We'd been waiting for months and and months wondering when it was finally going to open. But you know what? And the wait was more worth it.
The food we ordered was absolutely delicious and the owner Si was a most gracious, friendly man not to mention very informative and helpful in describing how to put together Soy "fish" with dill and special sauce items in our bowl. Oh and let me tell you the flavors of this dish are amazing. There's just no other way to describe it. A sizzling soy fish mixture, noodles, green leaf lettuce, cilantro, mint and a special sauce. You line the bottom of your bowl with torn pieces of the lettuce, cilantro, mint...top with noodles...spoon on the sauce...and add on the seafood mixture. Oh and don't forget to add some of the homemade oily chili sauce! It makes all of the flavors of this wonderful dish come together perfectly. Other dishes we enjoyed were the unique Banana Flower Tacos appetizers and the Fried Rice Thailand style. Both were excellent as well.
We absolutely can't wait to come back and try many many more dishes. Everything on the menu looks and sounds so inviting.
Si and his family have created a cute little ambiance as well. Clean, fresh, and relaxing. We just can't say enough about Thuyen Vien except to say we wish you all the success in the world with the hope of many many great years of great dining experiences yet to come!

Thanks, once again, Chowhound for rescuing me from mediocrity. We were at Disneyland and couldn't stomach another night of the places in/near there. And wow did this hit the spot. We had the pho (only one kind it seemed), the jicama summer rolls, the crispy garlic "chicken" and the pumpkin curry. They were all top notch. Also had the vegan Vietnamese iced coffee, about which I was dubious. They said they make the fake milk product from tofu themselves, and it was quite good.
Anyways, this is a must for Disney families (our four year old gobbled the pho and summer rolls happily) and a good stop on any San Diego to LA/Valley drive.

You can see for yourself. Link below to their website. Personally, I think for the portion sizes and the excellent quality of the food and the fact that it is extremely healthy for you, prices are very reasonable. We ate there again last night. Three items & two waters, $22 & change. And it included a healthy helping of brown rice to go with our garlic chicken. And they do take 'plastic'.
