38 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Castro Valley

“Came here after a long drive and the pho was exactly what I needed, broth was super rich and flavorful. The place is small and kinda casual but the lady working was so sweet and patient while I figured out what to order. Ended up also trying the spring rolls and they were fresh and crunchy, totally worth it. Already planning my next trip back cause im craving that soup again.“

“Really good !!! My kids love this place“

“Very solid tofu banh mi (heavy on the veggies but i’d rather extra than not enough) and delicious shrimp summer rolls. I wish their peanut sauce was thicker as it was kind of giving peanut dressing versus sauce, but nonetheless still tasty.“

“i love this family owned restaurant. I go so much the owner gave me a discount! the service is incredible the food is fresh and tasty the atmosphere is welcoming I love this place“

“My BF lived in Oakland for a couple of decades and never been here; so we thought we’d give it a try. Seems quite authentic, though we couldn’t quite stomach the fermented pork sausage. The fried version was good of course. Jeo Pa Dach was excellent, as was the quail. We’ll come back to try other dishes! It’s a small, simple, no frills restaurant.“

“GreT food and good service. Prices good too.“

“Had the banh mi with grilled pork, and a Thai ice tea. The sandwich was tasty and the ingredients were fresh. It was the perfect size, at a good price. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. Since it's only 100 ft from the iron horse trail, it's a great place to stop for a break on a longer ride or walk. Added bonus is the bike rack in viewing distance from the cafe.“

“I had The Combo Pho and took a Combo Bahn Mi to go.. Both very good and the bread for the bahn Mi was fresh. Also had a Thai Tea very good!“

“The ultimate dining experience ❤️“

“Wow the pho is legit. Broth is flavorable with the right spices. Portion size was good for the price of the bowl. My friend (also Vietnamese) got the garlic noodle dish and it was spot on. Will be coming back to try other authentic dishes.“

“I ordered here last week for my whole family. They made their meat so soft compared to other restaurants. Also, they have excellent customers service. They all are very nice and friendly. I only tried Grill Porks and Shrimps Vermicelli. I’ll definitely come to try noodle soup next time. I highly recommend this restaurant. ❤️🥰🍲🍛🥢🍴“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, was provided excellent service and hospitality, and the food was amazing.“

“1combo Sandwich $8.00 and 2 fried spring rolls 3.00
Very good prices for the year 2026 and very tasty
As a Vietnamese myself the Flavors were as expected, A very good baseline if you want to introduce someone to the Banh mi( sandwich)
and Fried springrolls“

“The food here was phenomenal!! Our order was taken by the restaurant grandpa, and he was the sweetest. He literally walks away, and two minutes later, our food is at our table. The broth was delicious. Some of the best we have had around this area. And then best part is, it was affordable.“

“Overall food experience is 5/5 Great customer service. Generous portions for it's value. Great aesthetics it was newly renovated - comfy dining chairs and clean restrooms. The owner was very approachable and she really love the community.“

“I cannot begin to express the quality of this place. Pricing is average . 15 $ a plate great appetizers. But guys the vegetable soup and chicken noodle soup were how can I say this..... I have been looking for a place that tastes like gramas cooking and this is itt!!!! Everything carefully wrapped with precision and the toppings are so amazing. And if you speak Spanish , Los CALDOS ESTAN MARAVILLOSOS. FRESCOS LOS RECOMIENDO.. AND ONLINE ORDERING WAS EASY ,FAST , AND SO YUMMY . THEY ARE OPEN ON NEW YEARS ... WILL BE OUR GO TO FROM NOW ON . 100/100“

“Dropped in for some pho and really enjoyed the meal. The service was really great and friendly. Pho- quite delicious. I liked the quality of the goods, the mint and thai basil leaves were very impressive, so fresh and HUGE and tasted great. This place also served their bowls with limes which is funny because I've seen it becoming rarer, where lemons are being substituted and I'm the former so I appreciated that. The cuts of meat were these nice long strips, high quality.

