Chopstix Vietnamese Restaurant
1244 Munras Ave, Monterey, CA 93940, United States
You only fail when you stop trying to find a good food. I was in the mood for a Vietnamese cuisine in the Monterey area and with Siri’s help, she directed me to Chopstix. Chopstix is an asian fusion Vietnamese restaurant that offer a wide variety of Pho, noodle soups, rice bowls and boba drinks. Bingo! It’s located in the corner of Munrasa and Robles aves by the 1 PCH fwy in Monterey. We arrived today to grab a late lunch and one of the staff gave a perfunctory greeting. We sat the middle of the restaurant near the 50 inch tele. Indoor dine in was spacious, neat and odor free. We perused their menu and was flabbergasted by their wide spread food/boba list. We ordered pho’s, shrimp rolls and boba teas. I asked for spoon and fork since Im not skilled enough to use chopstick. Lol. Hehehe. Their food were great and very flavorful. Similarly, the boba teas and slush and boba pearl were taste good. I enjoyed it! Service was on point. Serving was slightly above average. Prices were reasonable. Rear parking lot was available. Overall, we had a good food experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Pho Morgan Hill
16965 Monterey Hwy #102B, Morgan Hill, CA 95037, United States
Im a SJ resident, my attitude towards Vietnamese food is very hostile. I have the tendency to judge everything I eat when Im pleased with tasty and cheap meals to anything thats unpleasant in my tummy. Sadly, I commute to Morgan Hill for work. Doesnt offer much around this residing city when it comes down to variety of food. However, I found out theres a restaurant that offers Vietnamese food! My heart fluttered when I wanted to give this place a try after a lot of my fellow Vietnamese coworkers tell me that this location is the ONLY place that serves great tasting Vietnamese food around the area. How unfortunate that many people arent familiar with the different tastes of Asian food around there.Typically, Pho (soup), Bun (Vermicelli dishes), etc. are always served in a Vietnamese restaurant. However, most places around SJ have restaurants serving food in separation by Bánh cun (rice noodle roll filled with seasoned ground pork, minced wood ear mushroom, and minced shallots), Bánh mì (different kinds of bread more specifically, sandwiches including meat, soy fillings of pork belly, sausage, grilled pork with pork liver pâté, cucumber, etc.), or Bò 7 món (literally seven courses of beef, a selection of beef Vietnamese dishes), etc. This restaurant however has a little bit of everything!Ive enjoyed their Pho (mainly their combination soup that has brisket, tendons, flank, meatballs, etc.), Bo Luc Lac (shaking beef which is cubed beef with onions and bell peppers) served with steamed white rice and small bowl of soup (clear broth), Banh Mi (grilled chicken sandwich), Bun Bo Hue (spicy soup served with beef, fatty beef, pork blood, etc.), and something new off their menu, Mi Quang (rice noodles served with seasoned pork chop or chicken, quail eggs, shrimp, peanuts, ch (Vietnamese steamed pork sausage), chili pepper, fresh vegetables and pieces of crispy bánh tráng (crispy version of rice paper). All that Ive mentioned are some things that I love to order each time Ive eaten here!Im an avid customer, in which, the owners are always sweet and courteous all the time. Lunch time can be very busy, but dont quickly judge by their service. They talk to their customers especially those who are regulars, like myself, and remember your usual order! I love that about a restaurant, when the owners remember you!! Best part, they dont have MSG in their food, they accept debit and credit cards (most of SJVietnamese restaurants are CASH ONLY), and FREE Wi-Fi unlike any other SJ restaurants that NEVER give their customers FREE Wi-Fi!Convenient that theyre nearby my workplace. Off the beaten road of Monterey Road heading towards Socal, its tucked away in a small plaza. If you happen to have GPS, its not hard to find. Theres room outside in their patio area if you want to enjoy a nice lunch during a sunny day!Overall, I have no complaints! Ill keep coming back as long as they continue with their patronage and delicious food!
Nha Trang Restaurant
742 E Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91755, United States
Our favourite place for Vietnamese food in Monterey Park, family run. Their Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu are delicious and really huge portions. The bean sprouts and Thai basil are always fresh and clean. Both the fresh spring rolls and fried spring rolls are some of the best weve ever had. We often get take out and the portions are the most generous of any other Vietnamese restaurant weve been to in LA. There is street parking or a small lot in the back.
Pho Ga Bac Ninh

My wife grew up in Vietnam and we have tried probably 60 Vietnamese restaurants in southern California. She insists we go here.
Kim Tar Seafood Restaurant
964 E Garvey Ave, Monterey Park, CA 91755, United States
The service was very poor ? Especially one of the older waiters. We have been here four times and unfortunately he served us twice. One of the times my husband asked him about L1 Hot and Sour Fish Soup (Thai/Vietnamese) What is the difference between Thai taste and Vietnamese taste? He said impatiently What do you want, be careful with your order without answering our questions. My husband has a good temper and doesnt care about his attitude.The fourth time we went, unfortunately, he served us again. Our ordering speed was not slow, and he was very impatient within these two minutes. When it was time to check out, I waved to him and said, Please pay, but he didnt respond at all, as if he didnt hear me. Five seconds later, he walked towards us, and I asked him, Please pay, but he still didnt make a response, I said it again and he was very impatient, I know, I know, let me see if there is anything that needs to be packed. Then he took our rice bowl away without asking. Later, my childs grandmother was about to feed the child another bite of rice, then she realized that there was no more rice. Whenever I talked to him, or asked questions. He yelled at us for no reason, which made me feel really angry. My husband told me that he may be in depression. Em, I don’t think this is a reason that he should be rude. Ps. I saw he was rude to others too. I think I will never be back to this restaurant again!
M Noodle & Cafe

The noodle soup and beef pho are all delicious, the soup is rich and the portion is generous. It is a delicious Vietnamese restaurant worth recommending!
Pho Bowl
5316 Monterey Hwy, San Jose, CA 95111, United States
I'm very disgusted at my recent experience here. Last night I took some friends to Pho Bowl for the first time because I enjoyed my first time here a couple weeks ago. However, after finishing most of my pho I saw a cockroach floating in my bowl. I called over the waitress/owner and she tried denying it right away and claiming that it was an onion/charred oil. Everyone was grossed out and in disbelief. If I didn't take a careful look inside my bowl, I could have consumed the cockroach with its antennas and legs. She kept saying it's not a cockroach and even brought out a bowl of oil with black spots in it and said “see? it's the same thing”. Ultimately, she still comped my bowl but putting on a show to not own up to the fact that you served me cockroach soup proves that you have no morals or integrity in running this business.
