50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Mill Valley

“Best Banh mi EVER. Mill Valley location has perfected this sandwich. Good quality meat, portions of each individual ingredient- spectacular. And I'm dying to know what was in their chili oil, it was very unique and flavorful. I get bbq pork but the flavor somehow still feels traditional to a patay. Will be patronizing often, I recommend you do too.“

“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!“

“i’ve never had beef this tender in pho and the soup was full of flavor as well. when we had a problem with the food, they were so quick to make things right without an issue. service was very friendly and we didn’t feel rushed at all. would recommend“

“This is a gem of a place. A small diner, but they know their food. Authentic and inexpensive. Go check them out.“

“We visited Banh Mi Crunch after breakfast at Mimosa's -- my Daughter is a Boba Tea Junky.

The lady serving us was very nice and helpful.

The Thai Milk Iced Tea was pre-mixed (usually a non-starter for me) and was very sweet. Daughter loved it, me not so much. While convenient for the restaurant, feel its better to not have a pre-mixed thai tea so the customer can adjust the level of sweetness.“

“So good 👍🏾 so fresh easy to order !“

“The fall here is incredible and I've been getting it every week for the past 6 weeks to ease my tummy as I have IBS. Sometimes. The pho is a tad on the sweet side, but it is consistent and delightful. The service is always really attentive at the beginning and once you have your food they kind of leave you alone, which I like.

The atmosphere is standard for what you'd expect from a mom and pop Vietnamese pho spot, but a little subpar for my tastes“

“Absolutely. Delicious 😋l😎“

“Food is 🔥🔥🔥. Very flavorful and quick service!“

“I called in about 30 minutes before they were closing. The gentleman on the phone was very polite and professional, he gave me a few recommendations, and even though I don’t eat raw meat, he offered to cook it completely instead. I tried so many soups like this and can definitely say that it was one of the best pho soups I’ve tried in my life. Soooo good! Definitely recommending to try ! Thank you for great service and tasty soup.“

“Ordered the Chicken Pho and Five Spice Chicken Pho. Both dishes were so good and comforting! The portions are big too.

Love how friendly the staff is and the restaurant itself is very clean and spacious. Can’t wait to come back to this neighborhood gem!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for 25 years…how many restaurants can you say that about?? Food is delicious!!“

“Golden Era was a pleasant surprise. The pho broth is a little different from what I usually expect in a good way. It actually reminds me more of the broth used in Vietnamese hủ tiếu, but with a richer and more flavorful seasoning. I really enjoyed it.

I haven't had the chance to try other dishes yet, but the pho alone was worth the visit. The owner seemed to be running the restaurant by himself, so service was a bit slow at times, which is understandable.

The restaurant itself looks a little older and could use some updating, but the food quality is solid and the meal was enjoyable. If you're looking for a comforting bowl of noodle soup and don't mind a relaxed pace, Golden Era is definitely worth trying.“

“Food very tasty n freshly made quick service friendly staff“

“Good takeout spot if you’re in the neighborhood! I ordered the BBQ chicken and garlic noodles combo to go. The portion was generous for the price, with a good serving of garlic noodles and two chicken thighs. The garlic noodles were absolutely delicious, and the chicken was good as well. The three pieces of broccoli were extremely undercooked, almost raw.

I forgot to request utensils when placing my online order, and when I asked for host for some, he told me to “pay attention next time”, then didn’t even give me a fork - might’ve just caught him on a bad day.

Overall, I’d come back for the garlic noodles and to try more of the menu!“

“I live only a block away from several very popular Vietnamese restaurants in the Tenderloin. This is a great choice despite located in it's kinda interesting Tenderloin neiberhood. Super hot pho tai! Quick service, and if you want cold water, they bring a nice pint in a big plastic thermos container. Love it every time.“

“The best Vietnamese food in the Bay Area! Prices are excellent. Get the Number 5 to sample everything. I would come here at least one a week if I lived nearby! Order to go if you don’t want to sit in the tiny 10-person space. The food is worth it!“

“I really liked the Thai Ice tea. Some places fill your whole cup with too much ice. This place had just the right amount of ice not overly icy just enough and enough condensed milk in there and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed it and I would definitely buy another tie ice tea every time I walk by that place. I ordered the chicken fresh bowl and it was fantastic. Very light. It had noodles, fresh veggies, and chicken, cilantro and you could top it off with fish sauce. It was filling, but not too heavy and very flavorful. Service was very fast and helpful and I would definitely go again.“

“Ordered takeout - there’s no seating inside or outside. I got the cold cuts banh mi and shrimp spring rolls. The banh mi good, but it could have used more pate (it was a little dry) and more pickled veggies. The shrimp spring rolls were tasty, and the portions were generous. There are definitely some better spots in the City, but no major complaints.

