    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Taste is Spot on ! So much choices.. vietnamese menu and Chinese good menu. Service is awesome we had like 5 different waiters coming to our table asking us if we needed anything and checking on us. It was mildly busy when we went and service was very attentive and quick . Pricing is reasonable and portion are generous which is hard combo go find these days . One of nicer vietnamese places we have been to. Parking is limited I mean barley any spaces in parking lot and underground and they are tiny spaces. Street parking at your own risk if you get what I mean. I can only imagine when it super busy how bad the parking is. But let me tell you it is worth the visit ! You will find something for everyone here. And again pricing is reasonable in an unreasonable pricing climate we are in today.

    There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant. Most people park on the nearby street. A solid spot for some Vietnamese food in the area. They seem to be quite popular as there was a wait the two times I went. They have lots of food options. The pho was solid but the meat portion was on the smaller side.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. There is parking on the street as well as an underground parking behind the restaurant. The restaurant is very nice, bright, and clean. The decors were cool. We signed in to the waiting list. Waited outside and before long, we were called in and got our table. The staffs were courteous and friendly. This is a Vietnamese restaurant that also serve Chinese Foods. They have two sets of menus. One for Vietnamese dishes and the other one for Chinese dishes. Both menus offer a variety of selections. They even have Set Dinner Menu that comes with pre-set items. Have to give that a try one day. We ended up ordering the Bún Bò Huế and the Vietnamese Braised Fish. The Braised Fish did not come with steam rice, so we had to order the steam rice. For the drinks, we had the Peach Oolong Iced Tea and the 3-Colored Dessert. The Bún Bò Huế was very good. The Braised Fish was a little salty but still tasted good. The Peach Oolong Iced Tea was refreshing. The 3-Colored Dessert was very yummy. I enjoyed the sweet taste of it. They gave us orange slices for dessert on the house. The orange slices were so sweet and delicious. Will be back to try their other dishes I saw on their menus.

    Bun mam aka fermented fish vermicelli soup
    Melinda Q.

    There are very few Vietnamese restaurants that I've come across growing up in the SGV that offer the fermented fish vermicelli soup (aka bun mam) but Golden Delight does! This soup is so pungent that the only time I get to savor it is at home and the stink doesn't leave your home for a few days. So, it is to my delight that they offer it here during the weekdays. It is a nicely stacked bowl that has everything but the kitchen sink in it - roast pork belly, catfish, squid, eggplant, and stuffed jalapeno with fried fish cake. Very filling and reasonably priced! The only reason I gave this place a 4 instead of 5 rating is because you can only order certain items from the menu when they open. I wanted to get some Chinese food to-go for my husband, but was told by the server that the other items were only available beginning at 10 am, which is odd to me.

    Sweet and Vietnamese Hot & Sour Catfish Soup
    Brian T.

    Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant with 2 different respective menus. Got a mix of both. Pretty empty on a weekday afternoon. Haven't been here in a while and seems like quality has gone down. Started with the fried shrimp with salted egg. Shrimp wasn't crispy and the Salty egg flavor wasn't the best. Wasn't crispy and seemed like it didn't get to rest properly with the oil still on. Braised pork belly with egg tasted just like something you can make at home but still tasty. Came with 3 eggs and thick cuts of pork belly. Could be more tender as some pieces were tough. The pho was ok. Broth more on salty side. Hot stone kept it hot but the beef ribs were not tender. The hot and sour soup was decent. Not too sour and good amount of catfish inside. The ice mojito mocktail was refreshing. Felt more upscale before eating in here.

    This place is always busy. Came on a Saturday around 1:30 pm with a party of 3 and still had about a 15 minute wait. Service started a bit slow. It took a while to get water and place our order, and staff doesn't really check in much after that. The menu here is different from Golden Delight #2. This location has both a Vietnamese and separate Chinese menu. The Chinese side is more family-style, while the Vietnamese menu is noticeably smaller. They don't offer things like com tam or goi here, which was a bit disappointing. I wish they were more transparent on the viet menu and then just offer additional chinese food at this location if anything. The food is just as good and portions are just as big as the other location. The space is similar in size to #2, and not quite as clean or new, but still nicer than many other Vietnamese spots. It has that same gold-themed decor that gives it a slightly more upscale feel. Parking is convenient with street spots in front or a free 2-hour lot in the back, though it does fill up. Overall, still a good spot, but I personally prefer the #2 location for the more complete vietnamese menu and cleaner/brighter space.

    Pho bo vien
    Edward C.

