25 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.“

“Food was awesome! Every single piece of meat was cooked perfectly. The broth on my BBH and my husband’s pho were light but flavorful!Didn’t realize we over-ordered for 2 people until our dishes arrived. The servings were definitely good for sharing. We left with full bellies and a ton of take out.Viet coffee was soooo yummy and was perfect for today’s 75 deg weather.Service was great and the restaurant is well kept and clean. Free parking.Will definitely visit again when I’m in the area!“

“Awesome customer service, thai basil chicken ordered 🔥 loved the heat level, as well as eggplant w beef, oh and freshly prepped papaya salad 🔥...tasty prepared with heart.. wish I wasn't moving.. but will def visit when I visit CA 😋 ☺️🫡“

“Very welcoming area and serving with a smile. They seated us immediately, and the atmosphere was very nice, got music playing in the background. They check up on you. The pricing was very much fair. I recommend trying the garlic noodles with Cajun shrimp it’s so good! Don’t forget to tip fellas, they deserve it!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! 😋“

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

“Delicious Vietnamese sandwiches at reasonable price ($10) per sandwich with lots of meat. Delicious! I found this place about two months ago, and I enjoyed the sandwiches so much that I drove extra 8 miles from Walnut Creek to this restaurant“

“Great little place!!! Definitely recommend!! Food was delicious! Customer service was fast, waiter was kind and very attentive. We came and got our food within 10min we ate and enjoyed our very flavorful food! We had a bowl jasmine rice with beef and salad and the meat was so tender, juicy and flavorful, and the rice was perfectly cooked. We also had the spicy beef pho and the broth itself was full of really good flavor with the right amount of heat 👌 we also had the shrimp rolls with the almond sauce and that was sweat and definitely new taste for me but it wasn’t not good. The shrimp was very tasty and when you top the shrimp roll with hot sauce it’s even better! We also had the chicken fried rice for the kids and they seemed very satisfied too! Oh and we can’t forget about their frozen lemonade 😋 definitely pair this drink with whatever you order!! 🤗I give this place a 10/10! They are open for dine in and also open for pick up and in grub hub for delivery. Dine in experience was great! And we will be back soon!“

“I’ve been coming to Kevin since it opened in Walnut Creek. Parking was a problem ubtil they expanded back parking. The beef broth is above average as well as service. However, prices were increased and portion was reduced simultaneously recently.“

“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.“

“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.

Vegetarian options: Dishes that don't have meat“

“They are very attentive! The portion sizes come in small, medium, and large, which is thoughtful because I can't finish a medium or large portion! This would lead to wastage and inconvenience with packing! There weren't many staff members, so I had to wait a bit before seeing someone, but the staff were warm and friendly! The taste is also quite good! I would recommend it!“

“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.“

“**update** I'm glad I found this new place because my usual is closed for the 4th July holiday. The Pho broth is inconsistent now. Hit or miss. Currently they still offer the best Bun Bo Hue (spicy noodle beef soup) in town. I still need to try their banh mi!“

“Stopped in with the family for dinner. We had the shrimp rolls, basket of fries, a pork banh mi, a chicken rice plate, and a pork rice plate. Everything was delicious. The little one loves the aoli sauce that came with the fries.They offer water for free, and have a variety of canned soda to drink.“

“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“

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

“This is a family-owned restaurant located near the post office on Alhambra Ave. Plenty of free parking and wheelchair and kid friendly. The owners are very friendly. They have great Vietnamese sandwiches and all kinds of rice, noodle and pho dishes. veggie or meat options. All are excellent and very tasty. Also recommend the shrimp roll and spring roll appetizers. They just added a flan for dessert! So Yummy. Atmosphere is very casual but comfortable.“

“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!“

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

“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“
