Ever dish is so delicious here. Can not wait for the reopening
I know people get upset about the prices of food when they could have ordered the same dish at a different restaurant but to be fair the establishment themselves usually aren’t as swanky, sometimes you’ll have 30 minute waits and bad parking at other Vietnamese restaurants. So it’s the same dishes at a nicer venue. Vietnamese bathrooms are horrendous and a lot of places are cash only. I don’t think it’s fair to be expecting more for the same price. Some people don’t enjoy sitting at cheap tables with tiled floors and that’s okay. Food is delicious and the people are nice.
Good food, done well. Look at appetizers as well. You can save a bit.....I did! Oh, and the grilled onion wrapped with beef.....Ohhh, sooo, good. You will love it. They where busy when I was last there, but the very first time, I sat near the door at this little cozy table next to the wall where the bathroom door is, I didn’t really get check on, which was a bit unnerving....but, anyway I was comfortable, had a Tsingtao beer and my fav., grilled onion wrapped with beef and a salad.
Visiting my kids in Los Altos and they decided to revisit Vung Tau (I had never heard of it), a truly wonderful Vietnamese restaurant --- we shared 5-6 dishes; really loved the beef/onion rolls especially. The hostess greeted us warmly and the server, a young woman named Tramy, was exceptionally pleasant and helpful. great meal here. this is a very good restaurant. many Vietnamese people came in to eat. the calamari was over cooked but everything else was great
Upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Service is okay. Food is okay. But I can get the same thing for a better price at other Vietnamese restaurants. However, nice decor and the bathrooms are quite clean!
Really amazing dinner. Would recommend trying the catfish pot with rice, and their shrimp appetizers
Horrible experience. We have been regulars at Vung Tau for over a decade and their service has gotten increasingly worse. Tonight we arrive at 8:25 for a 8:45 kitchen close order. Restaurant closes at 9 pm and no later than 9:01 did they start to shoo you put of the restaurant. Made you pay before your food came as server was in rush to leave, cleaners turned on the vacuum at 9:05 and the host at 9:15 told us we had overstayed our welcome. What restaurant that accepts customers until 8:45 and delivers food to people table at 9 pm shoo their customers a minute later? Extra frustrating part was that it was my father's bday and they brought out dessert same time as food with an unlit candle and said they had to deliver early as they were leaving. :(( I refuse to go back there.
Ok ; this is a place that you have to Try at least once in your lifetime. Yes I mean it.
Sweet is the primary taste profile here, not the sophistication and balance Vietnamese food is appreciated for. Everything is full of sugar, almost like the food of Central Java. Chicken stir fry was sweet and the dishes that weren't sweet were bland. Avoid this place.
You can get some good Vietnamese food here. Seems to be somewhat authentic and good quality food.

It feel an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, because most Vietnamese restaurant I been to are not this clean, cozy and proper. The food is good but more pricey, some dish are very salty tho. The services are much like the services I get from a non Asian restaurant.
Outstanding location for tasty Vietnamese food. The prices are good for what you get.
Fancy Vietnamese food. Does that ever work?
I've been going to this restaurant for many years and it's been open for over 40 plus years and to say that you know the food is delicious consistent and awesome I give it five stars never been disappointed
The shrimp won ton noodles soup was available for dinner as well even though it's listed as lunch food. Yum! Perfect for single diner fast food. Seems a popular place for families as well as couples. It is quite a large restaurant set to cater for a crowd as required.
