Golden Delight

This restaurant is known for its quality and service. Dine-in is always perfect, pho in the hot stone pot keeps the broth hot until the end, flavorful without a strong MSG taste, and portions are big. Their hủ tiếu trộn sauce is also really good. Takeout, however, isn’t as great (quality drops a bit, though packaging is always neat). Make sure to reserve a table on Yelp to avoid long waits.

Was out and about in the San Gabriel Valley today. Stopped by this restaurant called Golden Delight. It’s a Vietnamese place that also makes Chinese food so they have two menus that you can order from. We ordered mostly Vietnamese. Two different kinds of Pho and some Vietnamese egg rolls, which on the inside have meat and rice noodles, etc. You wrap the egg rolls inside lettuce with mint leaves, cucumber, sweet radish, etc. and then dip into a slightly spicy/sweet sauce. It’s heavenly when it comes to the flavor and healthy because of all the veggies, which I do love about Vietnamese food; all the veggies and spices. It’s currently my favorite kind of food. Disappointed in that Golden Delight only gave us one tiny bowl to share with the dipping sauce. That bowl looked like it was meant for a really small child. I overheard the people in the booth next to us ask for additional lettuce because they were three people and their six egg rolls came with three pieces of lettuce. The waiter told them “umm, if you want more lettuce we have to charge more.” He said it was about two dollars per piece of lettuce. 🤣 I was afraid to ask for another tiny half filled bowl of dipping sauce. I also got from the menu what is called crab claws, which sound better than it actually was, especially when you factor in the price. The food was great but they were very stingy on certain things and charged too much on any kind of extras. Those crab claws were $8 a piece. I would say they were only worth a $1.50 for two because the meat inside was imitation and only the claw was real. 😂 Without the crabs, the meal was excellent but not worth the price. When we went to Vietnam earlier this year, if we paid $90 for a meal, it would’ve been three times the amount of food you see in the pictures and enough to feed six or more. And asking for anything extra was gladly provided for free. Again, the food was good but I can’t say I’ll be in a hurry to return. My wife thought the overall look of the restaurant was really nice. She almost got stuck in the bathroom. Some issues with the door 🤣 but overall it was cool. I can’t give it five stars. They should be more forgiving on the little things like requests for more lettuce. If someone buys six egg rolls then it shouldn’t be a stretch to give them six pieces of lettuce? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Viet? Chinese? Get you a (wo)man that can do both. I loved this place, decently attentive service but emphasis on the food over everything else. Let the food speak, and it did: -Kung Pao Beef - wonderfully velveted, delightfully soft with excellent spices / peanuts. Best dish. -Hainan Chicken Rice - $1.50 extra for dark meat, my friend thoroughly enjoyed it. -Viet bun thit nuong - classic. The eggrolls were way better than the grilled pork, but the vermicelli and sides were delicious. Reasonably priced, easy parking, and will come back to try more!

Food is either too salty or bland. Not authentic viet. Stone bowl pho is 3 stars at best. Decent decor and service though. But for a restaurant the most important factor is the food.

Found Golden Delight while on the hunt for Hainan Chicken in the Rosemead area, and it seemed to be the only spot offering it. Definitely a plus when you've got a specific craving! The dish itself looked appetizing, and the taste was pretty decent – good enough to satisfy. The chicken was tender and the rice was fragrant. Food: The Hainan Chicken hit the spot. Not mind-blowing, but a solid "good enough." Ambiance: The restaurant itself looks nice and clean. Service: Staff could have been a bit more welcoming and attentive. A little more warmth would go a long way. If you're in the area and specifically want Hainan Chicken, Golden Delight is a reasonable option. It gets the job done. Could be a 4-star experience with friendlier service.

We went on Sunday for dinner, there was no wait at all. This Vietnamese restaurant has a lot of Chinese food besides the pho noodles. The pho noodles had a good flavor and we took the leftover soup home. The fish fillets was very yummy. The chicken was a bit bland, but the rice made up for the dish. The rice was flavorful cooked with chicken broth. We will come back again to try other dishes.

A pho place pops up when searching in San Gabriel Valley. We tried the signature egg noodle soup with flat rice noodles and flat egg noodle and tomato crab meat noodle soup. The noodles are average and the soup is light. Just a normal noodle soup place in the area nothing special. Not sure the reason for the long line.

