49 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pacifica

“Revisited this spot & still so good. Tried the vegan iced Thai tea for the first time and it was delicious!! The alternative is coconut milk fyi. My go to is the pork ban mi but most items I’ve had are good. A perf little spot after spending the day in Pacifica surf or hiking. Ps. Love that they are always blasting the jams in there!

Dietary restrictions: Vegan options for drinks!“

“Good prices comparatively, the tofu sandwich was $9. To make it vegan get it with no mayo. The tofu was marinated and saucy so the sandwich was still moist. Small amount of seating inside. They can also make tofu spring rolls and tofu noodles (not on the menu but they have a picture of it on the wall).“

“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.“

“Little sandwich shop by Glen Park station. No tables inside but there is a bench to sit on while you wait for your order. Pork banh mi was delicious. My top 5 in SF. Sandwich was longer than expected and bread was crunchy on the outside. Meat was seasoned well with just a little kick of spiciness. Carrots was marinated well too. I also got the tofu roll and it was okay. Everything tasted fresh. Will be back to try other selections.“

“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. =)“

“Been meaning to review this location.
This location is perfect for crab and lobster lovers. We ordered the crab and lobster set menu and had both the crab and lobster cooked with garlic sauce. I was told it was amazing, since I am allergic to both crab and lobster, I more of the garlic noodles -yummy., papaya salad, steamed sea bass and charbroiled pork. I really liked their garlic noodles. It’s as good as Thanh Long .“

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

“My parents had a craving--no, a calling--for the kind of Vietnamese-Chinese noodle soup that could awaken old memories and warm the soul. I was determined to find the very best in the city, a place worthy of their nostalgia.

That quest led us to Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia, tucked away in the heart of San Francisco's Sunset District.

The moment we stepped in, the air was rich with the scent of simmering broth. We were seated instantly, greeted with a smile that felt like an old friend welcoming us home. Then came the bowls--piping hot, fragrant, and full of flavor. One sip of the broth and we were transported straight back to the bustling streets of Saigon, where time slowed and every bite was a memory reborn.

The atmosphere was laid-back yet full of life, the service warm and attentive, and every spoonful felt like an embrace from the past.

For anyone seeking not just a meal, but a journey--I wholeheartedly recommend it.“

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

“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.“

“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 :)“

“delish good great owner kim“

“Excellent food. I’ve only been able to try the sandwiches, but the two I got were tasty. I tried the combo and the crispy duck. I’ll have to go back to try the pho. It just opened when I got there. They got my sandwiches very quick. The ambiance was nice and modern with plenty of seating. Service was nice and helpful. It’s a little more than what I’m use to for a Banh Mi Sandwich, but I have to take into consideration the neighborhood I’m purchasing it from. I’ll definitely come back.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food at this small restaurant is great, to say the least. The atmosphere here resembles that of a family-owned restaurant. The broth and noodles are great and everything works well together. The portions are great and the price is quite reasonable. Would recommend to other and would come again.“

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

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

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

“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“

“Came to try this place after noticing it while ordering Korean Fried Chicken next door. It's in the strip mall next to 280 on San Bruno Ave. Place is huge, a little dark, and I haven't seen it being crowded ever. Do note that they are closed on Sunday which is really weird for most Asian restaurant.
The food is decent but nothing special. Don't think the soup is from actual bone soup but with the price I don't expect them to. They however gives you a lot of meat for the price. I feel like I got a decent deal. Service is also good. You do have to pay at the counter.“

“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...���“

“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.“

“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 💕“

“Ordered pickup for my family this afternoon and we were blown away by our dishes. The garlic five spice chicken noodles were impeccable. The curry soup with chicken was scrumptious. And the barbecue pork rolls were to die for. We will definitely be coming back again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“One portion is about 6 inches subway and a little more. The price is very cost-effective! The bread at this restaurant is crispy French bread with pickled radish shreds and other vegetables inside. It feels very refreshing and nutritious! Recommend shredded pork (I like it more than a combo)

This store does not have a storefront to the outside world. You have to go through the "hospital" (?) gate first and turn left, and you will see it. There is a menu sign outside the building.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Dropped by this place with family before grocery shopping in the same plaza. Parking was a mess on a Sunday at lunch time, so keep that in mind. The place wasn't busy so we sat right down and were promptly served.

I got the laksa, the rest of the family got pho. It's not quite the mindblowing laksa you could get in SE Asia, but for Daly City it was pretty good. The quest for a good bowl of laksa continues.

I liked how the restaurant has an additional sink outside the restroom, makes washing hands way more convenient. I wish they had fried tofu on the menu.

Pay cash to avoid the card premium.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“I have been here many times, and it’s been awhile since my last visit. This is usually where I go when I am in the area and in the mood for Pho Ga (Chicken pho). They open early for breakfast and have some special sets you can order, such as a rice noodle set, a porridge combo, sandwich set and a noodle soup set meal. Their menu also consists of pho, rice plates, pho ga, etc. They are known for the Pho ga, which is hard nowadays to find a place that serves authentic pho ga. In the morning in can get busy due to the breakfast rush and for the reasonable prices they offer. I was told they open even earlier on the weekends, so please plan accordingly. I highly recommend this place to anyone craving for pho ga, want a great breakfast spot or just so happen to be in the area and is not afraid of trying new things. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“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.“

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

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

“Tasty vietnamese desserts. Staff are knowledgeable about how to make items vegan and many things are automatically vegan. Got the red bean trio which was really tasty, liked the different textures. The pandan jelly was good and not artificial tasting at all. The taro in it added a nice creaminess. Also got the choco banana smoothie with soymilk which was good.“

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

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“The BEST!! 💯👍😁I'm a white lady who's been eating Pho for 30 years, esp with Asian friends and the #18 Chicken noodle Pho w 5 spice chicken on the side? Excellent. Can't wait to return and try it other dishes. Highlyl recommend. Love the big window with trees everywhere, too.“
