50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Dorchester

“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!“

“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!“

““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.“

“This resturant is very commendable.

Food was satasifying especially considering the fair pricing of the items.

Staff (cashier) was funny and friendly making the experience that much better.

If you're close by and looking for a spot with amazing options I highly recommend stopping by.“

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

“Best banh mi in this area, and the competition is significant! I've tried every place in the neighborhood and this is by far my favorite. Yes, the sandwiches are cold -- this is how they should be, and they're an absolute dream on a hot day. Also, super affordable. Just remember to bring cash, no cards!“

“I love the people that work here they are so nice I love there drink I got a strawberry banana smoothie with boba it was amazing I have never had this good of a drink before my mom had got the Vietnamese ice coffee with mocha it was amazing I’m definitely coming back“

“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!“

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

“Popular place that needs reservation in advance (likely because the shop is somewhat small). The staff was extremely friendly and kind, offering a sake drink as a start on the house. The golden dragon (?) flower sake was amazing.

However, the shop interior felt a bit decrepit - my stool was rocking back and forth. The egg noodles were well cooked but overall alright. $35 per person with appetizers.“

“Good banh mis, would highly recommend taking it to go for a picnic. The beef, pork, and tofu were all flavorful and the ratio of ingredients was right.

The jalapeños were for some reason super spicy. Nice staff and cool vibe inside“

“I went here about 6 months ago and forgot what I ordered. It was pho and I just remember it being red and spicy. I’ve been craving it for weeks and I finally had time to go in last night.

The host patiently explained to me (several times, because I just wasn’t getting it lol) that any pho can be made spicy! Anyways, he was very patient and helped me. I settled on the spicy beef pho. I’ve never had it to go (last time we dined in), so I was wondering how it would be packaged. It was well packaged. They gave me SO MANY BEAN SPROUTS (which I LOVE) and extra chili oil. I can easily get 3 meals out of this, and it was only $19.21. Thank you so much! I also ordered the chicken wings and thought they weren’t my favorite, they were extremely flavorful.“

“Absolutely delicious Soups here I had Bo Kho Banh Mi Tender beef with a great broth and bahn mi The Chao was very good. Gạo Vietnamese Kitchen has 4.9 stars in a town with a huge Viet population. Street parking is a huge plus. 5 Thumbs Up“

“Absolutely delicious food“

“First time trying Vietnamese food and they were very friendly and patient with us. My kids were not excited to try things at first but after just a taste, they wanted to order their own food. Small cafe, limited seating but they were accommodating.“

“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!“

“Expect delicious food, chill vibes, and super friendly (fast) service! I will be back! I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken, and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were absolutely delicious, the iced coffee was very good, strong coffee with the sweetness of the condensed milk. I recommend if you’re looking for a delicious, and quick meal!“

“It’s not always easy to get to Quincy from Boston. Southbound traffic can be a nightmare but if you’re able to make the journey, or you have the fortune of already Quincy, Le Madeline is a special restaurant worth your visit.

One of the first things that you notice about Le Madeline is the location, nestled proudly in a corner of downtown Quincy.

The food is truly exceptional. Not only do they have more traditional Vietnamese favorites (pho, vermicelli noodles and rice) to please the purists, but Chef Peter’s original creation elevates this restaurant to an unbelievable level.

Dishes like the Viet Cajun Noodles, Giant Prawns, and the freshly shucked oysters (Hàu Nướng Mỡ Hành) take you for a ride along not just the origins of where Vietnamese food has come from, but possibly where it’s going in the future.

Seafood is definitely a major priority on the menu here. The Sa Tế Onion Dip with a big fat dollop of caviar and shrimp chips was the perfect crunchy shareable finger food appetizer. And the Vietnamese inspired take on the New England lobster roll with tamarind (Tôm Hùm Rang Me) was out of this world.

A big shout out to every single staff member. The service was genuinely kind and warm offering to explain all of the dishes and made us feel so welcomed.

An inspired, well executed restaurant like this doesn’t come around very often and should not be taken for granted. Go now before they get even busier!

