26 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Redwood City

“A pretty decent family owned Vietnamese restaurant. It’s been a while we saw traditional dripping coffee, so we really liked it. The taste was authentic.For the food, we ordered one Shrimp spring rolls, one Grilled pork ball spring rolls and one Pho Tai. Pho was decent, the broth was just okay. The other two dishes were good. But, I agreed the price was quite expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I have tried.I think they kinda lack of staff because one lady took the job of waiter + cashier + preparing drinks, one uncle served food and cleaned up tables, and there seemed to be only one chef. Thus, it took a bit of time for food to be served. But, the lady was very nice. She chatted with us for a bit while serving our drinks and during checkout.

“I absolutely loved my visit here! The service was top-tier—our server was attentive without being overbearing and made excellent recommendations. The food was a burst of flavors; the pho was hearty and flavorful, while the banh mi had the perfect crunch. The ambiance was cozy yet chic, with a relaxed vibe and soft lighting that set the perfect tone for a great meal. It's the kind of place you can visit time and time again and always have a fantastic experience.“

“Had the vegetarian spring roll, banh mi, and pho. Flavors were good especially helpful for cold. Add little spicy sauce to make the pho taste even better. Service was great and very polite. Would recommend if you are looking for vegetarian options.“

“We love this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and delicious.“

“Bahn Mi are the best sandwiches in the universe. And these M Sandwiches are
some of the best on our planet.
If you've never had a Vietnamese sandwich, try one here and you'll surely come back again and again.
And, No!
Vietnamese sandwiches are not spicy, but simply delicious, full of fresh and pickled vegetables and your choice of meats . You can add your own slivers of fresh jalapenos, as provided on the side, if you want to spice it up a bit. Friendly, quick service, and delightful tastes and textures.“

“Great food❤️Great service, great atmosphere.“

“We are regulars at The Pho Cabin and have had it dozens of times because the broth here was so good. Last time we went there, something was off with the broth and noodles. The noodles were mushy and the broth tasted like salt water. It may have been just a one-off, but with so many good pho places in the area, we haven’t been there since.“

“If you’re looking for a place with authentic Vietnamese cuisine, you’ve found it. The people here are kind and genuine. I have nothing but positive things to say about the culture they bring to this area. Do not miss out on an opportunity to eat here. Especially if you’re from out of town!

Kid-friendliness: They don’t mind kids. All types of families here.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all tables you can remove the chair from and put a wheelchair“

“This place is a neighborhood gem! We keep coming back to Pho Avenue for its wonderfully fresh and flavorful food in a relaxed, casual setting. The staff is always so welcoming (Vin, in particular, is great!), which makes every visit a pleasure.

A huge plus is their dedicated vegetarian menu section, with plenty of delicious and vegan-friendly choices. My go-to order is the #17 Vermicelli Noodle with Tofu. Pro tip: For a little extra, I swap the fried egg roll for their amazing vegetarian summer rolls.

If you’re craving something more spicy, try the #16. White Rice - Chilli Lemongrass Tofu Spicy.

Just a heads-up: parking in the area can be tricky during peak lunch times, but it's always been worth the effort for us. Highly recommend!“

“I really enjoyed the banh mi with pork floss and pate. The floss lent a sweet, salty, umami flavor. The bread was fresh and soft. The pickles: mildly tangy. So good.

Food arrived in a timely manner, and the ambience outdoors on a Sunday afternoon was wonderful.

Given the recent string of negative reviews, I was a little hesitant about visiting, but was ultimately very satisfied and would go again.

My only wish is for them to have a hot tea option - not just boba and smoothies. It was early afternoon so caffeine wasn't appealing, and I wanted something lighter to complement the food.“

“Busy Vietnamese restaurant. Big menu with many tasty options, variety of soups, noodles, sandwiches, rice dishes. We had to wait over 15 minutes for our order, but it was a busy lunch rush. After hat our food was delivered promptly. Food was delicious.“

“The service was great along with the explanations of our Pho choices.“

“When I need warm comfort food, this is my go-to. That's usually during a tough work day and I need to get away from the office for some pho. I call ahead and it's ready when I arrive for pickup. They package it well so it won't leak, the noodle and veggies are separate from the broth, and it's piping hot. My favorite dish is vegetarian pho. The portion is huge so I usually eat half and save the rest for the next day. I love it!

Vegetarian options: Mostly meat/seafood dishes but you can find lots of tofu options. Good for gluten-free with their rice noodle dishes.“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“Fast friendly service and delicious food“

“Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.

Vegetarian options: Counter style gives you options but ask servers on specific ingredients used

Parking: Stanford University parking system in effect while free parking lots are further situated with the use of free shuttles

Kid-friendliness: Ample options for kid's tastes

Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious seating outdoors but ordering has to be done by counter“

“I like the ambience and enjoy the cuisine. Bring back lots is nostalgia!“

“Pho Little Saigon is a cozy spot for a hearty winter lunch. Their large pho bowl of PHỞ BÒ VIÊN TÁI (beef balls and rare steak), paired with a Soda Chanh, is a perfect combo. The broth is rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, while the portions offer an excellent meat-to-noodle ratio, ensuring every bite is balanced and hearty. The service is quick, though table cleanup can occasionally lag. Seating is self-serve, and clean tables are generally available. At around $20 for a large bowl, the price feels fair for the portion and quality. A great place to warm up and enjoy comforting Vietnamese cuisine.“

“It was good but not great. I have had better pho but I’ve definitely had worse pho. The prices are quite steep ($19-$20 for a large bowl). They are quite generous with noodle and meat portions though. Service is very quick! You pay at the register. I still think you would get more bang for your buck at a local pho place in SJ/Little Saigon and a better meal too.“

“Super Thai / Chinese blend of food; good quality; freshly cooked; nice ingredients and variety, especially in our vegetarian dishes. Calm and relaxed atmosphere of a family run place, served by owner herself ( Jenny), and not at all fast or felt rushed with service.

Hot n sour vegetarian soup, kumpao tofu, Singapore noddle were very well made. Would love to try other vegetarian options next time - eggplant, Tom kha soup and spring rolls. Even the spicy sauce is nicely done a bit sour goes well with all dishes and even plain jasmine rice.

Recommend for Palo Alto midtown folks to patronize this place. Open 7 days, hard working family run.“

“Healthy options Good price“

“My favorite pho ga. You know it's good when it doesn't need to be meddled with. The broth bursts with great flavor content. Best thing, they don't use msg! No bloat, no headache. Maybe just a little bit more thirsty, likely from the sodium content. They attain maximum flavor, but I'm a simple girl. Most if not all of their staff is vietnamese so sometimes you'll get a limited response, but to your advantage the food is authentic in that same way. They're super, super kind and service is quick. Place is clean, peaceful. My only complaint is that the spray they use to clean tables off is way too strong and it's a bit unpleasant if it's while you're eating. Otherwise, this is definitely my go-to, without a doubt.“

“Great food and nice people! It’s a family run/owned business. They have a wide selection at low prices! The pho is the best I’ve had in the SF Bay Area! Always a great choice of where to eat.

Nobody asked me to make this post, but this place is a hidden gem and I want people to know.“

“It's hard to describe how great this place is, I have been there twice and this is the valentine day lunch. Notice the little details, tiny mint leaves on one piece, tobiko on another. Everything is fresh and pops with flavor. You can really tell they care about the food they put out. If this was a regular restaurant in Belmont there would be lines out the door every day.“

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