Golden Delight #1

4.7 starsDecided to finally try this restaurant and I was impressed. The interior and utensils were clean. The servers were really nice, but, like a lot of Viet/Chinese establishments, they need to be flagged down to order. And after serving your food, they leave you alone. That is the norm I'm used to and ok with.Other than that, these were the dishes I ordered:Eggrolls ($12.99): comes in 6 pieces. Tasted ok, but it isn't the best eggrolls I've ever had. 3.5/5 starsHot stone pho ($15.49): I think they charge less if you're ok skipping the hot stone bowl. But, I wanted to try the pho with it...and I feel like it didn't make a huge difference. The broth was PERFECTION (and not too salty). The steak was nice and tender. The noodles were wonderfully soft and chewy. I daresay it is one of the best pho broths in the SGV. The noodle portion could be a little more, but otherwise, no complaints here. 4.5/5 starsBanh Canh Cua ($16.99): This had to be my favorite dish. Not only is it rare to see it on the menu in most Vietnamese restaurants, it is also rare to see it well-made & tasty. But this one...is tasty. It has a nice, silky and complex crabby/shrimpy/porky soup base and the banh canh (Viet Udon) is a soft chew. Out of all the Banh Canh Cuas I've had in LA and Orange county, this is the clear winner to me. Toppings include pig trotter, pig blood, pork belly, shredded crab meat, shrimp, cha (ground steamed pork), quail egg, cilantro, and fried shallots. My only complaint is the pig trotter being too tough for me though. 4.7/5 starsIf you can only order one dish, I highly recommend the Banh Canh Cua (aka Crab Udon). I will definitely come back.

My boyfriend and I dined here for Valentine's Day. We arrived around 5:15 PM on Friday, no wait whatsoever, which is not common for restaurants on a Friday evening. We sat down right away, ordered, and omg, the food came out in like 3 minutes!! Seriously I was shocked with the efficiency. The food was hot too.As for the meal itself, we ordered the Walnut Shrimp, and two bowls of brisket Pho (one fatty for him and one not fatty for me). It was delicious! I have never been a fan of walnut shrimp because I always found it to be very soggy whenever I ordered it in the past, but it was nice and crispy here with an amazing sweet flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed the Pho as well. While I'm not a fan of fat on meat (which might be an unpopular opinion) and there was a decent amount of fat on my brisket, I wasn't bothered at all because the entire soup was just too good. The broth was so tasty I almost filled myself off of it alone! The noodles were cooked perfectly, the veggies in the soup were crunchy and fresh, and the meat itself, like I said before, did have some fat but was still tender and enjoyable. There are also some spices to add to your meal that are at the side of the table and these were sooooo good too. Very spicy.The service is sweet, very quiet and calm place. I felt a little nervous even because I tend to laugh very loud, and I didn't want to disturb the peaceful environment, but there is no judgement or rudeness from the staff at all. They are so quick and smooth that I laughed with my boyfriend and told him, I'm sure if I just looked at them the right way they would know what I wanted to order. Maybe the experience would be different if we got there at a busier time, but they left such a nice impression that I'm looking at my calendar for the date I can come again. 10/10 :)

What We Ordered:-Ice Coffee $5-Golden Delight Pho $15.50-Vermicelli w/pork ribs, pork balls $14.50It has good reviews online! We figured why not give it a try! It wasn't the best pho, but it wasn't the worst. I got the Golden Delight Pho in the stone bowl which was pretty cool btw. The wife got some dish that sounded good on the menu, but she felt like the meat quality was not so good. It was bit on the rubber-y side. The coffee was not bad as well. I'm not sure we would come back as we are still looking for other pho options out here in the SGV area. We like the Golden Deli the best so far!

Been hearing great reviews about this place and thought I should give it a try. I ordered the pork and egg roll vermicelli noodles to go and was very underwhelmed by the lack of flavors in this dish. The noodles were also underdone which contributed to the lackluster of the dish.This restaurant did not live up to the hype, but it could be because this is not one of their top dishes.

