50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pacifica

“Get the grilled pork banh mi, do it! Sweet & smoky with fresh fixings on fantastic bread. Consistently delicious over the years, the quality has kept up. It's not a cheap sandwich, but it's a good size and you won't regret it. Why are you still reading this?! Go buy yourself the sandwich! Hurry!!“

“Vegans items are not clearly labelled, would clarify with staff.
Got the tofu bahn mi with no mayo. Very flavorful and still moist despite the no mayo as the tofu was marinated and moist. Small amount of seating inside and one small table outside.“

“Great pho, pork chops, wonton noodles soup 🍜 and wide option of rice plates and dry vermicelli bowls. I’m so glad we have a great Vietnamese restaurant in Pacifica. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing Banh Mi! Everything about it was amazing. I usually have trouble with the crispy portion but this bread had a thin crisp with a nice soft inner. When I went around 2pm they ran out of pork so I got a beef instead. No regrets because this is the best beef banh mi I've ever had. Very tender meat and well seasoned. I loved the amount of veggies packed in as well.

I'll definitely be back for more!“

“Just tried for the 1st time today and ordered takeout bbq pork banh mi sandwich and a Vietnamese iced coffee. Seems like a family owned mom&pop shop, super sweet friendly service. BBQ pork banh mi sandwich was excellent, perfectly toasted bread on the outside, soft on the inside (not hard and rough like other banh mi sandwiches that hurt the roof of your mouth), delicious BBQ pork flavor, stuffed with fresh yummy pickled veggies, flavors were spot on. Vietnamese iced coffee was good, could be a bit stronger and creamier for my tastes. Overall would highly recommend. Can't wait to come back. =)“

“This place serves authentic cuisine with delicious options. The dungeness crab in garlic and butter sauce was amazing. All the side dishes that come with it were tasty with my favorite being the garlic noodles. Mango and Coconut ice cream at the end was the perfect touch. Great place to order family style and share several entrees. Highly recommended.“

“really friendly staff and great eats! we will be back to work through the entire menu!“

“The Wagyu Pho is off the charts delicious. I've done takeout and delivery, and each component is packaged separately so the crisp veggies stay crisp and the broth stays warm. The meat is delivered raw but cooks itself in the yummy broth. Portions are large and make at least 2 meals. I've never eaten in the restaurant, but it's super cute and cozy. A true neighborhood gem and my current go-to obsession!“

“AMAZING. Accommodated our large table and made sure we had an awesome steamboat experience. Everyone was so friendly and we had more than enough food, with plenty left
Over. Then it only set us back $40 each! We will be back often :)“

“Parking was on a metered street. It was definitely busy, and the restaurant had a constant stream of customers, always a good sign. We checked out the Vietnamese Rice Noodle Soup and the fish cakes, with egg rolls on the side. It was excellent! We would eat there again, especially as the price was very reasonable. The Thai Tea was also tasty.“

“delish good great owner kim“

“The pho, noticeably fragrant. 20 hours of simmering evident in the deepness of taste, buttery from the marrow drawn from bones. Clean and translucent broth, an indicator of quality. The wait time, a result of perfectly boiled-to-order rice noodles. What’s missing in decor is over-compensated by taste. Come for a rare-find bowl of solid noodle soup — no frills, but very simply delicious.“

“Tres belle déco et les plats sont excellents. Sans oublier la gentillesse de tous . Merci“

“Café Bunn Mi in South San Francisco is hands-down one of my favorite spots for comfort food!

Their garlic noodles are absolutely delicious full of flavor and perfectly cooked every time. I pay for extra noodles! I spoil myself like that all the time!

The imperial rolls and egg rolls are always crispy, fresh, and packed with goodness. For the imperial rolls I always pay for extra lettuce! They come with the vermicelli noodles and fish sauce!!!

Their fried chicken sandwich is another must-try: crunchy, juicy, and so satisfying.

And of course, you can’t forget the Thai iced tea sweet, creamy, and the perfect drink to tie it all together.

Great food, great service, and always consistent. Highly recommend!“

“Pho Ga is such a comforting stop when you’re craving a hearty bowl of chicken pho. We ordered both the classic pho ga and the curry pho ga, along with an order of egg rolls to share.

The regular pho ga had a clean, soothing broth — light but still flavorful, with tender slices of chicken and noodles that were soft and easy to slurp. It’s the kind of bowl that feels nourishing without being overly salty or greasy. The curry pho ga, on the other hand, was the standout for me. The broth was golden, aromatic, and layered with a subtle richness from the curry — something you don’t often find at most pho shops. It’s hearty and unique but still maintains that pho comfort factor.

Egg rolls came out hot and crispy, perfect with the dipping sauce and pickled veggies on the side. Service was quick and efficient, even though the restaurant was buzzing during lunch.

