I have been here a few times now and finally writing this review. I would say it's a pretty solid place for Vietnamese food with the interior aesthetics being very different for what you would expect a Rosemead restaurant to look like. The most recent time I came here is Labor Day Monday at 12pm which is the WORST time to come because it's extremely busy/crowded and there's so many people waiting in line. We have 10 people ahead of us when we got there. If possible, sign up for the Yelp waitlist long before you come during prime hours (if you are able to). We got the bun rieu, the hu tieu, and the pho ga. For the appetizers, we got the spring rolls and the banh beo. We also got one order of com tam to go. Total without tip came out to be $99. We had three people and realistically, that's way too much food. We ended up taking one of the noodle dishes to go and half orders of the spring rolls and banh beo to go as well. However, all very tasty, not too oily which is great! And overall pretty decent lunch. Only downside is the line and to be honest, I would not stand in line for this restaurant but my aunt really wanted to come here for the bun mam. Which also ironically she didn't even get to eat it this time around because they only offer it on Saturdays and Sundays. FYI - Go to the other location on Garvey if you want bun mam. I believe they offer it daily.
Meeting up with people and they recommended this place for lunch. Said everything is good here. This location is behind 888 and the entrance is on the side, facing the parking lot. There are lots of parking. The restaurant looks like they have been renovated since I came a year ago. We ordered a selection of dishes to share, including the chicken rice, bun beo etc. everything tasted good, but on the more expensive side. They don't give enough veggie and said it would cost more for additional lettuce. That is not typical for a Vietnamese restaurant.
Great Food, Great Company, Great Portions! Lunch date with my Bff. We stopped by Golden Delight Restaurant on Valley and Rosemead and shared their Mixed Combo Cơm Tấm and rice sheets. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. The portions are huge too--two dishes were more than enough for the two of us. My only complaint is the customer service, but I do understand under staffing. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food with generous portions, definitely give them a try. Always happy to support an amazing local business!
Great service by Tuyen, place is clean and has great selection of food and specialty, special ambiance and design, food is yum yum, plenty of parking.
New Location, Same Curiosity! Decided to give this newer location a try since our first visit to Golden Delight was years ago. I wanted to try their rice noodle soup with a mix of egg noodles and rice noodles, and let me just say... the picture speaks a thousand words. What arrived looked quite different from what was advertised on the menu. Although most of the ingredients were there, it definitely wasn't as pretty or as generously presented as the photos. Rice Noodle Soup (Egg Noodles + Rice Noodles Mixed) Rating: 6.8/10 The soup itself actually wasn't bad! The broth was light, clean, and nicely seasoned without being too heavy. While I enjoyed trying something different, it isn't a dish I'd order again on my next visit. Now let me warn you about their sauté sauce... It is PACKED with flavor but also seriously spicy! I made the mistake of adding a little too much to my noodle soup, and let's just say my taste buds definitely woke up. A little goes a long way, so add it slowly! The restaurant itself is very modern, clean, and has a trendy fusion vibe that makes for a nice dining experience. As much as I appreciate the updated atmosphere, I always find myself gravitating back toward the more traditional, authentic-style Vietnamese restaurants when I'm craving comfort food. Service Unfortunately, the service on our Sunday visit was probably the biggest downside. Our waitress wasn't very friendly and didn't seem interested in explaining the menu when we had a few questions. Instead, she came across as if she was in a rush the entire time, and her overall attitude felt a bit off-putting. It honestly made us feel like we were inconveniencing her just by asking questions. Great service can really elevate a meal, and unfortunately, this experience did the opposite. Between that and the food, it's another reason I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return to this location. Overall, it was a nice spot to try once, but next time I'll probably explore a different dish--and maybe a different location. Happy eats!
I stopped by Golden Delight #2 for lunch on a weekday around noon, and there was no wait. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and has a modern, updated interior that feels much nicer than a typical pho restaurant. I ordered the Golden Delight Pho and really enjoyed the flavorful, clean-tasting broth. One thing I especially appreciated was that the beef and noodles were served separately from the hot broth, so I could cook the beef to my preferred doneness while keeping the noodles from getting soggy. I also tried the 10-Item Golden Delight Broken Rice. It's a great choice if you're visiting for the first time or can't decide what to order. The platter comes with a nice variety of meats and traditional Vietnamese sides, making it a fun sampler to experience different flavors in one meal. Service was quick during my visit, and the overall dining experience was pleasant. The only downside is that parking in this plaza can get pretty crowded, especially during peak hours, so you may need to be a little patient finding a spot.