Parking: There a paid parking lot across the street“

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

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

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

“Good food and friendly staff..!“

“The food is always so satisfying here! Lots of vegetables. Vegetarian dishes, soups.! I had lemongrass salmon today.. my mom had the kimchi rice. Friendly service. Don’t forget about the Thai tea? I have never had a bad dish year. I have been coming for years.“

“If you are ordering for pick up DO NOT use their online ordering system through Door Dash. There’s a $3 surcharge for just picking it up! I also wish the restaurant made people aware of it on Google.

My order was missing fish sauce so I called the restaurant and Molly the person I reached was really helpful in getting the situation resolved.“

“I drive 40 mins just to come to this place! Their food is always so good and they have such a huge drink selection! The drinks are so refreshing and better than other boba spots I’ve been to except this is a restaurant.“

“My favorite place. We come down from Marblehead both to eat in and do take out. Food is delicious and they do a wonderful job of packing up food for take out. Everything is so fresh and tasty we are never disappointed.“

“Our experience at An Nam in Assembly was overall enjoyable. The food was good, though it was lacking some depth of flavor. However, the service and atmosphere really heightened our dining experience, making it feel special. The pricing is on the higher side, but it’s not unreasonable considering the location. If you’re in the area and looking for a nice spot to dine, it’s worth checking out.“

“Delicious Pho with Chicken and I asked to have yellow noodles. The shrimp rolls were so good. This was the first place that didn't have the shrimp tail on the shrimp in the roll, which made it so much easier to eat. The restaurant was clean and the staff was kind.“

“We always do take-out, so I can't really comment on service or atmosphere in the restaurant, but they are always quick to get our take-out food ready (15-20 minutes). The food is delicious. We get a variety of soups, noodle dishes, and appetizers. We've never been disappointed. Consistently great food.“

“The pho is delicious and smoothies are amazing!“

“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!“

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

“This small shop has really good banh mi! I'm a vegetarian, and have repeatedly gotten the tofu banh mi, but I've taken people here and they have enjoyed the pork and chicken banh mi as well. The staff are always super nice. I would 100% recommend this place for the food and pleasant customer service.

Vegetarian options: The tofu banh mi is really good.“

“My family loves Banh Mi Cafe! We have tried all different menu items here and everything is consistently delicious. Highly recommend the Vermicelli Bowl, Fresh Spring Roll, Banh Mi, Kumquat Ai Yu Lemon Basil Seed drink, Peach Tea, Ube Flaming Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée drink, Macarons, and Vietnamese Fermented Yogurt!! Nancy’s always so warm and welcoming. We feel very lucky to have such a gem in Watertown.“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“My gf and I traveled a good 45 minutes to get here and it was totally worth it! I had ordered the Pad Thai and it was super delicious. I also had the Thai iced tea and although pretty sweet it was very refreshing and worth getting. I'll definitely be coming back with her soon!“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“Small but mighty Vietnamese cafe. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered the bbq pork banh mi. It was very yummy and authentic. You can tell the bread and all of the ingredients are fresh.“

“This is a great take out spot, and the prices CANNOT be beaten ! Consistent, delicious, and cheap-what more could you want from a Viet place? Maybe better parking, but not a far walk/stroll from the municipal lot. Did I mention fast? They ONLY do take out, so find a nice picnic spot or bring it home. Bahn Mi holds up for a long drive“

“The Dac Biet soup was so tasty! The beef was a little chewy but everything else was perfectly cooked. I ordered a virgin pina colatta which I loved!! I also tried a Cosmo, it was pretty flavorful but a little too strong. I will definitely come again soon, I loved the look and comfortability of the restaurant.“

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

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

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Siagon Babylon and it has easily become one of our favorite Boston restaurants. The plates are small and I recommend getting a couple to share (tapas style). We loved that each dish had classic southeast asian flavors, but was so unique. You will not find dishes like this anywhere else in Boston. Excited to come back for more!“

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

“Took my daughter for her birthday she wanted to try pho she enjoyed her spicy beef pho. I had large bowl of beef myself was good place was very chill good atmosphere workers came to table couple times kept cup filled asked questions I would go again. Boba drinks was really good mango with boba“

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

“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“
