12 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Boulder

“Awesome restaurant!! Food is great ☺“

“We walked in expecting a couple vegan options and were pleasantly surprised when we saw everything was vegan! A cool pit stop and filling lunch stop. Lots of variety for each dish. Would totally recommend! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-07“

“Really good! The servers are kind but often times seem swamped. Sometimes only one person is servicing the entire restaurant. Their beef spring rolls are immaculate and their pho is aromatic w/ the noodles having a nice chew, and the sprouts are always fresh!! My personal favorite is the lemongrass chicken noodle bowl! Arguably the best pho restaurant in Boulder.“

“There are places that placed the priority on the atmosphere to the detriment of the food being served. May Wah has consistently delivered great food, lots of choice, in the neighborhood for as long as I can remember. Don't get me wrong: the atmosphere is most agreeable...(they have a round table with lazy Susan for instance) but the star of this show are the menu choices. I recommend you give them a try!“

“I was in town for the night , so decided to order take out. I loved my pork Vermicelli with egg rolls, I also got an order of egg rolls, I loved having the salad like veggie sides and sprigs of Basil and cilantro, needless to say I have lunch for tomorrow.. and got a nice little welcome 1st time diner gift. Super yummy meal“

“Fantastic food. Gluten free options you can't get anywhere else. 10 out of 10 stars.“

“It’s a smaller restaurant, but it’s very cozy and a nice place to sit after a long day and talk with friends or wait for the bus. The two chefs were very kind. A lot of people seem to get take out here, but don’t be scared to eat in the restaurant too - as stated, it’s very cozy.“

“Great Pho! Our favorite in the area.“

“Boulder Pho in Longmont was an incredible dinner stop and one of the most enjoyable meals we had during our visit. Service was quick, friendly, and efficient, allowing us to settle in and enjoy the food without a long wait.

What We Tried:

• Rare Steak & Beef Ball Pho – This was the standout dish of the evening. The broth was rich and flavorful, not watered down like some pho can be. It had a wonderful depth of flavor with just the right balance of warmth and seasoning, making each spoonful feel like a comforting hug. The fresh Thai basil added a bright, aromatic element that elevated the entire bowl. Even the small size was a generous portion—more than I could finish.

• Cashew Chicken – Beautifully presented and generously portioned. The vegetables retained a nice crunch, and the dish had a clean, balanced flavor that allowed the ingredients to shine without becoming overly heavy or salty.

• Lavender Boba Tea – Refreshing and unique. The lavender flavor was prominent without tasting perfumy, and the sweetness was restrained, allowing the floral notes to come through. Served ice cold, it was the perfect complement to the meal.

From the quality of the ingredients to the thoughtful preparation, every item we tried was enjoyable.

Would I return? Absolutely. There were several other dishes on the menu that caught my eye, and I would gladly come back to explore more of what Boulder Pho has to offer.“

“We come here probably once a week - no lie. My entire family loves this place and we have never, ever had a bad meal. Literally our favorite place for Chinese in the area!“
