50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Newton

“This place is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years and I really enjoy the food. My family and I especially love the special beef noodle soup and the glass noodle soup with shrimp. The employees are so sweet and accommodating. 10/10 recommend to everyone looking for yummy 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!“

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

“This is such a delightful place to come for a drink, a meal, and a date night. The Eaves is a terrific setting for an intimate 2 or 3 person evening. The entrance is a bit tough to find in Bow Market - though after entering, it's to hide the high quality atmosphere that's inside.

We got drinks after being seated and we're impressed by the flavor of drinks indicative of a cosmopolitan feel.

The food was most impressive. The spice level was very high and was balanced with the wonderful flavours provided. The vegetarian salad was a good starter, followed by ceviche and finally, the duck. That duck is still something I am thinking about - tender, juicy, and with just enough spice that makes me want more.

Our service complemented a wonderful evening. The staff were always attentive to our needs, happy to answer questions, and ensure we had a great time. Though it's a bit pricey, The Eaves deserves 5 stars, a bigger place, and another visit from us and others. Thank you for such a great time and hope to come again soon!“

“Food is always really good, and portions are HUGE. The issue I have had twice now is when I order take out, they take forever to reconfirm the order. The first time they reconfirmed the order 20 minutes after I placed it then I had to wait another 15 minutes.

This second time it's now been over 30 minutes since I placed a takeout order and still no confirmation. And I'll probably end up having to call them and wait another 15 minutes.

* So after my meal I had a surprise voice mail from the manager. They were very apologetic, and also refunded me my meal. It really showed how much the care and value customer service and hospitality. *

Will have to try take out another time, but lots of respect to them for actually reaching out about the issue.“

“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“

“Ask for the Tofu Bahn Mi to be made vegan (no aioli), may be other options if you ask. The tofu is fried and super flavorful! I got a black Vietnamese coffee as well that was delicious and bold, they have oat milk for lattes and are open to customization. Small inside but nice table and bar seating, cozy atmosphere. Solid option in the area around Boston’s best art museums!“

“Went in to try their Banh Mi and came back the next day to try their pho! I got the BBQ banh mi and it was delicious! If you don’t like a spicy kick then i suggest not getting the jalapeños. The crispy rolls were a really nice side too. Came back the next day for the brisket pho and it was light, tasty, and the portion was just right. The service and the vibe were perfect too. Down to earth people and great instrumentals in the background. I don’t live around here but if i did i would come here all the time! On top of everything the prices are cheap“

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

“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 food and service equals great value!!“

“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.“

“Visiting for work and ive never had Vietnamese before. This has been my favorite restaurant. One C5 to go and it was outstanding. Came back to dine in and the waiter recommended the spicy beef, outstanding and full of flavor. Excellent service from the staff.“

“Went to several different locations in the area in the same evening looking for a place to celebrate my mom's birthday, leaving other locations due to rude staff and invasive TV/sports. This restaurant was such a lovely reprieve. We were there for several hours and never once felt unwelcome and received courteous friendly service from everyone who interacted with us. The drinks were outstanding and unique, the food was excellent and fresh and delivered with thought to the pacing of the experience, and it was very clear that this is a restaurant that takes pride in itself. 10/10.“

“Delicious food and great value! The free shrimp chips were a delightful surprise, and the Chicken Hot Basil and Pho (no 2) were both yummy. The 10% cash discount made it even better. Highly recommend!

Parking: It is depends on which day you plan to go. Unlike weekdays, Sunday parking is free throughout the street, including in resident-only locations.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“I've been here a couple times and have had the pho, drunken chicken noodle, and seaweed salad. The house-named pho was excellent and packaged to-go thoughtfully. The drunken noodles and seaweed were both good as well. Prices are good for what you get compared to other fast casual take aways in the area. The staff are very responsive and kind and the inside is pleasant.“

“I got the Dac Biet pho, the broth was very good, rich and flavorful, but the beef was very very dry, not many pieces of tripe. For the price, I’d come again for a quick, casual, decent meal, but it’s not the best of the best Vietnamese food.“

“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.“

“Good food and friendly staff..!“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

“Le's Vietnamese Restaurant is a long-standing restaurant that I have fond memories of as a child, and came back on a recent visit to the area. It is located within a mini shopping center, with spacious seating for large groups or small parties.

We were seated nearly instantly, and had our order taken quite quickly. The food had also came out quite quick as well. Staff were friendly and were circulating around and checked in many times.

We got the XL Special Beef Pho, which was a good size for the price. The soup wasn't too hot, with a lot of flavor that isn't too overwhelming. We got white noodles in ours, and there was decent portions for meat in the bowl as well. We also tried the grilled beef summer rolls, which were on the smaller side but still really good. It went well with the peanut sauce and was wrapped nicely and didn't fall apart quick.

