Was late, craving pho, and it was the only store open in the area and it definitely hit the spot. Great food, great service, would come back anytime I'm in Long Beach! read more

Really enjoyed my experience here! The pho was delicious and had a really good, flavorful broth. The noodles and meat were fresh, and everything came together perfectly. The egg rolls were also really good crispy on the outside, flavorful, and not greasy. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving pho and some good appetizers. The food was fresh, portions were satisfying, and I'd definitely come back again! read more

Pho here is actually pretty good for being in Long Beach. I ordered this to go since it was near closing when I arrived at the restaurant. The portion is very big. The pho broth was really flavorful and spice forward. They also had generous amounts of meat and tendon for the dac biet. The spring rolls were pretty average so I would not get that again. Overall I would come back when I am craving an easy and quick pho spot. read more

I was looking for something close for take out but was tired of the usual Lakewood mall selection when I finally decide to look up this place. I'm vegetarian and I had a nice fresh healthy dinner with lemongrass vermicelli with tofu and tofu spring rolls. I suppose it's kind of hard to mess up tofu but my food was good and had noodle dish had good flavor, but I added some sambal olek when I got home. I can't speak for other things on their wide menu but if you want some Vietnamese, seafood, pho, or vegan/vegetarian I think it's worth trying especially if you're in the local area. read more

Been here plenty of times. Usually I get the vermicelli bowl and love it. Their pho has always just been so so. I got their chicken pho the other day and it was nothing like before... I really hate to use the word horrible, but it was hardly edible. Super duper salty and a really off flavor. Broth soaked into the noodle and meat, making it bad as well. Then the chicken was super dry and hard to chew. They barely gave any toppings (see pics). Overall such a loss this time! We were shocked they would service such a poor quality dish. Makes us not want to go back here, unfortunately. It was just a bit uncomfortable to say anything as you could tell my the workers demeanor it didn't feel it would've been welcome. read more

All around good experience. Food was great. Spring rolls were okay but the chow fun was great, really filling. Passion fruit was something new. Tajin (i think) was an interesting twist. Food took a minute but came out hot. Every part of every dish was fresh and it was obviously made to order. Vegetables were crunchy, noodles were tasty everything was steaming. The store was calm. I think it was kpop or something. Still good energy. Generally didn't expect everything to be this good. Very good option for Asian food. read more

The food is still the best pho within a 5 mile radius. Which makes this location ideal. Plenty of parking too. But I took a star off for the service. We've been back a few times and it's been consistent except for lately. Maybe it's the heat. But the man serving us was full of No's and it just felt unwelcoming. And to eat in a space where you feel unwelcome is not exactly enjoyable. We asked for split portions and it was a no. We asked for extra dip so we wouldn't have to all dip in the same bowl. No. The pho portion this time around seemed like it was cut in half from the previous times we have come here. So we had to order a second bowl of pho. read more

2026 Review. 01.18.2026 2nd time here. I gave it a 5 star in 2025, today it lost 1 star.. Still my favorite Pho restaurant in the city of Lakewood. This time around ordered Pho with Ribs, Rice and Egg rolls. Nothing short on the taste and flavor. All very good! Taste is fresh. The only complaint I have for this visit is the service. Our waiter was very slow today as well as the chef. It was noon time and only a few people there. Our waters were not served until 15 minutes later. We received our foods but it took 45 mins. That is too long of a wait. Need to work on Service at a timely manner. Need to hire more workers. Lucky I was not in a rush at this visit. Plenty of parking with clean restrooms. I will come again. They close late too. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area, especially like their brisket and oxtail

We've had pho delivered from here twice. Both times my wife has had the filet mignon pho. I've had steak and brisket, and brisket and meatballs. The food has arrived quickly and hot. All of the pho sides were included. Great service. Their pho broth is rich and quite frankly, amazing. It is not too salty at all. Lovely rich beef flavor. It's my favorite close place. Very good pho here. read more

The good: I tried the pho noodle soup with 2 types of meat, seafood chow fun and bun thit nuong (grilled pork). Their menu offers so many options including Cajun seafood. The interior has a seafood/fishing theme with nets, fake crabs and lobsters. The bad: My husband said his bun thit nuong dish had half the meat he expected. The seafood chow fun was slightly mild in flavor. It lacked that wok aroma and char. It was dark inside. I'm unsure why they didn't turn the lights on. The interesting: You get free egg rolls if you write a review on Google. They don't have outdoor seating but this is common for Vietnamese restaurants. read more

The place lots of choices and so delicious and place clean look so good the design is look like your eating near to ocean I highly recommend... Family friendly read more

Good service and the food is yummy. Clean restaurant. The egg rolls are super crispy. Good variety of food.

