   Only in Californla __ a VietNamese restaurant owned and operated by a couple of Immigrants from Mexico. After the founder sold the place, a VietNamese friend who ate there often said "The new owners aren't VietNamese ... but the food is better!" My partner and I have eaten often for several years now. The food has never been better. The service is prompt and attentive. The atmosphere is calm and quiet enough for a party of four to have a sustained conversation without raising their voices. Personal favorites: calamari fried in a light batter, wok-fried rice chicken pork or shrimp, protein bowl. Reservations recommended. -

   5:30 PM reservation. One table occupied inside but we are seated in the back next to the kitchen. Doesn’t make sense. Food: Salt is your friend.

   I went here over a year ago and spoke highly of this place. I took my daughter here and what a disappointment. Do not bother with the calamari, the soup noodle dish were so salty you could go into cardiac arrest and they offer pho broth to thin it out but the pho broth was sweet so it ruined the whole dish. A few other dishes lacked what I would say, love when cooked so they were just ok and the prices were insane for the quality. Use to be a dimmer lovely atmosphere but did not get that vibe this time… lighter and really noisy. The staff were polite but to much in your space and worrying that all was good. That said, I am sad and will not return nor will I send people there. Bring it back up to the intimate, love in every dish way it use to be.

   There's something for everyone at 533 Viet Fusion. Large plates, small plates, sharable plates. Flavors are fresh and perfectly balanced. Nice selection of well-priced wines by the glass and a full bar.

   533 Viet Fusion never disappoints, the food is delicious, I’m especially fond of the slow braised short rib and pad Thai noodles. And the service has always been exceptional. Just a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

    This is one of our "go to restaurants" in Palm Springs. the food is always great and the service is outstanding. The waitstaff know the menu and can make recommendations. They are attentive, helpful and nice. We continue to bring our house guests, visiting Palm Springs, and are never disappointed. Thank you.
