50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near West Roxbury

“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.“

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

“My friends and I had a wonderful lunch at Pho 89 in Randolph, MA the past few days ago. We all enjoyed and appreciated the great services from Huy Huynh, server. He is not only doing his job very well; but also very pleasant and professional. This is one of the reasons that we always go back to Pho 89.“

“Make sure to bring cash, they offer a 10% cash discount! Great pho and thai food at an extremely reasonable price. Besides the pho, the thai eggplant and any of the curries are always a highlight. Can be a little bit of a wait on weekend evenings“

“The place is great, especially love the pork summer rolls and grilled chicken noodle bowl it comes with beautiful fresh mint, delicious! Another favorite is the Wagyu and Tai Pho and Roasted Marrow where they have rich pho broth prepared over 24 hours poured over a big section of bone marrow.“

“My wife and I absolutely love coming to Pho Le. The food and service here are consistently excellent. Every time we visit, we order the grilled fish with rice wrappers and fresh mint vegetables — it’s become our go-to dish, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, Pho Le delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!“

“Gao Vietnamese Kitchen has won my heart over or should I say my stomach..haha If you love Vietnamese food then Gao is a must-visit gem with its authentic and unique cuisine that truly impresses on every level. Each dish we savored at this cute and cozy Dorchester restaurant was a culinary treat and delight, hitting all the right spots, from the lip-smacking banh coun to the addictive chicken and banana blossom salad, every bite was a journey of flavors. The free ice tea added a touch of authenticity to the dining experience as if I were back in Vietnam. The vegetarian pho and fresh spring rolls were exceptional, showcasing the diverse offerings on their extensive menu that’s priced right for the large portions. Moreover, the warm and diligent staff elevated our dining experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The owner Sy Le was the nicest guy, he really cares about his customers and his employees and it shows! Gao Vietnamese Kitchen is a standout among Vietnamese restaurants, capturing both heart and stomach with its delicious food and exceptional service.“

“There are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in the Fields Corner section of Boston, affectionately known as Little Saigon. I've had good meals and not so good meals at many of them, but Pho Que has never disappointed. The food is fresh, the service is quick and friendly, and it's never overcrowded. I've take many, many friends there an everyone has enjoyed their meals. I'm vegetarian but they have a great vegetable pho among many other vegetarian options. But friends who are carnivores have always had great things to say about their food. The prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I have been going here on occasion for years and realized I never left a review. Bread, pate, and everything is always fresh. The food and service quality have remained consistent over the year. Whenever I want banh mi and I am in the North Quincy / Wollaston area, this has always been my go to spot. It's also an easy, transit accessible spot, just a few minutes walk from North Quincy Red Line station and the nearby bus stop for the 210 Bus.“

“A very positive experience! I can tell a lot of care is put into the food and the employees are extremely kind and knowledgable. Prices:portions also feel fair.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

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

“I went back — and although my first time around ordering an ube matcha was very mediocre, i loved ther banana saigonese latte, banana matcha, and bbq chicken banh mi.

the latte was decadent, creamy, and had the right amount of banana flavor. the banana matcha had that deep matcha taste while complementing well with the banana cream. the banh mi came in a large portion, and was flavorful with clean flavors.

i will say, two years ago i got the ube matcha latte, and although it looked pretty, it was relatively bland and I didn’t get much of a matcha or ube flavor. the drink then also wasn’t smooth, with lots of little chunky bits inside. perhaps they fired that barista, or got a better hold of quality control.

also a very cute study / work space with wifi and outlets!“

“I've been coming here for years and absolutely love your Pad Kee Mao and Tom Yum Soup. Between your mango fried rice, spicy chicken wings, crab rangoon and the refreshing Jasmine limeade, it's always the perfect meal. Plus, my daughter can't get enough of the mango smoothie. Also, Thank you Pat & Burt for your service.“

“Amazing food and drinks! A small and friendly spot in the heart of Watertown! I highly recommend all the drinks and have not been disappointed trying the multiple slush drinks. Be sure to add your favorite toppings. My new favorite place in Watertown for a good sandwich and drink to pick up and go to the local park to eat! Do not miss out on this local spot!“

“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.“

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

“As far as banh mi go, this one is a solid four stars. I went with the BBQ pork and asked for no aioli. The bread was perfectly crusty, the pickled vegetables tasted great and were cut well, as were the fresh jalapeños. I liked the flavor and smokiness on the BBQ pork, but I wish the temperature on it had been anything above room temperature. There were also a couple of overly fatty pieces that should have been trimmed.