I came here for lunch after leaving work to get that soul healing pho. The pho was just right! Satisfied my soul. The broth was perfect. The spring rolls came just before the pho, and they were great. The rolls were fresh and crisp. The thai tea was mostly milk, so I was sad about that. I was the only patron at the time and my water was never refilled. Other than that, it was great trying out this place. Looking forward to coming back to try their cajun items! read more

The menu photo, Rice and Seafood, $19.99. Looks like it had fresh, crunchy vegetables and a lot of seafood. Beautiful presentation. Now look at the other photo. Sadly, that's what I received. I got two thin sliced carrots, two small broccolli, onions and a couple of bok choy, and two shrimp, yes, only two!! Looks nothing like the photo on the menu. It was terrible. It looks like they scooped out a small serving from a plastic bin where it was already made, and just reheated it. It was not fresh at all, overcook vegetables and hardly any seafood. It was a small serving compared to the photo. Waste of money! We won't be back. read more

I'm always excited then saddened when a new restaurant opens in this space, because it is very challenging for them to stay open and I really want Saigon Hoa Pasteur to make it. I was feeling under the weather and didn't want to dine out, but I wanted soup and some spice to help me feel better. I loved the food that we got: Pho with steak and flank, 9/10, then the vermicelli with egg roll and chicken, 10/10 and the Bahn Mi with pork and fries 10/10. The food was fantastic but getting it as take out was a mistake. The Pho broth wasn't hot enough to cook the beef and we had to reheat it on the stove and there was way too much packaging. There were lots of sides that were delicious, but added to the packaging. I didn't want to spread my cold, but I wish we had eaten there except for the ambiance, which was not the best. When I go out I either: read if I'm by myself, or converse with my party. I definitely do not need to see/hear cartoons screaming at me, or any news programming at all. This is not a sports bar. If you must have the televisions on, show beautiful scenes of Southeast Asia or relaxing nature with ambient music. Since there's a seafood theme even beaches and the ocean would be nice. The service was prompt and efficient. I'm sure it would be for dining in as well, which is what I would do next time, unless the TVs are showing news/cartoons. In that case I'm moving on. read more

It's a local Pho and crawfish spot near Costco, so you know I had to try it. I got both + fries and it was...normal. It hits the spot if you're nearby and need a fix. I don't crave this type of food often, so when it does hit me, I'd rather drive out further to eat at better spots. Something weird did happen was some confusion on an order that never came out. When we decided to cancel it, they thought they had served it already. They were nice about it so, NO WORRIES! We went on a Sunday, around 4pm. A couple other tables were taken. Casual chill vibe. read more

The server was really sweet and attentive, and I've eaten here before under the old management, so I didn't realize it had changed ownership because the decor is still mostly the same. I did notice the restaurant seemed a lot more cluttered and less clean than before -- random items in corners, painter's tape with handwritten labels on bottles and containers, etc. The server did a great job and was very pleasant, but unfortunately the food was not good at all this time around. read more

The food was horrible.... The crab boil sauce was a can of gravy with sugar in it. They only put 4 small slices of sausage in the bag and the very few crabs were so salty I asked for a refund and was only told sorry. They tried to charge me 5 dollars for fresh lemonade the came out of the machine. My 13 year old son asked for a refund because he said it was nasty. While the service wasn't bad. They only refunded the lemonade. Never again read more

Went on a Thursday evening around 7pm and was able to be seated right away. The chef seemed to be giving away complimentary pork and shrimp egg rolls that night, which is very kind. He walked around to check on his guests as well. I got the vermicelli noodles with lemongrass tofu. The tofu was tasty and cooked well. It could have come with some more noodles. Mixed with everything (bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, etc), it was a light but tasty dish! It also comes with your choice of fish or soy sauce. For its size, it may be a little pricey read more

Saigon Hoa Pasteur - Vermicelli with lemongrass tofu - Vietnamese Near Me - Lakewood, California

