39 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Burlingame

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“

“A few pieces of fat in the beef sandwich but tasty, also recommend the boba place nextdoor, plus their website has the best URL ever! Fun vibes inside with some interesting snacks too. Wasn't crazy about the fried tofu I got on the side.“

“Highly recommend coming for the Dungeness crab without having to venture out to San Francisco 🫪

We tried the peppercorn crab. The batter was perfect, it was white (meaning the oil is new). Again, I don’t like using my fingers to eat, but PPQ makes it easy. They give you a bib, sanitizing wipes, and napkins to keep your fingers clean. We will be back to try the salted egg and curry options 😊

We also enjoyed their beef papaya salad prior to the crab. It was refreshing and delicious. In addition, the garlic noodles are highly recommended too. To finish it off, we ordered a bowl of white jasmine rice to eat with the crab seasoning.

There is also a parking lot, but look for parking further away if none is available instead of circling around. It’s a pleasant walk around the nice neighborhood.“

“Me and my friend were both in the area where we were hungry and I asked what should we get to eat. My friend was craving for a Banh mi, so I did some research where I discovered this place and we both agreed to give it a try. Upon arrival, this place is basically a hole in the wall that has one table outside for anyone that chooses to eat there. There was just one customer ahead of us, but that was not a problem since we needed time to browse their menu and decide what to have. After a couple of minutes we knew what we wanted and a friendly staff greeted us and took our order. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. Their menu consists of a variety of Banh mi to choose from, salads, spring rolls, bowls, vermicelli items, refrigerated/house made drinks, pho is also an option and much more to choose from. As time went by the place quickly got busy with many customers coming by to place their orders. Finally our items arrived and each Banh mi comes with a small bag of chips which is just the perfect pair. Overall the food and experience was a satisfying one thanks to their professional, well trained and understanding staffs. I highly recommend this place to all Banh Mi enthusiasts, if you are in need of a quick bite just like me, to anyone willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“Best sandwich ever in Excelsior area ��� The bread is always crunchy and the meat is amazingly flavorful. My always choice is of course #6 grilled pork with well-seasoned meat and abundantly fresh veggies. #3 combination is also a should-try . It is what I believe the most traditional one. Besides these, a must-have is definitely Vietnamese ice coffee. It is made strong and sweet beautifully bringing me back the flavor which I always miss when being away from home. A strongly- recommended spot when you are in the area...���“

“I order from Cafe Bunn Mi regularly, and they absolutely nail it every single time. The food is always great and incredibly fresh. It’s rare to find a spot that is this consistent with their quality, but they never disappoint.

On top of the excellent food, the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. The prices are also totally fair and appropriate for the solid portions and quality you get. If you’re looking for a reliable, delicious meal in South SF, this is definitely the place to go!“

“delish good great owner kim“

“Super good!!! Would recommend to anyone. Big portions“

“I’ve been to a lot a pho places and I must say the pho here is really good! I got the rare steak and beef ball pho. It was tasty, flavorful and not greasy. It was very busy when I came in but I got a table after waiting about 10 minutes or so. I ordered their Vietnamese ice coffee with boba and it was delicious as well!“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“We went here for lunch while in San Francisco on business. I had the roasted duck and barbecued pork on rice, and it was excellent. The other three colleagues that were with me said theirs was outstanding also. One of them is a local and makes a point of going there weekly. Service was just a little bit slower than what I would have expected since we were there early right when they opened, but perhaps that's why it was a little slow because they had just barely opened for the day. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kind. Prices for very reasonable and parking was easy. I definitely recommend this place for a great lunch meal.“

“Great restaurant, the dishes are rich, the taste is great, the restaurant atmosphere is great, it is worth recommending“

“Standard pho was good. I don't know why the noodles just seemed excellent. Three types of good sri racha on the table. Great selection of beer and wine and coffee and tea. Waiter didn't know the alphanumeric codes for the dishes, but that was okay. Nice clean bathroom and friendly service.“

