50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Braintree

“Absolutely delicious food“

“Discovery: My family was visiting in town near the mall so I took them for a shopping day and lunch in the South Shore Plaza Mall. When we entered the mall we heard the drums playing and followed them to see the opening (relocation) ceremony Lion Dance for Lumi. While there I saw a friend who absolutely recommended we try it (He was there eating with his family of 4). Food: After shopping my parents and I dropped in and got our first ever Banh Mi (Vietnamese Sandwiches). I tell you these sandwiches (we got the grilled beef) were incredible! They were filled with fresh veggies and bursting with flavor. We also tried the Vietnamese eggs rolls which were good. Restaurant style- It is a small restaurant on the main floor of the mall. It has seating and very cute interior design (it is open to the mall corridor.) It also has it's own bathroom - which is really nice in a mall setting. You order by walking up to the counter and you pick your food up from the counter when they call your number (No table service). Food comes out quick. Depending on the time of day it can get quite a crowd. Highly Recommend if you love a really amazingly fresh sandwich! I will absolutely go back. I already sent friends who loved it too!“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“I had been looking for a new Viet restaurant for a just over a month now. I had their Banh Xeo and their sterfried grilled lemongrass Chichen, and let me tell you it delicious!! Great atmosphere too!“

“My friends and I had a wonderful lunch at Pho 89 in Randolph, MA the past few days ago. We all enjoyed and appreciated the great services from Huy Huynh, server. He is not only doing his job very well; but also very pleasant and professional. This is one of the reasons that we always go back to Pho 89.“

“Came in on a busy Sunday night with my friends and we were honestly so impressed! The service was excellent given how busy it was and the food came out pretty fast! Our servers, Andy and Tu, were very friendly, attentive, and helpful in guiding us through the menu and offering recommendations. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Their pho is pho-nominal!
I taste the broth before adding siracha and it was full flavored and delicious. I ordered a small and it was plenty packed with noodles and meat.
Their menu is huge and offer many different options .
Definitely will come back when in the area .
Service was great and fast.“

“First time there… delicious! Love it! Thank you“

“Pho #1 lives up to its name #1!!! So good 😊“

“Gao Vietnamese Kitchen has won my heart over or should I say my stomach..haha If you love Vietnamese food then Gao is a must-visit gem with its authentic and unique cuisine that truly impresses on every level. Each dish we savored at this cute and cozy Dorchester restaurant was a culinary treat and delight, hitting all the right spots, from the lip-smacking banh coun to the addictive chicken and banana blossom salad, every bite was a journey of flavors. The free ice tea added a touch of authenticity to the dining experience as if I were back in Vietnam. The vegetarian pho and fresh spring rolls were exceptional, showcasing the diverse offerings on their extensive menu that’s priced right for the large portions. Moreover, the warm and diligent staff elevated our dining experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The owner Sy Le was the nicest guy, he really cares about his customers and his employees and it shows! Gao Vietnamese Kitchen is a standout among Vietnamese restaurants, capturing both heart and stomach with its delicious food and exceptional service.“

“Solid spot for a quick Vietnamese meal.

Been here a few times for breakfast. It’s one of the few Asian spots around that opens at 7 a.m. daily. The menu isn’t as expansive as some of the more popular Vietnamese restaurants in Dorchester, but they do offer a handful of pre-packaged items like spring rolls and sticky rice.

I usually came in around opening when the sticky rice was still warm, and the version topped with chicken sausage and pork was quite good. Portions were smaller than what you’d get at some other Vietnamese spots, but the flavor was better. I also tried the bánh khọt (shrimp pancakes) and the grilled pork combo rice plate. Both solid, but not particularly memorable.

