Golden Deli San Gabriel

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 😋😍

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.

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.