Fresh but much smaller portions than standard. The meat was a little frosty but still tender and the broth tastes great. I understand no one is going to do it like where I grew up in Westminster/ "Little Saigon" but at least it was fresh. Still a good option, although We Love Pho II still proves the rule that the place with a number in the name is always the best pho place in town. Pho Daily is closer to me but should be avoided as they always serve slimy rotten toppings if you order to go and inconsistent portions on top of that. read more

We were delighted to discover a Vietnamese restaurant right next door. My wife and I visited it on Monday to check it out. The restaurant was still in its soft opening phase, and it had nine different tables grouped inside. There was also outdoor seating, but there was a sign indicating that customers needed to make a reservation first. The restaurant was clean and well-stocked with all the necessary condiments, including chili oil. The service was friendly and attentive. My wife ordered the vermicelli with lemon grass beef, and she thoroughly enjoyed her dish. I opted for the chicken pho with leg meat, and I found it to be quite delicious as well. Both pho broths and the lemongrass beef had a rich and flavorful taste. Will return to try out their beef pho. read more

This is such a cute place! You can tell that it's family run and everyone is super nice. We tried four different types of Pho. We loved that you can choose different meats. Everything was well seasoned and a great portion size! We really like the seafood Pho and the combination Pho! It was very flavorful, and they brought us extra basil. We have a very extensive menu so there's something for everyone. The eggrolls we also got were super crispy and we're great appetizer to share. We can't wait to go back soon. read more

Great pho and eggrolls in lakewood! Amazing deal and the best one in town. Hope more people will come to enjoy the food here.

I was shocked to see this restaurant charge for something as basic as water. We were charged for both "water with lemon" and even plain ice water. Charging customers for tap water and a few lemon slices feels unnecessarily greedy, especially when we had already ordered over $85 worth of food before tax and service charge. What made it worse is that it comes across as incredibly desperate. Charging for ice water and lemon water is not something you expect from a restaurant that values customer service. It feels like an attempt to squeeze every possible dollar out of customers, no matter how small the amount. The food was okay, but these extra charges left a bad impression and made me feel nickel-and-dimed. It's not about the money--it's about the principle. Most restaurants provide water as a basic courtesy. Seeing charges for ice water and lemon water on the bill made the experience feel more focused on collecting extra fees than providing good hospitality. To top it off, an 18% service charge was already added to the bill. Between the service charge and being charged for water, the overall experience felt disappointing and unwelcoming. Unfortunately, I won't be returning because of this practice. read more

It's a solid 4.5 for Vietnamese food, and this place is in its own lane as there aren't other Vietnamese restaurants until you drive over to Cerritos/Artesia. We went during a soft opening and we were the only folks although the place quickly filled up for dinnertime. They kept some of the cajun seafood items from the previous restaurant, which I really enjoyed, and they also offer a very good selection of Vietnamese food. We had the lemongrass beef vermicelli, grilled chicken vermicelli, egg rolls, garlic noodles, and iced coffee. I'd order everything again except for the garlic noodles, which was decent but not what is popular out there for garlic noodles. But the vermicelli and egg rolls were great and I appreciated how everything seemed to have extra attention with the preparation. The fish sauce was really good and had a nice sweetness to it, and the lemonrass beef and chicken were not dry and had lots of flavor. The egg rolls seemed double-fried with a nice crunchiness and meaty filling. I also appreciate that the server came by to check on us later after we got our food--it's surprising how fewer dine-in places do that, and it's a minimum expectation for me. Overall, looking forward to coming back to try the rest of their menu. read more

Quick service! Ordered a shrimp boil, pho and chicken wings. It's in the plaza across from BMO bank.

Of course, I read most of the one star reviews then I went to the five stars and read all of the elite yelpers reviews. That is why I am here. Very first thing greeted with smiles although the restaurant was nearly empty with just one table that had four customers. It was approximately 6 PM when we came in remember, this is New Year's Day. My daughter works for a Chinese restaurant so I know they never close and have big business on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. So I was happy to see that this restaurant was open. Within minutes, nearly every table was full. I have been watching this gaming chef on Facebook. She's Vietnamese and married to a Korean so the food that she makes is always beautiful and hot and looks delicious and I've been in search of the perfect Pho. Our server, his name is Long. He was so informative and welcoming and sweet. I thought he was the owner son however he says he's a new server just a few months here. He's gonna go a long way! The music was beautiful. It's all in Vietnamese, but you can almost understand it just by the tones and the cadence of the music. The facility is clean and nothing is sticky on the tables plenty of room in the best part for me is it's close by my house. read more
