Best Vietnamese in the valley by far. Each dish was plated beautifully. Owner is very warm and kind. Decor is a collection of unique vintage furniture and art. We couldn't help but more than our stomachs can handle. But we were thrilled to have left overs.

Great food! The owners are such good people and make the food from the heart. Highly recommend the spring rolls their fresh and the peanut sauce is to die for.

This place is very unassuming when you first see it. It's located in a strip mall in not the best area, but if you stay combat ready like me, you will have no problems. I decided to try the place since it was top 100 on Yelp in 2023. The restaurant is small and very low key. Menu is straightforward, but I knew I had to try the Pho. Drink selection is in a fridge filled with different bottles. This place would do well to add Boba to the mix. Pho came out and looked like any other Pho I've seen, but that's where the similarities ended. All broths are not created equal and this one is far above all others. The amount of great flavor they pack in their broth is remarkable. I can honestly say this was the best Pho I've ever tried. Service was friendly and fast. Must try if you are in the area!

Delicious authentic Vietnamese food that doesn't cut corners and located in a humble Plaza. Quick and simple service with a clean and cozy ambiance. I enjoyed the penom penh noodle dish and their crispy egg rolls. They were very crispy. We also tried the charbroil pork with noodles. It was nice to Vietnamese dishes that we can't find everywhere. It's rare to find the central and northern Vietnamese dishes in the US let alone the SFV.

I have had so much southeast Asian food and also plenty of Vietnamese food but this place really is on another level. There are so many creative and interesting dishes. The classic dishes are made with more care and very flavorful, and the less commonly found dishes are also exceptional. I am so fascinated by the new flavors and textures and I am very excited to return.

I am from Vietnam, born and raised. This place is 1000% legit and likely my favorite Viet place in SoCal. Food tastes amazing with exactly the authentic flavor profiles from home, which is extremely rare to find here. It is a mom and pop shop, and the restaurant owners are just the best people.

I discovered Khuu bistro by accident as I was in the area- what a great surprise!! First thing I started chatting with a lovely Vietnamese brother & sister who were regulars & spoke French- they helped me pick out things to try! I absolutely loved the pork in fish sauce, a recipe from Hanoi. We also got crispy chicken which was delicious. My sauce also ordered beef broccoli but this one was a bit too salty I thought. The decor is modest but clean, capacity is probably 20 with about 6/7 tables. The owner served us and he was nice & also spoke French :) I would recommend and come back for sure!

2024.08-25/SUN_1000: We were craving Pho but didn't feel like going to our favorite spot in Santa Clarita. We wanted something more closer to home. The only problem is, not many places make my favorite dish, Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ. It's a crepe filled with pork and shrimp and veggies. It's also served with veggies to eat it with. I've always loved for Vietnamese cuisine mixes the hot and crispy with fresh veggies. We ended up finding Khuu Bistro. One of the two places within Reseda and Santa Clarita that makes Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ. We found out that it even supports our Early Bird schedule! On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, they open at 9 a.m. and during the week, they open at 10 a.m. Nestled in an inline, tiny shopping center, we found the welcome Khuu Bistro. It's the only restaurant that had a wonderful, calmly decorated exterior. You won't miss it because it's beautiful. I don't know how to explain it unless I use the word "zen". It would definitely be the only restaurant I would choose there because it's inviting. There are plants and a new burgundy awning. Just calming. When you walk in, it has nostalgic decor along with plants, a very clean restaurant and is similar to a bodega or market yet inviting. We were greeted by an older gentleman who asked us if it were our first time. The music created a warm ambiance. It was great to see elders walk in and you can tell they've been frequenting the restaurant for quite some time. This means it's going to be some real good food. We ordered the Eggrolls/Bún cha Ha Noi, to start with. It was stuffed with ground pork, mushrooms, clear vermicelli, vegetables all wrapped in spring roll skin then deep fried. The outer skin of the egg rolls were like no other Vietnamese place we've eaten at. The mushrooms in the rolls give it such a great flavor. It was out of this world authentic and delicious! We now have a new favorite spot. Completely sold. We love how authentic the flavor of the Eggrolls along with the sweetened dipping fish sauce, Nuoc Cham was also delicious! Luckily, the dish I ordered came with Nuoc Cham! We got the charbroiled pork in fish sauce, Bún cha Ha Noi and the Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ, a Vietnamese Crepe. My favorite! Oh my gosh, words cannot describe how authentic the flavors of their dishes are. It made us completely forget our favorite spot in Santa Clarita. Now we found a new spot close to home! Holy moly, the crepe came out light and crispy and the first bite was absolute heaven. The crepe is stuffed with delicious pork, shrimp, and sprinkling of mung bean, onions and bean sprouts. So different than any other Bánh Xèo Nam Bộ that we've tried. Another great fact is their menu consists of different dishes from the Northern, Middle and Southern regions of Vietnam. This is how you know it's legitimately authentic. They let you know! The other dish was the charbroiled pork in fish sauce, Bún cha Ha Noi. My husband asked how to properly consume the dish and the gentleman showed him. Generally, if you go to other restaurants, it's all thrown into a bowl and you're given a little ramekin of the Nuoc Cham. You eat the dish like cold dipping noodles by using another little bowl to place all of your items of a couple of bites inside it along with the broth/sauce and Nuoc Cham. Holy moly, we were in heaven. My husband was very happy and satisfied. He said eating it the proper way changed the flavor and experience. Another great thing was the pricing to portions. Extremely great. Along with the experience from the gentleman that served us, ambience and authentic cuisine, we now have a new place to frequent. Apparently the dish my husband has was the same fish that Anthony Bourdain had when he went to Vietnam. You definitely have to visit and just know that this is our new spot! We can't wait to try the Pho, if these dishes were excellent, I can't imagine how their broth will taste! We can't wait! #greateats #Vietnamese #BánhXèoNam Bộ #BúnchaHaNoi #khuubistro #mortimerthebear

The host and co-owners were welcoming and friendly. We got to learn more about the story of the family business from one of the co-owners (the other being the chef). We appreciated them coming to our table and introducing themselves! 1. The food - we got three dishes and all of them were flavorful. I loved the tofu dish that came with plenty of noodles and herbs including shiso, lettuce, basil, mint. We also got the omelette that came with pickles and more herbs. We had about half as left overs since the portions were generous. 2. Nice setting - you walk in and there are various wooden cabinets decorating the space with Vietnamese art and other funky thrift store items on the walls. The space is small and homie but with enough sitting for larger groups. I would bring friends here! 3. Parking - parking lot next to restaurant/ at the time of arrival at 8pm it was pretty open. 4. Clean establishment - and plus to have gender neutral restroom I hope that there can be potentially be more vegetarian options in the future. As a sweet tooth, I was hoping to end my meal with something sweet yet the coconut did help!