Delicious food and quick service!! The restaurant is bright and spacious, love how modern everything feels. We ordered the nem with Vietnamese grilled pork sausage (3 pcs), charbroiled sliced pork, and egg rolls after noticing almost every table ordering it. It definitely lived up to the hype, so delicious and huge portions to feed 2-3 people. My new first choice for Vietnamese food in the 626 area!
Picked up a order of vermicelli with grilled pork and egg rolls. Pretty good flavor but the skin on the egg rolls are pretty chewy. On the pricey side but what isn't these days. Wish there was more pork.
super good! i love their egg rolls, they were so crunchy and tasty! presentation wise too, nailed it. i noticed towards the end of the meal that the bun rieu didn't include the pork, so it was disappointing noticing afterwards when i left. but other than that, everything was super amazing still! service was amazing & ambiance was super quiet & peaceful. also! they had very calming music on.
Had a great dining experience at their Golden Delight #1, so decided to try out their Golden Delight #2. There are more parking spaces here but parking can be tough. This spot is very popular, so expect a little wait. Also, don't come 45 minutes before they close, or you won't be able to get in. We were the last group on their waiting list. Those that came after us were turned away. Please note that the menu at this location serves mainly Vietnamese dishes while the other location also has a menu for Chinese foods. The restaurant is bright, nice, and clean. Service was excellent. We ordered: - Bánh Bèo - Bún Riêu - Cơm Tấm Bò Nướng - 2 Orders of the Vietnamese Grilled Pork Sausage (3 pcs) & Charbroiled Sliced Pork Plate All dishes were very good and delicious. We all enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. Would definitely be back to try their other dishes.
Funny. I've been in this plaza many times and never eaten here. I was recommended this restaurant by Phong, the owner of the UPS store in Monterey Park, CA (Atlantic Blvd.). I highly recommend his store! Needless to say, I was jonesing for some pho and this restaurant did not disappoint. After adding my name to the cue, I was seated about 15 minutes later. Much faster than a dim sum wait. I ordered their signature pho and some Cha Gio along with their tasty hot Vietnamese cawfee. By the time I was done, I was satiated beyond belief! Highly recommend and will return again! Gluttony rules!
Every time I've passed by Golden Delight #2, it's always so busy and there's a reason why, the food is so bomb. We went to celebrate Mother's Day and there was a bit of a wait, but there's always a line. You can join the Yelp Waitlist and then enter your phone number to check your queue in line. After about 30 minutes, we ordered a delicious meal that included the Golden Delight Pho (aka the Pho Dac Biet) for $16.50 and Bun Nem Nuong + Cha Gio (Vietnamese Grilled Pork Sausage & Egg Rolls with Vermicelli. I usually order the Charbroiled Pork & Egg Rolls with Vermicelli, swapping out the proteins at various Vietnamese restaurants, so I've had my fair share of Bun Thit Nuongs and dear lord, this is probably of of the best I've had lololol. The eggrolls were soo good. I usually judge the dish by the quality of the eggrolls and man, these eggrolls were bomb. And the nam nuong was really good too! Pho was great and I was so full. Overall, the place is beautiful, service is good, parking can be busy, but I definitely recommend this place!
Dare I say, best pho in the 626? I finally found the opportunity to eat at Golden Delight after passing by hundreds of times to see a long line in front of the store. I came by on a Friday at 7pm for a dinner (weekend before Mother's Day) and was able to get seated in 15 minutes. They have a Yelp waitlist but you must go in person to join the waitlist. There's a spacious parking lot but there's rarely any spots available and will require you to wait for a free one. The interior is honestly very pretty. It's decorated with overhead chandeliers with bright lights and marble tables. When your table is ready, they also give you a tray full of chopsticks, napkins, and forks. Each table also has hoisin, sriracha, chili sauce, and another sauce I'm not too sure about. After we ordered, I got my pho da biet maybe 5 minutes after. The cha gios also came out a few minutes after too. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's com tam was forgotten about until after I devoured my pho. We even asked them about it in the middle and it was checked on but we weren't updated and thought they had went ahead and cancelled it but it still came out. No biggy, we packed it to-go since we basically split the pho da biet. Food: Pho da biet (9.5/10): The pho was soooo delicious. It was meaty with a little bit of sweetness to it. This is one of the few places where I don't feel the need to sauce down my pho to enjoy it. There's a good amount of meat in here. If you're a tendon enjoyer, there's about 3 big chunks in here. I love the way they separate everything. If you order this, it comes with the stone bowl at no additional costs. They separate the noodles and ribeye on the side and let you "decorate" it yourself. There was also a good amount of noodles in here. Com tam (7.9/10): I thought that this one was just okay. We got the grilled pork and grilled pork chop and I thought that the meats were cooked perfectly. There was a nice char to the meats and it was seasoned deliciously. It came with a lot of rice and a side of soup to enjoy! I did enjoy this fish sauce more than the one that came with the egg rolls. Overall, I wish this dish came out the same time as the pho so we could've enjoyed it together. Cha gio/Imperial Rolls (7/10): I love egg rolls but this one didn't really stand out to me. It comes with a good amount of vegetables that you can use to wrap your egg rolls in. I wish the fish sauce that came with this was more salty. Maybe it was that day, but I couldn't really tell what was inside the filling. It was all mushed in together instead of different layers. The skin was very thin and crispy which I really liked!