My family used to go to golden deli for pho but with the price increases, we ventured out to golden delight and was pleasantly surprised with the good food and service here. The golden delight pho is solid and comes in a hot stone bowl that helps keep your broth warm much longer than regular bowls. Generous amount of noodles and meat and the bean sprouts and herbs were fresh. We also tried the vermicelli w grilled pork and eggrolls (bun thit nuong cha gio) and it was good as well. The eggrolls are nice and crispy and pair well with the grilled pork and veggies and herbs. Parking: small lot in the back with some spots underground. Would be difficult during busy hours. Theres also street parking but dont leave valuable items in the car since that area can get sketchy

From the moment I stepped into Golden Delight for my Yelp Elite experience, I was warmly greeted and promptly seated. The exceptional service and attention to detail made me feel like a truly valued guest. The staff, including the two courteous female employees and the incredibly helpful male employee, Long, ensured a seamless dining experience. They frequently checked in to see if we needed anything and even assisted me with moving the hot stone plate for the pho.I ordered the Beef Short Rib Pho, which was an absolute delight! The dish featured two generous portions of tender short ribs, flavorful meatballs, and a hearty serving of pho noodles, complemented by fresh bean sprouts, lemon, and fragrant herbs. The broth was rich, savory, and clearly the result of meticulous preparation--it had a depth of flavor that was both comforting and satisfying. The onions were perfectly distributed throughout the bowl, adding a subtle sweetness. One serving is easily enough to feed one or two people.The ambiance was equally impressive, with soft, soothing Vietnamese music playing in the background and a lively yet welcoming atmosphere. It's no surprise that Golden Delight has earned its spot on Yelp's Top 100 Places to Visit for 2025. This was, without a doubt, the best pho I've ever tasted, and I can't wait to return.Pro Tip: They accept Apple Pay, and there's free parking available for up to two hours!

This restaurant is known for their hot stone pho but their hainan chicken rice caught my attention. For $15.99, it was delicious, juicy and flavorful, I throughly enjoyed this dish. They provide three types of sauce you can dip your chicken into and my favorite one is their sweet soy sauce. It also comes with their chicken soup and I really liked that too. Service was quick and efficient. No complaints from me.

Thanks Yelp & TD for another fun event. My boyfriend and I tried this spot on a Saturday afternoon. We were pretty intimidated by the line that we saw outside of the restaurant but I quickly hopped out of the car to put my name down on the waiting list. FYI, you will need to put your name down on the clipboard outside of the restaurant to wait in queue. They don't have the Yelp waitlist online, just in case you were wondering. We waited about 15-20 minutes in line. I ordered the stone bowl pho dac biet. Really good broth, not super rich on flavor. Just the way I like it. Everything tasted delicious. My cup was always refilled due to the staff being attentive & checking up on you. Ambiance was nice. Enough seats to accommodate big parties. Definitely will be back!

REALLY LIVES UP TO ITS NAMEVery delightful and yummy dishes and delightful cozy environment.Ordered the beef short rib pho in the hot stone and the rice vermicelli with beef and eggs rolls. Both hit the spot! The pho broth was seasoned so well and the beef fell easily off the bone. I think it's one of the best pho in 626. Loved that the pot kept the pho steaming throughout dinner. This is coming from an OC native too. Careful of burning your tongueAs for the vermicelli bowl, the eggrolls were crispy and the fish sauce was well made! Thank you! Will be coming back.

Came for dinner and had egg rolls, bun bo hue and House special tomato soup (Canh Bun). My favorite is the canh bun. It's similar to bun rieu but served with ong choy rather than cabbage. Very flavorful. I originally wanted the fermented fish noodles but they don't serve it on weekdays. But I guessed I lucked out cause I got to try the canh bun. My newest favorite!! Will be back for it again!! It's located in the 888 plaza with plenty of parking. Service was good. They were attentive and served us water. The interior was remodeled with tons of chandeliers.