This restaurant offers both a Vietnamese & Chinese menu. Lots of options to choose from. Vietnamese kitchen does close at 7:30pm. The restaurant was packed when we got there but the wait time was not too bad. We can see why they were packed. Everything tasted great, except for the eggrolls. Our group didn’t care for it. We will definitely be back when we are in town.

Second time coming back to Golden Delight & this time was just as good as the previous time, if not even better. Parking here is free but the underground lot is not very spacious and is often filled to the brim. If not the underground lot, I recommend street parking as it's also free in this area. This time around, I took my lovely wife here for dinner & since we we're quite literally craving some delicious food. We waited around 10 minutes as the restaurant was pretty busy, pretty quick for a party of two. Service was pretty decent as we were seated, accommodated to, and ordered within around 5 minutes. We ordered 4 menu items and that didn't take long to come out as well, very fast service. 1. Imperial Rolls (Egg Rolls) - (6pcs) This is by far the most amazing egg rolls I've ever eaten. Super crispy, crunchy, and it's great that it comes with cucumbers, lettuce to wrap the egg rolls for a "healthier" taste. Super delicious and very well cooked. Fish sauce is also provided for some extra kick of flavor. In my books, this is a must try dish when coming to Golden Delight. 2. Hanoi Style Egg Noodle Soup I asked for thin cut styled noodles for this dish and when it came out, there's a lot of toppings, very soupy, and the noodles are very high quality. Not sure what disclosed the scent but the broth had that comfort, rich feeling. In my opinion, it's the perfect comfort food for any type of day. 3. Ground Shrimp & Minced Crab Meat in Tomato Soup (Bun Rieu) - My wife ordered this dish and it was also filled with toppings. Most notably, the pig blood curd which was a surprise in the dish. The tomato broth really brought out the hot pot style in the dish. Love the presentation for this dish, definitely on my try list the next time I visit. 4. Grilled Pork Rolls - (3pcs split into halves) - Similar to the egg rolls, this was also super delicious. Of course, a bit more dry than the egg rolls since there's no lettuce to wrap it, not needed of course. Filled with pork and a various style of ingredients, the pork rolls is very savory and chewy. Highly recommend as a substitute to the egg rolls if you prefer something that's more on the chewy and soft side. Overall, this is one of the best quality food places of all time, clean interior, a lot of classic decorations, fast service, it's literally a golden delight, will be back plenty in the future.

I have always wanted to try this place out, but the waiting line has always scared me away. To be fair, the wait wasn't too bad, we had 5 tables ahead of us and we only waited about 15 minutes. The staffs are all very fast paced and very friendly. The food served extremely fast, which probably helped with the waiting time. Overall, the food that we ordered was delicious. Nothing was a miss. Beef Brisket Stew (B kho): it will come with noodle, rice, or baguette. The beef is nicely seasoned and stewed. It is mostly savory and the meat is very tender. The portion is great for the price. Sweet & Vietnamese Hot and Sour Soup with Catfish: I'm not a soup person, but this is a must try dish. It's amazing. The sweet, sour, and hot perfectly balanced out. There's an interesting combination of tomatoes, fish, bean sprouts, pineapple, okra, eggplant, and fish. We ordered a small serving, but the portion is huge. Highly recommended. Shrimp with Garlic Sauce: Another amazing dish. The lots of shrimps and the size is pretty good for the price you pay for. There's bamboos, wooden ears, carrots, and snow peas which add a nice crunch and variety to the dish. Definitely worth a try. Ong choy w/ garlics: A veggie dish that can hardly go wrong. It's greatly made, but the other dishes are too outstanding and unique, so this made it seem average. BUT still a great option. I would definitely come back to try out more options. There are a lot more options here compared to #2. The parking lot is small and crowded, so may have to take come time to find a parking space. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. The restrooms do need some extra cleaning throughout the day.

