41 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Burlington

“We consider ourselves foodies and ordered take out last week and the food was delicious! In addition the staff was super friendly and gave some great advice on what to order. Great portion sizes. Today my husband and I returned and dined in. Again, the food was so good and people working there were so nice! We will definitely return as well as spread the word to our friends. Go Viet Citron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“Good food for a reasonable price. Great quantity size. I've been getting pho from the H-Mart dining hall for years, and this has been a long-time favorite. My only complaint is that the last time I got pho, my bean sprouts were moldy :< Fortunately they're provided separately from the soup, so I was able to eat everything else just fine.“

“Loved it, the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, the service was amazing! It was our first time ever having pho and we got some lovely recommendations, the shrimp crackers were out of this world along with the crispy chicken and side of ribs.10/10 would go again ❤️“

“Fresh, flavorful and excellent portion sizes. Staff is very helpful and friendly. So good!!! Ready fast, too.“

“Vietnamese café with solid coffee and matcha.

Stopped by a few weekends ago, a little past noon, and the place was already packed. Most of the food items (including the egg rolls) were sold out by then, so we ended up ordering the grilled pork bánh mì, a salted matcha latte, and an egg coffee.

The salted matcha latte was great. This was only my second time trying salted foam on a latte, but the sweet-and-salty combination worked as expected. The foam added a pleasant savory note that balanced the matcha nicely without overwhelming it.

The egg coffee, unfortunately, was bad. We had to wait an extra 20 minutes for a fresh batch of egg foam, but even then, it didn’t integrate well with the espresso and tasted bitter. My Vietnamese friend mentioned that egg coffee is typically much sweeter (closer to a dessert coffee), so this wasn’t quite what I imagined.

The grilled pork bánh mì was good. Can’t say I eat enough banh mi to call this top-tier or not, but the baguette had the right crunch. Just wish there was more sauce.“

“The place is small but so ain't I you go in there and eat they feed you and feed you and you will take a doggie bag home the food is fresh it could be just like in Sicily hospitality of the owner and the waitress and the cook it's just so personable and the price is right I'm going back tomorrow and I was there today....“

“Very good and authentic! I’m visiting but will come back here every time in town.“

“I ordered the grilled beef Sandwich, egg rolls and spring rolls. Everything I ate was delicious and fresh tasting.“

“One of the best restaurants in the area! Gotta get the coconut pudding desserts — that’s a hidden gem on the menu and one of my favorite desserts ever. The service is kind, quick, and attentive, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is cozy with ample seating.“

“Amazing food and drinks! A small and friendly spot in the heart of Watertown! I highly recommend all the drinks and have not been disappointed trying the multiple slush drinks. Be sure to add your favorite toppings. My new favorite place in Watertown for a good sandwich and drink to pick up and go to the local park to eat! Do not miss out on this local spot!“

“As far as banh mi go, this one is a solid four stars. I went with the BBQ pork and asked for no aioli. The bread was perfectly crusty, the pickled vegetables tasted great and were cut well, as were the fresh jalapeños. I liked the flavor and smokiness on the BBQ pork, but I wish the temperature on it had been anything above room temperature. There were also a couple of overly fatty pieces that should have been trimmed.

The service and atmosphere leave a bit to be desired. The restaurant, at least when I visited, was quite messy. I understand that the sandwiches generate a lot of crumbs, but I think it would help a lot to more regularly wipe down the tables and chairs. I had to wipe off my table and chair when I entered, as did another party I saw come in after me.

I'm also not a huge fan of the QR code ordering system. For such a small place, it feels quite impersonal. Lastly, the cans of soda come out warm. They do provide a cup with a small amount ice, but the cup really ought to be full of ice in order to properly cool down the warm can. In my case, all of the ice was melted as soon as I poured in half a can. Warm soda is just not pleasant.