    Ordered dinner here for the family. First time at Golden Delight, offering a teo chow chinese menu and vietnamese menu. Vietnamese kitchen closed at 7. Ordered dinner for the family to go on the vietnamese menu. Got pho dac biet, pho ga and pho bo vien along with spring rolls (that has shrimp and pork). Total was just under $80 which not out of the norm these days. Waited about 20 minutes for the food. While waiting, there's not a whole lot of room to stand by unless you hang around the register area, but the staff was kind to offer me a seat at the booth that was vacant to wait. The staff was very nice and easy to talk to and checked in with you made you feel very comfortable. The restaurant has a lot of seating and based on the menu has a lot of food offering especially for a place that serves both Chinese and Vietnamese dishes. I had the pho bo vien and the soup base is on par, but the meatball was meh. It lacked flavor and was not complimenting the soup or noodles at all. This is the reason for the two star deduction. It was an alright dish and likely would not try it again. My mother in law had the pho dac biet and she told me she was not a fan of it and prefers other restaurants pho dac biet. My wife had pho ga and she reports its a decent dish as well. So all in all it received an "okay" rating. The packaging of the to go order was a bit on the fancy side which i think is a nice touch but does not make up for the food being "okay". Would i come back to this restaurant? Probably if i am in the area but will likely try their Chinese menu and see how that fairs to their Vietnamese menu. Would it be a first choice if i was trying to decide a place to eat, for me not likely. Hopefully their chinese menu will change my mind. Until then it was a decent choice.

    Party of 3 stumbled upon this restaurant based on Yelp! The restaurant is bright, clean, and modern. They have a small garage parking. Service is really busy, I think they shared all the tables. It's friendly and efficient. We ordered beef crispy noodles which is authentic, a small braised pork with egg is very flavorful. Highly recommended dish. Squid with basil sauce is kind of half crispy and half sauce - it's good and tasty. Rice is $1 per bowl. Overall, we will comeback here to try their pho, and other Chinese / Vietnamese dishes.

    Golden Delight #1 located on Garvey Ave. in El Monte serves Vietnamese cuisine along with some Chinese dishes. Our party of 9 were seated at their large after a short wait. They do not take reservations and you check in at the kiosk next to the host podium. Because we of large group we were able to try lots of different dishes. Sautéed shrimp and asparagus Beef stew Bo Kha Sautéed bock choy Golden Delight Pho beef rib Fried chicken wings Mapo tofu Bun Suon Moc vermicelli House Special Prawn E-Fu Noodle Ong Choy w/ fermented bean curd Egg rolls French style beef cube All of the items were good and everything came out fast. The best item was the house special prawn noodle. The interior decor is like a nice dim sum place rather than your normal pho restaurant. Service was good but very ridged toward the vegetation restrictions of one in our group. Street parking only.

    $5.50 Pennywort Juice. $16.50 Golden Delight Pho (Stone Bowl) $15.50 Bun Bo Hue.

    To say that I have been planning to go to, Newport Seafood, is an understatement. It is considered…read moreto be one of the best destinations for fresh seafood, with the accent on Chinese cuisine. What has shunned me from this place, is the distance and the traffic, from the SFV. Finally, I made the journey. And arrived for lunch, on a weekday. To come here and not order their iconic Signature dish, the House Special Newport Style Lobster, would be a sin. Imagine a trip that was almost 40 miles and an hour of traffic (one way), with no reward. It was time to experience the real thing. The signature dish. Walking in solo, I was given a booth. I liked that. On seating, I ordered a beverage to quench my thirst, catch my bearings and breath. Almost immediately, the servers kept bugging me to order. The place was barely 1/4th occupied. Whats the hurry. After all this, I had to repeatedly tell them, that i had already spoken with a server, regarding my order. Just wanted to relax first, catch my breath, sip my beverage. Coming here, I was aware that their tank lobsters would be in the 4-6 pound range. Good for, and ordered by, at least 3-4 people. So when I, as a solo diner, ordered a 4-pound lobster (with no other choice), just for myself, they began to leave me alone and give me more respect. The cut up wok prepared, House Special Newport Style Lobster, arrives wonderfully presented, with heaps of leeks, scallions and jalapenos. My kind of recipe. Truly unique and exceptional. There is no sauce, and only a mild flavor, yet tasty. My biggest concern here was (after reading numerous internet reviews), that the lobster would be rubbery and dry. Not so for me. I lucked out. Problem here is, while there is lots of meat (a 4 pound lobster will yield at the most, about a pound of meat), they do not have, or provide, the essential lobster cutlery, to do justice to this beautiful crustacean. I did ask though. They did not seem to care and told me to use my fork. LOL. Steamed rice is complimentary. So is a soup, with sweet and sour, being the only choice (I did not like this). Either way, my plan was to take leftovers (there was a lot), home, where I possess high class lobster cracking tools. And thank heavens I did. They were most useful, to crack and dig into all the lobster meat, that would have been inaccessible at the restaurant. With additional TLC, the leftovers held up well, to provide several additional lobster meals. Need to go back to try their enticing and reasonably priced variety of lunch specials (more seafood, choices minus lobster). Another sought after box on my list, is now checked.