I've been here many times but this is my first time getting to go! I cannot say how much I appreciate their packaging and care in providing the highest quality pho to go I have ever had. First of all, I called in to order and they were really friendly and helpful. Asked my basic information like name, order, and told me how long it would take to prepare. I ordered 2 pho đặc biệt and 1 oxtail pho. Parking is a bit tight underground but if you go someone they can just drop you off real quick right off Garvey on the residential street. There was a line outside but pickup was fast convenient and easy. There's also umbrellas and chairs on the patio which was nice for the people waiting outside. When I got home, I opened the plastic bag and everything was so nicely packaged. Soup, sauce, vegetables, and dry ingredients were separated. I'm the dry ingredients, cooked meat, raw meat, and noodles were separated in their own bags. Noodles were also not cooked yet! Just boil some water and you get the freshest to go pho noodles. If you can make instant noodles, you can make this haha. Then just assemble based on your liking. There was SOOOOO much meat that we were able to split it into 5 portions from 3 lol. The meat and all the ingredients were really high quality too. They are also very generous with the herbs and vegetables. Vegetables were super fresh and strong. So fresh my mom decided to plant the mint and basil stems again to grow more! Taste was great, just as you would have it dine in. They really put a lot of care and thought into creating the same experience at home. The packaging is excellent with very small details such as the lid has a safety mechanism so everything doesn't spill. Their utensil packaging was super nice. I didn't know I ordered at a fine dining establishment. Hell, not even high class restaurants package your to go orders this well. Exceeded my expectations. I will 100% come here again even if it is to go.

After going to #2, might as well check out #1. We were meeting with more family members and were able to get seated pretty quickly considering there were 6 of us. They do have umbrellas outside if you need to stand out there. The place opens at 9 so it's already crowded by the time we got there 2 hours later. We waited about 10 minutes. We ordered a variety of calamari, dried noodles with pork and vegetables with the dipping sauce. Very good ingredients. Their three ingredient dessert was too packed with not enough liquid. When we brought it home, had to dilute. My younger child thought their lemon iced tea was a bit too sweet for him and couldn't finish right away. Overall, worth trying out.

Pretty solid pho spot! On a Sunday around 11am we didnt wait too long and were seated quickly. Service is quick and attentive. We ordered the stone pot pho and a regular pho! We all agreed that it needed more noodles but we all appreciated the portion of meat. Instead of pho though I got the Bun Bo Hue and it was okay! I like that they give so much various meats but I found the broth to be a little too sweet for me, however it doesn't taste salty and it is more clean broth so I still enjoyed it! We also ordered a side of egg-rolls which we finished but we found them too peppery. The fish sauce also more on the sweeter side.

Came here for a Yelp Elite event and liked it so much I came back! Hoped to arrive before the lunch rush and was able to grab the last table before they started queuing. Service was super friendly and very efficient; menu has plenty of options, but sadly I was a party of 1 and could only order 2 items. Started with the fried tofu, but it was a little light on taste for me. They were perfectly fried though; crispy, slightly chewy, and hot and soft inside. Also a huge portion. Was planning on trying the pho, but it was warm out and I still ended up with the everything vermicelli; this was the best option for letting me eat some egg rolls too. This was still delish! The egg rolls were crisp and so good. Need to come back and try the other stuff!

A beloved neighborhood gem, Golden Delight masters the art of Vietnamese-Chinese cuisine with authentic flavors and comforting dishes. There's a reason diners gather in front as soon as it hits 6 p.m. on weekend evenings to wait for a table. Every dish my husband and I have tried here so far has been--well--delightful! The restaurant is best known for its stone bowl pho, which comes out sizzling hot and remains that way throughout your meal. If you're trying it for the first time, the Golden Delight pho comes with all the fixings like brisket, tripe, tendon, beef ball, and more and is sure to impress. But if you're not in the mood for pho, the Vietnamese crab udon, braised pork belly, and bun rieu are all excellent choices and come generously with plenty of toppings. Surprisingly, the restaurant doesn't feature that many appetizers on its menu but makes up for it in quality, judging from the delicious egg rolls we tried. Service has always been prompt; we're always in and out of there pretty quickly because the waiters are attentive and quick to tend to any needs. The prices are reasonable, so if you're craving something delicious with a casual, unpretentious, but bustling vibe, you'll find it here at Golden Delight!

Back again, same great taste, same great service! For some reason, there's wasn't any wait on a Saturday evening at 7pm, but by the time I left at 8pm, I saw at least 10 people waiting outside, even though the sign outside indicates they close at 7:30pm daily.