“Amongst many local eateries this was a gem. Great service with a smile. The decor is simple and familiar and includes a large screen video of Vietnamese food preparation.
Coming ourselves from a city full of Vietnamese restaurants the flavours here were spot on. The portions were larger than we expected.“

“The pad thai $12.95 was good. It sounded interesting to order a Thai dish at a Vietnamese restaurant. The portion was small and left me wanting. It came with a side of clear soup. Zero wait at lunch on a Saturday at noon as I'm the customer. A few people came through to pick up their go-to orders. My stir fried noodles were ready in about 10 minutes. The restaurant could use a deep cleaning as the tables are sticky but I didn't smell anything weird. This is a charming small restaurant with four tables serving good noodles on Leland St. There isn't a lot of restaurants on this block. Good job staff at Pho Luen Fat.“

“Kevin's Noodle House is the proverbial new kid on the block on Grand Avenue, and it has stepped right into direct competition with Ben Tre. It honestly feels like two local titans going head to head for neighborhood pho supremacy.

That said, I personally prefer Kevin's. I definitely have a soft spot for it since I grew up going to their other locations, and this one delivers that same familiar comfort. The food hits the spot, the flavors are consistent, and it feels dependable in the way a good noodle house should.

The space is clean and modern, and service has been friendly and efficient every time I have been. They renovated this building quite well. Ben Tre is still a strong option and longtime favorite for many, but Kevin's feels a little more my speed. One little quirk I noticed about the waiters - none of them write down orders. They are very good and always get it right. I am glad they opened here, and I will keep coming back.“

“This is my Vietnamese place (favorite) to go! Food is delicious!
I always order the #16 (pho) my son fried rice/shrimp and spring rolls
I like how nice they’re as well, they have people who speak spanish as well
I have been coming here since 2014 and I hope to be able to never stop coming to enjoy this amazing tasty food“

“we eat there for lunch quite often. the food is absolutely fresh, healthy and super delicious. the vegan options are just wonderful. highly recommend. 2000 Sierra point building in Brisbane CA“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Was looking for late night food that wasn’t fast. This place was busy with plenty of patrons. Dining space was bright, clean, and casual. Ordered a regular size bun bo hue. The large would have been too big. Bowl came out and the portions were generous. Rice noodles, blood pork, brisket, cha lua (steamed pork), even pork hock! Had high expectations, but alas the soup left something to be desired. Broth was spicy, salty, but I missed the fermented shrimp paste flavor that should be there. Otherwise, this is a great place to have a late night Vietnamese meal. Next time, I will have to try the laksa.“

“Chicken Papaya Salad and Beef Garlic Noodles…Both were delicious!“

“My husband and I just finished our lunch at this Saigon City restaurant.
The big bowls of Pho is the best
Hot and very delicious.
Special Vietnamess coffee very strong as well.
The owner and Hung who was the waiter was took our order very friendly and explain everything and recommend what we needed to order.
Thank you Team“

“Great food and service. Always a good experience.“

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was busy, but the service was fast. We had beef pho and tofu/vegetables with rice. The pho tasted good, but it was mostly broth, more veggies would be nice. The tofu- vegetable dish toasted ok, but it wasn't juicy enough to mix it with the rice, I had to use a lot of soy sauce, which I don't necessarily prefer, since it too salty.“

“Solid pho place with good portions of tender steak meat. Broth could use more umami flavor and noodles could be chewier. The place is clean but a bit dim for my liking. I know they were going for a peaceful vibe with their background music, but it almost put me to sleep. Service is friendly and efficient.“

“I had the delicious vermicelli with Vegetarian egg rolls. Wonderful!“

“As a Vietnamese person, I can say the pho here tastes very authentic. The broth is flavorful, the ingredients are fresh, and the portions are generous. Friendly service and great value. Definitely one of the better pho spots in the area! 🇻🇳🍜“

“Miss Subi is an absolute gem! The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted with a perfect balance of taste and quality ingredients. The ambiance is cozy and stylish, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are welcoming, attentive, and truly enhance the overall experience. If you’re looking for amazing food and great vibes, Miss Subi is definitely a must-visit!“