Overall, a reliable spot for chicken pho lovers, and the curry pho is absolutely worth a try if you’re looking for something a little different. Solid 4/5 in my book — satisfying, flavorful, and a place I’d happily revisit when the craving strikes.“

“Very good Bahn Mi, excellent vegetarian options; they use shredded/marinated tofu and their bread is always fresh. Great meatball sandwiches too. Service is Ok; you have to order through a tablet but they will help out if you need. Not a sit down place; there’s a table outside but it’s best to take it to go.“

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

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“I invited my sister for her birthday -- something light and savory, Pho and spring rolls (and a couple of Boba drinks). From the start, my how things have changed. I came here when they were starting out, and it was similar but not the same. There was a long line and a short wait -- service is fast, albeit a little frenetic and high volume ambient noise. But, I'm there to eat and that is what we did. Surprise! The spring rolls shrunk, still good, just not too plenty. But, overall, it is as good as I remember it when they opened many years ago! #TheBrokerWithAHeart“

“Used to go there when they were on Lombard when my brother worked at the presidio. We would eat our subs at Chrissy field on a park bench. He lives in Maryland now and still asks if I still go there. I moved to the Valley and would dream about the best beef teriyaki sandwich I’ve ever had.“

“Comfort foods with a variety of specialty cuisines. Especially enjoy their Laksa, comparable to Singapore’s 😇. Helpful and friendly staff.“

“If you’re craving delicious takeout or have a hidden gem that’s all about flavor and not only your usual Vietnamese menu, this is the spot. The vibe and service aren’t the highlight, but the people are friendly and the food is fantastic.“

“we eat there for lunch quite often. the food is absolutely fresh, healthy and super delicious. the vegan options are just wonderful. highly recommend. 2000 Sierra point building in Brisbane CA“

“Best sandwich ever in Excelsior area ��� The bread is always crunchy and the meat is amazingly flavorful. My always choice is of course #6 grilled pork with well-seasoned meat and abundantly fresh veggies. #3 combination is also a should-try . It is what I believe the most traditional one. Besides these, a must-have is definitely Vietnamese ice coffee. It is made strong and sweet beautifully bringing me back the flavor which I always miss when being away from home. A strongly- recommended spot when you are in the area...���“

“This is my favorite food stand at Stonestown. Today I got.the Lunar New Year special which had two large rice cakes that had mung bean, topped with braised pork, sprouts and green onions. I also had my weekly porridge which is also outstanding. Definitely comfort food!“

“Great food and service. Always a good experience.“

“Ordered a beef pho during lunch. The quality is amazing and there are 3 types of beef (brisket, beef balls and flank). The portion is big but the price is super affordable. I work around the corner and I can’t believe I didn’t discover this little gem earlier. Definitely will come back and try other dishes.“

“This Vietnamese restaurant is worth visiting. The food was savory and mouthwatering. We ordered phō of course, but also the viet time sampler, which includes four delicious items. It was not crowded and wasn’t loud. They have a TV screen showing the food being made, which was different but also entertaining for those of us who love the Food Network.
I cannot express enough how delicious the food was! I will surely be returning here. Enjoy 💕“

“Solid vietnamese food in the sunset district. The vermicelli dish was great. I love the seasoned pork and the tang from the pickled vegetables.We all ordered pho and that was pretty good as well. The meat was not overcooked as long as you ready it before it sits too long in the hot broth.“

“Honestly can't even complain. Perfect for late night food. Piping hot pho. Good flavor bbq pork. Even has beverages as well. Service can be a bit slow, but if you're going late at night you have nothing to worry about. Definitely will come back again if i get the late night munchies.“

“Not bad for Daly City. The restaurant was mostly empty on a Monday evening. The menu has a big +$1 price adjustment on top. My Five Spice Chicken garlic noodles $16 tasted OK. The chicken was a bit dry. Luckily they have fish sauce on the side. The pickled vegetables were served on top of leave lettuce. The garlic noodles had a hint of butter and a mild garlic taste. The disappointing part was that some of the noodles would break apart due to them being flimsy. Service was fine as I received a water refill. I was left a bit hungry still and had to get some popcorn chicken and a Thai iced tea next door.“

“The food tasted OK at Little Vietnamese Bistro. There were two other parties when I ate here at 6pm on a Thursday night. Slow night. Food arrived shortly after I ordered. The chicken papaya salad $15 was drenched in fish sauce. It was a wet salad with a lot of nuts and shredded steamed chicken. The little pieces of crunchy dried garlic was a nice touch. It would have been nicer if there were more herbs like Thai Basil, cilantro or mint to make it more fragrant. The side of five spice chicken $7 looked dry, but it wasn't. It was juicy inside with a light coating of spices. At other restaurants, the skin can be rubbery. Little Viet Bistro cooked this correctly.

