50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Spring Valley

“This place is so small but so yummy . I went there to order to go around 8 pm Super Bowl night.. it’s expected it was a slow night . I got to go since the lady told me they close early it was No problem at all .. service was good super friendly . I always make sure to come when she’s working she’s super helpful

I been here for few months always get Pho Dac Biet, egg rolls and chicken wings .“

“I’ve been coming here for many years, and I’ve traveled almost all over the world, but I’ve never found Vietnamese food that tastes like this place. The flavors are truly special and consistent every time.

I was also lucky enough to know the owner, Jonathan. Rest in peace. You will be terribly missed. Who is going to come to my table and yell “hello friend” now? It will never be the same without you.“

“We went there after seeing all of the fantastic reviews both on Google and Yelp as well as seeing this place in Yelp’s list for the top 100 restaurants in the country. We are not huge fans of vegan but went there anyway to give it a shot. And, oh my, everything was amazing from the food, the service and the atmosphere. It’s a small place located near North Park and so it’s not like you are going to stumble upon it. The best thing I can say about this place is that if you didn’t know it was vegan, you would be thinking you are eating meat. Most of our dishes had “beef” but it was great. We had the dumplings, pani puri, noodles and a dish with steamed rice. Trae, our server, was soooo helpful. Highly recommend you give it a shot.“

“Nice staff. Great food. They serve you a plate of salad w/ homemade tofu and a pitcher of lemon water with no extra charge once you're seated. At the end they serve you ice cream, no extra charge too!“

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

“My wife and I eat here easily once a week. We celebrated NYE dinner around 6:30, and it was pretty busy. The owner and two other employees were quick and made sure everyone was seated, order was taken, and had what they needed at all times. Food took a little longer, as expected, but they were kind enough to bring out a complimentary order of wings that we got to try for the first time! Incredibly delicious, I was only able to take a picture after not before lol. We will be ordering them from now on as an appetizer! If you try any new pho restaurants in San Diego this year, make sure this location is at the top of your list!! Our go to orders are as follows: Signature pho, beef rib pho, shaking beef, Thai iced tea, Vietnamese coffee, watermelon smoothie, matcha latte, and now the wings. Huge thank you to the staff and ownership for such an amazing restaurant. We can’t wait for more meals this new year :)“

“Their food is good and prices are decent, I have been here 3-5 times and always get a spring roll with pork and shrimp one time it had a big hair rolled in the middle they immediately remade it, honestly I am still pretty grossed out, they need to be more careful when making their food.“

““It smells good in here! “that was so yummy and delicious!” all and more was said by my 3 year old. So he gives 5 stars. I really liked the food too. Our third time here and each time good service and delicious food. Will def be back. Thanks!“

Customer service was amazing and even though they were a little pack they were attendant of everyone.

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

“Had their egg rolls with the rice paper a year ago from a co-worker who brought a tray in to work. Haven't stopped thinking about it.

But somehow, it wasn't as good as I remembered it. Still good but a little too dry and too salty.
Bahn mi was great.

Not much of a seating area so beware if you plan on eating in.
They only take cash.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not much room for wheelchair“

“Best food, drink, service and atmosphere I have experienced in a long time. Rivals Michelin restaurants.“

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

“I really enjoyed the vegetarian Pho and the fresh coconut. The Tofu spring rolls were okay. I’m sure the meat spring rolls are more tasty.

Overall great experience, really good Pho base. Super Fast service. Perfect meal on a cold day.“

“the service is great and fast plus the food is awesome 👌 💯“

“Not familiar with restaurants in this area we decided to give this place a try. It was a great lunch. We ordered the house vermicelli and the meatballs pho.
The meat of the vermicelli was tasty, and the veggies were fresh.
The pho had a good flavor.
The mango slushy was delicious.
We are planning on coming back, this time to try their stew that looks great.“

“bueno y limpio...el mejor PHO DE LA REGION“

“Their menu is very simple but the food is great! I love their soup(s)!“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“Wanted to try the authentic-ness of the place I like it and i would go again, I would definitely recommend some people cos' you know everyone has different taste buds Lol , and their customer service was awesome 🖒“

“Excelente comida 🥘 y atención“

“Good service, good atmosphere, great food“

“In a city where coffee is mediocre and the shops are performative, Saigon Coffee stands among the few offering truly delicious selections. I ordered their original and was delighted and how bold and rich the flavor is. As someone who suffers from phlegm coughs, the drink gave me no such issue.“

“Authentic Vietnamese place serving only 4 dishes. But if you like made to order banh cuon (steamed rice rolls), cha lua (steamed pork loaf), or best of all, gio chien (fried pork paste), you really won’t be disappointed. These simple items are much better than what’s available elsewhere because of the ingredients and because of their freshness. Yum!

