32 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Del Mar

“We arrived at this restaurant right when it opened for the evening and barely managed to get a table because it was fully booked. As we dined, the place quickly filled up, and the wait time nearly reached an hour. The restaurant's popularity is evident, so it's wise to make reservations in advance. The acclaim is well-deserved, though, as the food was very good, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.“

“Everything was delicious! We had the bone in short rib pho, shrimp spring rolls, BUN THIT NUONG and chili tamarind wings. The wings were my fave, so crispy and the flavor was amazing! The rib is huge and you get a very generous portion of meat. Will definitely be back to try more items! Also the yuzu lemonade was very refreshing. Ask for TRINITY when you go, she gave us excellent service!“

“I love each and everything at this place. It is located inside a beautiful southeast inspired market. The waitress who took our order gives welcoming vibes and takes care of us dearly. I will go back here again. I haven't tried everything but the chicken is really yum.“

“Don’t order with your eyes because you won’t finish… trust me, it’s that good! They have to have the “best” Viet BANH CUON (steamed rice rolls) in town! Also the best BANH Mi Chao (Beef, sausage, meatball, eggs, and French roll skillet) for a great value too! I will most definitely come back again …and I live 30 minutes away in East Chula Vista! I highly recommend. 5 STARS!!!“

“Photastic dining experience! The Best ever. Great service and timely in food preparation. The place to enjoy Pho in all of San Diego 5 stars review.“

“Literally the best broth I have ever eaten. If you like pho, then you need to come to Xin Chao. The food is fresh, affordable and most importantly delicious. YOU have to try the Beef broth--to die for.“

“Fast service. Fresh Vegetables & delicious foods. Grilled & BBQ Kobe & Pork are to die for. Egg rolls are tops.“

“The food was fresh, the portions were bigger than I expected. Arrive was quick and friendly. My son enjoyed his rare steak pho and (delicious!) coconut snowbubble. The shrimp spring rolls were light and fresh. The popcorn chicken was so-so (not as spicy as I expected). The restaurant atmosphere was modest, functional, and clean. The value of this meal was very high.“

“Food is delicious with great affordable prices. Definitely worth the drive.“

“More than just a Bahn mi shop. Cali Baguette is an authentic Vietnamese eatery. Besides an amazing selection of sandwiches (btw you can actually smell the fresh baguettes being baked!) There is a multitude of snacks, drinks and desserts! The service and very warm hospitality are just as impressive as the food 👍 I will definitely be back again AND again!“

“They have great vegetarian options and I haven’t been disappointed with a single dish. Very delicious!“

“2nd time this week eating there. Nice, cozy place, great food, great service. High recommended.“

“I loved their manu, easy to read (clear display) and price- friendly! of course the food is very good!“

“I love this place, i always get the Vietnamese coffee with ube, and its so good. The spam masubis and macarons are really good as well. Overall, a great place for drinks and dessert. The only thing I will say is that the bathrooms are ok to use but could be more cleaner“

“As a gluten free person, I ordered the chicken fried rice with no soy sauce and no oyster sauce, and a passion fruit boba tea with no sugar (which tasted totally normal). I talked to a man on the phone before going and he said that the chicken fried rice was gf with no soy sauce, breading, wheat, or anything, but when I got there the server and manager had a bit of a harder time understanding me but we managed to come up with it being safe without those two sauces. I'm not celiac, but they did say they would take extra caution when preparing it. It tasted great even without any sauces on it.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free- the communication was difficult but we figured it out“

“I love Vietnamese food, I am the biggest fan, I accidentally found this place the other day I went to better Buzz coffee and it's right behind it on Miramar road Not very far from the UTC Mall, I bought a Vermicelli dish with egg rolls, chicken pork, excellent.
When you walk in the place smells beautiful fresh food wonderful, It doesn't smell like chemicals like many other restaurants, Kris helped me out, She speaks perfect English, fun to talk to, It's a family-owned business, I highly highly recommend this restaurant, I truly look forward to going back, The only thing I would say is I would like to portion to be maybe a little bit bigger but besides that the taste was perfect.

