47 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Los Altos

“Pho & Banh Mi has launched a new brunxh buffet alongside their regular menu, and it’s such a fun concept if you’re craving a mix of American and Vietnamese flavors!

For $18.95 there’s pastries, fresh fruit, fresh-squeezed juices, coffee, scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, breads, and even a make-your-own pho station (note: only chicken pho is available for this).

The pho station is a nice touch—you get your own noodles and can build your bowl fresh. The pastry section has croissants, chocolate pastries, sandwiches, pancakes, and more. There’s also a good spread of fresh fruit and healthy options if you want something lighter.

The outdoor seating area is cozy with greenery and white tablecloths, making it a nice spot to enjoy a relaxed brunch!“

“This is the only place you can eat top notch Vietnamwss food in a cabin atmosphere! So cute, cozy and comfortable.

We ordered:
Pho combo -generous on the good meat
Lemongrass Chicken and shrimp rice - wow the grilled shrimp. Will order again definitely.
Spring rolls - great! Has peanut sauce
Egg rolls - solid
Chicken salad. - huge portion. Only thing is chicken a little tougher than I like.

Overall excellent food. Didn't expect such high quality vietnamese food in Los altos. Will come back. Thank you.“

“Excellent (American) Vietnamese pho, wide variety of meats, noodles and rolls, and coffees. Excellent quality, served hot or cold for just $$ . Capacious interior, for groups or individuals, without crowding even when busiest.
Friendly, attentive and quick service.“

“Highly recommended yummy yummy“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“Was in Sunnyvale for a convention and went hunting for a little hole in the wall spot… Cam Hung on Reed nailed it.

Grabbed a couple banh mi to go. Bread was fresh with a nice light crunch, veggies still crisp, meat tender and tasty. Simple, real Vietnamese sandwich flavor… very yummy and still priced fair for the Bay.

The shop is my kind of organized chaos. Tiny place, line of people, every inch packed with stuff. Coolers full of basil seed drinks, tamarind tea, Vietnamese coffee… stacks of green and purple jelly desserts, rice cakes, spring rolls, marinated meats to take home. Counter is covered with snacks, candies, steamed buns, random goodies.

Staff was friendly and smiling. Little bit of a language barrier but nothing pointing and nodding could not fix. Place is crowded and parking is tight, and there is a small card minimum, but everything I could see looked clean and well kept, which honestly impressed me with how much they squeeze into that space.

Bottom line… this is exactly the kind of mom and pop shop I look for when I travel. If you want a legit Vietnamese sandwich instead of another chain lunch, Cam Hung is worth the stop.“

“A lovely spot for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food. The dishes are full of flavor and clearly made with care. Portions are just right, and the pricing is more than fair for the quality you get.

The staff are friendly, fast, and attentive, which adds to the overall relaxed and welcoming vibe.

The interior could use some refreshing—the chairs and overall decor feel a bit worn and dated. That said, the experience is still very positive, and the food absolutely makes up for it. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“Friendly. Excellent customer service!“

“I like pho and this places serves it really well!

Got the house special selection large size and it came out really fast. Comes with all the ingredients you would expect from an excellent pho. There were a lot of noodles in there and the broth was super tasty! The beef was also quite enjoyable. I would definitely come back to eat more pho.

Parking: Parking right in front of the door.“

“The BEST PHO ever!! 👌🏻 I ordered the pho with ribs and it’s so good and the broth it’s flavorful with a lot of meat which is high in quality! This place is 40 minutes away from me and I need to beg my husband to take me to this place again coz this pho is the best I’ve ever had! The owner of this restaurant are awesome, they really take good care of their customers and employees! ❤️ The place is clean and the service is awesome too 🫶🏼I hope you guys try the pho, rocket shrimp, spicy hue, tofu rolls, and korean bbq short ribs! You won’t regret it!👌🏻“

“Solid spot for a comforting Vietnamese meal.

My friends who live right across the street highly recommended this place. We stopped in for lunch, and I liked the no-frills, classic Viet diner vibes. The menu had all the usual comforts like spring rolls, pho, and rice plates.

We went for a specialty beef pho and a grilled pork rice combo plate, and both arrived in under 10 minutes. Tasted exactly the way I want them to. Nothing flashy, just hearty, satisfying Vietnamese comfort food done right.“

“This place is a neighborhood gem! We keep coming back to Pho Avenue for its wonderfully fresh and flavorful food in a relaxed, casual setting. The staff is always so welcoming (Vin and Lisa, in particular, are great!), which makes every visit a pleasure.

