22 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Benicia

“I love the food here and have eaten here many times. I usually get the pho or banh mi. The smoothies are delicious! But the boba is gross. It always has a bite to it and never tastes sweetened with brown sugar or honey. That's fine though, I just don't order it!

Unfortunately the woman working at the front makes me feel like I'm not welcome or inconveniencing her every time we order. We always say hi, sometimes we have questions, and tell her to have a nice day, but we either never get a response or the response is low energy. There's no eye contact, low volume, and visible eye rolling or scoffing, I know customer service isn't a fun job, but it almost feels personal? I'm really glad they have an online ordering option and a kiosk now because I can avoid her. She triggers my social anxiety because I feel like I'm doing something wrong every time I'm there.“

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“The team making everything happen here are truly wonderful. They work efficiently and are always pleasant. The food is consistently tasty and is served almost immediately. I have only ever ordered the medium noodle bowls, and they are much more than I can eat in one sitting. My go to? Pho tom. Delicious! Also, try the Vietnamese Coffee. It's so good! Get in here and try it; you will not be disappointed!“

“Pho Huong Viet is a modest vietnamese pho place in Vallejo. They are located in a midsize plaza.

I had a Vermicelli grilled bbq chicken and lemonade. Food was warm, tasty and delicious. Drink was refreshing. Prices were very reasonably inexpensive.
Collectively, this is a good Pho place. I am glad I was brought here by relatives.
Overall, I recommend this Pho.“

“This is the best one pho I’ve had in California. Pho is probably my favorite food ever and I’m always looking for a spot. The broth had so much depth I actually felt like the Sriracha took away from it. The noodles are fresh and so tender. My husband orders the bun plates and those don’t disappoint either. Now I’m always looking for excuses to be in Vallejo. Their service is awesome too. Friendly and quick. Restroom is clean. Nothing but good things to say. But seriously the pho is incredible“

“Food is delicious. Their bahn mi sandwiches have quality flavor and are packed generously with meat and veggies. When I ordered it, they did communicate to me it would take long about 25 mins. However I did end up waiting about 35-40 mins. Order ahead of time if you're in a rush. I noticed other people were waiting a while for their food as well. There was only one person taking orders and delivering food. They are family owned and ran. I hope they can hire more people to make it run more efficiently.I do like how they have tofu bahn mi as an option! Most bahn mi places don't offer that.The seats seem scattered. However there is various options for seating which is good for large groups. I would come back, but probably order ahead of time!“

“I brought my parents to eat here. My dad loves pho! Their service was great. The food arrived quickly. The food was delicious. We had grilled pork Vietnamese sandwiches, grilled pork vermicelli bowl, spring rolls, and BBQ pork and wonton pho. (can you tell we love grilled pork?) the pork was delicious! The sandwiches were not dry. We completely enjoyed our meal and had a very nice time together. I would highly recommend this place for both dining in and takeout.“

“Best Banh Mi sandwiches in the east bay for me. Been to a lot of places in the bay area and for me this is the spot. $8 for a sandwich. They are not like other spots that charge you for a different meat/flavor banh mi. I try to come here at least 3 times a month when I'm passing by because I don't live in Concord.“

“Everything is fresh and soups are comforting. Quick service and everything is made fresh.“

“Absolutely AMAZING hole in the wall ran by a sweet family. Stumbled upon this gem on our drive home and it did not disappoint. Everything was incredibly flavorful! We had the Phơ Tái, Kang Panang (red curry), Fried rice and Crispy Egg rolls. It was so good we forgot to feed the phone before digging in. Would definitely make the drive back.“

“I've ordered takeout from Pho Viet several times now, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the grilled beef with garlic noodles, always paired with an egg roll on the side—and it's fantastic every time. The portion size is just right for a satisfying, well-rounded meal. I love that they include fresh veggies like carrots and lettuce at the bottom, which adds a nice balance to the dish.

The beef is always perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the garlic noodles are packed with flavor. And trust me, the egg roll is a must—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect finishing touch.

The staff are always super friendly when I stop by to pick up my order, which makes the experience even better. I’m really looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu, especially the pho, which I’ve heard great things about.

Highly recommend!“

“Can't rly give atmosphere 5 stars because it's takeout only but the wife and I love this place! Banh mi is excellent, as are the bowls of whatever. I don't think there's anything the owner chef woman can't make well. She used to run 3 restaurants! Also she is an angel. Go there for the owner chef woman if nothing else. Also egg rolls and crab rangoon are yummy.

“The grilled chicken with shrimp and vermicelli was super tasty, and all the sides hit the mark—fresh spring rolls, crispy fried egg rolls, and a comforting seafood wonton soup with egg noodles. The drinks were awesome too—loved the three bean, mung bean with coconut milk, and the young coconut. Everything was fresh, the place was clean, and service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back!“

“Came here during my lunch ⏳, ordered the pho 🍜—the number one combo—and the broth was amazing 🤩! The beef 🥩 was tender, and everything was perfect 👌. A huge, humongous bowl just for me—of course, I couldn’t finish it and ended up taking some home 🏡. Definitely worth it! 😋“

“The broth was really greasy, taste was good. I would think 3 times before drinking their water though, I had a cup of water and had a really weird taste. Just one zip and I stopped drinking it. Idk what that was about. Spring rolls were good, the service is ok.“

“Service is minimal, but their noodles are good.“

“great food and fast service ❤️thank you for dinner 🍽“

“We visited Pho 1 Express for dinner and ordered the Bun Bo Hue (T2), Combo Rice Plate (#35), and a Mango Smoothie with boba. The Bun Bo Hue was decent but lacked the bold flavor I was expecting. I’ll likely try a different dish next time. The Combo Rice Plate was enjoyable—our guest liked it a lot. The Mango Smoothie, however, tasted like it might have been made with canned ingredients, so I wouldn’t order it again. Overall, the food was good, and the dining experience was pleasant.“

“Honestly, the best pho I've had in a long time and the second best was the same restaurant, but in Walnut Creek. I wouldn't go anywhere else for pho in Concord. They sell small, medium, large bowls. I got a medium and it was plenty“

“Very good! Stopped in after a movie. The service was impeccable! It was my first time eating at this location and as soon as we walked in, they made you feel like they have known you forever or that we were regulars. I noticed that some regulars who walked in, they already knew what they were going to order and were greeted exceptionally well. The food of course matched the service. Was very good. Fresh and flavorful! I would go again for sure and recommend you eating there. Well done!“

“My sister and I stumbled upon this gem when we were shopping at a few antique stores around the corner. This place was the star of the day. We ordered the shredded chicken Bahn Mi (we split one sandwich) and it did not disappoint! Fresh bread with the perfect amount of softness and crispiness, delightfully seasoned shredded chicken with cucumbers, carrots, cilantro and a touch of heat with some thin, green peppers. I couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day. Thankful we found this place. Service was terrific!“

“Quick lunch whilst waiting for train. Beef Pho was excellent with plenty of slices of beef, many vegetables and noodles with a lovely aromatic broth. My wife’s noodle dish was huge with again plenty of vegetables and a very spiced sauce. Both were delicious. Highly recommend“