Consistent with the other location! I got the beef rib pho with the extra (2.50$) slices of rare beef. Comes in a hot stone broth with 2 beef ribs and meatballs, pho and rare beef on the side. Noodles are thin, firm, and bouncy. Love the texture. Broth is always flavorful, on point! Got the imperial rolls and thai tea as well. Imperial rolls are always fried perfectly and crispy. Lots of flavor and filling. Comes with a side of greens, sour carrots, and fish sauce to add more flavor (I noticed it didn't come with the noodles unlike the other location). Would definitely get the imperial rolls again. There was a bit of a (short) wait when I went. There's less tables than the other location, but it was still super spacious. Interior was super clean and aesthetic. Loved that their bathrooms were also very clean! Staff is super friendly and helpful even though they were quite busy. Overall loved my experience here and their pho. Would definitely recommend. It's my favorite pho spot in 626. Super happy I tried it! read more

Went here for dinner last night because we were craving some Vietnamese rolls. Service was great and we were seated very quickly for dinner time. The lighting at the place was great and place was very lively. You know a place is good when they have different types of people eating there. We ate, Nem & Eggroll Vermicelli / Bún Nem & Chả Giò - 10/10 The nem was very tasty. Chá Gio/eggroll was nice and crispy! Grilled pork was my favorite! Would come back! :) read more

Had a great experience at Golden Delight #2. The beef pho was really good with a rich, flavorful broth and tender meat. The place feels clean, spacious, and has a luxury ambiance that makes it comfortable to dine in. We ordered a few dishes and the total was only $46, which is very affordable for the quality and portion. Friendly service and overall a great value. Definitely coming back again. read more
There was a bit of a wait during lunch but it wasn't too bad. The restaurant is pretty spacious and has decent amount of seating. The portions were also a good size and sharable. The service was alright, they forgot some things for our orders like the rice paper and the veggies for the Bun Bo Hue. Overall a pretty solid Viet spot was good variety on the menu! read more
We met up with family at Golden Delight #2 for dinner. Since we arrived around 5 pm, parking was plentiful and we were seated right away. My daughter-in-law ordered a variety of dishes for us to share. We had a number of rolls that we wrapped with a variety of grilled pork, egg rolls, sausage, and veggies. We also had some fried shrimp paste with sugarcane. The watermelon juice was freshly made and enjoyable. The restaurant was bright and spacious with a number of tables quickly filling up as we dined. Food was fresh and service attentive. read more
We had a to-go order from here, and it was good. We ordered a nem combo that feeds 2-3 people, and the two of us were quite full afterward. I'm not sure if it was forgotten, but it didn't come with spring roll wrappers, so I used my own at home. The nem nuong was a bit different from what I'm used to at other places, but it was still pretty good. I do wish the combo came with a bit more sauce, though it did include both the orange sauce and fish sauce. Overall, it's a pretty good portion and tastes good for the $26 price! read more
Delightful Vietnamese Restaurant that was recommended by our friends for a casual, no frills Vietnamese restaurant. We had the broken rice with all the trimmings, the pho, and also their spring rolls. Our server was pleasant and delightful. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious! The downside is that they're always busy and parking can be an issue as well. They didn't take any reservations unless you have a large party. read more
Walked in here and it's pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon. But this broken rice dish combination. $24 Also got a very unique soup bold dish that cost$16. It's full of seafood and the salty shrimp paste that's super nostalgic for me, but was quite strong. I'd pass on this next time. Service was excellent and the space is bright and airy. Food is good enough to come back! read more

Golden Delight's second location is the kind of destination you willingly sit through Valley Blvd. traffic for and battle for parking in an overwhelmed lot. A few things worth noting: - Currently my favorite thing to eat: the fermented fish vermicelli soup (weekends only). It has that signature tangy, slightly funky depth that makes each bite so satisfying. - The house special tomato soup with thick vermicelli is equally satisfying, available every day. Pork blood cubes, yum! - Jasmine iced tea is incredibly floral and fragrant. It's a refreshing balance paired with the noodle soups. The food and service is always consistent, and the golden touches give the ambiance a slightly elevated experience. If you're a noodle soup fiend, you definitely want to give this place a try! read more