As a heads up, the payment process is a little strange. They clearly prefer cash and would probably be cash only if they could. You can pay by Venmo or card, and when I asked what they preferred, the cashier said Venmo but they still add tax to your total through the register.

Overall, a solid takeout option at a fair price!“

“So delicious! After traveling in vietnam for a bit this year im so happy to find a place to sastisfy my cravings for authentic northern viet food. Especially happy that they have fresh rice noodles instead of dried <3 do yourself a favor and eat here!!!“

“Service was fast and efficient. Food was good.“

“This is an excellent restaurant run by people who really care about their customers. The food is of the highest quality and it's delicious. I've eaten here 50+ times and have never had a bad meal. I cannot recommend this place highly enough... Now, after writing this, I'm feeling hungry and will have to head over there to get a bite.“

“The pho here is ridiculously good.I love meat but I couldnt eat meat one day but i came here anyway and just got plain noodles plus soup and it was still delicious.the broth is insanely flavourful especially with chili oil,the noodles are also the perfect texture and overall amazing.my one complaint is that there is not enough noodles but its so good i barely care.finding this place genuinly changed my life,its also pretty affordable with a standard medium pho at 14.50 and you basically just mix and match a bunch of beef options.“

“Sunny day? I recommend pork bahn mi. Cloudy and cold? I recommend beef bahn mi. Generous portions, good prices! Keep in mind: beef is stewed- it tastes amazing (so rich and flavorful) but, best eaten right away

I also love their matcha latte. I order it iced and unsweetened with their pandan foam on top

Ambience is great with a corner location and big windows. I’m spoiled to live right around the corner from this spot!“

“Excellent food and service ♥️“

“If you're looking for an exceptional place to get coffee and a Vietnamese Bahn Mi, you must visit Fresh Brew!

I was greeted promptly and did not have to wait long to order or wait for the food and coffee to be ready. You can tell the owner takes pride in his shop and was happy to have visitors.

The iced coffee was vibrant and perfectly balanced. Not too strong or watered down. It was refreshing drink to have on warm SF afternoon.
Instead of typical pork, I tried the chicken Bahn Mi. The baguette was crunchy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. It was filled with fresh vegetables and pickled veggies along with the perfect amount of sauce. There was no skimping of chicken, just the right amount to make the sandwich filling.

My only small complaint would be the lack of seating. However, it's a small shop in a dense area of the City so that's to be expected.

Prices are very reasonable for the portions, no silly up charges. I would highly recommend this coffee shop for lunch. Next time I will go earlier and try one of the breakfast offerings.“

“great sandwich. the best in the city“

“Came here with a friend and got the ribeye banh mi which was huge and so good! I'm glad we waited in line, it actually was not a very long wait in the end and the food came out fast.

Good:
- Portion size is super generous!
- The price is good
- The meat was so juicy! Loved the ribeye and they are generous with how much they give you
- There are some good picnic blankets nearby and it's not too bad

Bad:
- Long lines and no inside seating

Overall this was an awesome find and hole in the wall and I'm glad I finally got to try it!“

“This is the best Bahn Mi sandwich I’ve had in the Marin… dare I say the Bay Area. The menu is limited and the decor is simple inside but the owner and staff are super nice and friendly. They make sandwiches quickly. And the bang mi sandwiches are amazing. I think it’s the bread. Their bread is great.

Menu is limited to chicken, tofu/veggie, pork and ham and cheese banh mi, but one they make incredible sandwiches.

Highly recommend this place if you’re craving Vietnamese Bahn Mi sandwiches.“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Work not to far from here. One day walking pass decided to go in. Grabbed me some Rare Steak PHO it was DELICIOUS!!!!! Love this place, staff very pleasant as well.“

“My girlfriend & I ordered chicken pho, bun bo hue & spring rolls. Food was great & solid portion size. Our server was very friendly & welcoming. Atmosphere felt very hole in the wall, family owned & laid back. Everything for around ~$50. We live in the area & will definitely be back!“

“Best option on this side of town. BBQ+Pate is my favorite here.“

“Great food and atmosphere. prompt friendly service.“

“Before today I was certain that there were no good Vietnamese restaurants in Marin. Then I tried Pho. What a find.

