34 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Del Mar

“Our first meal at this fine dining Vietnamese restaurant was the best Vietnamese meal we've had in San Diego. My wife and I found this gem by accident, but we'll definitely return whenever we're in northern San Diego. Good selection of wine, and don't forget to order the braised chicken :)“

“The pho was amazing! I honestly don’t like pho that much, but this place has a unique broth and huge portions. The drinks are super authentic, too! The servers, Trinity and Kevin, are super friendly and kind. I recommend this place.“

“We really enjoyed our meal here! The Pho Nom was my favorite, the broth tasted rich and authentic, and the portion was very generous. The broken rice, chicken wings, and spring rolls were all delicious too. A special thanks to James, who was so attentive and helpful throughout our meal. We’ll definitely come back!“

“My one and only place for ordering party trays. Their food is absolutely delicious and their customer service is just amazing. Highly recommended !!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“The greeting at the door was nice, the vibe is nice and warm, the food's good and tasty, they've got a big menu, the staff is attentive, service is fast, restrooms are clean. I'll be coming here often for the great pho special.“

“With 10 eateries in this tiny strip mall on a main road, you have a lot of choices. Choose this place. Fast friendly service. Great food at reasonable prices. Large portions. Want it mild? No problem. Like it spicy 🔥 they do that too.“

“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!! ❤️“

“My wife and I got the hu tieu and com tam suon bi cha. Easily the best we’ve had so far in socal. Very good price and easy parking, the rice also comes with 2 pork chops which is crazy good for its price. And the sugar cane coconut drink was refreshing during this heat wave. Would definitely come back here again“

“Came here for lunch with my parents, and we had a good experience! The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and the atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Our server was Tom. He was friendly and provided good service.

We started with the BBQ Pork Spring Rolls (Goi Cuon Thit Nuong) for appetizer and they were absolutely delicious. The pork was juicy, tender, and flavorful, and the peanut sauce paired perfectly with it.

For our main dishes, we ordered the Grilled Chicken Rice Plate (Com Ga Nuong) and the Hanoi-Style Vermicelli with Grilled Pork Patties (Bun Cha Ha Noi). The chicken rice plate came with a generous portion, and the chicken was tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The Bun Cha Ha Noi was the highlight of the meal! The grilled pork patties were incredibly juicy, tender, and full of smoky flavor.

Our favorite dishes were the Bun Cha Ha Noi and the Goi Cuon Thit Nuong. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying.

Overall, this is definitely a hidden gem. We'll be coming back for another meal and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Vietnamese food with family or friends!“

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

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

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

“This is our favorite new neighborhood restaurant. Max was helpful with recommending the chicken wings as a starter. The Rib Eye Pho and Rib Bone Pho were amazing. We’ve also enjoyed the calamari on a previous visit. Abi was helpful in keeping our drinks replenished. All the staff create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, which will keep us coming back for years to come.“

“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.“

“Tim Ky Noodle in Mira Mesa is definitely worth checking out! The food was delicious, flavorful, and fresh, especially the noodle soup. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was also clean and comfortable. I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a delicious bowl of noodles in Mira Mesa! 🍜❤“

“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.“

“Loved my impromptu dine-in experience! I was waiting for my car to be fixed and found Pho Ha Noi on Google since it was a short walk away. The dine-in experience is basic & straight forward - you order at the counter and they bring the food to you when it’s ready.

I tried the grilled shrimp vermicelli noodle bowl and an iced Vietnamese coffee to-go. The server was very friendly & efficient and the food was delicious! I loved the pickled vegetables, the veggies were fresh, and the shrimp was sautéed with perfectly crisp/golden garlic & onions. I would definitely eat here again since I’d like to try a tofu dish 😊“

“A fantastic sandwich for a fantastic price. The veggies are always plentiful and fresh. Could there be more meat? Sure, but for $6.25 per special combination really can’t complain. It’s perfect for the price. I can’t recommend their coffee though, it’s more bitter and burnt tasting than most Vietnamese places.“

“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.“

“Best Vietnamese restaurant I've ever tried without a doubt. Each dish we tried was flavorful, tender, and shockingly good. We ordered bbq pork springrolls, filet pho, and filet rice and were impressed with each. Filet rice was probably my favorite. Abundant parking, sweet staff, and quick fulfillment of to-go order as well. Cucumber water was a nice touch while waiting. Feel very fortunate to live by this place and can't wait to go back. The reviews should be much higher. The other Vietnamese restaurants I've tried on Mira Mesa Blvd and beyond don't compare.“

“Definitely worth the stop! $6.95 banh mi!!!

I did not try the Pho. In my defense, I was on a motorcycle and taking the food to go... The banh mi did not disappoint for the price!

Only 4 stars because I have sensitive gums, the baguette was tough against that!“

“I came for lunch, we were seated quickly and we got the food really fast after we ordered. The staff were friendly and attentive too :)
We both got pho and it was delicious, the broth was flavorful and the noodles were nice too.

At other places I've had bland broth and noodles that are stuck together but that wasn't the case here :)

10/10 recommend! <3“

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

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“

“I come here once a week from El Cajon Ca. to buy the keto vietnamese iced coffee. It's so delicious and made perfect every time. Staff is very friendly and polite.
I just wish they would sell keto chocolate chip cookies☺“

“We ordered a tray of their yummy bahn Cuon. Super tasty! It came with the bahn cuon, Vietnamese meat, vegetables, herbs, and sauce. I’m very happy with the order, I would definitely order from them again.FYIWhen you go in to the restaurant there is a bell on the counter. If not one is there make sure you ring it in order to get their attentions.“

“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.“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“Unexpectedly amazing - heard it was delicious, but then read some poor reviews, but went anyway. Ended up going twice in one week cause I liked it so much. Highly recommend eating in as the vibe is great, good drink menu and the food was even better fresh on the table. FAST too, if you're in a hurry. Favs are the Pad Thai and Pad See Ewe for me.“

“Pho La Jolla is easily one of our favorite restaurants in La Jolla, and a place we keep coming back to. What makes it special is not just the quality of the food, but also the consistency and the genuinely welcoming atmosphere.

The pho is absolutely delicious, and the broth is what really makes it stand out. It is incredibly flavorful, rich, and comforting. You can appreciate the depth of flavor in every spoonful, and it is honestly one of those dishes that makes you look forward to your next visit.

Another thing we really appreciate is the consistency. Every time we visit, we know we can expect the same great quality. That reliability is something I value tremendously in a restaurant, especially when combined with such good service.

The staff is always kind and attentive, and the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming. There is something very pleasant about visiting a restaurant where you feel comfortable, enjoy the food, and are treated with genuine kindness.

Overall, Pho La Jolla is a wonderful example of how great food, consistency, and excellent service can make a restaurant stand out. It has become one of our regular spots, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an excellent bowl of pho in San Diego.“