I went here afternoon time. Food was great, service was good but the server kept trying to speak to my mom in English and she spoke Chinese and it was weird because I couldn't understand him either. But other than that weird encounter which I thought was funny. We got the seafood noodle bowl and another noodle I believe was vermicelli noodles with beef. The inside of the place is clean and very modern. But I do have to say parking here is always the worst though as there is limited street parking and the parking lot in the back is small.

This has been my go to spot to take my parents when they are in the mood for Vietnamese food. Golden delight has two locations but this is the OG spot. Parking can be hard during busy time since its only street parking and a small parking lot right behind the restaurant. Golden Delight offers two type of menu, you can pick from Vietnamese or Chinese dishes. I tend to lend more to the Vietnamese menu. My mom loves the fermented fish vermicelli soup called bun mam. Its a smelly dish but its really good. its hard to find a restaurant who makes this. This dish is only offer on the weekday. All their soup dishes have been a plus for me. I enjoy their pho in the stone bowl which keeps my pho piping hot to my last spoonful. Service is good. Overall, a great place if you're craving for some soupy Vietnamese food.

The food here is honestly delicious, and I've come back several times just for the taste. Unfortunately, the service has been disappointing. Every time I visit, it's always the same male staff member taking my order, and his attitude and expression make me feel like he's my boss rather than someone in customer service. He tends to be cold, very few words, and often tilts his head up when speaking to customers, which feels dismissive. What bothered me the most was when he even showed attitude toward my mom just because she ordered a bit quickly. That moment left me uncomfortable and honestly a bit haunted. F&B is a service industry -- no matter how good the food is, poor customer service will overshadow it. I truly hope the restaurant can address this issue, because the food deserves to be matched with professional and friendly service

4.7 stars Decided to finally try this restaurant and I was impressed. The interior and utensils were clean. The servers were really nice, but, like a lot of Viet/Chinese establishments, they need to be flagged down to order. And after serving your food, they leave you alone. That is the norm I'm used to and ok with. Other than that, these were the dishes I ordered: Eggrolls ($12.99): comes in 6 pieces. Tasted ok, but it isn't the best eggrolls I've ever had. 3.5/5 stars Hot stone pho ($15.49): I think they charge less if you're ok skipping the hot stone bowl. But, I wanted to try the pho with it...and I feel like it didn't make a huge difference. The broth was PERFECTION (and not too salty). The steak was nice and tender. The noodles were wonderfully soft and chewy. I daresay it is one of the best pho broths in the SGV. The noodle portion could be a little more, but otherwise, no complaints here. 4.5/5 stars Banh Canh Cua ($16.99): This had to be my favorite dish. Not only is it rare to see it on the menu in most Vietnamese restaurants, it is also rare to see it well-made & tasty. But this one...is tasty. It has a nice, silky and complex crabby/shrimpy/porky soup base and the banh canh (Viet Udon) is a soft chew. Out of all the Banh Canh Cuas I've had in LA and Orange county, this is the clear winner to me. Toppings include pig trotter, pig blood, pork belly, shredded crab meat, shrimp, cha (ground steamed pork), quail egg, cilantro, and fried shallots. My only complaint is the pig trotter being too tough for me though. 4.7/5 stars If you can only order one dish, I highly recommend the Banh Canh Cua (aka Crab Udon). I will definitely come back.

The good thing is they have a underground parking garage, the bad news is you have to walk up that same driveway to get to the restaurant (not easy if you have mobility issues, we brought our auntie who had a disability placard). We must have arrived just before the lunch rush, and were seated almost promptly. Food was good, portions were generous for the price (as compared to the Bay Area). Would definitely come back and try more items, the rotating photos of dishes on the big screen looked tempting!

Been hearing great reviews about this place and thought I should give it a try. I ordered the pork and egg roll vermicelli noodles to go and was very underwhelmed by the lack of flavors in this dish. The noodles were also underdone which contributed to the lackluster of the dish. This restaurant did not live up to the hype, but it could be because this is not one of their top dishes.

What We Ordered: -Ice Coffee $5 -Golden Delight Pho $15.50 -Vermicelli w/pork ribs, pork balls $14.50 It has good reviews online! We figured why not give it a try! It wasn't the best pho, but it wasn't the worst. I got the Golden Delight Pho in the stone bowl which was pretty cool btw. The wife got some dish that sounded good on the menu, but she felt like the meat quality was not so good. It was bit on the rubber-y side. The coffee was not bad as well. I'm not sure we would come back as we are still looking for other pho options out here in the SGV area. We like the Golden Deli the best so far!