Overall, it has been consistently a great experience here, and would highly recommend checking out.“

“The best banh mi in the area 🙏❤️“

“The restaurant is very familiar, not at all luxurious but has personality. The attendant, even though he didn't understand English very well, was super attentive. The food was extremely cheap and tasty, I saw that the cook has been at the restaurant for over 30 years, and it is a family business. There is no reason not to give five stars. Everything very satisfactory, I come back every week.“

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

“Seafood“

“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!“

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

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“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“

“We had such a great experience tonight! First of all I love the evening atmosphere, the light does the job ❤️ Second and most important is THE FOOD! Every single small plate and main were amazing. Mango salad was our favourite. Thank you, we will definitely be back 🤤“

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

“Was visiting MA on a work trip and stumbled upon the best Thai food ever. I genuinely love the atmosphere and food. The food is great and cooked fresh, with good portions. I had the gyoza and pad se ew. My partner had the beef w broccoli and white rice. We both enjoyed every bite! Definitely recommend and their sticky rice mango dessert looks amazing!

Vegetarian options: They have an entire section of their dishes that is redone just for vegetarians!“

“Great beef & noodle Pho Salad 😋“

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

“Not variety of options for vegetarian people, but my non veg friends loved their foods! The fried rice is just average.

Editing after been here tens of times, this is my favorite Thai place around. Their thai tea- oh wow, super. Khao soi and drunken noodles are my favorite. Fried rice is my go-to option for Thai cuisine, and theirs isn't just as good as their other items mentioned above.

They make you wait until the full group has arrived, so prep if you don't want to wait in the cold.“

“Good iced coffee 😝 and the people are very nice“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“What a great hole in the wall spot!! Went here on a whim and I was NOT disappointed. $7.50 is really reasonable especially in Boston for a good banh mi! Tons of customers while I ate, which is a huge good sign. Service was super fast, bread was crisp and the pickled veggies were delicious. I liked that you can customize how much of each ingredient is in your sandwich. I got the pork belly banh mi, there were some chewy bits (fat, maybe?) I picked out- regardless, overall delicious. The shrimp rolls with peanut sauce are also amazing! I do wish more bottled drink options were available, but the sandwich was my main focus for the visit. Will be coming back again for an affordable and delicious meal :)“

“Tried the Khao Soi Chicken Noodle Bowl, and it's delicious. However, I deducted one star because the front staff (a young lady) seemed unhappy about my decision not to tip for a takeout order, which I drove 10 miles to pick up. Additionally, there were too many onions in the bowl; I had to discard them while eating. Furthermore, this is a takeout-only establishment, and they don't mention that anywhere. Otherwise, it’s a decent casual restaurant.“

“Me and my little cousin went to go eat at Mama’s Kitchen! Right when we walk in, we get a “hello!” I was happy they said hello to me because most fast food restaurants don’t even bother saying a hello even when they’re not busy! I got mama special bánh mì! Ít was so flavorful and delicious ? my sweet cousin got a gold coin cake with cheese filling. We got to see how they make the food and the gold coin came freshly made and piping hot! We also shared a sugarcane boba drink! It was so rich and flavorful. It was not watered down at all! Other places I’ve been to had very watery sugarcane. My little cousin couldn’t stop smiling because she loved it so much! + the workers are so kind! They were welcoming, enjoyable to talk to, and always smiled! Food takes a little while since it is going to be freshly made! Definitely my new favorite place and will be a regular at this establishment ?

Kid-friendliness: The workers are so kind and sweet to my little cousin“

“Beautiful dining room. I ordered take out this evening using the Toast App. I mistakenly added a $500 tip instead of a $5 tip because the order went through too fast. I called and explained what happened. The manager called me right back and assured me that he would fix it before closing out. He was so kind, even though they were busy. The food was excellent and the waitress was so kind in packing one dish separately due to a peanut allergy. We will definitely be frequent flyers here.“

“Came for a late lunch with a friend. So many great options, ended up deciding on the Tom Yum Noodle soup. Surprised with the topping choices, but the pork and fish balls were tasty. Broth was good but not enough, noodles not fully submerged even. Could’ve had more of that familiar tang of Tom yum as well. Friend had the pho, had a taste and the broth was so nice and rich. Overall really good and looking to try the pho next time!“

“Came here when I found out they had another spot - I usually frequent their tried and true Chinatown location. Food here is, dare I say, even better. Probably my favorite spot in the local area.

Beautiful, hip and trendy interior. Service and drinks are great as well! Love it here, will definitely visit again when I’m in the area.“

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

“Great beef & noodle Pho Salad 😋“

“This place is amazing! The food is both delicious and beautifully presented. It looks impressive, and I always order here. The place is always packed with people.

One time, they brought me calamari instead of shrimp, but they quickly fixed it. I really appreciate such great service, and they even treated me to a smoothie as a gesture.

I highly recommend this place! Great food, excellent service – 4 out of 5 stars! ❤️“
