Oxtail Pho
Ran C.

A coworker who loves this place recommended it - otherwise, I would have never known about it because when I think Vietnamese food, Little Saigon (Westminster) automatically comes to mind. Not that this place is any closer but now I know of it in case I'm around and craving it. Starting with parking - I guess there's a lot behind but I parked on the residential side street. It was free and I didn't see any restrictions (signs). There's street parking on the main drag but I'm not a fan of trying to park or pull out when cars are doing freeway speeds on surface streets. Walked in and immediately seated. Glad I got there when I did because shortly after I was seated, the crowd hit and diners were standing waiting for a seat. I got there before the lunch crowd. It's my first time and it was on a Sunday so I can't tell you what their peak times are. Call and ask or chat with a regular. Service was find. When needed, I waved someone down. Typical service I expect from a Vietnamese restaurant. As for the food, I ordered too much. I ended up taking a bunch home, mostly the rolls. I don't like soup to go. Noodles would have gotten too soggy ... But I enjoyed it to the point I know I'll go back. The broth hit me on the first sip. It felt like a punch of flavor that woke up my taste buds in a really good way. I took several sips before putting my Pho together to start eating. At other places, I'm used to getting a portion of how many rolls were served here. I ended up eating half of each, taking the rest home. I like that they were balanced with ingredients - I wasn't looking whether something was missing or not. I could tell with each bite. I really enjoyed this place and I only wish it was closer.

I got the Golden Delight Pho, Beef Short Ribs Pho, and Egg rolls. Egg rolls were a perfect appetizer. They were perfectly crispy on the outside, had lots of filling inside, and came with 6 big pieces. It also had a side of veggies and fish sauce, which I love using to wrap my egg rolls. The golden delight pho had rare meat and noodles to the side, while the other toppings came inside the sizzling pot of broth. It had lots of noodles and toppings: tripe, rare beef, tendon, meat balls, and brisket. Pho was really rich in flavor. I also loved that the sizzling pots kept the broth hot the whole time. Noodles were also very bouncy, loved the texture. Beef short ribs were also very tender and full of flavor. Although it was very busy during a Tuesday lunch hour, the waiters sat us asap. The restaurant was pretty full but the food still came out really quick. Servers were really nice and attentive. They checked on us a few times. The restaurant has lots of tables and it was clean. It gave an overall homey- atmosphere. I would definitely come here again. Pho is a great price for its quality!

This place has some of the best bun rieu I've ever had in California, and their grilled meats are pretty tasty too! The service was quick, and the place was clean and bright. You know it's legit because there's always a lot of locals here with their families. There is an underground parking, but it can get pretty smelling sometimes - probably my biggest gripe about the place, and it's not even the actual restaurant itself. Highly recommend!

I've eaten at this restaurant multiple times, and unfortunately, this is not the first time I've experienced this issue. As you can see in my photo, the pork skin still had a lot of visible hair on it. It was clearly not cleaned or prepared properly before being served. This has happened several times, which is very disappointing. I believe the restaurant should pay more attention to food preparation, cleanliness, and quality control. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes improvements so customers don't continue having the same experience.

I enjoyed the food here. The restaurant itself seems new and clean. The menu has beautiful photos with detail descriptions that make me wanna get everything. Service was efficient but not very friendly. Food was great and good portion size too. Definitely will come back to try other dishes.

A cute fusion Chinese and Vietnamese spot! Came on a super hot day with my mom for the first time. My lovely nail tech suggested this place and it was good! Loved their egg rolls but the hot pot pho was def a bad choice it was soooo hot on this day lol I also got their crab bahn cahn udon it was good. I felt something was missing regarding flavors. From the bahn mi spot to this they are def expanding towards the El Monte side I feel! Def try the egg rolls and hot pot pho those we delish. Service was okay staff was plenty and came when need be

Shrimp Hanoi Style Soup w/ Thin Vermicelli (Bún Thang)
Dan A.