A huge plus is their dedicated vegetarian menu section, with plenty of delicious and vegan-friendly choices. My go-to order is the #17 Vermicelli Noodle with Tofu. Pro tip: For a little extra, I swap the fried egg roll for their amazing vegetarian summer rolls.

If you’re craving something more spicy, try the #16. White Rice - Chilli Lemongrass Tofu Spicy.

Just a heads-up: parking in the area can be tricky during peak lunch times, but it's always been worth the effort for us. Highly recommend!“

“We wanted a dry noodle so we ordered bun. The pork was cut a little thick so it was chewy. The shrimp flavor was okay as well as the cha gio. I wish there were more combinations of meat but I guess that is not their strength. I liked that the noodles were warm and the mint made it flavorful.“

“Some of the best Pho and appetizers I’ve had and above all courteous and friendly staff!“

“I ordered three sandwiches (#3 5-Spice pork and #1 Cold Cut + Pate) and one Thai tea, which totaled $46. While it may be off-putting as it is more expensive than the sandwiches in Century Mall, San Jose, though, to be fair, the higher pricing could be due to location, inflation, etc.Food: The sandwich bread is not fluffy or airy like at Duc Huong Sandwiches; it is the type that needs to be eaten right away, as it is hard. As for the meat, it tastes good. Other things to note are that the pickled veggies are a thicker slice, and the taste is very subtle and clean compared to what I'm used to eating. I don't exactly need to worry about the bread getting soggy or have to ask to put the veggies separately. If this is your preference, this could be your next favorite sandwich shop. As for the drink, I wish it were stronger.Service & Cleanliness: Inside the store, it was tidied and not busy (at least on Friday at 4 p.m.). It is a nice place to purchase food to go quickly. They are available on Uber Eats; you can order by speaking with the cashier or using the iPad. The service was excellent, as they even offered to help, which was nice. I would not mind coming back here again.“

“I'm not expert on Vietnamese cuisine, and for that reason this review has to be read with a grain or two of salt.

My two cents is this: the last time I visited here with my lady, we enjoyed new dishes we don't usually get (she ordered a combination fried rice and we also shared another appetizer, their crispy imperial rolls.)

We have been here more than 10-12 times together, and I've also ordered Bahn Mi sandwiches here for lunch many times; yet, we can still share items that we are either familiar with or not, and still consistently enjoy the experience dining in here.

Top notch service most days, reasonable value on pricing, and good food make this place an 11/10 for me.“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“Bbq Chicken- This was absolutely delicious I loved the tenderness, flavour and overall look of my meal.
Interior is overall cozy and clean.
I went home feeling super full and energized.

Bbq chicken (REAL actual chicken; the seasoning 10/10)
Salad 10/10
Rice 10/10 (dry-ish side as I prefer)
Soup 10/10 (simple with pho flavour)

Avocado Smoothie - pretty good! Creamier; has less avocado taste.“

“We went for dinner on a Friday and there was no wait.
We got the Veggie Spring rolls for appetizer - The peanut sauce and the hot suace were great accompaniments.

We wanted to try the Vegetarian Banh Mi but unfortunately they had run out.
We ended up ordering the Pho Chay - Which was served warm and the broth had a really nice umami flavor (a bit on the salty side though). We also got the Bun Chay - Which was alright - It was very similar to the Pho Chay minus the tasty broth.

The surprise of the day was the Sugarcane Juice with Kumquat - It tasted great!!Quantity for price was questionable as it was just filled with ice but the drink tasted great FWIW.

Very generous portions for the entrees and we had leftovers enough for another meal for two.“

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

“service was awesome and the broth was so fresh. the portion was just perfect.“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“My favorites are always the #1 and #2, the best jumbo prawn noodle soup in the Bay Area.

I haven't been eating lunch at Pho Queen for quite a while. It was still clean and bright inside. I was lucky to be seated right away (it took me 30 minutes on my last visit) To my surprise, they still maintain the good services and high quantity of food. The price has gone up to $20 for large bowl of #2. Service was simple, polite and quick. I received my bowl of noodle soup within 5 minutes. As always, the chicken broth is steaming hot and flavorful, with the aroma of garlic, onion, jalapeno, and basil.“

“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.“

“A pretty decent family owned Vietnamese restaurant. It’s been a while we saw traditional dripping coffee, so we really liked it. The taste was authentic.For the food, we ordered one Shrimp spring rolls, one Grilled pork ball spring rolls and one Pho Tai. Pho was decent, the broth was just okay. The other two dishes were good. But, I agreed the price was quite expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I have tried.I think they kinda lack of staff because one lady took the job of waiter + cashier + preparing drinks, one uncle served food and cleaned up tables, and there seemed to be only one chef. Thus, it took a bit of time for food to be served. But, the lady was very nice. She chatted with us for a bit while serving our drinks and during checkout.