I came here for Mother's Day and only had to wait 5 minutes or so at 10 am. First off this is a beautiful restaurant. Seating is comfy and a bunch of artwork that makes this place look more modernized especially for a Vietnamese Spot. So interestingly enough they have two menus, a Vietnamese one and a Chinese one. We opted to order from the Vietnamese menu because I wanted to try the infamous stone bowl pho. I had the pho dac biet which came which an extraordinary 5 different type of meats and portion size was pretty generous. What's interesting is that the noodles come on the side so you can either dip it or dump it all at once. Stone bowl keeps the pho bowl hot longer which is great for cooking the raw meat that it came with. I won't say it's the best tasting pho I've had but I thought it was very good. The flavors are strong and the uniqueness is definitely something to check out. Some of the other dishes looked good as well so will definitely need to try that out next time around. Parking - It's okay, they have a small lot underground but it's quite limited. Street parking is okay as well, if anything you might need to park farther and walk.

I loved that the pho came in a stone pot. Kept the soup extra hot during the cold winter days. One extra star for that. The broth was not the most flavorful and it was on the lighter side but you can taste the herbs in it. Hainan chicken was tender. Loved the spicy sauce on the table. Great service too.

My family used to go to golden deli for pho but with the price increases, we ventured out to golden delight and was pleasantly surprised with the good food and service here. The golden delight pho is solid and comes in a hot stone bowl that helps keep your broth warm much longer than regular bowls. Generous amount of noodles and meat and the bean sprouts and herbs were fresh. We also tried the vermicelli w grilled pork and eggrolls (bun thit nuong cha gio) and it was good as well. The eggrolls are nice and crispy and pair well with the grilled pork and veggies and herbs. Parking: small lot in the back with some spots underground. Would be difficult during busy hours. Theres also street parking but dont leave valuable items in the car since that area can get sketchy

Came here on a Sunday for early dinner. Around 4pm to beat the dinner rush. Small parking lot in rear and street parking. Restaurant is nicely decorated and seems newly remodeled. We were briefly seated and drink order taken. Everything ordered was delicious,nicely presented and overall worth the value for portion size.

This restaurant is known for their hot stone pho but their hainan chicken rice caught my attention. For $15.99, it was delicious, juicy and flavorful, I throughly enjoyed this dish. They provide three types of sauce you can dip your chicken into and my favorite one is their sweet soy sauce. It also comes with their chicken soup and I really liked that too. Service was quick and efficient. No complaints from me.

Came for dinner and had egg rolls, bun bo hue and House special tomato soup (Canh Bun). My favorite is the canh bun. It's similar to bun rieu but served with ong choy rather than cabbage. Very flavorful. I originally wanted the fermented fish noodles but they don't serve it on weekdays. But I guessed I lucked out cause I got to try the canh bun. My newest favorite!! Will be back for it again!! It's located in the 888 plaza with plenty of parking. Service was good. They were attentive and served us water. The interior was remodeled with tons of chandeliers.

One of my favorite pho places to go to! The flavors are solid and the service is normally pretty fast. I went by recently to try their other dishes with friends and nothing we got was bad. Everything was simply just good. The string beans flavoring could have been better with more garlic, but the consistently was still good. The braised fish was tasty, but I'm always too lazy to want to deal with the bones! I wish they could make this fish with fish fillets instead of bone in fish. It does come with a side of pickled bean sprouts, which are delicious! The Vietnamese style soup with fish is literally THE BEST thing to get! I loved the taste. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out! It's basically like tom yum but tastier haha The French style beef here is also quite good. Nice and soft with good flavors. Also, they were nice to keep our cake in the fridge for us and to give us some cake plates to cut the cake after dinner. I love that. The restaurant is always bustling with people and for good reason. It's a great place to host friend and family gatherings. I'll definitely be back again!

Pho was ok. I would order the Bbh again. The goi cuon coin was too this and made the dish dry. Cha gio was pretty good.