Food was really good and definitely satisfied my cravings. We got the Vietnamese steamed rice cake with dried shrimp, charbroiled pork and egg rolls with vermicelli, bun bo hue, dried noodles with thin and egg noodles, chicken salad, and spring rolls. Everything was really good and flavorful. I especially loved the thin noodles with the sauce, and the chicken salad honestly exceeded my expectations. The spring rolls were decent. All the bowls were really flavorful, and the portion sizes are generous and match well with the price. There's plenty of seating. There were a couple parties ahead of us when we got there, but it moved pretty fast and we only waited about 5 minutes. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, this is definitely my go to Vietnamese spot in the area! They also have another location on Garvey as well read more
A second Golden Delight opened on Valley Blvd in SGV area... the restaurant is pretty clean n neat included dining n restroom!! The menu is shown all pictures for easier reading to customers... Hot Stone Pho is still included to menu and it was served pretty hot soup base...!! I ordered Beef rib pho n the meat was tenderness enough, but could be braised a little long time.. so I could separate meat n bones easily... and the ice coffee Vietnamese could be strong favor a bit... Overall, everything is fine to get a four stars!! read more
Food 5/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Price 4/5 Overall 5/5 Well if you want higher end semi upscale Vietnamese food with higher quality, presentation, clean restrooms, clean dining and fresh cool clean ambiance and it's bright! Dont need to go anywhere else! I felt like I dined at a high end Vietnamese restaurant. Great job with the food taste, food presentation, even my bowl of pho comes out on a hot stone pot! Amazing stuff. Will come back! Be ready for a short to moderate wait during peak times. Check on yelp, but this spot was legit and prices wasn't ridiculous at all for all of us party of 6, it was $110 ish read more
Couple weeks ago we went to Golden Delight #1 and really enjoyed the food there. So here we are at Golden Delight #2 for lunch on a Saturday. You either have to come early or later than 1pm to avoid wait. Service is friendly, they don't have assigned table. You get attention quickly. Vibe is more high end restaurant, clean and modern - decor looks like #1. We order Banh Beo Dried shrimp (rice cake in tiny plates with dried shrimp) - it's really tasty! Spicy beef noodles which is Bun Bo hue - it's flavorful, spicy. Last, golden delight pho with flat noodles. It's good. They use fresh ingredients, and I am happy to report actually #2 offer dishes not available at #1 and vice versa. I actually love that! read more
My official go-to Pho place in SGV. I've had a few places, but this. This place has the best pho broth, tender meats, and fresh thick noodles (not all place offers it). Service is always good and consistent. I like their gold accents everywhere from the utensils to the decor and cups. It's a nice touch. read more
If you are looking for a baseline minimalist pho, this isn't it. This is a massive, maximum-effort bowl built for true meat lovers. The centerpiece is a hefty, gelatinous, perfectly tender piece of oxtail that falls away from the bone with zero effort. Golden Delight doesn't skimp on the rest of the bowl either; it comes fully loaded with a premium lineup of ribeye/rare filet steak, brisket, tendon, tripe, and bouncy beef balls. Golden Delight's Vietnamese-style chicken curry is a masterclass in rich, aromatic textures, straying far from thinner, watered-down takeout curries. Incredibly comforting, savory, and best enjoyed when ordered with a crusty, warm baguette to soak up every last drop of the gravy. If you want deep, beefy complexity, go for the Oxtail Pho. If you want sweet, aromatic richness with an authentic texture profile, the Chicken Curry is a flawless choice. read more
The second time in my life trying nem and it's so good I forget how much I'm missing out on. This one was pretty pricey but the menu said it can feed 1-2 people, which was true. It lasted me two meals. I chose the Vietnamese grilled pork sausage and charbroiled sliced pork of which both were pretty tender. The sausage was juicy and tender, which was surprising. Unfortunately, my dish took the longest to come out in my group of 5. I think they forgot to put in my order because it took an additional 10+ minutes for it arrive after everyone else's did. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though. We came on a Saturday at 2pm and it was still pretty busy. We had to put our name down on the waitlist and it took an additional 20 min to get seated. The interior decoration is very out-of-the-ordinary for a Vietnamese restaurant with white marble and gold accents. read more

