50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pacifica

“A few pieces of fat in the beef sandwich but tasty, also recommend the boba place nextdoor, plus their website has the best URL ever! Fun vibes inside with some interesting snacks too. Wasn't crazy about the fried tofu I got on the side.“

“The food is good I'm sure that I'll be back again if I stay in town... but To be honest the sandwich is fairly expected but they put mayonnaise on it and it's like that just kind of makes it a regular sandwich in a way like I do like the role and stuff like that but I was hoping to get some more of that you know that like a rice vinegar sugar sauce.“

“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.“

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

“I can only second what has been said about this place. Great Banh Mi! Crusty yet soft bread packed with delicious meat, veggies, and traditional banh mi condiments. This is one of my favorite types of sandwiches and I will definitely come back to Banh Mi Viet Diamond.“

“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. =)“

“I love noodles, and this’ll do when I’m craving the one in the city, the “Hai Ky Mi Gia.” Although the name is similar, there’s apparently no connection between the two, according to the source. And honestly, neither is the taste—it’s similar enough to satisfy the craving, but definitely not the same.“

“Highly recommend coming for the Dungeness crab without having to venture out to San Francisco 🫪

We tried the peppercorn crab. The batter was perfect, it was white (meaning the oil is new). Again, I don’t like using my fingers to eat, but PPQ makes it easy. They give you a bib, sanitizing wipes, and napkins to keep your fingers clean. We will be back to try the salted egg and curry options 😊

We also enjoyed their beef papaya salad prior to the crab. It was refreshing and delicious. In addition, the garlic noodles are highly recommended too. To finish it off, we ordered a bowl of white jasmine rice to eat with the crab seasoning.

There is also a parking lot, but look for parking further away if none is available instead of circling around. It’s a pleasant walk around the nice neighborhood.“

“Been looking for a place to get pho without risk of gluten and this is the place. Friendly, clean, all wearing masks, food packaged perfectly for takeout.“

“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...���“

“The packaging is shockingly rugged, but don't let that fool you—the taste is surprisingly good for the price. Plus, they have a 'buy 4, get 1 free' deal. If you care more about flavor than fancy presentation, this place is an absolute steal.“

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

“Le Soleil offers the best Food Experience. The food is presented in a very unique and delicious way. The presentation is amazing visually and it is a gastronomical treat. Their egg roll, chicken lollipop and garlic noodles with crab is amazing. The service is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is very clean and it is nicely decorated.“

“I order from Cafe Bunn Mi regularly, and they absolutely nail it every single time. The food is always great and incredibly fresh. It’s rare to find a spot that is this consistent with their quality, but they never disappoint.

On top of the excellent food, the staff is always super friendly and welcoming. The prices are also totally fair and appropriate for the solid portions and quality you get. If you’re looking for a reliable, delicious meal in South SF, this is definitely the place to go!“

“delish good great owner kim“

“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 :)“

“delicious food✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨“

“We went here for lunch while in San Francisco on business. I had the roasted duck and barbecued pork on rice, and it was excellent. The other three colleagues that were with me said theirs was outstanding also. One of them is a local and makes a point of going there weekly. Service was just a little bit slower than what I would have expected since we were there early right when they opened, but perhaps that's why it was a little slow because they had just barely opened for the day. The staff were exceptionally friendly and kind. Prices for very reasonable and parking was easy. I definitely recommend this place for a great lunch meal.“

“* $15 minimum on cards *

Beef Banh mi for $12 is solid, the qualiry of the meat could definitely be higher for this price point.

Solid Chicken Pho, Good Broth, Average SF pricing. Comes out to $21 roughly“

“The pad thai $12.95 was good. It sounded interesting to order a Thai dish at a Vietnamese restaurant. The portion was small and left me wanting. It came with a side of clear soup. Zero wait at lunch on a Saturday at noon as I'm the customer. A few people came through to pick up their go-to orders. My stir fried noodles were ready in about 10 minutes. The restaurant could use a deep cleaning as the tables are sticky but I didn't smell anything weird. This is a charming small restaurant with four tables serving good noodles on Leland St. There isn't a lot of restaurants on this block. Good job staff at Pho Luen Fat.“

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

“It’s a busy place with lots of seating. They seat you quickly, they bring the food out almost immediately after ordering. The pho broth is delicious and flavorful with generous amounts of all the standard sides and sauce options. They have large servings with a side of lettuce, cucumber, and pickled carrot and radish. The drinks are quite good as well. I’d definitely recommend this place for a quick and delicious meal!“

“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“

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

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

“Service is on point, workers remembers you, amazing food work, fast and the quality off the room, me and my fiance really admire so much their worker hard work💯, especially since we made our return to the restaurant omg the service has not stopped and it so admiring will be returning again here to enjoy the food😎the chicken noodle soup is the best.“

“I'dve shared a photo of the breakfast bahn mi, but I scarfed it up! Paulette has a sweet little set up at the Sunday Stonestown Farmer's Market serving up noodles, bahn mi, and congee (cháo).