Kid-friendliness: Kid’s high chairs and plastic utensils“

“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.“

“The pho soup isn’t really traditional Vietnamese way, but more of a fusion of Mexican street tacos and pho, with a bunch of purple onion and cilantro taking over the broth flavor. It’s kinda like eating a beef taco, but in the form of the soup.“

“A Cozy Spot We Keep Coming Back To

This little Vietnamese place right next to Ace Academy has quickly become our go-to after summer camp. After a long day of learning and running around, my kids always ask to come here and honestly I’m just as excited every time.

The space has a warm and cozy feel with a forest-inspired vibe. Even though they don’t take reservations, we’ve never had to wait long. They also have high chairs which is super helpful when we’ve got the whole crew with us.

My daughter calls it a hidden gem and she’s not wrong. The egg rolls are perfectly crispy and the combination chicken banh mi is our top pick. It’s packed with flavor and always hits the spot. The pho is also great especially on days when we’re craving something warm and comforting.

It’s the kind of place that just feels easy and welcoming. Good food, relaxed atmosphere, and happy kids. We’re big fans.“

“I ate Vietnamese no. 11 oakstaila d beef balls this morning. yummy“

“We shouldn't always go off of the reviews. There was a review that wasn't too long ago that said this place wasn't good. I went today for the first time in the food I had the Pho. It was actually very tasty fresh. Customer service was good. I will go again“

“Food was very good, this was my first time eating a Bahn mi sandwich, it had lots of meat & veggies and was flavorful, the sandwich was made very quick. Oh and the bread was soft on the inside/ crunchy on the outside, I will be coming back thank you!“

“I like the ambience and enjoy the cuisine. Bring back lots is nostalgia!“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“My favorite pho ga. You know it's good when it doesn't need to be meddled with. The broth bursts with great flavor content. Best thing, they don't use msg! No bloat, no headache. Maybe just a little bit more thirsty, likely from the sodium content. They attain maximum flavor, but I'm a simple girl. Most if not all of their staff is vietnamese so sometimes you'll get a limited response, but to your advantage the food is authentic in that same way. They're super, super kind and service is quick. Place is clean, peaceful. My only complaint is that the spray they use to clean tables off is way too strong and it's a bit unpleasant if it's while you're eating. Otherwise, this is definitely my go-to, without a doubt.“

“Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.

Vegetarian options: Counter style gives you options but ask servers on specific ingredients used

Parking: Stanford University parking system in effect while free parking lots are further situated with the use of free shuttles

Kid-friendliness: Ample options for kid's tastes

Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious seating outdoors but ordering has to be done by counter“

“The vintage DragonBallZ sodas made my day!! The service was fast & the 15min wait for spring rolls was WORTH IT—everything was delicious and they made us smile the whole time. What a neighborhood treasure!

Vegetarian options: spring rolls, egg rolls, & a veg/vegan banh mi option!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan & vegetarian options!

Kid-friendliness: Check out the anime-themed sodas for the kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!“

“Summary: Quick fast food Vietnamese food.

We ordered online and went to pick up. Food was not quite ready but staff were polite and rush it for me.

It was unfortunate they forgot our fish sauce and we couldn’t return to get it. So the overall meal felt incomplete. 🤨

It is running a special this week. $10 of $20 spending. Auto applied via the website.“

“Always have a great day at yummies“

“Servicio,Alimentos suculentos,frescos y agradable. Buen ambiente y acojedor“

“The food was amazing. The service was also great (Tyler served us)“

“The foods are great. Service is good and the place is clean.“

“Healthy options Good price“

“We are vegetarian, and we had such a great meal! They modified the yellow chicken curry with tofu, and they were nice enough to clarify with us that we didn't want fish sauce!

It was really tasty. The flavors were there. Give this place a chance. It's often missed in PA, but we'll be coming back again for the awesome food!“

“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.“

“Best Pho in town. Only place I ever go to get my Chicken Pho“

“the variety of desserts and drinks they offer is incredible, and everything I tried was delicious. I especially loved their bubble tea – perfectly sweetened and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. The atmosphere of the shop is cozy and inviting, perfect for relaxing with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a sweet treat!“
