50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Fremont

“Vi at Fremont Pho Ha Noi was super sweet, she constantly checked on us, and sensed that we prefer spicier sauce as South Asians, she asked whether we would like to have a spicy sauce and we just said yes unanimously! Small things like these make a big difference. And also she asked me whether I'd like ketchup with my chips, and that's super sweet of her. She made everything better about this place. Vi, hope to see you again when we visit the restaurant again!!“

“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.“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“Egg coffee 10/10 , must try!“

“Great food! Love ❤️ all that we ordered. And the bubble teas, too“

“The pho here was delicious bone broth was very flavorful, with a generous amount of meat, and noodles. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful, even made my kiddo a special pho plate free of charge. Highly recommend people to try this place out. We will be returning again when we're around the area.“

“I've been at Pho Queen half a dozen times. I've had the pho, egg noodle soup, banh mi, rice plates, cha gio, and coffee. I think it's among the top 3 Vietnamese restaurants in the East Bay. The best in the Tri-Valley by a big margin. The menu is simple, but very delicious. The owner and cook (named Thuy, I think) is a very sweet and hard working woman. The servers I've experienced have been attentive and eager to please, though not super polished. (The Vietnamese are not known for polished service. My wife and I joke that the lack of refinement is a good sign of authenticity.) I've seen Vietnamese restaurants in the Tri-Valley come and go in the pass 25 years, and I hope this one makes it.“

“I love this restaurant before, because I love to eat anything!“

“Our fave local Bahn Mi spot. If you're in Union City and craving for a Bahn mi, come here. There's eleven sandwich choices. There's a steam table with other hot foods like egg rolls, noodles, Sesame balls with mung bean. They also make fresh spring rolls, yogurt, various desserts and lots of drink choices. Try it, you be happy you did. And of course, support a small business!“

“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!“

“Very good Vietnamese food, very clean, fresh, delicious, with such great, great service! Family style meals! Would recommend to all. Must try all of the other many dishes here asides from always ordering the lettuce wraps with the meat rolls, still can't remember what this dish's name is though I've been told, like, 20 times. Horrible memory. Hot tea is very good too!

I don't think they have pho or bun, just an FYI.

In the Milpitas Center Shopping Mall strip mall with Paris Baguette, Daeho, Jang Su Jang, Grocery Outlet, etc.“

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

“Perfect food for winter. We enjoyed the food. Order the fresh noodle and you will not regret it. So delicious!“

“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.“

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

“I'm currently getting over a cold and needed some hot soup for lunch. I've driven past this place for the past year but never made the effort to come. I decided to change that today. The outside can be a little easy to miss as it's tucked away in an open strip mall, but parking is ample.

I was immediately seated as it was really packed for the lunch hour. The menu isn't huge on variety but in a good way. Too many restaurants try to pack too many items in, but this restaurant knows its identity and what they're good at. They stick to the classic Vietnamese dishes with little to no frills. I ended up with a bowl of beef pho with the rib bone. The food came out surprisingly quick which was excellent for those on a time crunch. The soup was flavorful and hot. They give you a good amount of meat and noodles. Side note - a lot of other pho places have been skimping on noodles lately.

Overall I was really impressed with the level of service and food. I would definitely be back to try other dishes. I was suggested to try the grilled chicken rice dish and the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). The decor is also really cute and trendy with a really laid back vibe. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area for some good classic Vietnamese food.“

“Excellent service and food“

“This place is a fantastic spot for authentic Vietnamese food! The moment I walked in, the cozy atmosphere and the smell of fresh herbs and spices made me feel like I was in Vietnam. I ordered the pho and the spring rolls, and both were amazing—the broth was rich and flavorful, and the rolls were fresh and crispy. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, which is always a win. The staff was friendly and attentive, though the service was a bit slow, probably because it was busy. The only downside was that the place is pretty small, so finding a table during peak hours can be a challenge. Also, the parking situation wasn’t great, so I had to circle around for a bit. But honestly, the food more than made up for it. If you’re craving real Vietnamese flavors, this is the spot!

Vegetarian options: Yes, there are a few vegan options on the menu, like vegetable pho and vegan spring rolls, but the selection isn't huge.“

“Love their food,just need to be more attentive to their customers“

“Fantastic experience at this small quaint mom-and-pop kinda place. The manager/server was kind enough to accommodate all our requests. The taro ube tea (without caffeine) was out of the world! Loved the pad thai, banh-mi, papaya salad too. We will be back again to try the other things on the menu.“

“The service was great along with the explanations of our Pho choices.“

“Great food, definitely going back here to eat with my family!!! 🤙🏼 my kids always eat here!“

“Food is amazing off tops ! But disappointed on customer service from the guy who usually takes orders didn’t get his name but I felt like these last couple times we’ve been there he don’t treat us like he treats his own kind ! & that to me is a No No but overall the place is a great place to eat .“

“Typically a long line to wait in during prime dinner hours but trust me, it is totally worth it. Anything on the menu will taste great but my favorite is the fried fish wrap platter. It's one of the more unique dishes here which I highly recommend! Service is pretty fast and friendly but can get bogged down a bit when packed.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and excellent service. I love their Cho Chi Fish Fillet curry among a bunch of items on the menu.“

“My old job in Jersey asked me to run a project out in Fremont. As i was staying out there for months on end, I came to this restaurant quite often. Always pho and bun bo hue. Amazing flavors. Great service. Can't say anything negative. They were my go to Pho spot.“

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

“Authentic, Delicious, and Unforgettable Hospitality – Cơm Tấm Long Xuyên

If you’re looking for a true taste of Vietnam, Cơm Tấm Long Xuyên is an absolute must visit. The food here is a true representation of Vietnamese street food at its finest. The cơm tấm (broken rice) is cooked to perfection, with perfectly grilled pork and crispy skin that are packed with flavor. The balance of the sweet, savory, and smoky flavors makes each bite a delightful experience.