“This place is really great! It’s much better than Nijiya. I wish I knew about this place sooner. I don’t think they accept food stamps, but they’re also a small business (and not a corporate Japanese grocery store). I know it’s not the same as the also-cool Mexican grocery store near the Caltrain station that accepts food stamps, but people are trying. I don’t know what happened to the store, but there was a break in and they called the kops. This was after 2023, but I did ask the owner if they wanted me to reach out to some friends. I know that sounds sketchy, now that I’m writing it out. But I was trying to say that I was going to ask people to non-violently talk to people, like the talking circles that native people use. You can see an example of that on the “reservation dogs” tv show in season 1 (it’s the last episode of the season). Also, the people in the “this fool” comedy are Mexican and/or latine (some of them are not, so there’s diversity) and they also non-violently communicate with people too. That’s why, people in the community - who are not trying to get anything from anyone - should ask people, and it should be a team of people with diverse experiences who understand cultural differences. The people in this town have seen me around, and they know I’m not a drifter Whos just passing through (which is not all that different from a tourist). So I pray for the “tourists” and/or “drifters” because it doesn’t matter how much money or how little money they have: it’s not ok to harm anybody.“

“I just ordered food through DoorDash, so I can’t address the restaurant’s atmosphere, but o will say that the order came really quickly, and the Pho was absolutely delicious…maybe the best we’ve ever had! I’m really looking forward to trying additional dishes from Mays Vietnamese!“

“A Vietnamese kitchen in the Marlin Cove center in Foster City, open seven days, ten to twenty dollars a head. The pho is the base order, and the bun bo hue, the crispy egg rolls, and the grilled pork plates fill out the rest of the menu. The fresh fruit smoothies are worth adding, soursop and avocado among them. Thank you for feeding the neighborhood. Five stars.“

“Chicken Pho You is a small hole in the wall restaurant right along Broadway in Millbrae. Super convenient parking, and it was quite busy during the morning hours!
They have a few breakfast sets to choose from, and they're all very reasonably priced. I ended up getting the satay beef noodle, a classic Cantonese dish. There was a good amount of beef, and it delivered flavor wise!“

“I find this particular spot to be much more preferable than the Westlake location. While I've enjoyed better Pho at other establishments, what truly makes me appreciate this place is their remarkable speed, exceptional efficiency, and surprisingly affordable prices. This makes it a very convenient choice whenever I'm in need of a quick and casual dinner or lunch with friends. Unfortunately, parking is a definite challenge.“

“I’ve been here before and it’s so good, in my humble opinion. You can also see “Ryder park” if you take the long way around, and go to the one in foster city. My mom used to work here. Don’t harm anyone, especially immigrant women! Or else, you’ll have to watch out for “la llorona” and “Bloody Mary” and other “venenas” according to the hbo max tv show. Not everyone is gonna be nice like the “los espookys” people. I don’t even know what “fantasmas” is about, because I haven’t watched it yet.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“My favorite dessert spot ever. You will have to see the amount of points in my reward account to understand my love for this store. Whenever I walked in the store, the coconut milk fragrance brought me right back to Vietnam. Chè is my fav dessert, so I am so happy that this store make chè in a pretty authentic way to make me feel less homesick.

This exact Bambu in Milbrae is my fav. I think they make the dessert better than the other location near Stonestown Galleria in SF. My go-to order is number 10 Bambu Special or something like that. The chewy pandan jelly and the red water chestnut jelly in number 10 is the best combo 🤤🤤“

“I think the location just opened at @SFO International Terminal G and what a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast. We had their Brunch Box with pork, 2 fried eggs, small salad, spicy fish sauce and rice…all for $10.99! With this quality food and great customer service the SFO location will be a success for sure! @SFO @Asian Box“

“Best service and congeniality! Loved our crispy tofu bun mee sandwich!!!! perfection! This is a MUST EAT spot on the Filmore or when flying out or into sfo. Thank you again for your service and delicious over the top food-dont forget the crispy sweet potato fries! Yum.“