Thanks Yelp & TD for another fun event. My boyfriend and I tried this spot on a Saturday afternoon. We were pretty intimidated by the line that we saw outside of the restaurant but I quickly hopped out of the car to put my name down on the waiting list. FYI, you will need to put your name down on the clipboard outside of the restaurant to wait in queue. They don't have the Yelp waitlist online, just in case you were wondering. We waited about 15-20 minutes in line. I ordered the stone bowl pho dac biet. Really good broth, not super rich on flavor. Just the way I like it. Everything tasted delicious. My cup was always refilled due to the staff being attentive & checking up on you. Ambiance was nice. Enough seats to accommodate big parties. Definitely will be back!

REALLY LIVES UP TO ITS NAME Very delightful and yummy dishes and delightful cozy environment. Ordered the beef short rib pho in the hot stone and the rice vermicelli with beef and eggs rolls. Both hit the spot! The pho broth was seasoned so well and the beef fell easily off the bone. I think it's one of the best pho in 626. Loved that the pot kept the pho steaming throughout dinner. This is coming from an OC native too. Careful of burning your tongue As for the vermicelli bowl, the eggrolls were crispy and the fish sauce was well made! Thank you! Will be coming back.

I loved how they have both a Vietnamese and Chinese menu! The stone bowl really kept the pho soup hot which made it even more delicious! The servers were very attentive and quick to help! The restaurant is small but we got seated under 5 minutes on a saturday for a party of 7. Their Ca Phe Sua Da was really strong but that's how I like my coffee either way. I definitely want to come back and try their cha gio or bun bo hue!

Came here today for lunch. They have a small parking lot in the back and street parking. We checked in and seated in 5mins. Eggrolls - 4/5 - Good Garlic & Butter Chicken Wings - 3/5 - Most restaurants give about 5-6pcs of wings but this spot gives 10pcs! However, it needed more garlic flavor or something to make it tastier. We like the fact it came out hot and the skin was crunchy. Pho Tai - 4/5 - you can pick your own protein. I picked Filet Steak. I thought they gave more than enough meats. It was tasty. Hong Kong Chow Fun - 4/5 - Good Everything came out fresh and hot. I would definitely go back.

I was recommended Golden Delight when I was craving good pho. I was a bit skeptical because I already have my favorite spot that I go to for many years. I decided to give it a try but I was not disappointed! I loved the pho broth. It was just right. I loved that you had an option to get it in a stone bowl. It came out piping hot! The only thing was that the parking was a bit hard to find so you would have to park right in front or in the residential area. Service is always great

The dish I ordered, the grilled pork and egg rolls vermicelli, was well put together and delicious while eating it. After finishing it though, I felt an intense thirst for over an hour. Typically this means that a heavy helping of salts and flavor enhancers are used in the food and sauces. The flavors are good, but diners with any sensitivity to flavor enhancers should be aware.

The Imperial Rolls are extremely tasty. The Pork Chop is definitely marinated. The service was decent. The issue is the Pho. Unless you order the pho in the stone pot, your pho soup is not as hot. The bean sprout and onions will not be cooked. Overall, parking was easy to find.

First time ordering from Golden Delight and wowww it hit the spot! I got the Hainan chicken rice and it was sooo good. The chicken was super tender, rice had that perfect flavor, and the sauces made it even better. Portions are generous and they give fresh cucumber and tomato on the side which made it extra refreshing. Honestly such a comforting meal, I'll for sure be coming back again. Golden Delight did not disappoint!

Higher quality and fresher ingredients than the traditional pho restaurant you'd fine anywhere in LA. The stone pot offering seemed a little gimmicky at first, but does keep your soup hotter longer and is more effort on their end to serve so a couple bucks more is not unreasonable.

This place always has a line outside, so we never stopped in because we didn't want to wait. One day we came off hours and were seated immediately. The theme is gold. Everything is gold color, water pitcher, utensils, water cups etc etc. The place is pretty spacious and can seat large families. The menu is very extensive and offers specialty items not regularly seen in other Vietnamese restaurants. The fried tofu was pretty good, bun bo hue was ok only, fried fish filet was pretty good, bun suon moc was not good. I also ordered an orange thick soup noodle which I don't remember the name, it was totally thumbs down and couldn't finish it. Also got their che ba mau dessert , pretty ok. The place is decent but did not wow me. I'll try the family rice sets next time, I love ca kho to so I'm totally interested since there are not a lot of places that offer it.