My main issue was the pricing. Since prices aren’t listed on the overhead menu, items were rung up as “custom” at the register. Without an itemized receipt, it was hard to tell whether I was being charged correctly, and the total felt a bit high for a place like this. I’d recommend paying cash or asking for a menu with prices to avoid any surprises.“

“My wife and I absolutely love coming to Pho Le. The food and service here are consistently excellent. Every time we visit, we order the grilled fish with rice wrappers and fresh mint vegetables — it’s become our go-to dish, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, Pho Le delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!“

“A very positive experience! I can tell a lot of care is put into the food and the employees are extremely kind and knowledgable. Prices:portions also feel fair.“

“Wow!! My friends and I had a fantastic dining experience tonight. Lovely and energetic dining space. The food was delicious, beautiful, and in plentiful portions. I am eager to return back! Thank you to the owner Daniel for the excellent service. This spot is great for date nights, family dinner, and solo dining.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Boston i never would hesitate to recommend. I like the atmosphere, the service is always friendly and pretty quick, I’ve always found everything delish eating in or take out! I keep coming back for the Tom Kha Noodle Soup. Gotta take a pic of mine next time.“

“The drink was not outstanding. A lot of people were sitting inside working on their laptops, so there wasn't seating. The cafe would benefit from being cleaned. The garbage was too full. I think the bar needs to be raised if the stars/reviews are so high.“

“An rat ngon👍👍😀cac ban oi. Mom nao cung ngon het“

“Great time, good price, and the food came out fresh. Highly recommended“

“Delicious delicious delicious. The rice was the perfect texture and intense of the flavor of true fresh chicken broth. The service was very friendly and quick, too. And to top it off the decor is cleanly contemporary. Bravo! I hope nyc gets one asap too!“

“Great meal for a family of 4.“

“The banh mi are all very testy with crispy airy bread and lots filling. I've had them both spicy and not spicy, def go with spicy they just have sliced jalapenos in them but don't nuke your taste buds. I've had noodle soup dishes and vermicelli dishes from here as well and all taste very authentic and delicious. some ppl said this place lacks customer service, I personally think it adds to the restaurant IMO all the experiences I've had in places around Asia its always more about the food than customer service. I do understand how here ppl think they go hand in hand in food service but for a quick authentic delicious bite I highly suggest this place!“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“The pho is delicious and smoothies are amazing!“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“Fantastic lil hole in the wall.
Located in the heart of canton center, Phó 29 is a small restaurant run by a husband and his wife, and named for his son's birthday. The portions are incredibly generous, and the food is delicious.“

“Phở ngon to da ngon xuất sắc. Nước pho dam da.“

“Customer service and food is EXCELLENT!!! My recommendations are #3, #8, #63, & #65. A Must Try! 🙌🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

““Pho-get about your ex—this beef is the real love story.”

Went to Pho 2000 for a casual meal, left spiritually awakened by the vinegar and butter beef. I don’t know who thought, “Let’s drown beef in butter and vinegar,” but I would trust them with my taxes, and maybe even my heart.

The beef? So tender it probably writes poetry in its spare time. The vinegar gave it a sharp sass, like your favorite aunt who always tells it like it is. And the butter? Smooth. Seductive. Basically the Barry White of sauces.

I dipped, I sizzled, I questioned every meal I’d ever had before this.

If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor—go.

But be warned: your taste buds might file a restraining order because you’ll keep coming back for more.“

“Sandwiches are incredible.My favorite is the Roast Pork Banh mi.Would have posted a photo but demolished the sandwich.Everything is fresh.The parking lot is fast and furious.Coffee is great espresso with condensed milk DELICIOUS..Cash onlyEasier, if you speak Vietnamese..

Parking: Very busy parking lot“

“Tried for first time with my wife, we both loved our Bahn mi sandwiches! Requested hot peppers on them, and there was just the right amount (we both like hot and spicy). Lot's of fresh ingredients, filled us up too and we're both good eaters. Nice staff, we'll be back!“

“My first visit here. I had a dish where you make your own rice paper rolls with a protein. I had pork and it came with peanuts, carrots, watercress, cucumber, rice and a sweet mild fish sauce. It was delicious and fun. I didn't finish and for my to go box they included a fresh container of the dipping sauce so I was able to have the exact same thing again at home.“

“I've been coming here recently with my family whenever I'm home visiting from Jersey. Always get the tofu or shrimp spring rolls. They're delicious and portions are huge. I either get the chow fun noodles with tofu or veggie fried rice. Always delicious, especially the chow fun. Tried their smoothies and they are good, thick and heavy.

