50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Los Altos

“Food is very good. Banh Mi sandwich is warm and soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Contents are flavored nicely. Chicken salad pretty good. Soups pretty good. Service is very weak. Had to walk up to the counter to ask for some sauces, which were promised but never delivered. An ordered item didn't get entered or delivered. Setting is nice but furniture is falling apart - chair felt like it was going to fail. I may go back, but it could be better.“

“Underrated. Best pho in the area. Best ambience, and generous portions of noodles and beef. Friendly staff. The rice wrap on the spring rolls was fresh and not at all chewy, noodles were the same. Tender beef, not overcooked. Also, slightly cheaper than other places. Rating a 5 because they deserve at least a 4.6. Really enjoyed it.“

““Authentic” is the best word to describe this place, from the food to the staff. I’ve been coming here when I am in the area since a Vietnamese coworker introduced me to it in the 90s.

My go-to dish is the lean beef Pho, but there are many other options including rice and noodle dishes. The service is fast and the pho is delicious.

I try to arrive after the lunch rush since it can be very crowded at peak hours.“

“Highly recommended yummy yummy“

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

“I’ve been looking for a good local bánh mì shop near me for a while. Happy to say that the food here didn’t disappoint. The baguette was fresh, crunchy, and very large. The curry chicken was very good, and the pickled sides were fresh and crunchy.

I also had a Vietnamese drip coffee, and it was well mixed with an excellent ratio of milk to coffee.“

“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!“

“Delicious food, deverse menu, and very fast service. I have nothing to complain about.“

“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.“

“First visit and happily surprised. I had a small combination pho. The amount of meat and the quality was good and the flavor of the broth was delicious. Price is very reasonable and service was quick. I'll definitely be back to try some other dishes.“

“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!👌🏻“

“The bestest pho ! 🍜 ive ever had so far . Although ive tried it for the 5 th time in bay area ,this little restaurant was run by a family i guess and the veggies 🥦 were fresh as it could be ... the glass noodle 🍜 pho was rich in flavours sweet and a bit sour with all the spices blending together .. it not only filled my stomach but it did filled my soul as well ... Definitely coming back .....“

“I had a very good experience at this Thai restaurant overall. I ordered the meatball pho and it was great. The prices were fair for the quality, which makes it a great value.

The service was friendly and attentive, although I have to say the atmosphere of the restaurant wasn’t particularly warm or inviting. Despite that, the good food and solid service made up for it. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

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

“The place is very clean and cozy. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
We tried the crispy pork belly rice and grilled chicken vermicelli — both were delicious!
The pork belly was perfectly crispy outside and juicy inside, while the chicken paired really well with the pickled carrots and daikon.
Rice and noodles were fresh, and the cucumber added a nice crunch.
Good portion, fair price — definitely worth coming back!“

“Standard pho was good. I don't know why the noodles just seemed excellent. Three types of good sri racha on the table. Great selection of beer and wine and coffee and tea. Waiter didn't know the alphanumeric codes for the dishes, but that was okay. Nice clean bathroom and friendly service.“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“A cozy, homely, and warm place with a great menu of delicious Vegan preparations. My wife and I visited quite by chance, and are very glad we did.
We had the Tom Kha soup that sent us to bliss level with right mix of flavorful spices and fiber rich vegetables, along with Tofu. We had the yummy Papaya Salad, Eggplant Tofu and the Vegan Curry, all of which were very well prepared and presented and satiated our taste buds while bringing more vegetable goodness and Tofu along with fake meat where applicable.

The restaurant decor matches the name as well with floral decorations bringing you a happy atmosphere. Very friendly and prompt service, and staff who answer every question.

Located close to Lawrence expressway and 101, it is readily accessible in an uncrowded location. I highly recommend this place. They do catering too. Ask for Hazel.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Big Bites is one of those rare spots that just gets it right. Both my daughter and I love the food here. Everything feels fresh, bright, and clean, from the flavors to the presentation.

Our go-to favorites are the chicken and veggie pho and the banh mi. The ingredients taste vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, and you can tell real care goes into every dish. I am especially looking forward to trying the curry next.

Beyond the food, the service is genuinely warm and friendly. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in, and that makes a big difference.

Highly recommend Big Bites if you are looking for fresh, comforting food made with heart.“

“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.“

“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 just ordered food through DoorDash, so I can’t address the restaurant’s atmosphere, but o will say that the order came really quickly, and the Pho was absolutely delicious…maybe the best we’ve ever had! I’m really looking forward to trying additional dishes from Mays Vietnamese!“

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

“Muoi muoi Coffee(5/5): yummy creamy coffee. They were able to make it less sweet which was great.
Pandan Matcha (5/5): good flavor.

The space is not too big so you may need to wait a bit for a table and avoid large groups.“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“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.“

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

“Food was so delicious, although the portion was a little bit less, and the price was higher almost everything nowadays…the service was just okay. The associate was friendly, smiling, and had a pleasant demeanor, but the usual “Welcome to the Box” was not there, even though there were tons of them working the day of my visit. There was no upselling. There were crumbs and spills on the floors, tables, and counters, but they were focused on chatting to each other. The location had a musty odor, too, and it was dimly lit. But I will be back because of the delicious food.“

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

“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!“

“Always have a great day at yummies“

“Healthy options Good price“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I've patronized several Bambu locations and would share that the Sunnyvale location offers unique and cozy seating areas. On one end it felt like I was sitting under a pagoda. In the middle, there were counter top seating for individual experiences to work/study. On the opposite end was a sit-down gathering area that requests for shoe removal. The fun decor with lanterns, plants, neon light, and television playing calming new age music was inviting.

I ordered the Bambu Special, Bambu Favorite and pandan waffle. All were delicious and delivers nostalgia of desserts I grew up with. I will definitely visit each time I'm back in the area again!“
