38 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Poway

“Great food I had a bowl of Vietnamese favorite pho and love is“

“The food is delicious, flavorful, and authentic. This place offers simple sit down dining in addition to to-go ordering.

Our waiter brought us water, bowls for sharing (we didn't even have to ask!), and a small dessert at the end of the meal. For a place with to-go in the name, this kind of service was unexpected and very welcome.

I didn't see any incentives for leaving a good review, so the 4.9 stars that this restaurant has is well-earned through great food, great prices, and great service.“

“The food here is delicious..ate there twice and can't wait to go back.“

“Felt bad arriving pretty late; 1945 when they closed at 2030. However it was a long day of flights and our hotel was far away and reviews for this place suggested it was excellent. I'd wager a guess I've eaten at at least 100 pho establishments in my time on earth and for sure this one ranks in the top 5. The food was great. The beef ribs were AMAZING and those deep fried buns were to die for. The prices are very fair and portions filling for most any adult. Most importantly the broth was rich and had a good mouth feel. Beefy but very light almost as clear as a consomme.

Wish I lived in San diego so I could visit this more than once but gives me something to look forward to coming back for.“

“Don’t order with your eyes because you won’t finish… trust me, it’s that good! They have to have the “best” Viet BANH CUON (steamed rice rolls) in town! Also the best BANH Mi Chao (Beef, sausage, meatball, eggs, and French roll skillet) for a great value too! I will most definitely come back again …and I live 30 minutes away in East Chula Vista! I highly recommend. 5 STARS!!!“

“More than just a Bahn mi shop. Cali Baguette is an authentic Vietnamese eatery. Besides an amazing selection of sandwiches (btw you can actually smell the fresh baguettes being baked!) There is a multitude of snacks, drinks and desserts! The service and very warm hospitality are just as impressive as the food 👍 I will definitely be back again AND again!“

“This place is our go-to spot for Pho. Sooooo good every time. And we’ve tried a bunch of different spots in San Diego. We come all the way from San Diego because the broth is amazing and the portions are unmatched. You gotta try it to see for yourself!“

“The pho has huge serving size for the cost of about 14 bucks and the sandwiches are the best I've tried in el cajon. Even when I order to go they always make sure I have everything I need. The staff are always attentive to what we need and are very respectful and welcoming.“

“Photastic dining experience! The Best ever. Great service and timely in food preparation. The place to enjoy Pho in all of San Diego 5 stars review.“

“Ok the broth here was amazing but I was kind of forced into the filet mignon pho when I asked for the rare steak. I even ordered in Vietnamese. She insisted I have the filet.
It was good. And the broth is one of the better in San Diego. Not sure I'll go back. I want what I want.“

“Great portions and great taste. Very friendly servers, I recommend.“

“The soup/pho at this place is delicious. The service is very good. The restaurant as well as the restroom are very clean.

They just recently renovated the restaurant with a new floor and updated it with new tables and chairs. There are huge screens displaying the menu.“

“Amazing family owned Vietnamese restaurant. We were visiting from northern Virginia and this place was the best pho we have had. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re visiting the area. Owners are very nice and seem to know all their regular customers well.“

“Food is delicious with great affordable prices. Definitely worth the drive.“

“Fast service. Fresh Vegetables & delicious foods. Grilled & BBQ Kobe & Pork are to die for. Egg rolls are tops.“

“2nd time this week eating there. Nice, cozy place, great food, great service. High recommended.“

“Loved my impromptu dine-in experience! I was waiting for my car to be fixed and found Pho Ha Noi on Google since it was a short walk away. The dine-in experience is basic & straight forward - you order at the counter and they bring the food to you when it’s ready.

I tried the grilled shrimp vermicelli noodle bowl and an iced Vietnamese coffee to-go. The server was very friendly & efficient and the food was delicious! I loved the pickled vegetables, the veggies were fresh, and the shrimp was sautéed with perfectly crisp/golden garlic & onions. I would definitely eat here again since I’d like to try a tofu dish 😊“

“They have great vegetarian options and I haven’t been disappointed with a single dish. Very delicious!“

“I loved their manu, easy to read (clear display) and price- friendly! of course the food is very good!“

“The Ube Cheesecake was absolutely delicious! First I thought maybe I was too hungry these morning so I ordered their Basque cheesecake for take away and it wasn`t mistake! It is so tasty with gentle texture and ideal cool temperature for serving! Highly recommended to try!“

