16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Shrewsbury

“The menu offers a wide selection of high-quality dishes, and the smoothies are exceptional. The service is outstanding, and the food consistently meets the highest standards. I highly recommend this restaurant; you will surely be pleased.“

“My partner, friends, and I frequent here ALL the time. It is a wonderful place with incredible food (you HAVE to try the Build-Your-Own-Pho). Literally some of the best pho I have ever had! Filling, flavorful, and authentic. The energy is always positive, the service is kind and fast, and the amount of food you get in one bowl (whether it is take out or eat in) is SUBSTANTIAL!! The last time we were there we waited a little longer than usual for food, but it was understandable considering how busy it was, and as an apology for the wait they gave us free crab rangoon - completely unnecessary, but greatly appreciated nonetheless.

Thank you so much for the incredible food!! This restaurant has my heart.“

“Excellent dinner and drinks, and wonderful service! Can’t wait to come back. Lemongrass tofu was outstanding!“

“Delicious Vietnamese food! We arrived during a very busy time so it was a little bit of a wait for the food but that’s a good sign that a small business is so busy. Lots of street parking and a parking lot across the street dedicated to the restaurant. Recommended the fresh shrimp rolls and the pork chop rice platter. Worth the wait for sure.“

“BEST VIETNAM RESTAURANT AND HAS BEEN FOR 30 years. I love the food , the people are so kind, it is the best!!!“

“My boyfriend Steve and I were surprisingly impressed on our first visit. The Banh mi tasted great! How it should taste like back in the day…lol The crispy flaky bread and soft inside was on point. Everything else we ordered was amazing. Atmosphere, welcoming and the staff so accommodating and friendly! Arty was our bar tender and he was so much fun to talk with! Over all a great experience will definitely be returning.“

“Very friendly staff, great Pho with plenty of options. Restaurants is clean and reasonably priced. Just a small, family vibe establishment. Plenty of city street parking in the area, will cost roughly $3-$5. If you have a chance, check this place out.“

“I have to admit the place has the most flavorful Phõ broth, I have ever tried. There are plenty of places in MA that serve Phõ, but this place is next level. Big portions, friendly prices and the staff is super nice. We visit the place as often as we can when in the area. Well done, 10/10.“

“I’ve had quite a few things from here that have kept me coming back for more. Their seafood fried rice with Chinese sausage is probably the BEST fried rice I have had by far in my lifetime. Anytime I have a big event going on I have to cater a tray of it. Their Vietnamese coffee is also super delicious! Definitely worth a try!“

“Pho is so yummy and flavorful and the shrimp spring rolls were so fresh tasting and light“

“My go-to Vietnamese restaurant in a city with many choices. The food always tastes fresh and well-prepared. The service is usually swift and friendly, but not overly-familiar. We love to order the salted squid entree as an appetizer for three of us to share. We have worked our way around the menu for our individual entrees and like to switch things up among bun, pho, and rice meals.“

“Stopped on my way through to New York and had a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Set me right all the way home. Since March I have dreamt, and spoken of this soup often. I had not had some of the things in the recipe before, like banana flower, and it was a joyous and unforgettable learning experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I like that they kept the old Irish pub decor from the previous incarnation, it is a pleasure to eat here.“

“The food is wonderful. The atmosphere of love, kindness, and caring for everyone is so welcoming especially in our country today.“

“Best Thai food outside of Bangkok...and now that i think about it, i like Similan better than any of the 15 restaurants i've eaten at in Bangkok.“

“Man, Pho Thai absolutely blew me away. From the second I walked in, I could smell that deep, spiced broth doing its thing, clove, star anise, all the good stuff that separates real pho from the weak imitators. I ordered the steak pho, and right away it was clear this place takes the craft seriously. The broth wasn’t just hot water with flavoring; it was alive, layered, rich, and clearly the result of someone who’s been perfecting this recipe for years. The steak was thin and tender, and it cooked perfectly right there in the bowl.

Here’s where things got wild: the fresh chili pepper on the table. I added about a half teaspoon, and it changed the whole dish. It opened up the flavor like flipping a switch, sweet, spicy, aromatic, every bite after that hit differently. It was one of those meals where you slow down just to make it last longer.

We also had the pineapple fried rice, and it was killer. You could tell the pineapple was fresh, not the canned stuff. Juicy, bright, and cut right before cooking. The rice was perfectly cooked, not greasy, and the chicken had that little snap that says “this was cooked right.”

Pho Thai feels both authentic and fresh, no shortcuts, no gimmicks, just great food made with care. The staff was super friendly, and the place has a relaxed, comfortable vibe.

If you think all pho tastes the same, this place will fix that belief fast. Best pho I’ve had in Massachusetts, no contest. I’ll be back for another bowl as soon as I can.“

“They've gotten so much better than the first time we visited a couple years ago. Love the food, and while the interior isn't the greatest, it's much improved over how it used to be. Now that the bar area is more open, it's much more enjoyable. And the bar staff is nothing short of fantastic. Oh, and they make the drinks from scratch unlike other local places, and aren't afraid to experiment.“