Note: You can reheat the fried pork paste in an air fryer at home and it still tastes good, but when it just comes out, the smell of it is so irresistible!“

“I loved !!! great food and service“

“Ordered 4 dishes for takeout. The heavenly papaya salad, garlic chicken bowl, fried shrimp noodle bowl, and the pho fried noodle. Didn’t care much for the papaya salad. The dressing seems to be missing something. Taste diluted. The chicken bowl was good and flavorful. The shrimp noodle bowl was good but wish they give more shrimp. There was only two shrimp. The fried pho noodle was oily and the noodle was hard. No taste at all but just oily. I do wish they have more options tho. And the portion was pretty small and pricy.“

“Excellent 🍲 Pho, the spring rolls are very good. The place is small but very cozy.“

“We tried this restaurant two nights ago, for the first time. I called and placed an order, it was ready in like 15 minutes for pick up. Brought it home and devoured every bite! We got the BBQ Pork rice plate, BBQ Chicken rice plate, steak Pho, and egg rolls. It was enough for my husband, two of my children, and myself. It was absolutely delicious!“

“Good authentic food. Great service“

“Authentic and delicious. Definitely my go to when it comes to catering and lunch when I’m in the area“

“This food to go restaurant, cook so good and delicious, the price is good too cheap than other restaurant , I love they cook. I think a lot people liked too“

“Absolutely the most of the most! The veggies are abundant fresh and crispy. the pork is tender and flavorful and the tiny rice noodles are hot and well cooked. they serve it with large lettuce leaves that you wrap all the goodies up as a Vietnamese burrito. and dip it into a flavorful sauce called fish sauce but it is not fishy and does not taste like fish. Tops! Every dish is tops. and the soups are also fun to try. A fun meal pretty much describes the Saigon Restaurant. Thank you, Victor. He's the top cheese there. I'm so happy this restaurant survived the pandemic.“

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

“Classic..................“

“good food and awesome customer service“

“Absolutely the best I’ve tasted Better than pho ca dao and cow pho and any other places. It would be my reg spot if it wasn’t so far. The price is a lil higher but so worth it I’m telling you. I ordered #1. There’s a language barrier and I ordered more noodles and meat but only got noodles but it was still so good. The salt and pepper chicken was ok but not the typical I’m use to. I had a couple try it they liked it but it def was different. Menu is amazing so much to pick. Taro boba avg but presentation of everything is so good highly recommend. I’ll be returning def“

“BEST Ice coffee I’ve had in a long time. I had chugged quite a bit before the picture. I ordered the large coffee and strong and #11 SW special combo and already ate half before I was compelled to write a review. I also ordered the L Pate Chaud Chicken pastry and it was so buttery and flakey it didn’t even have a chance of making it in the picture. I can see why the coffee is #1 ordered nothing fancy but definitely a coffee lovers wonderful surprise, and for a sandwich shop! I’ll definitely be coming again especially for the coffee!“

“Always great I get vip service when I come here the food is always great“

“My friend invited me to her favorite pho spot, House of Pho, for a girls' lunch, and I can't believe I hadn't been here before—wow! While pho is their specialty, I decided to try the BBQ chicken rice plate, and I absolutely loved it. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled, served with fragrant rice and a delicious side of broth that added an extra comforting touch.

The portions were generous, and the flavors were on point. The service was quick and friendly, making the experience even better. Whether you're in the mood for pho or something else, House of Pho is definitely worth a visit. I’m already looking forward to coming back!“

“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.“

“Great location with great food.“

“I have eaten Vietnamese cuisine throughout California, and Grandpa Tao ranks among the best. In addition to the amazing tastes, the casual restaurant is friendly and comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, the environment clean and relaxing. I particularly recommend the Pho, the Rice Vermicelli (try it!) and the Shaking beef. You'll like it.“

“Yummy pho 🍜👍🏽😀 Friendly. 🤍“

“Ran in bc another pho restaurant up the street completely ignored me when I asked for a take out order.. This was fresh delicious gentleman was so kind & I'm eating leftovers next day as I type this. Delicious !!! Closer to home easier to access. Plenty of parking!!“

“What a find! Completely unexpected gem in Chula Vista. Food was absolutely amazing. My garlic noodles with pork belly was the best pork belly I've ever had. By far. The cut of pork and preparation were perfect. My UK coworker gave a huge 2 thumbs up for their fish and chips. Said it was legit. Another coworker raved about their bao buns. Drinks from the bar were great as well. A must visit when in San Diego.“

“Delicious place to soup for lunch“
