I had ordered for pick up on the weekend. Total of 4 dishes. I have asked them NOT to put peanuts on top of the rice, due to nut allergies. I am aware of the peanuts inside the ingredients (meat). But my son wanted rice so I was going to share rice with him. I wasn’t able to share with him. Very disappointed. The food quality isn’t the best… the meat didn’t taste fresh, more so frozen. My husband had the Hu tieu. That’s what they’re known for, and has gone there before excessively when he lived in SGV.
I ordered the Pork Chop and Grilled Pork with broken rice. It was everything I wanted from a rice dish. The pork chops were tender and fatty and the grilled pork was delicious too. I really love the atmosphere of the restaurant and the servers there were locked in. They were fast but they still made sure that I have a great experience. I'd highly recommend Golden Deli San Gabriel.
소문난 집이라 대기하는 사람들이 많았지만, 익숙해서인지 테이블 회전과 주문이 빨리 이루어졌다.
첨이라 웨이츄레스가 권하는 월남국수 콤보와 스프링롤을 시켰는데 내가 좋아하는 것들은 아니었고, 맛도 별로였다.
단지 채소들은 상당히 다른 월남국수 집들에 비해 아주 깨끗하고 신선했다.
한가지 놀란거는 슬라이스 양파를 달라고 하였는데, 말도 없이 계산에 추가한 것 ㅎ. 다른 식당에서는 월남국수에 양파를 따로 챠지하지 않기에...

★★★★★So so so good, would definitely come back and try the pho and other dishes 🙏 so worth the price. I didn't love the shrimp roll because of the pork flavor, but the regular pork sandwich is delicioussss 😋😍
We usually stick to our pho spot in ktown, but it was closed today so when we googled another pho restaurant, we decided on golden deli because of the pictures. The food looked absolutely amazing so we gave it a chance and it didn't disappoint at all!! We ordered the brisket pho and the vermicelli plate with beef and shrimp rolls as an appetizer and everything was delicious. The broth was hot and full of flavor, the beef was tender and best of all the service was impeccable. They sat us very quickly took our order and they were helpful with navigating the menu. Its a nice packed menu! We got fresh water refilled and we were attended to diligently even with a packed house. The restaurant is welcoming and everyone was friendly. Im not Vietnamese but living in L.A. my entire life I've been to my fair share of Vietnamese restaurants so i feel like I know whats good Vietnamese food. I definitely recommend this place!!
I have been coming to Golden Deli for at least 10 years. In that time I’ve forgotten that they are closed on Wednesdays a couple times. On those Wednesdays I was sad. But that’s as close as I can come to saying anything resembling a comment that is less than a 100% resounding endorsement. Simply put, Golden Deli is the kind of place that reminds you over and over again that good, simple food prepared perfectly and served by a staff that is always on point is what dining out is all about . Golden Deli isn’t fancy and it doesn’t try to be. The push the tables together into long rows to maximize the amount of people who can dine in, and they’re unafraid to push bus carts through the dining room to maximize efficiency. But the staff is always on top of the game, never falling behind even when (as is often the case) there are 20-30 people waiting outside.
The menu offers a great many items which you can order confidently and any of them will be good. But as any number of others will confirm, the pho and the Phan Cha Gio are the absolute stand out stars. Both are ordered so frequently that they are made to perfection and also with amazing speed. Order the pho and don’t be surprised if it’s at your table in just a minute or two. And the Phan Cha Gio won’t be far behind, it’s being made constantly so it’s always freshly made.
Pro tip: order a Bahn mi to go, they are deconstructed to go, and are even better the next day.
My girlfriend loves this place, especially the eggrolls. She’s quite picky with pho, too, so this hits the spot for her.
The pho broth is great. Doesn’t taste bland, sweet, or like it has too much msg. They also had chili oil!! I am one of those who loves chili oil in my pho, so this got me super excited. Only problem was that it wasn’t really tasty. Just simply tasted like chili and oil, no aromatics or additional flavor. The eggrolls were extremely delicious with such a crispy/crunchy texture. I’d say one of the best I’ve had at a restaurant for sure! Although, I still don’t know if I can agree on the price at $15.50. I’d assume it is due to the difficulty of preparing and the complimentary herbs/lettuce, but each to their own on that opinion.
Service was extremely quick and food came out extremely fast for the two bowls of pho and eggrolls. Water was always topped off before I get a chance to notice and I drink a lot of water. Definitely a 10/10 on that, too!
We will be back when we’re in the area again! Thank you :)
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around. Be ready for a wait if you are going on Saturday for lunch, the space is limited and it gets packed. It is worth the wait though, the food is delicious and authentic. The number 44 Bun Chao Tom comes with their signature egg rolls that deserve the praise. Staff are friendly and helpful and food come quickly.