Service is quick when it's not busy, but there are usually a good amount of staff when it is. Always a highlight when visiting home!“

“My recommendations are the Bánh Hỏi Đặc Biệt and Cơm Tay Cầm Chay! The place itself was a relaxing experience and I’d definitely come back here!“

“Excellent food and service! Will try it again soon!“

“A great variety of Banh Mi sandwiches as well as delicious. Can't wait to try something new next time. Great service!“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“Seafood“

“Food is great, ordered a pho and a spring roll 😋“

“Excellent drunken noodle and Tom yum with shrimp!. Can't wait to go back and try the Pho!“

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“Very authentic and yummy Vietnamese food if you want to grab something quick on the go!
They are incredibly generous (especially with the amount of meat for the Banh Mi) and it’s so delicious and fresh!! It’s a great combination of satisfying your craving for Vietnamese food without having to sit down at a restaurant to get it. The only thing I personally would skip the milk teas but I love the Vietnamese iced coffee and fruit teas :)“

“The best banh mi you can find in Boston outside of Dorchester! Highly recommend the lemongrass beef sandwich 😋 easily customizable too on ordering screens (+/- and more or less of mayo, pâté, jalapeños, veggies on the side, etc) the service is always really friendly as well. Not many places where $9 gets you food like this nowadays!“

“This was my first time going to Soup Shack and I was very impressed. It’s a small place, but the server was very kind and food came out pretty fast. The spicy miso beef ramen was delicious with the perfect amount of spice. Overall, I think I will definitely visit again“

“Some of the best authentic banh mi around . I've been going there almost 10 years. Same great food at same cheap prices . I'd recommend going just to try you'd be surprised. From the sandwiches to the rice or noodle bowls and boba drinks. A must try!“

“I’ve been coming to this location since 2006, 19 years and counting! I’ve had countless bánh mì sandwiches over the years, but none have ever come close to how good this spot is..

The owner is such a warm, kind, and wonderful woman, and her grandson, who also works here is just as friendly and genuine. They make you feel like family every time you stop by.

I absolutely love this place and will always come back. It’s a true gem that’s stood the test of time!“

“Always a good idea!!! I go often“

“Great Hidden Gem for a Casual Seafood Fix

The Experience:
This is a no-frills seafood market/fish fry spot with a mini market vibe. Alongside freshly prepared seafood meals, they offer a small selection of Vietnamese pantry items: things like sauces, spices, and rice. You place your food order at the register toward the back left, where there’s a menu posted. Service was fast and friendly; I was quoted just 15 minutes for my order. They accept credit cards (always a plus), and there are a couple of chairs if you want to wait inside.

The staff was friendly and efficient, and I appreciated that they skipped the tipping screen, especially refreshing given how tipping expectations have spiraled lately. The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes and quality.

The Food:
I ordered the fish and chips and had a choice between haddock and catfish, I went with the haddock. I also grabbed some egg rolls on the side. A nice touch: they include a bottled water with the meal.
• Fish: Generous portion, well-seasoned, and tasted very fresh. Definitely a standout. (5/5)
• Fries: Crispy, plentiful, and satisfying. Nothing fancy, just solid. (4/5)
• Coleslaw: A bit too creamy for my taste, but it had a nice tang. The only real letdown was the portion—it felt more like a garnish than a side. (3/5)
• Egg Rolls: Came with sweet and sour sauce. These were average, nothing special. (2.5/5)

The rating 4.5/5:
This place is a great option if you’re craving a quick, well-executed seafood meal without the fuss. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes. If you’re in the area and want solid fried seafood at a fair price, this spot is worth checking out.“

“Banh Mi Ba Le is a famous and well known Banh Mi as well as other Vietnamese dishes shop served right inside of Kam Man Market.

The prices are pretty good for the portion they provide, and the staff are friendly and serve the food quite quickly.

We typically get the bbq beef banh mi. At $8, it is well worth the price, and made fresh right in front of you with an assortment of vegetables as well as a sweet mayo appearing sauce they put on the bread. We've also tried the cold cut, but found it less appetizing with the Pate spread they place on it, giving it a weird taste we didn't enjoy.“