We really liked their 2nd location on Valley Blvd. and wanted to try their 1st location on Garvey Ave. to see if they're the same. However, we were deeply disappointed and completely unsatisfied with the experience here. Not only do they have awful service (servers were not attentive at all), but the food didn't taste the same here. We ordered the stone bowl pho with 3 items (rare steak, beef balls, and fatty brisket), charbroiled pork and egg rolls vermicelli, and the shrimp and pork spring rolls. They weren't as flavorful and the pho broth wasn't good. The spring rolls were kinda hard to eat. One thing that's unique about this place is they offer a Chinese menu. Their new location only has the Vietnamese menu. Not sure why this location has such a long waitlist, but it's definitely not worth the wait. Also it's hard to find parking here. They have a small parking lot with limited street parking. Save your time and just go to their new location on Valley Blvd!

Found Golden Delight while on the hunt for Hainan Chicken in the Rosemead area, and it seemed to be the only spot offering it. Definitely a plus when you've got a specific craving! The dish itself looked appetizing, and the taste was pretty decent - good enough to satisfy. The chicken was tender and the rice was fragrant. Food: The Hainan Chicken hit the spot. Not mind-blowing, but a solid "good enough." Ambiance: The restaurant itself looks nice and clean. Service: Staff could have been a bit more welcoming and attentive. A little more warmth would go a long way. If you're in the area and specifically want Hainan Chicken, Golden Delight is a reasonable option. It gets the job done. Could be a 4-star experience with friendlier service.

This restaurant was a nice surprise. It's located on the corner of Garvey and Willard. There is a small parking lot in the back from Willard and an underground parking structure. It's allowed for Golden Delight customers for two hours. You have to walk up the ramp to get to the restaurant. The servers greeted us as soon as we walked in. Luckily I didn't have to wait for a table. The Vietnamese food menu is long. Each page has an item with a large photo and lists all the ingredients. The tableware and decor give fancier vibes. There were gold table numbers as if they belonged at a wedding. Our water cups were gold! The music was soft calming elevator music. Almost every server said "thank you" to us when we left. That made me feel like they were very attentive and appreciated our patronage. Pho was great. Vermicelli was delicious. Spring roll appetizers was amazing. They were so generous with the greens! There is a whole other Chinese food menu that I didn't even get to look at! The kitchen for Chinese food closes much later (30 min before closing), so I will have to stop by another time to try it out. The Vietnamese kitchen closes at 7:30 PM every day. (also posted on Google)

I am a loyal customer here, and the food is always delicious. However, the host is consistently very rude. We've visited many times, and her attitude has been the same every single time. Today was no different--she seemed annoyed the moment we walked in. There was no wait at all, but she still asked us to put our name on the waitlist and told us the table was being cleaned, then walked away. When the table was ready, she yelled at us: "Next time you guys have to wait outside." I understand the policy, but there was no wait at that moment.I was with my 90-year-old grandma, who has difficulty walking, and it was really inconvenient. The table was literally 5 seconds away from being ready, yet she still refused to let us sit. It's very disappointing to be treated this way despite being a regular customer.

An absolute delight! The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and efficient with their service. A great place to take your family members! They serve both Chinese and Vietnamese food, with 2 separate menus. The food is really solid. The Oxtail Pho is a must! It's very filling and everything is fresh and perfectly cooked. It comes with the oxtail, a side of brisket to cook in the soup, and the usual veggies for pho. I also tried the Bun Thang which is a Hanoi vermicelli noodle soup with chicken, egg, and ham. The soup isn't too heavy and again, all the ingredients are perfectly cooked and seasoned well.

Best Pho in the 626! Vietnamese/Chinese ran restaurant. If you want Viet food, the kitchen closes earlier every day at 7:30 pm so ensure you are coming prior to that time. The restaurant looks very unique and prestigious, but is actually affordable. If you're in the area, you can sign up with Yelp waitlist

Golden Delight lives up to its name! The food, service and atmosphere is a delight! The 3 of us were lucky to walk in at about 11:15 on a Saturday for lunch. It quickly filled up and people were lining up as we ate. Idk if reservations are allowed, but I would suggest making them ahead of time because it is popular. They have a variety of Vietnamese food such as pho, broken rice, vermicelli bowls, spring rolls, summer rolls, etc. They also have the usual Vietnamese drinks. Service was pretty quick and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed my pork chops, fried egg and spring roll plate. My friends also liked their pho and vermicelli bowl. The 3 of us had a lovely lunch catching up and eating yummy food.

