20 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Pleasanton

“Delicious pho in a relaxed setting. Broth was rich with a deep flavor. This is where you should go for a special occasion. Loads of beef in the pho, along with very fresh ingredients. There were quite a few varieties of beef pho on the menu, from single beef vaieties all the way to loaded varieties that carried ingredients like tripe. I strongly recommend this restaurant.“

“10/10 Would come back again!

Food came out within minutes of ordering on a Saturday around noon piping hot! Broth was clear and had tons of flavor to it!

Service was efficiently and friendly!

Thank you to everyone who was involved :D“

“This is my go to pho place with really good food and very reasonable prices. Thepho quality isn’t the most consistent, and i would say their regular pho on the weekends often taste better than during the week. That’s why I always go with bun bo hue cuz the quality of that is very consistent and you can’t go wrong with it. Other items ate also really good but i usually just get pho.“

“Came here on a work trip and this is near the hotel. This is the best Singapore noodles and wings I have ever had. Service was fantastic and quick. I will come here whenever im in town!

Back again a month later still amazing“

“The gentleman who took my order was so sweet and provided suggestions for food. The pork and rice was SO delicious. The pork was so juicy and seasoned so well. The Thai tea was sweet and perfect. The spring rolls, also so wonderful! First time here and I enjoyed it so much!“

“Joe's Pho Is really good I love it here! I always come here to eat, the soup is so delicious and full of good flavor. I ordered many pho from here and I try something different each time I go but the P4 and P7 are my usual orders. The short rib pho Is my favorite, tender rib and excellent taste, noodles are yummy and everything. I would also try the OX tail pho, that will fill you up. Great atmosphere with some cool hip hop music and dim lighting it feels very chill here and I love it!“

“Stellar Vietnamese restaurant with an extensive menu including fruit smoothies. Food was very tasty. Vietnamese coffee was delicious. Shaken beef was really good. Fried tofu and garlic green beans were great. Love the oldies music (60s and 70s) they play.“

“The ultimate dining experience ❤️“

“Located across the street from the San Francisco Premium outlets, this is an excellent Vietnamese restaurant! Try their menu item #1 House special Pho large: beef, tendon, brisket, tripe, and meatballs in a savory beef broth and thin rice vermicelli noodles. I also recommend their 3 piece egg rolls, with sweet chili sauce. Loved their Vietnamese iced coffee, which was strong but sweet. Lastly, I loved their Thai iced drink with jack fruit!“

“This is absolutely my favorite Pho place in Dublin (and maybe East Bay in general) — the moment you walk in, the aroma of the fragrant broth hits you like a truck.

Normally I don’t want pho at other Vietnamese restaurants (because I don’t like their pho so I typically get the rice plates), but the smell of the broth here is so good, I get it every time.

The other thing I like about this place is they have portion sizes: S, M, and L

This time, I got #24 M (which is chicken meat, slices of pork, fish cake, shrimp and rice noodle seeped in rich and velvety chicken & pork broth). It was delicious 😋 I already ate a few noodles and meat in the picture, but you can’t tell. 😆

The soup most likely has MSG— but as Uncle Roger says, that stands for make shi good.

Highly recommend coming here, esp on a cold winter day for some hearty warm soup for the soul 💖“

“Fast and friendly service. Always a pleasant experience“

“Great service.. The best Pho I’ve tasted.. The garlic fried rice delicious..“

“Definitely a gem. Had some delicious marinated steak and a Vietnamese coffee that tasted like it had more condensed milk than coffee. The steak sandwich was simple but so unbelievably delicious.

My only note is that the place could use some interior redecorating. The prices are amazing, however.“

“Very authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Pho broth was very flavorful. Had the rare filet mignon as well as the beef rib with oxtail. Very delicious. Also got a lychee rose tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. Will definitely come back and try the sizzling dishes which is what most of the other patrons were eating.“

“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.“

“Muoi muoi Coffee(5/5): yummy creamy coffee. They were able to make it less sweet which was great.
Pandan Matcha (5/5): good flavor.

The space is not too big so you may need to wait a bit for a table and avoid large groups.“

“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!!!“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“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.“

“What a find! We stopped here on A road trip and were craving Vietnamese food, like we always do. Pho Dublin exceeded our expectations. The Bahn Mi was delicious and fresh, the bread was perfectly crunchy and soft. The spring rolls are wrapped very well and all of their ingredients are super fresh. Definitely recommend the vermicelli bowl too. Make sure you stop by this place if you have the chance! Cravings = satisfied“