I think I would order take out next time to avoid the issues they have with dining in. I did very much enjoy the banh mi, but the service issues were a bit perplexing.“

“Great food, still crave it often, but big caveat:

Frustrating time re delivery here, did not send my food, or possibly delivered it to someone else (?) did eventually get a refund (previously would have given them 5 stars, had a better experience in the past, but so hungry and disappointed)“

“Best food I’ve had from start to finish! We ordered several dishes to share (based on our waiter’s recommendations) and they all had unique flavors spiced to perfection. They were the kind of bespoke dishes that you know you could never replicate. Our fave was the Fluke. Even the mocktails were amazing! I can’t wait to go back!!“

“The food was amazing and the service was great. The only issue was the table next to us; the guy was chewing his mouth open, and it sounded like a horse. This was actually the second time we've experienced this. I highly recommend the owner invest in a sound system so we don't have to hear people chewing or sucking their Pho. Best option take to go Js...“

“This review is long overdue, but this is a great Thai small business to support. The place is cozy [with seasonal outdoor seating] and the staff is always warm. The Drunken noodles are my go-to and it is a generous portion of noodles AND protein...for the most part. I strongly discourage paying extra for extra protein as I paid $3 for EXTRA protein and received 3 small shrimp. This seems to be a trend as I have ordered DN at two other places and the extra fee was not reflected in the portion delivered. But Mae does deliver consistently outside of this.“

“First time visiting and we ordered the Bun Ga Nuong combo. It came with two pieces of shrimp and a very generous portion of grilled meat—so much that I was able to enjoy it over two meals.

This was a takeaway order, and unfortunately I only realized after sitting down to eat that the bag was missing the spring rolls that are supposed to come with the combo. On top of that, one of us has a severe peanut allergy, and the dish had peanuts scattered throughout, making it unsafe to eat.

I called the restaurant right away. The owner immediately apologized, acknowledged they had forgotten the spring rolls, and offered to remake the dish without peanuts. She also told me to keep the original order, which I appreciated.

When I returned, they apologized again and gave me a freshly prepared replacement along with three spring rolls. While it was inconvenient to make the extra trip, I was grateful for how they handled the situation.

In hindsight, I would usually check about nuts, but I didn’t recall seeing it mentioned on the menu. Typically, peanuts are served on the side to prevent them from getting soggy, so this caught me off guard.

Overall, great portion sizes and solid customer service recovery.

Also ordered a banh-mi for one for the road - big and yummy!“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“Omg best crab fried rice I’ve had in a long time. Don’t forget to get the thai tea. Best thai food spot in Lexington. If you are reading this, you’ve found the spot for take out. Staff are very kind and hard working. I will be coming back often 🙏“

“Looooooove this place & The Water they serve!!� It’s the truth! They add Lime to it and it’s amazing, when I pick up orders to go I request a water to go and they know exactly who I am! Lol � The food is always delicious!!“

“Food is delicious! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. We always leave with full bellies and leftovers to enjoy again 😋“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“Pho 1 has changed a lot and I’ve been going there for years. Last night I ordered the beef soup for take out and when I got home and opened it the meat was like shredded and not the same consistency that had been in the past. These are hard times for all of us and giving customers scraps is no acceptable. I will go again later in the year and see if they have improved.“

“I recently visited this restaurant and ordered the barbecue pork sandwich along with the chicken red curry served with fried rice, and I have to say, both dishes were absolutely delicious. The barbecue pork sandwich was packed with flavor and loaded with fresh ingredients that complemented each other perfectly. Every bite was satisfying, and it quickly became one of my favorite sandwiches I’ve had in a while.

The chicken red curry was equally impressive. It had a rich, aromatic sauce with just the right balance of creaminess and spice, and the fried rice paired beautifully with it. You can tell the dishes are prepared with care and stay true to the traditional flavors of Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.

The only downside to my visit was the wait time. It took longer than I expected for the food to arrive, and I suspect the red curry may have required extra preparation time. While it was a bit frustrating to wait, the quality and freshness of the food made up for it in the end.

Overall, this is a charming spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Thai and Vietnamese dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. The flavors are genuine, the portions are satisfying, and despite the wait, I’d definitely come back to explore more of the menu. Good food is often worth a little patience, and this place proves exactly that.“

“My family and I came out on a weekday in July to Le’s for a quick lunch. We were seated right away and the server brought us the menu.

The menu has many Vietnamese options.Even family style dishes. The seating area is very big so great for large gatherings. There is also a downstairs area for private functions.

We ordered fresh spring rolls, grilled salmon, beef with rice and small pho soup.

1 of the server was very friendly and told us that a celebrity had come in early for lunch. It was nice to hear stories from the server.