“As a gluten free person, I ordered the chicken fried rice with no soy sauce and no oyster sauce, and a passion fruit boba tea with no sugar (which tasted totally normal). I talked to a man on the phone before going and he said that the chicken fried rice was gf with no soy sauce, breading, wheat, or anything, but when I got there the server and manager had a bit of a harder time understanding me but we managed to come up with it being safe without those two sauces. I'm not celiac, but they did say they would take extra caution when preparing it. It tasted great even without any sauces on it.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free- the communication was difficult but we figured it out“

“One of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. This place knows exactly what a sandwich is supposed to be. It's filled with all the veggies you expect and you pick the protein you desire. I'll tell you this much... anything you order is going to taste good. We had thai tea and mango drink as well as egg roll and sesame balls with bean curd. So good!!! It was so good i couldnt finish it... but i ate the rest later in the day.. JUST AS GOOD..“

“Excellent banh mi, but so much more: incredible, stoked fusion food. Bahn Mi tacos, fries, breakfast burritos and crazy, fantastic salt and pepper wings. Anything you grew up with had a San Diego taco shop, but with Vietnamese spin and great service. You can't go wrong here.“

“My new favourite. Soooo goood!“

“I came here for dinner today. the food was delicious and worth the wait. the restaurant looked nice with the murals and the aquarium at the entrance. the workers were nice, too. they let you bring your egg roll sauce in a plastic container to take home, too. I would pretty much go here again!“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“Sipz Vegetarian Fusion Café in Clairemont is DELICIOUS! And ALL vegetarian! That’s right none of this is meat!! BBQ Chicken Appetizer and Tangy Orange Protein: "Chicken" Spice Level: Not Spicy (I forgot to take pictures before starting to eat sooo they give you more than what’s in the photos 🤣) You can even customize which type of protein you want and spice level so you get what you really want! And it is SO yummy!! I haven’t had Chinese in SO long!! ❤️“

“Definitely the type of hole in the wall you want to discover. These are the type places where it may not look like much but the food delivers.

We popped in on a whim, but as soon as we spell the food we new we had chosen the right place. The service was super friendly and welcoming, making our family feel comfortable and at home. We came for the Bahn Mi, but then mostly ordered for Pho as it smelled great. The Bahn Mi was so good we ordered another and the second was even better than the first!“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“The pho was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had—rich, aromatic broth that was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to perfection, soaking up all that deliciousness.“

“Great food and beautiful outdoor seating.“

“Second time here and the place was packed! QR code ordering makes the process easier and the food arrived in a timely manner. The Banh xeo crepe was crispy, tasty and very large. It is accompanied by a generous stack of fresh lettuce leaves, perilla leaves, and mint. The marinated pork was a little underseasoned but thankfully not overly salty. My kids enjoyed their pho but my son’s dac biet bowl only had a few small pieces of tendon.The dining room is a bit stuffy and a little untidy but even with the electronic ordering, there were still some staff members walking around to assist with requests.“

“I come here almost daily because I am obsessed with their match Tres leches with matcha boba and egg pudding. It's a combination that lives in my taste buds memory. like the marriage between a matcha frappe with flan. At the family table came boba and a snow cap that easily translates to tantalizing flavors jumping for joy! Then the Bahn mi is packed with the perfect ratio of meat, picked carrots, cucumber, and JALAPEÑOS!!! I love a jalapeño that delivers and these always hit the mark. The fact that the ingredients are fresh and natural are major brownie points.“

“Best soup in town, 12/10!!! If you are recovering from any type of illness, their soups do just the trick (angelic wolfberry and wonton especially). The broth is so fresh and you can tell it’s home made - without all the extra sodium and oils.“

“Fried garlic pork with steamed rice 😍“

“Tofu fresh spring rolls are delicious! Also the pho is very tasty.“

“I was craving pho and I found this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Many of the reviews raved about the Pho Filet so I had to try it out. Who doesn't love filet mignon? The broth was tasty and the meat was good. The bowl was a bit smaller as you can see on the length of the standard napkin in the picture.

Service was decent, but who goes to a pho place for service? The restaurant is a bit smaller, but I went at a time when it was not as busy. I would come back and try the other menu items when I am back in the area!“

“staff was warm and welcoming as we walked in. Super fast service, 3 different staff check on us to see if we needed anything. food came out in correct order, fresh, and hot! was a nice time. They even said thank you and goodbye on the way out which was nice. first time my hubby and I ate here, we will be back 😋“