What sets this place apart, though, isn’t just the food: it’s the hospitality. The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, always making sure that every customer feels at home. Each time I’ve visited, I’ve been treated like family, and it really adds to the overall experience.

I’ve been coming here for years, and every time is just as satisfying as the last. It’s rare to find a spot that combines such high quality food with a genuine, personal touch. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’re guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face and a full belly.

Highly recommend!“

“Very authentic flavorful broth every time I have been here. Good portions of meat too. It’s my go to for pho and other authentic dishes. I always get the #7 so good 😃“

“Food and service are both top notch. Will definitely come back/order again. We had a wonderful chat with the servers and owner here and they really made me feel the warmth of a community. They were about to close but didn’t interrupt our conversations just because they felt that we were having a good time. It’s hard to meet real humans these days! (I will be more mindful of time!) 10/10“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“I've ordered 3 dishes tonight, Banh Khot, Eggs Rolls and Bun thit Nuong. I'm very impress, the food was good. I would recommend you give them a try. Thanks for satisfying our tummies.“

“The best bahn mi ever.
This is one of the few restaurants that sell grilled beef bahn mi . Absolutely delicious!!!
Their tofu bahn mi is also high on my list!!!

Not only does this restaurant make bahn mi, but they offer hot entrees, like noodle soup and rice dishes.
The eggrolls are delicious.
There is seating for about 20 people.
Canned drinks and juices are available, as
Are freshly made smoothies and boba tea..
Oh yeah, and the prices for the bahn mi are incredible. $6.00- $7.50 depending on what you order.
Service is fast.. atmosphere - okay.
More like a hole- in- the - wall restaurant, but a memorable hole- in - the- wall!!!“

“Amazing Vietnamese coffee and a sandwich - hit the spot! I wondered why the ratings were mixed and asked at the counter, they told me this was new ownership and it makes sense! They went above and beyond. Place is very clean and staff is friendly“

“Discovered this gem while searching for a bite to eat after a quick stop at UPS. The experience was a pleasant surprise! The Pho was like a warm hug on a cold day—richly flavorful, generously portioned, and absolutely satisfying. They also offer free water and your choice of warm or cold tea, which adds a nice touch. Plus, there’s no mandatory tip, making it feel even more welcoming. An awesome find that I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Everybody's favourite hole in the wall Vietnamese joint when everywhere else is closed. Which is, ya know, 9 pm in these parts. They offer a few Filipino and Thai dishes as well. This place is always busy and you never leave hungry. It is a bit loud in here because of the TVs, though.“

“I came here very often in the past and before busy with my new career. I came back and got my favorite banh mi and coconut drink dessert. The best combo for me. Not include the owner is so nice and lovely.“

“The best papaya salad n Jicama n beef! I never seen Jicama beef in any Vietnamese or Thai restaurant!“

“The best pho / Vietnamese place in the area. We stumbled upon this cute place en route home and loved the food. Super quick service, fresh delicious food, polite, caring host & server who took her time to explain the dishes. Even though we entered to sit & eat right at about closing time, service was amazing!

Vegetarian options: Not too many vegetarian options“

“This food was so spot on! No beef, chicken is their protein. Don't come in asking for red meat. The chicken is tasty and the soup is so good! Also the homemade sauce for the chicken is an awesome taste! We'll be back for sure!!“

“A quiet little corner of this lot lies a treasure trove of pho like none other. The silk smooth noodles the thin-strips of beef, the green onions cilantro, bean sprouts perfect. The beef broth alone is the perfect savory goodness that recharges a body good after a long, exhausting day. The staff were charming and friendly! It's worth your hard earned money for an amazing bowl of pho.“

“I've gone to this location once, and the interior was very nice. I wasn't expecting it to be so big!! I ordered the vegetarian pho, it came with lots of noodles and vegetables. The broth had good flavor, it tasted good with the 2 sauces at the table. I am not a pho fan, but was surprised because this was past my expectations. Price was decent, it was $18. I believe the portions could be for 2 people because there was a lot but it depends how hungry you are.“

“Food was delicious- ordered their special #1 pho, spicy noodle soup and chicken wings. Also tried their halo halo dessert and kumquat sugarcane- so good! Service was great- very attentive and friendly! Dishes were good so ordered another pho and grilled pork rice combo to go.
Will definitely come back!“

“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“

“Drinks! Smash Avacado is a must! Yummy!“

“This is a perfect place to hangout after Zumba and ujam in Saturday welcoming Fall! Come on down and experience the sweet treats. No regrets!“

“Our new baguette place in San Jose“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“