Plenty of parking on a late Tuesday afternoon. Clean open and well lit restaurant. But definitely warn ya try to find seating closer to the windows instead of the door. It's super windy and was a bit drafty. Luckily I have a jacket on while eating. I ordered the pick your three item pho and imperial egg rolls. I had meatball, filet mignon, and tripe. I think they forgot the tripe on my order but it's fine. I didn't ask for a replacement. Food was clean and I was able to get the egg rolls packed to go. Good meal. Will be back again read more
I used to be a fan of their original location #1 that served more Viet and Chinese dishes, but this second location leans fully Vietnamese. This spot has become one of my go to places for noodles, and their com tam is also really good. I usually rotate between the bun rieu, bun bo hue, pho dac biet, and canh bun. The broths here are legit and full of flavor. For com tam, I normally get the three item plate and the grilled nem is solid too. It does get pretty packed and the plaza parking is horrible, but lately I've been calling in my order for pickup. At this point, I'm basically a weekly customer. They package everything nicely and it heats up well at home, which I appreciate. This is definitely one of my current go to Vietnamese spots in the SGV. Worth checking out if you haven't tried it yet. read more
I fear Golden Delight might be overhyped. I came on a Friday night and waiting 35 - 40 minutes and I think because of the wait I expected the pho to blow my mind but honestly it was just mediocre. I will say for 17 dollars a bowl that they do give a good amount of meat but I wouldn't say the portion sizes are out of the norm. Most pho places I go to have big portions. I also think the broth was lacking in a depth of flavor and aromatics compared to other pho places I've been to in the OC. It could have been more flavorful filling and crispy. The vermicelli($15) with grilled pork and egg rolls had a very one dimensional flavor. The egg rolls could have been crispier as well. I really did enjoy the spring rolls ($11) thought. The shredded pork was really flavors which balanced extremely well with the herbs and vegetables in the roll. Overall I highly recommend the spring rolls but nothing can beat Brodard spring rolls. read more

There's always a line so we only went for the first time on this Sunday. We got there at 6:45pm party of 2 and got seated around 7:05pm with 12 parties ahead of us. The service was efficient and friendly. We ordered the bun rieu and pho dac bite and thought both were on point. Their broth is on the lighter side compared to nha Trang or golden deli but still very flavorful. Will come back to try out the pho ga and rice dishes! read more
Craving Vietnamese food? You found the spot. This was SO GOOD. Affordable, delicious, and authentic. The restaurant is honestly really clean compared to a lot of Asian restaurants I've been to. My friend got the com tam for her first time, and she loved it. Def worth a visit if you haven't been. read more
Overall, this place is decent. I came in on Easter, and there was a bit of a wait, we were the fifth party in line. Once seated, our server was quick to ask if we were ready to order, so we went ahead and made our choices. I really liked how my drinks were served--my cold water and jasmine iced tea came in a nice metal cup, which kept everything super cold, just how I like it. As for the food, it was okay. I had the vermicelli with grilled pork and egg rolls. The pork was a bit on the dry side, but the egg rolls were crispy and tasty. I also tried the "pick 3" combo with rice, which was alright. The baked egg, however, was dry and all I tasted was yolk. The additional $3 charge for extras felt a bit steep. I'd say something closer to $1.50 would be more reasonable. The interior was bright, clean, and had the AC blasting, which was a nice. All in all, I prefer Com Tam in San Gabriel for this kind of meal. read more
My parents had not had Vietnamese food in a long time, so we decided to go to the Golden Delight in Rosemead. It's a very bright restaurant. There are abundant seats and the servers are nice. We got seated fairly quickly at 11 AM, but saw there were long lines by 12 PM. I wanted something different so I got chicken curry. We also shared a 3 item pho with tripe, tendon, and brisket, as well as a shrimp, egg, and tomato soup vermicelli. The food came out fairly quickly. The curry had a slight layer of grease at the top but otherwise was really good. It went well with rice and then I also took it home and dipped it in bread. The pho was quite tasty and adding some lime made it amazing. The vermicelli had strong tomato flavors and I loved the various meats and tofu inside the dish. Solid Vietnamese restaurant for the San Gabriel Valley. read more
