50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pacifica

“Really yummy hidden gem. I lived a few blocks away from this place for many years and love coming back. I usually get one the vermicelli plates which are generous & affordable. Lots of more foot traffic in the neighborhood than pre-COVID these days but even with the crowds not enough people check this place out.“

“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!“

“Fast pick up spot. Got the vermicelli bowl. Big portion. Lots of lemongrass meat. 2 sauces. Toasted peanuts on top. I ate it for lunch and dinner. Across from glen park bart. If you are doing a cross town trail. Grab a sandwich. Discount for multiple sandwiches. Thank you!!!“

“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. =)“

“The braised duck was absolutely delicious, the bone just falls off the meat. Egg noodles are al dente and a bit of alkaline and the soup is salty enough to be paired with a bite of noodles. Pickled veg was refreshing. The satay beef dish was ok, wouldn't recommend. Wontons were ok, would come back just for the duck!

Make sure you get here early.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...���“

“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 :)“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best pho I have ever eaten! You should try their Laksa (#4), looks good, smells good, and most importantly, it tastes good for very reasonable price. They put real coconut milk in the soup to make it even delicious! The place is clean and tidy. Excellent!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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“

“😋😋 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.“

“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.“
