17 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pleasant Hill

“I love the pho here. They have a lovely vegetable pho. The best around! The only place that I've been to that offers lovely veggies and tofu soup. I get mine with chicken broth and it's sooo yuuuuummm! The restaurant itself is a hole in the wall. Don't expect much aesthetically. But the soup is chefs kiss.“

“I've ordered takeout from Pho Viet several times now, and it never disappoints. My go-to is the grilled beef with garlic noodles, always paired with an egg roll on the side—and it's fantastic every time. The portion size is just right for a satisfying, well-rounded meal. I love that they include fresh veggies like carrots and lettuce at the bottom, which adds a nice balance to the dish.

The beef is always perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the garlic noodles are packed with flavor. And trust me, the egg roll is a must—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect finishing touch.

The staff are always super friendly when I stop by to pick up my order, which makes the experience even better. I’m really looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu, especially the pho, which I’ve heard great things about.

Highly recommend!“

“The grilled chicken with shrimp and vermicelli was super tasty, and all the sides hit the mark—fresh spring rolls, crispy fried egg rolls, and a comforting seafood wonton soup with egg noodles. The drinks were awesome too—loved the three bean, mung bean with coconut milk, and the young coconut. Everything was fresh, the place was clean, and service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back!“

“I ordered several meals, sides, and desserts to be delivered and everything was perfect. The items were packed very well, nothing spilling or leaking, and everything in the containers looked as good as if in the restaurant, with dipping sauces, garnishes, etc. The food was Delicious! The mango dessert was so fresh and tasty. Only $55 and the portions are so hearty it's enough for 4 people, with leftovers!“

“We randomly stopped by here to grab Vietnamese sandwiches after walking on the nearby trail. Although this is a chain, this location seems small biz family owed.

Banh Mi Dac Biet 4/5*
The banh mi is smaller than I'm used to, but I could already tell it would be delicious by the bubbles on the toasted baguette. The bread was so crunchy and perfect contrast to the soft cold cuts. The pickled veggies were sweet and sour, but I thought there was too many carrots. There were A LOT of carrots! Overall great combination of flavors inside a perfectly baked baguette.

Grilled Pork Summer Rolls 3/5*
This was just ok. usually eat the shrimp rolls but decided to try something new. The grilled pork is the same type of grilled pork you'd get in a banh mi, which I thought was a bit dry and too crumbly for a summer roll. The veggies were fresh and crisp. Overall though, there wasn't much flavor. The fish sauce, though, that came with the summer rolls were 5/5*. It was sweet and savory with umami flavor. I like my fish sauce on the sweeter side and this one had a nice balance, not too salty.

Vietnamese Iced Coffee 4/5*
Viet coffee always hits the spot. This one isn't as strong as some of the others I've tried, which is nice for an afternoon pick me up.

There's tons of seating and the decor is simple yet cute. I wish I had tried the pho because it smelled amazing while we were eating there. Water is self-service and there was a little trolley with tons of condiments. Great place for a quick and healthy meal.“

“I ordered the Pho with rare beef & tendon. It was perfectly proportioned. The tendon was the highlight. The broth was delicious, light & flavorful.
The owner was friendly, gracious & interested in my dining experience this evening.
The place was clean, new comfy booths, lots of windows , good vibes all around
I am so glad I don't need to drive a long distance to satisfy my cravings
They also offer a lot of party trays for parties & gatherings“

“Definitely coming back here again! Came here on Christmas Eve, I didn’t realize they were closed and the let me and my partner enjoy their delicious food! They were very kind and let us eat without rushing us. The staff and food were genuinely the best ! Will be recommending this place to all friends and family 😇“

“I hardly ever write reviews, but Chef Tiffany makes some incredible food! Menu changes every week, but every dish I’ve gotten has been so good! My favorite dish are the ribs and they are actually the best ribs I’ve ever had. This is the BEST Vietnamese food in the area! 10/10 would recommend, especially at the price!“

“Went tonight for the first time with my family after the tree lighting and it was a great experience. Music was soft, place was busy but not overcrowded, all the people were nice patrons and staff, and the food was good. I personally enjoyed the beef stew noodle soup dish and will definitely be back for more of that for sure.

Kid-friendliness: My wife and my two young children and myself attended. There were other families with young children we got to meet and greet throughout our dining experience and the staff incredibly kind and nice to our family especially our babies.“

“Best Banh Mi sandwiches in the east bay for me. Been to a lot of places in the bay area and for me this is the spot. $8 for a sandwich. They are not like other spots that charge you for a different meat/flavor banh mi. I try to come here at least 3 times a month when I'm passing by because I don't live in Concord.“

“I brought my parents to eat here. My dad loves pho! Their service was great. The food arrived quickly. The food was delicious. We had grilled pork Vietnamese sandwiches, grilled pork vermicelli bowl, spring rolls, and BBQ pork and wonton pho. (can you tell we love grilled pork?) the pork was delicious! The sandwiches were not dry. We completely enjoyed our meal and had a very nice time together. I would highly recommend this place for both dining in and takeout.“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“

“The broth was really greasy, taste was good. I would think 3 times before drinking their water though, I had a cup of water and had a really weird taste. Just one zip and I stopped drinking it. Idk what that was about. Spring rolls were good, the service is ok.“

“Kevin's was very good. They had great food, a standout was the pho, a very cultural atmosphere which was welcoming, and easy to order from waiters as well as a great ordering system and fast wait time. They did great 8/10 will come again.“

“The drinks were absolutely beautiful with wonderful flavor profiles. The overnight oats hit the spot and started my day off right. The chicken banh mi sandwich was a joy in every bite. The service was quick and everything was served with a smile. This place is a wonderful prologue to your day.“
