50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Fremont

“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 have tried the pho and beef stew at both the Fremont and the San Jose location, and while they were fine, neither really stood out to me.

The standout is the 1/2 chicken with crispy rice and a fried egg. When the Fremont location first opened, I felt the portion size was noticeably smaller than at the San Jose location. However, I returned about a week ago and was pleasantly surprised by how generous the serving had become. It’s easily large enough to share or take home for another meal.

The crispy rice had the perfect texture, the fried egg was jammy, and the chicken was flavored well. The sauce leans slightly sweeter than savory, but I found it worked really well.

To finish the meal, they served a complimentary slice of their green waffle. My mom and I enjoyed it so much that I asked if they sold them separately and ended up buying a whole one to go.

One thing to keep in mind is that this location closes between 2:00-5:00PM. As someone who prefers eating an early dinner, I’ve wanted to stop by several times only to realize they were closed, so plan accordingly.“

“This family run neighborhood Vietnamese restaurant is well run. It offers 71 menu item in appetizers, pho, sandwiches and rice plates. The prices are reasonable given the portion sizes. The restaurant is well lit, airy and has an open kitchen design. Staff is friendly and efficient. It has long hours, open till midnight.“

“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.

“Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this amazing gem of a restaurant! It is fantastic in every way. Peaceful, clean, kind, generous, DELICIOUS. Worth a drive even!

They are going on vacation for the summer. Come in for happy hour before they leave for a month! They have beers for $2.50.“

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

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

“First timers! Bahn Mi's were so good! customer service was very courteous, and quick. Food was delicious, portions were worth the price. Soups looked amazing also!“

“I work nearby and googled “Bahn mi near me” and found this highly rated place. The line was out the door a little before noon and someone called them a “staple go-to of Union City” and told me you have to get there early.

I got a sandwich and spring rolls for like $16 total and I’m used to paying like $20-25 at other places“

“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!“

“A great asset for Pleasanton amidst the countless Chinese, Indian and Sushi places. Burmese cuisine is flavorful and delicious, the owners are great hardworking people and they have a full bar. My all time favorite for casual bites, take friends and colleagues for a meal. Glad to have them in our hometown.“

“Excellent service and food“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I recently dined at Pho Saigon and ordered the large beef pho, chicken with rice, and fried rice with shrimp. The dishes were served hot, the portions were good size and the service was quick and courteous. There was also ample seating, which made the visit comfortable. However, I observed a staff member using same set of gloves after cleaning tables, handling the register, and serving 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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

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

“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. 👍😋“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

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

“Fast and friendly service. Always a pleasant experience“

“This is one of the better Vietnamese restaurant. They offer wide variety of Vietnamese food.
I like their short ribs the best. And their big bone short ribs pho is also very good.
But I liked the soup base in their pho noodle. And they give you a good portion for the price that you're paying.
It has high CP.
To avoid long line, go either before lunch hours or after.“

“Dakao sandwiches has been around for over 30 years maybe 40. Decor is probably original. Anyway banh mi sandwiches are generally good. Expect to pay 7 dollars for a standard banh mi. They use a 10 inch narrow baguette. Filling is ok but uneven. Buy 2 and it's still less than what you would pay for a sandwich from a deli or sandwich shop.“

“Loveddddd it! 💚

Had the Iced Strawberry Matcha with the seasonal Banana Foam on top.

If you’re having decision fatigue and want something that will definitely be good, order this. The sweet, tangy strawberry complemented the matcha perfectly without overpowering it (make sure to mix it well)

The banana foam was creamy, delicious, and topped with a cookie crumble that added the perfect finishing touch.
Definitely going to come back to try their other flavors (if I ever get over this)“

“This is our favorite com tam place in the area! The shrimp cake in the com tam here is sooo good! It's very moist while the outside is perfectly crispy.

The service here is amazing. They're always looking out for us and our baby, picking the best table in the restaurant for us and our stroller. We love the variety of their menu, too. They have pho, banh khot, phnom penh hu tieu, and I heard the lady say she also has banh hoi! Sooo good, I feel like this place will go viral.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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 😃“

“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“

“Delicious noodle soup. Great service!“

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

“Pretty good veggie pho. I think the spring rolls were my favorite though.

Great service in a clean, comfortable space. The location is convenient and it was easy to find parking. I mean, what more could I ask for after a long day?“

“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.“

“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.“

“It’s always a wonderful experience coming here. We would have eaten at another location further away, but this was an absolutely perfect back up plan idea. The staff is very sweet,kind, and understanding. The food is absolutely amazing. Every time I eat here it hits the spot in the best way possible. They get an A++ if there is such a level/grade.“

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

“Great spot when you are feeling a little sick.different bowls to choose from and combinations.they also have rice plates that are
Good and tasty.
The atmosphere is nice and there is pleanty of parking available.the waiter was very attentive and nice to all the tables within my area.“

“A delicious hidden gem! The staff is super nice and hardworking and the food is truly wonderful. The red curry is exceptional; I’ve traveled around SE Asia and the red curry here can go toe to toe with any I’ve had. I highly recommend Indochine!“