You can order in Chinese. The staff spoke fluent Cantonese to customers and Mandarin among themselves. Good job everyone at Little Viet Bistro.“

“Upon entering Pho Ha Tien, one is immediately enveloped by a symphony of olfactory splendor—the unmistakable perfume of star anise, charred ginger, and long-simmered marrow-infused broth coalesces into something near-spiritual. The ambience, though unpretentious, serves as the perfect stage upon which culinary transcendence is performed. Each bowl of pho is not merely a dish, but a poetic revelation—a sensorial tapestry that awakens dormant memories and ignites the imagination. With each sip of the deeply umami-laden broth, I am transported—not to the streets of Saigon, necessarily, but somewhere ineffably tender and personal. Despite my unmistakable upbringing as a white male from suburban America, this broth whispers to me in a language I didn’t know I knew, recalling long-forgotten afternoons of innocence and warmth, as if my soul had been waiting to remember this flavor all along.

The imperial rolls arrive like minimalist sculptures—clean, delicate, and hiding unexpected complexity beneath translucent rice paper. The sauce, velvety and subtly nuanced, functions as a kind of edible sonnet, perfectly complementing the verdant crunch within. There is a certain ineffable lightness to the entire experience, as though each bite cleanses not just the palate but the spirit. I departed Pho Ha Tien feeling unburdened and luminously restored, as if kissed by the breeze of a midsummer morning. One doesn’t merely dine here; one communes with something essential, something eternal.

If you can only do one thing with the rest of your life, you’d be remiss to not visit pho ha tien“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Ordered the combo pork with pate,fancy pork,head cheese,ham,mayo,pickled carrot and onion. I also added jalapeño. The combination of the toasted bread and generous pate made the sandwich crunchy and moist. Meats and veggie were very tasty with the pickled carrots. Price is right and sandwich are very good. I will come back for more.“

“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.“

“Great Food Great Price with variety of choices on the menu. the Laksa soup is yummy 😋“

“This is my favorite place when I craving for Vietnamese food, been coming here for years. After the pandemic is over, they added a lot more stuff on the menu besides Pho, and I tried a few new dishes, no disappointing! Very tasty good! Will definitely go back to try some more“

“I inhaled the first half of my combination pork sandwich from the Bhan Mi House, but managed to snap a pic of this half.. it’s the perfect ratio of meat, fresh/pickled veggies, and super crisp roll! Also, the service was friendly and fast.
Great spot for lunch on the go!“

“A great soot with beautifully curated atmosphere. The menu prices and offerings are what I would expect for a Bay area viet restaurant (banh mi around $10, pho around $17). Service is very friendly and attentive! I haven’t had their pho yet but their banh mi is good. I will have to come back and try more of the menu!“

“When you're not feeling too well, and need some hot and soupy goodness, try out this hole in a wall family restaurant that specializes in Vietnamese pho ga. It's chicken noodles. If you feel adventurous, go with the chicken and intestines, which is actually very small strips of chicken and thin sliced gizzards and liver. You also get your choice of regular pho that gives your mouth some springy chewing satisfaction, thin vermicelli style, or slurpy knife cut style noodles. Sticks to your ribs, clears your sinus and friendly to your wallet.

The place is not where I'll bring a first date. Bare bones wall, sounds echoing all over the place.

The service is brisk, but sufficient.
Only metered steet parking available and you will feel pretty lucky if you can find a spot within a block if this restaurant.“

“This is a busy restaurant, and I’m impressed by the efficiency of the staff. They were very friendly, and quickly served this busy place.

The food portions are great. We ate very well. The people here feel honest and down to earth. Would be happy to return in the future.“

“Muy delicioso todo soy cliente de años mis hermanos pequeños están ya adultos y ciempre seguimos visitando el lugar punjab“

“Another time at Kevin’s Noodle house again with the family. Still a bustling place and now they have the automotive ordering application. Seems like instantly the food is at the table and we are all ready to eat. Food prices are great and service is great. Another time again and this is one place I will continue to go when I come to Daly City.“

“My bf and I were looking for a good spot for a late after work dinner, and found this Pho restaurant. The host was gracious, and we sat quickly. I had the house special noodles and he had the beef pho. Portions are huge, prices are very reasonable, and everything was delicious.“

“Felt a little pushy even tho it was fairly empty. Took my full bowl of broth right away after I finished my noodles- I was gonna order extra noodles and beef but I guess not. However this is the best Bánh xèo near to me- crispy and tasty!“

“I had the delicious vermicelli with Vegetarian egg rolls. Wonderful!“

“I really enjoyed the curry chicken and the veggie/curry chicken boxes. Portions were reasonable and everything was very tasty!! Price is of course a bit higher than outside but it’s an airport, what do you expect ? The ladies working Wednesday afternoon at 2 PM were very friendly and helpful!“

“Always fresh and fantastic! The guys who work there are always friendly and nice, as well!“