I also got a banh xeo and that things was awesome. Whoever cooked it did so perfectly... nice crunch on the rim, juicy interior. The batter has coconut milk, so each bite is so flavorful. This was my favorite dish. Again, high quality meats and veggies, and huge! Good stuff. Also their coffee has a great condescended milk to coffee ratio, super sweet and rich yum“

“Great service.. The best Pho I’ve tasted.. The garlic fried rice delicious..“

“The best bahn mi I've had in as long as I can remember! I ordered one with tofu and an order of the Buddha rolls, and both were delicious. There were so many different flavors in the bahn mi and the Buddha roll. The bread was fluffy and crispy on the outside without cutting the roof of your mouth.

Highly recommend!“

“Great place to have a hot noodle soup. Their special rice noodle dishes are the bomb.
They have complementary hot water and hot tea that is self serving. Plenty of room for seating and also very clean. Mostly no waiting time. Plenty of parking“

“This place has good food, but they really do need to focus on cleaning up the area where you eat! All the tables were filled with crumbs from people eating and the floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a week and none of the staff seemed to care about it. They were busy on their phones instead of tidying up the place.“

“This is yet one of the best Vietnamese Restaurants in the Bay Area. The Pho and Bun Bo Hue is truly authentic. 👍😋“

“I love the broth!!!! I can tell that you must have braised the broth forever since the broth was so good. I was busy each time my husband wanted to take me so I asked him to buy to go. OMG a I opened the door coming home to smell Pho all over my home. It felt as if I was at the restaurant. The aroma was pho-Ing good!!! The meat was pho-tastic.and I love the huge volume of onions and fresh tasking ginger in every bite. If you love pho or if you love noodles or if you love food, then you must visit this Pho Thin Ha Noi - pho-ing good.“

“The sate beef noodle here…..let em tell ya….i could give 10+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I can. It just so good that I got so addicted. lol everytime im down to San Leandro. Pho An Hoa is the spot for me. And the staffs here are supper nice, friendly and funnie as well. Highly recommended! Thank you so much!“

“First time here and they have a unique menu. Meet the owners & they were chill. Found out they got a location in SF too. I got the Viet Coffee with Coconut condensed milk... it hits like A1. Also got the Special (Dac Biet) Sandwich... and it Smacked! Will definitely be back to try the more unique fusion sandwiches like the Kare Kare one.“

“Great stuff! Chinese Vietnamese style pho served with a ginger scallion sauce which really makes the dish. You can pick from 4 different kinds of noodles.

Boneless Chicken Noodle ($15.99) - Shredded chicken for the lazy customers! Broth tasted pretty good.“

“Great food and portion, worker was also very attentive and somehow knew I wouldn’t want the tea and gave me ice water before I even asked. Unlucky about the exploitation of the workers as they are great, hopefully they get their fair share from the trial since they deserve it“

“Have been here a few times already and everything is consistently delicious. Thought it was about time for a review! Most recently, I ordered the pho ga (chicken pho) just as it is and it was flavorful, full of good size chicken pieces, ample noodles, and the broth was perfect. Toppings on the side were plentiful (basil, lemon, sprouts, etc.). I also ordered a soda chanh (lemon soda) and some spring rolls. Again, never an issue with the freshness or quantity provided. Just loved it and highly recommended you pay this restaurant a visit if you're in Union City and are seeking a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant. While I haven't tried the other meat/rice dishes they offer (since I typically only ordered pho), my other family members have and will attest that they are made well and are of sizeable portion. Also, the family that runs this place is always kind and efficient. Thank you so much!“

“Im a big fan of their Phò, grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and their pastries . The staffs and owner Alice are very attentive and go their way to know their customers/guests. I highly recommend La Patisserie“

“What a gem! It's such an awesome place! I've tried their Thai iced tea with honey Boba, their FRESH spring rolls are so delicious! The pho we had were the brisket pho and vegetable pho!! Both are so fresh and delicious! Good service and chill atmosphere! Im becoming a regular! Writing this, im craving it!!!“

You should definitely come and experience it for yourself!“
