We enjoyed our visit to Tiato! The outdoor dining was beautiful, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The pork belly banh mi was tasty (a little bit spicy), and the short rib pho was good. Short rip was super tender! Although I'd love a richer broth next time. What really stood out was the amazing service – attentive and friendly staff made our experience top-notch.

I went here for an event. Loved the ambiance, warm lighting, warm in temperature. unfortunately I didn't get to try the dishes I was hoping to try. I only got the Chicken dumplings, small portion but the size was perfect, not too big. But tasty. Not sure the price matched the amount of dumplings i received. But it was good. It is a great place for a date

Absolutely love Tiato! I found Tiato when I was looking for a wedding venue; it was everything my husband and I were looking for. I’m Vietnamese and he isn’t, so we were thrilled to find a place that does Viet fusion, but it actually tastes good! The food tastes like my childhood, while still being accessible for those less familiar with Viet food. Tiato also has great staff — super easy to communicate with and genuinely kind! They helped tailor every detail exactly to our taste, all within a reasonable (SoCal) budget. It was no surprise when so many of our guests told us we had the best food of any wedding they’ve been to! And bonus points for plenty of delicious vegan and and gluten free options. Apart from wedding planning, we’ve come here many times just for lunch/dinner and will come many more times because we love the food. All of that to say, I would endlessly recommend Tiato for all event planning or just for a delicious meal.

Inside of Lionsgate Entertainment. Good variety of healthy options. I had the noodles with chicken and veggies which was Delicious! Sat outside and it was very relaxing.
Kele Coloma
Food. Lobster Mac and cheese that’s all I have to say!!! Great selection and prices commensurate with the market. Super popular and many stars come to eat here as well. Atmosphere. Beautiful, airy, relaxing and comfortable. Service. Reasonably good and friendly. A great place to have a group to share dishes. No need for photos as there are too many already.
Avy-Loren Cohen
Loved every bite. Everything was incredible. I highly recommend taking home some pastries or a smoothie. I was very impressed.
Joshua Derrick
Love the decor here, in and out. Staff is a bit slow, may be shortage? We came for late lunch and it was a bit slow. Prices are very reasonable. The food is delicious and portion is quite big. The salad with salmon sautéed just right, with the crispy skin. Perfect. The Banh Mi wasnt bad either. The burger was good as well. The build your own plate was delicious, a bit of carbs, protein, etc is poke bowl style and combined any way worked well. Definitely will try that again.
Brian Tran
Visited this pace for lunch. Wasn’t too crowded, and the service was quick. I had their Pho. Noodles was good and chicken was tender but the broth felt bland without much flavour. My colleague had noodles with veggies, which looked good. Would definitely visit again to try other dishes.
