19 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Walnut Creek

“Delicious and fresh. Excellent vegetarian food. Great takeout service and online ordering.“

“Vanessa’s Bistro is hands down my favorite restaurant in Walnut Creek. I like to get out and try new places but yet I always find myself coming back to VB2 for amazing food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. It’s my favorite place to take friends that have never tried it. If you want to impress in a casual way it’s perfect for a first date or girls night out too. Try the Claypot Rice Or Prawns with mango and garlic butter noodles! Potstickers Chicken rolls All of it!“

“Such delicious food! The Thai tea is the best I've ever had. We got a table as soon as we got there, they took our order super fast and our food was out in less than ten minutes.

The egg rolls were super crispy and flavorful, and the spring rolls were very fresh. We got the #13 beef pho, and between three people it was plenty of food with the two roll dishes.

The broth with all of the sauces on the side was amazing. The quality and quantity of noodles was excellent for the price. I would definitely go back, especially for the Thai tea.“

“Prologue is an absolute treasure tucked inside the Walnut Creek Public Library, making it the perfect spot for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. Imagine checking out a book and then cozying up with a delicious cup of coffee and a fresh pastry—it doesn’t get better than this! The highlight of my visit is their Eggspresso. It’s a creamy, velvety masterpiece that pairs the boldness of espresso with an indulgent, smooth texture. A must-try for anyone looking for a unique coffee experience. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the welcoming presence of the owner adds such a personal touch and extra layer of hospitality to the space which is rare to find. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick pick-me-up or planning to spend the afternoon reading, Prologue is the perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended!“

“We often bring out-of-towners here because it's hard to find Laotian food outside of the Bay and Vientian Cafe always delivers. The menu is super extensive and very reasonably priced, so you can try a bunch of new things each time. We always get the nam kao and the lao sausage (which you can also take home frozen). Angel wings are also super addictive.

Food also travels well if you're looking for takeout. One of our favorite spots in the east bay!“

“Had the banh mi with grilled pork, and a Thai ice tea. The sandwich was tasty and the ingredients were fresh. It was the perfect size, at a good price. The service was fast and the staff was friendly. Since it's only 100 ft from the iron horse trail, it's a great place to stop for a break on a longer ride or walk. Added bonus is the bike rack in viewing distance from the cafe.“

“Came here randomly on a Tuesday afternoon while in Martinez. Saw the place and craved pho... so I decided to check it out.
I have pho in a lot of places and I can say this one didn't disappoint. I saw the negative reviews and feared I made the wrong choice but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the combo pho and the broth was tasty and it had plenty of meat. I also ordered the grilled pork Bahn Mi and it was fire!! The bread was warm and soft, the pork was seasoned perfectly and it was tasty and juicy. First time here was a success. I don't normally hang around Martinez but if I come back and crave pho, I'm coming here. Hopefully they are consistent next time :)“

“I hardly ever write reviews, but Chef Tiffany makes some incredible food! Menu changes every week, but every dish I’ve gotten has been so good! My favorite dish are the ribs and they are actually the best ribs I’ve ever had. This is the BEST Vietnamese food in the area! 10/10 would recommend, especially at the price!“

“A lot of places around here do decent pho, and this one is solid across the board. The beef pho is consistently good. The chicken has a slightly different style that works really well, especially when you’re not feeling great. The vegetarian is better than most pho spots manage, which is nice if you’re ordering for someone who doesn’t eat meat.

The bún bò Huế is also good, and I usually swap in egg noodles. Appetizers have all been fine.

I mostly stick to pho here and haven’t had a bad bowl.“

“Everything about this place is great. Just went for the first time and the food was amazing. Eggrolls were very crispy and flavorful! Beautifully done pork chop and the portion on my husband’s rice plate was filling and presented very clean. I got the steak and brisket pho soup full of flavor meat was cooked great not chewy at all the portion for a medium is a lot and the shrimp-spring rolls were so fresh!! Definitely coming back. Try their avocado smoothie!!“

“Went tonight for the first time with my family after the tree lighting and it was a great experience. Music was soft, place was busy but not overcrowded, all the people were nice patrons and staff, and the food was good. I personally enjoyed the beef stew noodle soup dish and will definitely be back for more of that for sure.

Kid-friendliness: My wife and my two young children and myself attended. There were other families with young children we got to meet and greet throughout our dining experience and the staff incredibly kind and nice to our family especially our babies.“

“I brought my parents to eat here. My dad loves pho! Their service was great. The food arrived quickly. The food was delicious. We had grilled pork Vietnamese sandwiches, grilled pork vermicelli bowl, spring rolls, and BBQ pork and wonton pho. (can you tell we love grilled pork?) the pork was delicious! The sandwiches were not dry. We completely enjoyed our meal and had a very nice time together. I would highly recommend this place for both dining in and takeout.“

“This place is so good. Nice, clean and well decorated neighborhood restaurant, with consistently delicious authentic Viet food. My favorite dish here is the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup). The key is asking for mam ruoc (shrimp paste) to add to the broth, it makes extra pungent and salty. Love it.“

“The broth was really greasy, taste was good. I would think 3 times before drinking their water though, I had a cup of water and had a really weird taste. Just one zip and I stopped drinking it. Idk what that was about. Spring rolls were good, the service is ok.“

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

“Good Vietnamese Restaurant wonderful menu nice size dining room plus outdoor seatingI like the option to dine outside on a pretty nice day someone was talking our order minutes after looking at the menu food was there in like ten minutes large portions very tasty reasonably priced. This place blows any fast food restaurant out of the water.“

“Was there for lunch today the Pho ga tom shrimp rice noodle soup was great and had a fair amount of shrimp service was excellent I had a short timeframe for lunch today and when we placed our order it was in front of us in a few minutes and more fulfilling the last noodle house I went to in Concord“

“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!!!“