Very simple basic menu, but everything was perfect. Flavorful, fresh, generously sized, good service. Everything was right. We are talking San Francisco - San Jose level of excellence for Vietnamese food. I used to think you had to go to the City to find great Vietnamese food, But now we have it local here in San Rafael. The other Vietnamese restaurants around town can't even compare. This restaurant is now on my short list. Coming back. Five star.“

“I love Saigon Village and have been coming with my vegan family for years. They have so many options with fake meats, and vegetable broth for pho. The owners are very sweet and can make modifications for almost everything on the menu. I would especially recommend the tofu bahn mi with no mayo, the vegetarian beef pho, and the coconut juice straight from a coconut! So good. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-20“

“Really impressed with this Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. The food has a genuinely authentic Northern Vietnamese flavor — I’d say it’s about 90% close to what you’d actually get in Vietnam. The seasoning and overall taste feel very familiar especially if you’re from Northern Vietnam. Definitely one of the places I’d recommend if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food in SF.“

“Really good food - we got the Korean fried chicken banh mi, which had a nice sweet heat to it. And the curry tofu was also nice and crispy. My sister literally was drinking the salad dressing. Also they were very nice, making us a half veggie and half chicken banh mi.“

“My Canh offers a clean and comfortable environment to enjoy delicious Vietnamese food. I have tried just about every dish on the menu over the past few months. Some of my favorites are Bun Canh Cua (Crab 🦀 meat udon noodle soup), Bo Tai Chanh (Beef Carpaccio), Beef Pho, Chicken Noodle Soup, Chicken Salad, Shrimp Rolls, Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Pancake), Pork & Eggroll Rice Vermicelli salad, Porkchop Rice with fried egg, Bun Bo Hue, 5-spice chicken over rice, fresh coconut, Vietnamese Coffee, Avocado Smoothie, Coconut Tofu & Mixed Veggies, and iced lemonade. If you haven’t been to My Canh, it is a “MUST” try restaurant in San Francisco. Located on 626 Broadway, SF CA 94133, between Grant & Stockton Street. Parking hint: FREE PARKING all day on Sundays on regular & yellow meters. My Canh is open Tuesdays to Sundays 11am-9pm. Closed on Mondays.“

“I’ve been searching for good bun cha since I left Hanoi. I think I’ve finally found it! The “special entree” is 10/10. I got it with the lemongrass pork chop, and I was SHOOK when it arrived! A huge portion for only $16! The pork was seared nicely, and not dry. Ive walked by this place everyday for months, and I can’t believe it took me this long to try it! A must go if you’re in the mission and craving Vietnamese!“

“This is the best Pho I've ever had. I had the Pho-zilla! comes with thin sliced filet mignon, a whole lobster and a large beef rib.“

“Yes! Would come back. Got the teriyaki tofu bowl and the shrimp spring rolls to share- all good! They were careful about noting my peanut allergy, which I appreciated it. No room to sit inside but some outside tables that we sat at.
Friend got the beef pho and liked it too!“

“They have the best food. Anything you order will amaze your tastebuds. We get 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ service every time. Course it helps we go every weekend!!“

“I highly recommend this small restaurant and its signature Pho: the broth is perfectly seasoned (with extra salt available on the table), it’s packed with meat, and the noodles are excellent. I love soup and would recommend this spot to tourists; the prices are great, and the place is clean and cozy. The fact that locals dine here is the best guarantee of the food's quality.“

“Super good!!! Would recommend to anyone. Big portions“

“The best sandwiches around!! I tried #2 & 5. Like them cuz they are the least bready, most crunchy sandwiches. The meat is flavorful and the crispy crunchy veggies really add a lot of texture and flavor. This is not about atmosphere, it’s all about flavor & texture.“

“Great grab-and-go banh mi spot

Nice little Vietnamese sandwich shop with lots of banh mi options. The combination pork is really unique and flavorful. The lady making the sandwiches is super generous with portions. Perfect if you need something quick and tasty around San Fran area.“

“we are from San Diego and found this place on yelp. The name itself peaked my interest. must say, sandwiches, spring rolls, Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. will come back soon.“

“Unique foods with great taste. The quality in overall is high“

“Excellent Vietnamese sandwiches in SSF with reasonable prices. Ordered Crispy Duck Sandwiches ($11) and Combo Pork ($8)- wonderful balance of pickled veggies and protein. Devoured sandwiches instantly and was a hit for everyone. Crispy duck sandwich rates 10/10.“
