50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pacifica

“Third times a charm. They were open this time. So i put my laundry in the wash next door and headed over to Kitten.

I had the shrimp Mayo toasted Bread. I thought it was great. Also had the egg roll plate. They were pretty good. Both items were served popping hot. I had to wait and let them cool. This is always a must for me... hot food needs to be hot.

I had the BBQ pork sandwich. It was a little salty for me but im also getting over a cold and my tastey buds are probably a little wacky.

The bread was fresh and perfect crunchy.

All in all I will give this place another shot.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is hands down the best bánh mì I’ve had in San Francisco.

The meat-to-bread ratio is incredible — the sandwich is generously packed with beef and super satisfying. The flavors are beautifully balanced: a little sweet, a little spicy, with a bright tangy kick. As you keep eating, you can even notice the fresh aroma of lemongrass. Absolutely delicious.

I’m very particular about bánh mì baguettes — they shouldn’t be too thick. I like them light, airy, and shatteringly crisp on the outside. The bread here is exactly how it should be, and it even looks beautiful. Everything just works. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“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. =)“

“Thai Nghiep Ky Mi Gia is a fantastic spot for authentic and flavorful food. The dishes are always fresh, rich in taste, and consistently satisfying.

Service is impressively fast, even when it’s busy, and everything comes out hot and well prepared. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable, which makes it an even better value.

If you’re looking for delicious food, quick service, and affordable prices, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended.“

“The peppercorn deep fried Dungeness crab was delicious. It was cooked just right. Meat was fresh, tender and tasty esp with the chopped garlic and peppercorns. The lightly breaded deep fried shell was perfectly seasoned, not too salty. Definitely will come again!“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“delish good great owner kim“

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

“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.“

“There is nothing more exciting in the morning than freshly baked French rolls, Vietnamese coffee, and a Banh mi for lunch. This is one of those gems where the rolls used in its Banh mi’s are baked fresh daily.
These are some of the best Bain mi’s in town. I’ve tried them all with my favorite being the combo pork and lemongrass pork. If I had more time, I would love to sit on the outside table watching traffic go by while enjoying my meal here.
The best part is you can get 5 Banh mi’s or 4 Banh mi’s + 1 drink for $36.

Nothing fancy, but good food and local ambience. Enjoy!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.!“

“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...���“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excellent food with fast service. Granted we were the only party since we arrived before they closed. There was a kiosk to order but you can also use the QR code. Pho broth was ok, Bun Bo Hue broth could've been better. Portions were huge though. The dumplings and spring rolls were surprisingly delicious.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

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

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

“Consistently good food (generous portions, flavorful, and not too salty) and good service (friendly, attentive, and courteous staff). Every time we come here, we feel welcome and it's a relaxing atmosphere. This is essential when you have little ones in tow. The price did go up, unfortunately, but it's expected given our country's current economic situation. We had the combination pho.

Update: We got a banh mi to-go for our child and asked them to omit the spice. They agreed but we still found the sandwich spicy. There was something spicy mixed up in there, perhaps a cucumber they brined? Not sure. Hoping it's just one-time glitch.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Post EDC arrival home meal? Post vacation food from any flights into SFO? Hangover recovery food? Kevin's the standard when it comes to pho that can bring you back to life. If it can't, you've probably gone too far.

One thing to note - no matter how hungry you think you are, you will not be able to finish the #1 Large. Its too large.“

“Good food, kind staff! Hard to find anything open late around here, so I'm glad for this place.

Had delicious hot Thai tea and iced milk tea while my partner enjoyed beef pho. I was pleasantly surprised to see veggie pho on the menu and will have to come back to try it.

Not sure if the ownership changed or who past negative reviews are mentioning in regard to service. We were served by a friendly and good-humored senior Vietnamese man.“

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

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“Good food, very reasonably priced especially for airport food. The portions are big and the waittime is short.
Staff was very kind and helpful when I asked for a cup of ice for my headache and even gave it to me for free, even tho I did not place an order at this visit.“

“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 🤤🤤“

“😋😋 good eating experience“

“I order Doordash from here a lot because I'm a night owl and they're open late. I really want to thank the staff for the work they do and show my appreciation. The banh mi is really good, and the drink sizes are really big, incredible value for the price. Thank you staff of My Cup Of Tea :)“
