In search of a new favorite Vietnamese spot?

Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable eateries serving such fare around Anaheim, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the best spots to fulfill your urges.

Topping the list is Thuyen Vien. Located at 1740 S. Euclid St. in Southwest Anaheim, it's the most popular budget-friendly Vietnamese restaurant in Anaheim, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,228 reviews on Yelp. 

Yelper Mindy D., who reviewed Thuyen Vien on Feb. 13, wrote, "Not like Thuyen Vien needs anymore raving reviews on Yelp, but I just felt so compelled to write one because it's that good! 100% vegetarian/vegan Vietnamese/Thai food doesn't get any better than this."

Lovella A. noted, "I don't think I could ever be a vegetarian or vegan, but Thuyen Vien makes me think twice. Maybe I'd be okay if I get to eat their garlic chicken for the rest of my life!"

2. Chao Village

Next up and also in Southwest Anaheim is Chao Village, at 430 S. Euclid St. With 4.5 stars out of 282 reviews on Yelp, the Vietnamese and Asian fusion spot, offering comfort food and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option. 

If you're looking for more, we found these details about the restaurant:

"Chao Village is a family-owned business proudly serving fresh quality Vietnamese comfort foods such as our popular tri tip pho (the first and only in the area)," it states on Yelp. "We also offer garlic noodle with shaken beef, and a variety of rice plates and stir-fried noodles. A great stop for noodle lovers and those looking for a hearty meal."

3. Pho 2012 Bistro

Anaheim Hills's Pho 2012 Bistro, at 5636 E. La Palma Ave., is another top choice. Yelpers give the inexpensive Vietnamese spot four stars out of 211 reviews.

Yelper Adrianna S. wrote, "Me and my kids love the veggie pho here. What's even better are the people who work here. Lee knows most by name and remembers their orders. She is the sweetest lady and makes everyone feel special."

4. Chicken Hero Kho Ga
