Saigon Beach

For post Xmas day trip decided to visit Laguna Beach with my daughter. Strolled in the beach very lovely and decided to eat Vietnamese. Check out Yelp and this place has a great review. We walked for a mile to reach this place and it's worthy. The restaurant was very casual. You order and pay and choose your own table . We sat outside and inhale ocean breeze. The outside patio was a little outdated. The dishes were delicious.Naman fried chicken wings with sweet and savory sauce were marinated well. You can taste it even up to the bone.The spring roll with shrimp and avocado were fresh and shrimp was big. The sauce made it so good. The pork belly lollipops were bomb. It was so crispy yet not too oily nor fat. The sauce and crispy onion added the final touches to your palate. The curry tofu was ok. It has a lot of root vegetables that we enjoyed.The papaya salad was good also just needs acidity and a little kick of spiciness. Overall the food experience was mouthwatering . Be back for sure.

When I was looking for a Vietnamese restaurant to meet up in Laguna beach, I came across this gem! It's a cozy, homey spot with a great atmosphere for dining. We ordered fried egg rolls, crispy wontons, a pork banh mi, a pork vermicelli bowl, pho (traditional soup), chicken curry, passionfruit mango limeade, and Thai iced tea. The food was absolutely delicious, I especially loved the appetizers!The server, who was the only one working that day, was like Wonder Woman! She was friendly, easy to talk to, and super nice. It was the perfect combination of good food, great service, and a lovely place to try.

Actually really good food. I went solo, which is a rarity, and ordered a couple things that the cashier recommended. I got the Vietmanese Coffe/Thai tea combo, and it was really good. I also got the grilled pork bahn mi and the fried egg rolls. It was all good. The eggrolls were nice and crispy with a good tangy sauce and the bahn mi's grilled pork was really flavorful. Over all pretty nice/generic looking place that does the job. Definitely would make a good take out joint also.

YUM!!! we came here under my friends recommendation. She loves this place.And for good reason, it's very popular with the locals. It's so good. We had one of the rice wraps and the 420 green rice with chicken. So good.This is a cute little place on the corner off of PCH. They've got a large outdoor area a nice indoor area with lots of tables very dog friendly and you can find plenty of parking on the street either up the hill or on PCH.

Cute casual spot for Vietnamese food in Laguna Beach! It's fast casual, so you place your order at the counter and they'll bring your food to your table.The day we visited, the kitchen was slammed. They may have been down a person in the kitchen because everyone seemed to be waiting for their orders. Luckily, we were in no rush and the other customers didn't seem bothered either. After at least 30 minutes later, we got our food, and the dishes came flying out of the kitchen to the other tables that came after us, so I guess we just got unlucky with our timing. I got the grilled pork banh mi, which was good. It had a lot of pork. It was a little light on jalapeños and cilantro, which was fine by me because I prefer a light touch with those ingredients. The husband and wife that run Saigon Beach are very sweet. The husband apologized for the delay when he brought the food. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. They also have daily specials which sound delicious!

This is basically a takeout restaurant and the food is supposedly authentic Vietnamese so we'll see about that!The kids who work here are very nice and helpful and know about gluten-free and they have a lot of interesting gluten-free items on their menu! I ordered the pho noodle soup with tofu, tofu, mushrooms, and a veggie broth. I also ordered the pork belly lollipops for the boyfriend I'll let you know how it is later after I bring it home and devour it

Wanted to grab a bite to eat after a hike in Laguna Beach and saw this place and knew it was going to be so good! The banh mi had amazing flavor as well as the pork egg rolls, which came with a delicious sauce. I would say the banh mi is a bit smaller than usual ones that i've had. The thai tea was also delicious but somewhat of a small serving for the price. There was plenty of seating inside the restaurant as well as a patio in the front with some tables. It's also steps from the beach so that is a huge plus! The employees were friendly. I would definitely come back.

My absolute favorite Viet spot! I would eat here every single day if I could. The staff is polite and attentive, bathrooms and dining area are always clean, and the food never disappoints. Tonight we had the vermicelli plate, nam nam wings, shaky beef w/ garlic noodles, and shrimp avocado spring rolls. And of course as always their Thai tea. Probably my favorite Thai tea, perfect ratios, not too sweet.

This is a cute little spot along the beach with a great menu. They have pho and spicy lemongrass broth- we got both! We also ordered some yummy appetizers, a little pricey but super flavorful and savory. The cashier had some great recommendations and a great attitude.

great spot!! i shared the chicken pho, brisket pho dip, and the pork egg rolls!! everything was amazing and it was super affordable!! the brisket pho dip was to die for!!!