Parking: More than enough parking“

“Good pho, 3.5/5. Really enjoyed the broth flavor, pretty good fresh noodles, meat was a bit sub par extra chewy texture and fat around edges. Given the hefty price per bowl, and restaurant name, should improve quality of meat served.“

“Excellent banh mi, but so much more: incredible, stoked fusion food. Bahn Mi tacos, fries, breakfast burritos and crazy, fantastic salt and pepper wings. Anything you grew up with had a San Diego taco shop, but with Vietnamese spin and great service. You can't go wrong here.“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“This is a small hole in the wall gem. The sandwiches are around six bucks ! When was the last time you got a made to order flavorful sandwich with all the fixings for that price ? The super pleasant stuff was fantastic . We tried their spring rolls and other steamed rice cakes . I heart this joint and can’t wait to come back for the catering“

“Sipz Vegetarian Fusion Café in Clairemont is DELICIOUS! And ALL vegetarian! That’s right none of this is meat!! BBQ Chicken Appetizer and Tangy Orange Protein: "Chicken" Spice Level: Not Spicy (I forgot to take pictures before starting to eat sooo they give you more than what’s in the photos 🤣) You can even customize which type of protein you want and spice level so you get what you really want! And it is SO yummy!! I haven’t had Chinese in SO long!! ❤️“

“I came here for dinner today. the food was delicious and worth the wait. the restaurant looked nice with the murals and the aquarium at the entrance. the workers were nice, too. they let you bring your egg roll sauce in a plastic container to take home, too. I would pretty much go here again!“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“The pho was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had—rich, aromatic broth that was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to perfection, soaking up all that deliciousness.“

“Second time here and the place was packed! QR code ordering makes the process easier and the food arrived in a timely manner. The Banh xeo crepe was crispy, tasty and very large. It is accompanied by a generous stack of fresh lettuce leaves, perilla leaves, and mint. The marinated pork was a little underseasoned but thankfully not overly salty. My kids enjoyed their pho but my son’s dac biet bowl only had a few small pieces of tendon.The dining room is a bit stuffy and a little untidy but even with the electronic ordering, there were still some staff members walking around to assist with requests.“

“Had the Pho and a few different bahn mis now. The pho is excellent, heavy on the aromatic spices in the broth. The only place I’ve ever seen give you raw beef on the side when you order it to go as well. (What’s the point in rare beef pho if the beef has been cooking for 20 minutes on the way home!).“

“Best soup in town, 12/10!!! If you are recovering from any type of illness, their soups do just the trick (angelic wolfberry and wonton especially). The broth is so fresh and you can tell it’s home made - without all the extra sodium and oils.“

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“

“I was craving pho and I found this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Many of the reviews raved about the Pho Filet so I had to try it out. Who doesn't love filet mignon? The broth was tasty and the meat was good. The bowl was a bit smaller as you can see on the length of the standard napkin in the picture.

Service was decent, but who goes to a pho place for service? The restaurant is a bit smaller, but I went at a time when it was not as busy. I would come back and try the other menu items when I am back in the area!“

“Tofu fresh spring rolls are delicious! Also the pho is very tasty.“

“Food was really good! We ordered the salmon with broccoli, marinated olives and a delicious salad. The fish was seasoned so well and it tasted very fresh! Salad was very crisp and had a good flavor. We had a beautiful view of the ocean while we were eating our meal! Our server was very nice and was able to assist with our food sensitivity to dairy. So, the chef was able to delete butter and used oil instead to prepare our meal. They were very accommodating; which we appreciated very much!“

“The pho is always good and they give pretty big portions. I've tried the banh mi once too and it was huge and unbeatable for the price. Great place to stop if you're by UCSD and they stay open pretty late which is convenient. The workers are always so nice too!“