They opened and closed the door for us which was a nice touch because it was busy inside. We ordered the pork ramen, pork buns, and pork soup dumplings. On to the food! Pork Ramen: 3/5 They give you a hefty amount of noodles and pork. They use a thin noodle here which pairs well with the broth. I truly do believe this was around average for ramen as the flavor in the broth was not as strong or savory. The highlight of the entire entree was definitely the pork, which was tender and flavorful. I probably would not order this again. Pork bun: 5/5 The pork buns were soft and fluffy, almost too good looking to eat. There was the right amount of soup and meat inside that made for a wonderful bite full of flavor. Not dry at all. Would recommend ordering this if you visit. Pork Dumplings: 5/5 The star of the show, the dumplings. They were soft and just like the buns, they had the right amount of soup + meat which made for a delicious bite every time. My toddler even ate some and she's usually super picky about meat. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for the other noodles, the dumplings, and buns. You can skip on the ramen. I would 100% come back here to dine in. Quick note that parking gets full pretty quick here.

Since my husband and I were in the general area, we decided to get a late dinner on a Saturday night. We walked in around 8:45 pm and were acknowledged by an employee after waiting for maybe 5 minutes asking if we would like a table. But the strange thing was that I had told the the employee who acknowledged me that I wanted a table for 2, he didn't sit us. He looked like he was trying to clean the table but then just walked away... but luckily another employee saw us and asked how many for a table. But anyway, after looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: A11: Fish Siu Mai with Rice Roll, $13.99 prior to tax- I ordered this dish, which was plenty for one person (this dish is found under the appetizer section of the menu). I actually really love rice noodles and also fish siu mai so this was a great combination for me. And the peanut and soy sauce mixture poured all over reminds me of when I had freshly made rice noodle in Hong Kong many years ago. But my husband would prefer the rice noodle not to have any of the sauce (or on the side so he can maybe just dip it if he wanted to). I think this dish could use less of the peanut soy sauce mixture too but I still overall really liked this dish. D9: Grilled Pork Chop with Black Pepper Sauce, $16.99 prior to tax- This dish comes with your choice of either steamed white rice or noodle. My husband decided to have rice. He thought the pork chop was delicious and perfectly cooked. He also really liked the black pepper sauce that he picked to go with the pork chop (I know you can also pick a mushroom sauce but I don't recall if there was a 3rd sauce you can choose from or not). Portion wise, this is more than enough for one person since you are getting 2 pork chops. This is actually one of my mom's favorite dishes to order when she goes to any Hong Kong style cafes too. ----------------------------------- (Total= $34.23 after tax, prior to tip) Service was minimal. I spoke both Cantonese and English (well actually my husband spoke English and I spoke in Cantonese. I am just trying to make myself speak Cantonese more) so you shouldn't really have a problem ordering here. I really like the food and I am glad this place does open late. And it was pretty busy as time progressed while we were here. We also saw a few large groups come in and the staff moving quickly to put tables together to accommodate these big groups. Overall, we had a positive dining experience and would come back.

    We've been here many times throughout the past 3 years and each time we leave with our bellies full…read moreand a smile on our faces. It's simple what they do well here, they make darn good food that tastes like homemade food (healthy and delicious), they price everything on the menu very reasonably (especially in these crazy times), and they treat all their customers like family/neighbors. Now that I've given you the why, let's move on to the good food. We usually order the beef noodle soup because of how tender the meat is and the soup & noodles are just perfect comfort food. And we always pair it with veggies (garlic cucumbers or water spinach) and pork dumplings are also amazing. Almost any of their braised meat rice/noodles are just really good (popular ones are braised pork rice or braised chicken leg rice). Interior space is also very roomy and comfortable for big groups or cozy meals Parking is pretty easy since they have a lot in their back entrance and they used to let you park underground as well but the building's new management started closing the gates at 6pm because they're just sad and unfriendly human beings lol but luckily the surrounding area has many places to park.

    On the way back from Santa Ana, find LuYiXuan Restaurant in Alhambra, which serves Shanghainese and…read moreTaiwanese cuisine. This restaurant is difficult to get parking because it is located inside a small plaza on the corner of Valley and Garfield. Fortunately, I found a parking space there. The restaurant is not particularly large, But there are many customers dining there. We ordered Garlic Cucumber, Braised Pork Rice, Garlic Water Spinach, Braised Beef Noodles, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Garlic Beef Cubes, and two Thai Milk Teas. I'm able to speak with the owner, who informs me that this restaurant does not use MSG or other ingredients. Everything is fresh and healthy. After tasting the food and the Braised Beef Noodles, I can tell it's really tasty and light, with no harsh components that make you thirsty and want to drink more water. So far, my family and I have really enjoyed the food here. Definitely will return and try other delicious foods next time.
