18 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pleasanton

“Phō here is poppppin !!!! Flavor is not point ! Quantity is good! Bowls are a good size! For me it was the rib in the combo plate!!!! The only thing is they need to add the chilli sauce to their table! It’s quiet but it needs some type of jams ,people aren’t loud even when it’s busy and staff is friendly and quick“

“I'm currently getting over a cold and needed some hot soup for lunch. I've driven past this place for the past year but never made the effort to come. I decided to change that today. The outside can be a little easy to miss as it's tucked away in an open strip mall, but parking is ample.

I was immediately seated as it was really packed for the lunch hour. The menu isn't huge on variety but in a good way. Too many restaurants try to pack too many items in, but this restaurant knows its identity and what they're good at. They stick to the classic Vietnamese dishes with little to no frills. I ended up with a bowl of beef pho with the rib bone. The food came out surprisingly quick which was excellent for those on a time crunch. The soup was flavorful and hot. They give you a good amount of meat and noodles. Side note - a lot of other pho places have been skimping on noodles lately.

Overall I was really impressed with the level of service and food. I would definitely be back to try other dishes. I was suggested to try the grilled chicken rice dish and the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). The decor is also really cute and trendy with a really laid back vibe. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area for some good classic Vietnamese food.“

“I recommend this spot. My goto Vietnamese PHO restaurant. Been working in Livermore for over 20 years and this is my spot. I've been to many other PHO spots too but they are expensive. This place is affordable for both PHO and rice plates. Lots of Asian folks eat here too. Check it out!“

“Just had a great meal at Viet Noms in Livermore, and it’s definitely one of the better Vietnamese spots in the Tri-Valley. The space is clean, modern, and inviting — it feels more polished than your typical pho joint but still keeps the homey vibe.

Their pho is a clear highlight: the broth is rich and aromatic, with just the right balance of spices and sweetness. Portions are huge — easily one of the more generous bowls I’ve had around here. Noodles have good bite, and the meat is tender and flavorful. Great for a chilly day or when you’re just craving comfort food done right.

The bún bò Huế (BBH) really surprised me — it’s one of the most potent, deeply flavored versions I’ve had outside of San Jose. The broth hits with that spicy, lemongrass-heavy kick you want in BBH. I do wish the meat cuts were a bit chunkier and that they included pork blood cubes for full authenticity, but even without that, it’s still a satisfying bowl.

The salad was fresh but a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal — maybe better as a light starter.

What really rounds out the experience is the service. Staff here are super friendly, fast, and genuinely attentive. They make you feel welcome without hovering, which is the sweet spot for casual dining.

Overall, Viet Noms delivers quality Vietnamese food in a setting that’s both relaxed and polished. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Livermore or passing through. Try the pho, go for the BBH if you like spice, and enjoy the vibe.“

“Fantastic Pho and great people.

I ordered the large rare beef pho, and it was exactly what I needed today.

The broth was not greasy or fatty. The meat was perfect, and I was surprised to see how much meat was in my bowl. A nice plus.

I asked for extra lemons, my preference over limes, and they were juicy too, lol

The customer service was great. The gentleman at the counter was very polite, kind, and not overbearing. Seems like a chill, nice person. I also observed how he greated incoming customers, and he just has a good vibe to him.

It's a small establishment, lots of parking nearby.

My bowl was 18$, and I was definitely an 18 dollar bowl due to the extra meat and noodles.

I wish we had this place in my town, just passing through.“

“It doesn't look like much dining in. The lady that takes your order is so sweet, couldn't be nicer, or more helpful. The food is good depending what you order. Some of its fried same same but the pho, wor won ton and the grilled chicken were pretty good, especially for the price. At least come down and support the ole ladies business.“

“The ultimate dining experience ❤️“

“Love the food and prices are good..The staff was pleasant & friendly. Glad they helped get the left over soup in the to go container for me. Would go back no questions“

“First time in and was very impressed with the Ban Mi with grilled pork. Completely stuffed with ingredients you would expect along with a fresh bread! Excellent! Also had an iced Vietnamese coffee which lived up to my expectations as well!

I will be back again next time I am in Bay Area!“

“The pho is amazing. Keep trying other places and this is the best! But they never check on me or ask me for anything and while I was checking out the lady/owner stood there to see what I would tip. Just really rude behavior for poor service.“

“What a gem! It's such an awesome place! I've tried their Thai iced tea with honey Boba, their FRESH spring rolls are so delicious! The pho we had were the brisket pho and vegetable pho!! Both are so fresh and delicious! Good service and chill atmosphere! Im becoming a regular! Writing this, im craving it!!!“

“I live in the mountains and this is always my first stop when I'm headed to the Bay Area. I've stopped here dozens of times over the years. The staff is consistently excellent. The food is consistently fresh and excellent. The store is small and clean, and the restrooms are always clean.“

“Decent, if not generic, place for Vietnamese food. I had the pork chop with broken rice and it was pretty good. The restaurant itself looks pretty rundown, however, with a lot of the decor being leftover pieces from the thai restaurant that occupied this space several years prior to Pho Lan. The ceiling also has a lot of visible mildew and sealant or something spread around that makes it look like it's in the process of being renovated, and the overall atmosphere is slightly dull. Other than that, however, it's quite clean. Staff was super friendly, however, and service was fast since there was only one other person other than myself there at the time as it was a weekday. Overall, it's worth checking out if you're in the area and are craving Vietnamese food.“

“This place’s food is fantastic and its my favorite restaurant in town by far. Id say its the best Pho place not just in Dublin but in the Tri Valley.

I love to see this restaurant get the recognition it deserves. It’s never empty and theres always happily people eating their food.

Ive told all my friends and family about this place. Definitely will be back very soon!“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“