On a Monday afternoon this restaurant already had a waitlist. I was 4th on the waitlist and it actually went by quick. The service was alright. Staff were very efficient and quick. After ordering, my pho arrived within less than 10 minutes. I was never asked if I wanted my water refilled until I was about to pay. I enjoyed the pho and thought it was pretty good. Of course the broth isn't as rich as the ones in Westminster but it'll satisfy the cravings. They are very generous on the meats. Prices are great as well. $13.99 for a regular bowl and you get to choose 3 different types of meat.

Great for noodle dishes like pho, bun bo hue and other personal dishes. Dinner family style dishes weren't up to par. Parking is limited behind restaurant and there is a downstairs parking structure as well. If you're able to find parking on the street that would be the best. Bun Bo Hue- had depth to the broth. They included a variety of meats in the soup including pork blood. Beef Short Rib Pho- can't go wrong with 2 giant beef ribs poking out of the bowl. Pretty aesthetic, meat was fall of the bone Snow Pea Leaves w/ Sliced Garlic- was alright, snow peas were very mature and tough. Deep Fried Whole Fish- came out over fried, batter was way too hard and overly crunchy.

Solid Vietnamese food options here. I like to come to Golden Delight when I'm craving various noodle soups. I recommend the stone bowl pho, banh canh cua, bun rieu, and bun bo hue. Also portions are big so I always have some leftover! My other go-to spot for banh canh cua has closed so now I always come here when I'm craving it. Prices are a little expensive but the seating here is a bit nicer than your typical Vietnamese joint. They also serve Chinese banquet food so I see larger parties come for family-style meals or special occasions. Also, this place has BOMB sate sauce. It's in one of the jars on your table and its so aromatic with lemongrass, shallots, chilis, and garlic. I love that stuff and I wish they sold it!

I enjoyed their noodles soup with big bones in a side bowl. The service is good. This restaurant becomes my favorite pho place in San Gabriel Valley

- - ~* NGL EVERYTHING WAS PRETTY GOOD *~ - - We ordered the: - salt & pepper fried squid 5/5 - beef cubes w/ galric noodles 5/5 - spring rolls 4/5 - pho 3.5/5 - chicken curry 3.5/5 The squid was crispy and flavorful. The beef cubes were SO soft & the noodles are the ones where you normally eat them with lobster. so yummy \(^o^)/ The pho & curry have lower ratings bc i'm biased and love the homemade ones BUT it was still pretty delicious. Service was super fast and nice!

This places soup's are good, besides the pho, it's just okay. This time I got the bun Bo hue and my mom got bun thit nuong cha gio. I liked the bun Bo hue as it's very flavorful and rich and comes w lots of meat. My mom liked her dish too. We've also tried the bun rieu and pho both were solid. The service is excellent and it's very clean and bright inside!

Love this place! They have a great mix of Chinese & Vietnamese food at really reasonable prices. If you go during peak times it can get busy and you will have to wait for a table. I love their VIetnamese hot & sour soup, it isn't an easy dish to find so i was happy to see it on their menu. Since there are not many veggie options in Vietnamese food it is nice to be able to order them off the Chinese menu. They even have Peking duck on the Chinese menu! They also have a good selection of beverages. The staff is really nice and helpful which is a bonus.

Prob my favorite resistant in the SGV. My family is tired of coming here so I can't go as often as I'd like

Golden Delight is a delightfully good time. The restaurant resembles a Chinese banquet hall with heavy, drapey seats and round dinner tables. And part of the menu does offer family style dinner courses. However, I come here for the phở dặc biệt in a stone pot ($14). The idea is genius - your broth simmers and retains its heat in a stone pot while you dip your noodles as you go. This is perfect if you're a slow eater. While the stone pot is a novelty, the phở broth is fire. It's rich and umami. I ate phở on a very warm day and people had no qualms with doing the same. If you're looking for something a little less brothy, I'd recommend ordering the bún chả giò. The menu is expansive and offers just about every recognizable Vietnamese noodle soup perfect for large groups. Even more perfect is their family style menu. I'll be back to sample more of their menu.