The bahn mi... Can I just recommend that you wait like 5 minutes after it's made for the egg to ooze into the baguette? It's h.e.a.v.e.n.!“

“Amongst many local eateries this was a gem. Great service with a smile. The decor is simple and familiar and includes a large screen video of Vietnamese food preparation.
Coming ourselves from a city full of Vietnamese restaurants the flavours here were spot on. The portions were larger than we expected.“

“Kevin's Noodle House is the proverbial new kid on the block on Grand Avenue, and it has stepped right into direct competition with Ben Tre. It honestly feels like two local titans going head to head for neighborhood pho supremacy.

That said, I personally prefer Kevin's. I definitely have a soft spot for it since I grew up going to their other locations, and this one delivers that same familiar comfort. The food hits the spot, the flavors are consistent, and it feels dependable in the way a good noodle house should.

The space is clean and modern, and service has been friendly and efficient every time I have been. They renovated this building quite well. Ben Tre is still a strong option and longtime favorite for many, but Kevin's feels a little more my speed. One little quirk I noticed about the waiters - none of them write down orders. They are very good and always get it right. I am glad they opened here, and I will keep coming back.“

“I stopped by for lunch not long after opening and as soon as I come in the lobby of the medical building Banh Mi Love is located in i was met with so many savory fresh smells... Some of the meats, the fresh bread and spices.

The place seems to be ran by a mother/daughter combo, or at least a similar age difference and they're very warm and friendly taking my order and offering the jalepeno option. Initially I got a combo pork banh mi, and a passionfruit lemonade. After I paid (cash and cards are fine) I noticed the Vietnamese lays and got a bag of fried crab flavored chips. The spicy hot pot looked good too but I wasn't feeling spicy that day.

The sandwich was absolutely lovely. I could taste the individual pork, pickled veg, and vinegary tang of the sauce, all coming together to be more than the sum of their parts. The bread is a standout being crispy and flaky, but not dry, although I do like it a little chewier. Close to classic Vietnamese baguette. The lemonade was sublime and would get again even at 4.50. the pate was a little moved to one side, but I got a ton of perfect bites with all the meats and shallot and carrot. The chips tasted like imitation crab that was fried in potato chips and tempura batter, really enjoyed their unique taste. All this was just about 20 bucks, but with my own water and skipping the chips I could get an amazing lunch for 10 bucks.

The parking garage is free and the door into the lobby from the first floor of the garage is like 10 feet from the restaurant. I would go out of my way to come here, or even better walk over from the galleria for a yummy treat. Please come try this place.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“We ordered the #1 Combination Pork bánh mì and it was really big and delicious. You could clearly taste the Vietnamese ham and cold cuts, and all the ingredients worked so well together.

The Vietnamese drip coffee was very good, and the Thai tea was also delicious without being overly sweet. The ladies there were super friendly and welcoming, which made the place feel warm and comfortable.

The only small downside is that parking can be a little difficult, but it’s definitely worth it. We’ll definitely be coming back many more time“

“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.“

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

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

“this place was so delicious !! the portions are great, i felt like i ate a ton and still had plenty of leftovers to take home. the food was so good. i ordered the Large Pho and it was so GOOD! i also got the thai tea which was also delicious. i will say though the place itself is very quiet which i don’t really mind ! 10/10 would recommend ‼“

“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.“

“Chicken Papaya Salad and Beef Garlic Noodles…Both were delicious!“

“Chicken Pho You is a small hole in the wall restaurant right along Broadway in Millbrae. Super convenient parking, and it was quite busy during the morning hours!
They have a few breakfast sets to choose from, and they're all very reasonably priced. I ended up getting the satay beef noodle, a classic Cantonese dish. There was a good amount of beef, and it delivered flavor wise!“

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

“Friendly and delicious pho!“

“Solid pho place with good portions of tender steak meat. Broth could use more umami flavor and noodles could be chewier. The place is clean but a bit dim for my liking. I know they were going for a peaceful vibe with their background music, but it almost put me to sleep. Service is friendly and efficient.“

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

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

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The place was busy, but the service was fast. We had beef pho and tofu/vegetables with rice. The pho tasted good, but it was mostly broth, more veggies would be nice. The tofu- vegetable dish toasted ok, but it wasn't juicy enough to mix it with the rice, I had to use a lot of soy sauce, which I don't necessarily prefer, since it too salty.“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“I find this particular spot to be much more preferable than the Westlake location. While I've enjoyed better Pho at other establishments, what truly makes me appreciate this place is their remarkable speed, exceptional efficiency, and surprisingly affordable prices. This makes it a very convenient choice whenever I'm in need of a quick and casual dinner or lunch with friends. Unfortunately, parking is a definite challenge.“

“My favorite dessert spot ever. You will have to see the amount of points in my reward account to understand my love for this store. Whenever I walked in the store, the coconut milk fragrance brought me right back to Vietnam. Chè is my fav dessert, so I am so happy that this store make chè in a pretty authentic way to make me feel less homesick.

This exact Bambu in Milbrae is my fav. I think they make the dessert better than the other location near Stonestown Galleria in SF. My go-to order is number 10 Bambu Special or something like that. The chewy pandan jelly and the red water chestnut jelly in number 10 is the best combo 🤤🤤“
