50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Somerville

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I had bún bò huế at gạo today. The service was amazing and so was the food. The place is really clean too. Reminds me a lot of home!“

“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“

“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“

“Dined here tonight and Long Noodle House is a hidden gem. My friend and I were looking for a tasty pho place close by, and man was this a good choice!

We started with the tamarind wings, and they were crunchy, juicy and flavorful; they we subtlety sweet, perfectly sauced/seasoned. The beef pho was super flavorful, more on the cinnamon-side. Lastly, the Hai Noi Bun was the best thing of the night. The fish sauce was sooo good, and meat cooked perfectly. I'll be back! Thanks so much for the delicious dinner.“

“Love the place and food. Became our new casual lunch spot. Just a few tables but we always manage to get one. Love the simplicity in the noodles soup. Nothing fancy like pho or bun bo hue, maybe as a special. Got delish beef stew, pork chop rice, fried egg taro. And of course banh mi.“

“Amazing delicious meal. Quiet March Sunday but the staff was on point and attentive. We ordered the special beef Pho and stir fry noodles. Excellent meal. Our egg rolls to start were delicious and piping hot . 10 out of 10.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

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

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The pho is delicious and smoothies are amazing!“

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

“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.“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love the menu variety, and the extensive sides allow you to order exactly what you want. I especially love the ability to order extra broth and steamed veggies. Whenever I'm under the weather that always nurses me back to health quickly ??

Vegetarian options: Naturally vegetable and noodle or vegetarian rice and tofu dishes are available. Ask about fish sauce and if your meal can be made without it.

Parking: It's in Malden Center so there's plenty of parking but you might have to pay if you want it very close/convenient.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Seafood“

“Ordered a durian smoothie to-go for $5.50 pre-tax. It was empty when I went, so the smoothie was ready within five minutes. Definitely tasted like there was more ice than durian so not as creamy as I would have liked, but at least the durian tasted fresh.“

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

“Great food and reasonably priced“

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

“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 🤤“

“Best PHO IVE HAD SO FAR ❤️“

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Boston/Cambridge. The short rib khao soi MIGHT be the best dish in the entire state, it is absolutely perfect. Great beer selection with affordable prices. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are so incredibly sweet. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“the pho is good and mochi donuts are decent (they're appear to be a mix of standard flour and glutinous rice flour deep fried), but the portion sizes relative to the price leaves a lot to be desired

the amount of pho you get is roughly the same size as a giant instant noodle soup cup and the mochi donut is the size of a standard donut but about triple the price...“

“Great beef & noodle Pho Salad 😋“