Great flavors, big menu and a great manager. After reading the reviews, I decided to give this place a try on my only night in the Rosemead area. They had a Chinese menu and a Vietnamese menu. Honestly, it was a tough choice. I ordered the shrimp spring rolls , and the bun Bo nuong cha gio. The dishes were prepared with quality and patience. Lots of regulars in the restaurant it seemed. On this night , there were short staffed and I had to remind my server about my order a few times. The manager came out to apologize. She was a very good manager and handled things well. She offered me a discount, but I refused. Instead, she gave me a refreshing watermelon drink on the house. I will come back, next time I'm in town.

We recently moved into the area. The pho restaurants here are thousands of times better than the pho restaurants near our prior residence. We visited Golden Delight upon recommendation from a nail tech. We were blown away by the taste and quality. This place has is now part of our rotation. Enjoy!

Crab Udon (Bánh Canh Cua)

Some of the better viet food in the area. Huge portions! Nice restaurant inside, very clean.

My wife wanted to try out the banh canh cua so we came down to Golden Delight to give it a try. Oddly she went with her current favorite dish: bun rieu, and I got the banh canh cua with a side of Chinese donuts. Let's start by saying that we got there around 3pm and parked on a small street on the side. Once we walked in, we were greeted and seated almost right away. The original guy took or drink orders and gave us time since my wife wanted to look over the menu. The decor was clean and more modern than many restaurants in the area, but it does have that dated vibe to it. Later, a nice server named Esther came by and got our orders. It took about 10-15 minutes before our orders all came out, but everything was hot and in order. She enjoyed the bun rieu and the portion was plentiful. They were out of the pork rib meat and another item for that dish, but she enjoyed it anyways. I found the banh canh cua nice and tasty. It had a nice umami flavor and a thicker broth that went perfect with the Chinese donut. The banh canh texture was decent and the shrimp pieces were quite tender. The only thing about the service that wasn't stellar was that we weren't able to get a water refill by the time we were heading out, and it took a bit to flag someone down to pay our check. I can blame our server too much as it appears that she was on break, but there were other workers around prepping for the afternoon crowd. Otherwise, our first visit here was pretty good and we would likely return in the future.

Blooming tea with free glass tumbler
Emily W.

Food and prices were great! Ambiance is modern and I can see why it's always packed. They give generous portions of meat such as the beef stew and a lot of chicken for the chicken pho. I even got a free tea glass tumbler for ordering their blooming tea and got free hot water refills and two teacups to share. The chicken broth was light and the beef stew was hearty. I'll be returning when I need a warm meal to soothe the soul.

Best pho and egg spring rolls in SGV! Parking is available in the lot behind it, and they sometimes have a long line. Come in odd hours to avoid lines. They have a rock/stone bowl that keeps the pho broth warm longer and makes it taste better.

Rice

The restaurant has a sign in sheet, so make sure to put your name down when you get there. There's a parking lot on both sides of the building. The parking lot gets busy during the weekends. The food was good but the ac was not that high. It was really hot. I enjoyed the banh beo and the rice. The staff were efficient and fast. Lots of dishes on the menu to try. Nice decor and tables.

It's delicious, affordable, and an overall exquisite spot for authentic northern Chinese cuisine. If you enjoy Sichuan spice this is the spot you need to check out. Every time I visit the 626 area, I think about my first meal I had here a few years ago. I've been thinking about it ever since, but haven't had the chance to come back until this most recent weekend. Of course I had to order my all-time favorite dish, which was a bowl of their biang biang noodles. They have a cute sign that recommends mixing the noodles 18 times from the bottom of the bowl. We also ordered the mapo tofu and it was super garlic forward, which was a nice surprise. The portion of both dishes was excellent for sharing! I think the mapo was a bit salty as expected every time we order this dish anywhere, so getting a side of rice is an absolute must. The dish I feel like I'd skip next time would probably be the cold chicken with mala just because it wasn't too memorable for me personally. I think the other dishes were just more flavorful compared to this one, but it was still cool to try a new item during this visit and I think I'll try a different dish every time I come back just for funzies. They accept credit cards here and the customer service is excellent, so I have no doubt in my mind that they'll continue to be in business for a very long time. Long live Chong Qing the pumpkin king!!!!!!
