45 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Saugus

“Delicious food and friendly staff“

“Second visit to Nightshade, 14 courses did not disappoint!“

“Stopped by Pho and Rice in Somerville and ended up switching my order from takeout to dine-in at the last minute. The staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating, and the food was excellent. The pho came with all the trappings and was deeply satisfying, comforting, and genuinely delicious.“

“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.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“Phinista is my goat it has yet to (severely) disappoint!! Great study spot if you're willing to wait for a table (usually doesn't take me longer than 10-15 mins). Of their matchas, my favorite is their pandan, but their ube and strawberry are good too. I like their pastries, though their cookies are a bit dry. Highly recommend their bowls if you want actual food; they give big portions and everything is seasoned well.“

“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.“

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

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

“Had the best casual birthday brunch back in February with 15 local friends at Saigon Tiger! The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating to our group. The lunch fare is reasonably priced and came quickly. Of course, it was super yummy. The menu also offers some great gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options. Would highly recommend as an option for lunch or group meet ups in Davis Square!“

“Good food.“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“Came here with my dad and brother, all three of us love the food we ordered and the staff are super friendly too. Definitely will visit again!“

“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.“

“The best vietnamese iced coffee. Spring rolls to die for. Always fresh and delicious.“

“Delicious food and good service here .“

“Delicious!!! Tried the beef banh mi and it was so so good. They STUFF it with delicious pickled vegetables and the beef is super tender and flavorful. The bread is perfect. It's a big sandwich and they do not skimp on anything. It was so fresh and perfect. I miss living in Allston but I'm definitely coming back to eat here weekly.“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

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

“Best option for the summer, serve food fast but it’s apparently freshly made. Prices are reasonable, portions are big, I ordered one main and one side dish, it’s a bit too much for me with the main already, better share the side dishes with one other person. No unnecessary asking for excessive tips but always show up and provide the right service on time. And the taste is not compromised, it's just how Vietnamese food tastes. Will definitely visit again if I’m around.“

“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.“

“The pho is absolutely delicious. The staff is so kind.“

“This might just be one of the best bars in Boston - and we’re incredibly lucky to have it in Central Square. I visited with a friend and ordered the Duck and the Fluke, both of which were outstanding and paired perfectly with the Good Dealer and Honey Mousse Espresso cocktails. Our waiter, Langston, was an absolute superstar - attentive, warm, and on top of everything. My only regret is that the management was running such a smooth floor that I didn’t get a chance to personally let them know how great he was before we left. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a great night out, whether with a friend or on a date.“

“My family had a wonderful dinner at Mae’s last night. The service was efficient, attentive without being obtrusive and warm. The food was excellent, flavorful, balanced, light. We had number of dishes…pork gyoza (we went back for 2nds on this one), spring rolls, basil fried rice (nice spice level…maybe a little more oil than needed), ma po tofu, general Tso’s Thai chicken, and pad Thai (the star of the show). The mocktails were fresh and complex. Will be back. Oh we made a reservation. Highly recommend doing so.“

“Phin has quickly become one of my favorite coffee places in Boston.“

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

“A block away from Central Sq, Cicada is one of our favorite for a cosy dinner.

We went there for the second time on a Friday night and had the chicken sticky rice, the salmon avocado tartare as well as the seared salmon rice together with a glass of sparkling wine. The food is inventive and flavorful with appropriate prices for the quality, although not cheap.

The perfect place for a date night in Cambridge!“

“Banh Mi Huong Que is an authentic Vietnamese restaurant located at 696 Washington Street in Boston. Their main specialty is bánh mì, though they also serve pho and other traditional dishes. I ordered the chicken bánh mì, and it was excellent, the bread was perfectly crispy, and the chicken and vegetables were flavorful. It reminded me of the bánh mì I used to eat in Hanoi. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend it !!!“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

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

“I am no expert on Vietnamese food but have toured Vietnam (4 cities) on 2 occasions. Had dinner (takeout) last night at Saigon Hut. It continues to offer fantastic and delicious food 5 out of 5.“

“I just ordered delivery here for the first time and my lord

The broth itself is incredible. Just beautiful flavor. They pack everything separately to go, so nothing gets soggy and you get to pick and choose what you want to put into your pho.

Some of the toppings were literally a fresh packed bag of produce that probably came from the grocery store that morning.

The beef was flavorful, noodles cooked perfectly. One of the best pho I’ve ever had.

It was a bit pricey through door dash so will probably make a point to go to the actual location next, but this is a well worth it treat for delivery.“

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

“Really cute new place! I forgot to ask her name but our waitress was so sweet. She asked if we were first timers and got super happy when we told her yes— seems like a place that cares about a it customers & food quality. Ordered a bahn mi & chicken vermicelli as well as pork fried dumplings. All were excellent and big portions for the price. Very fresh & even had leftovers. Atmosphere very cute too, good music.“

“Amazing little restaurant & bar. Great service and food. Went in on a whim as I just happened to be in the area. It was not too busy when I arrived and was able to get quick service. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a cute place to check out.“

“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“

“Saw this cafe near Cambridge and decided to try it with some friends 😛✨

. What drew me in initially was the ube tiramisu, which is something I’ve never tried before. It was quite good and the ube flavor prevalent, but the only thing is the cake felt too cakey and not as soaked/moist as a tiramisu typically should be. However, the banh mi was SO good and the meat perfectly flavored. The bread was perfectly toasted and you could hear the slight crispness from biting into it. The Nutella walnut cookie was slightly too hard, which could’ve just been because it was overbaked or stale. However, the matcha was solid!

Service: It was quite packed in the cafe but the workers were so efficient, quick, and nice.

Atmosphere: It was quite hectic and crowded when I went on Saturday around noon. It gives very bustling busy cafe vibes and is the perfect place to chat with friends and study. Lots of windows and sunlight, cramped but abundant seating.

Overall, highly recommend this spot for a casual meetup and/or to get some quick studying done! Food was overall good!“

“This place is a true hole in the wall AS IT SHOULD BE. We dream about returning to Hanoi daily, and when the nostalgia is hitting particularly hard, this is the only real spot you could possibly get a true Banh Mi, vibes and all, to take you back.“

“Great atmosphere and incredibly nice staff! I love their scallion pork wrap, I incredibly recommend it. They give so much food at a just price & they also offer great discounts if you're a Hult student. I love this place, I totally recommend it for anyone in the area!“

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

“Got lunch here for the first time while working on the field in the Harvard IT department. I work around the West Campus a lot so I'm looking for more lunch spots. The kiosk is easy to use and navigate, the wait time was short. The pho was great and made for a nice warm bowl of broth and noodles in this cold weather. The noodles are well cooked. The broth was hot and had good seasoning. Lots of toppings and meat. My note of no lime and ginger was fulfilled.

However, my only complaint is that I also ordered a Brown Sugar boba milk tea and had to immediately spit it out as the taste of spoiled milk hit. I had my colleague at the office try it and he too also noticed it didn't taste like Brown Sugar boba milk tea and compared it to spoiled milk. I'm not going to give a 1 star because the review doesn't deserve that, but just a -1 for my drink. Might try again another day...but thanks for reading my review!“