The food came out nice and hot.

This place is great because it is located inside a small mall with underground parking garage. We came during a thunderstorm shower.

Perfect for people coming out of town to check out Harvard square or touring near by colleges. Also, great for college students.“

“Always stop in for a coffee and a snack - Banana bread is great. Service has always been lovely and i love the vibe inside and out.

As someone who’s always on their laptops i appreciate the no laptop policy, it’s refreshing!

Always recommend“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

“Had pho and the fresh spring rolled with grilled beef, phenomenal!“

“👍very good menu! Salmon is really good and fresh“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I usually don’t leave reviews but this restaurant’s food was insane. We got the crab fried rice, Cajun catfish with mango salad, and duck fat fries. Everything was delicious, savory, and balanced. So worth it - will come back.“

“My favorite restaurant ever, all the foods are the best 👍🏼😋“

“Just wanted to thank you today. My daughter got a drink and I got the mango one. We also got 6 macaroons. The macaroons where so good, and fresh!! They where not dried out. My favorite was the pistachio and coconut. Thank you very much for explaining the drinks and not making us feel rushed. Thank you again.“

“Everything was Fire 🔥 . Going back again soon.“

“Amazing coffee shop, especially all their combinations of vietnamese coffee. They have it both in hot and cold and so many different kinds, never seen that many anywhere else, not even in New York City. Very authentic and great quality! Maybe a dollar or two more expensive than elswhere, but extremely worth it.
They also have great pastries and spots to work at with a laptop.
Moreover, they also have great vietnamese sandwiches! You should definitely try it.
For the people that don't like coffee. No problem. My boyfriend love matcha. And they have amazing yuzu matcha. TOKYO FOGG (which is a matcha latte with earl grey). He says that's one of the best matcha he's ever had!
Regarding the palce itself, it could be more renovated or modernized and the bathrooms are not always the cleanest (depending how busy they are). If they'd improve that, then all stars woudl be five!!!“

“Nice for a quick lunch, and sometimes i go just for the fries and bubble tea. The togarashi fries are always excellent! Crispy, hot, and can dip in spicy mayo. For veg options I usually get the Noodle Salad with paprika tofu and the spicy peanut sauce. Everyone also likes the crispy katsu chicken. One note of caution: the brown sugar bubble tea is inexplicably bad! The plain milk tea is good though :)“

“It was delicious speedy clean polite staff loved the place definitely going back with the family.“

“Such a beautiful little restaurant!
Our first time in; We dined in on a Wednesday and was instantly greeted and sat to a table with a menu. The atmosphere here is very welcoming and feels like I’m going to a family’s house for a wholesome home cooked meal. (And a great music playlist might I add)
We ordered quite a bit, thai rolls, chicken pho, lomein, pork fried rice! Everything came out quickly while still being hot, rich in flavor and overall better than most if not all similar restaurants in the Boston area.
If you’re in a debate, definitely check this place out! Will be back again and thank you to the staff and chef!🍜“

“The paprika tofu with the miso lime sauce was fire & perfectly marinated. Love seeing tofu live out its true potential Great vegan options & protein!!! The sauces were clearly labeled vegan at the online ordering screen but not on the in-person board. Only suggestion is making the allergens more clear. Will def return #yuminmatum Thanks Bon Me 💚💚“

“We had such a great meal here! We started with the soup with pineapple, tofu, and shrimp rice wraps, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the steak banh mi and the beef pho, and both were perfect.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a truly great Vietnamese meal. I usually get banh mi in Malden, but they never feel like a full sandwich, and my favorite pho place that I loved for years closed. I’m so happy to have found a new spot that I can look forward to going back to. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!“

“I visited today for the first time and picked up a combo banh mi and a taro smoothie with boba. The banh mi was very good - the baguette was fresh and crispy and it had the right mix of vegetables to meat. The smoothie was good as well. I will agree with other reviewers that I'm a little surprised that a banh mi is $10 and is not gigantic. Maybe I'm spoiled or maybe it's just inflation but I was getting a lot more for my money with a banh mi at other places a few years ago.

I might go back but if I'm in the area again, I would probably check out some of the competition.

Parking: A few spots out front and some on the side street.“
