Thien Huong Restaurant - Los Angeles, California

Anish Thakkar (Doc Thakkar)

Excellent experience at Thien Hoang, a longstanding family-run Viet restaurant in the heart of Chinatown.

Expansive menu with plenty of excellent options, for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. I really appreciated how well-cooked the pork chop was! Attentive service. This place is cool with credit cards / splitting checks as well. Line can be long but it’s worth the wait!

On Fire For Truth

First timer here and was so impressed by the flavor, prices, quality, and service from employees. We underestimated the size of this place and a party of 6 felt too big for their location. But, they made so much space for us by combining two tables. It felt like I was transported to someone's house and was visiting my grandma (even though im not Vietnamese lol). My favorite were the pho and stiry fry noodles with gravy. I am definitely coming back. Thank you for your hospitality.

The Pho here was absolutely amazing. The large bowl was the biggest bowl of Pho I've seen, with a lot of broth.
I ordered the #1 Pho Dac Biet with just cilantro. Instead of beef broth, I asked for chicken broth. The chicken broth was delicious. All the beef's flavor comes out with the chicken flavored broth.
The tendon was the best tendon I have ever had, chewy and big. The tripe was my favorite.
I used the 2 limes it came with and they were ripe limes, with a lot of juice. I cut up one sliced jalapeno and it was a hot one. It gave my pho the perfect amount of spice to it. All together this was the best Pho that I've had in California. The next time I travel to Los Angeles I will be stopping by this amazing restaurant for the same Pho.

Wow such a delicious Vietnamese restaurant!!

We found street parking ($5) but I believe there is a lot nearby which is $5 for all day.

We ordered the
-Vietnamese coffee (tasty and less ice so I appreciated that a lot)
-Pho (so good and not a lot of MSG and clean broth)
-Chicken banh mi (delicious and fresh)
-Vermicelli noodles with carrots, cucumbers, and other delicious toppings! So filling and healthy!

The lady is very nice and we enjoyed our meal immensely!

Amazing Bun Bo Hue with good portions. I bought 3 banh mi to go and they were all very good.

Traveling from out of town and found this place with a line. Gave it a try and I must say is decent pho. NoVA still got the top pho imo but this was good as well. Also got the summer roll as well. The soup base was not heavy but I usually like it with a bit more flavor.

Solid 4 stars and they ran out of banh mi which I wanted to try.

Best spot to eat near Union Station. The friendliest staff with the most delicious food at a really good price. Would recommend anytime.

Delicious Vietnamese restaurant located in a somewhat large plaza of Chinatown on Broadway Ave. There are only 6 tables inside and 3 tables outside. It’s always packed and there is a queue for patrons seeking mouthwatering food. We ordered the bun and tofu cuon and let me tell you, I understand why there is a long wait for this tiny restaurant. Firstly the bun is perfectly al dente with amazing sauce. It’s just different from the standard bun bowls you would get at the plethora of Vietnamese restaurants in this town. The toppings are also expertly seasoned with a balanced spread of bun, shredded veggies, and protein. I’ve had my fair share of bun bowls in my life and this one was just yummy in my tummy!