The service and atmosphere leave a bit to be desired. The restaurant, at least when I visited, was quite messy. I understand that the sandwiches generate a lot of crumbs, but I think it would help a lot to more regularly wipe down the tables and chairs. I had to wipe off my table and chair when I entered, as did another party I saw come in after me.

I'm also not a huge fan of the QR code ordering system. For such a small place, it feels quite impersonal. Lastly, the cans of soda come out warm. They do provide a cup with a small amount ice, but the cup really ought to be full of ice in order to properly cool down the warm can. In my case, all of the ice was melted as soon as I poured in half a can. Warm soda is just not pleasant.

I think I would order take out next time to avoid the issues they have with dining in. I did very much enjoy the banh mi, but the service issues were a bit perplexing.“

“I ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“Great food, still crave it often, but big caveat:

Frustrating time re delivery here, did not send my food, or possibly delivered it to someone else (?) did eventually get a refund (previously would have given them 5 stars, had a better experience in the past, but so hungry and disappointed)“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best food I’ve had from start to finish! We ordered several dishes to share (based on our waiter’s recommendations) and they all had unique flavors spiced to perfection. They were the kind of bespoke dishes that you know you could never replicate. Our fave was the Fluke. Even the mocktails were amazing! I can’t wait to go back!!“

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

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

“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.“

“Excellent food. Service was amazing.“

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

“Love this place beyond words!!“

“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!“

“King Do has recently moved to a new location, and the space is now much larger, cleaner, and more airy. The menu still offers a wide variety of options, and the food remains just as delicious and affordable as before. The highlights for me are definitely the pennywort drink and the mung bean milk—both are refreshing and a must-try.“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“Fantastic lil hole in the wall.
Located in the heart of canton center, Phó 29 is a small restaurant run by a husband and his wife, and named for his son's birthday. The portions are incredibly generous, and the food is delicious.“

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

“I was a regular at their Allston location but the price increase has led me back to their Newton location. There isn't any seating but the food has always been good when I ordered. Providing such a bad rating because of no seating is hilarious when there is public seating a block away.“

“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.“

“Pho Station feels like a warm, welcoming family restaurant. Their pho comes with a plate of fresh, crisp vegetables, and everything tastes alive and healthy. The sandwiches are especially delicious—the bread is perfectly toasted with a soft crunch on the outside, filled with fresh vegetables and your choice of protein.

What I love most is that it’s tasty and satisfying without being greasy or heavy in calories. If you’re trying to eat healthier but still want something filling, I highly recommend their sandwiches. Healthy, light, and absolutely yummy!“

““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.“

“1. I'll come here again. “Moms and Pops” joint.
2. Atmosphere not the most appealing, but my Fried Rice Noodle with chopped up fried tofu was lovely. Not oily or tons of salt. Just Lovely to eat. The portion was reasonable. Their sweet soy something sauce with it was lovely.
3. This desert, which I didn't quite get it should be some Yuka desert. It was lovely too. Should it be warm or cool? Mine was room temperature. I like it too. I like it. Don't expect great service, but some engagement. I'm okay with it.“

“We tried two amazing sandwiches at Banh Mi Huong: the Banh Mi Ga (Five-spice chicken) and the Banh Mi Bo (Lemongrass steak). Both were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The wait was short, and I liked that you can see your name and estimated time on the board. We ordered takeout, but there were tables available for dining in as well. The restaurant is clean, inviting, and comfortable, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend Banh Mi Huong for a satisfying meal.“

“Very authentic and yummy Vietnamese food if you want to grab something quick on the go!
They are incredibly generous (especially with the amount of meat for the Banh Mi) and it’s so delicious and fresh!! It’s a great combination of satisfying your craving for Vietnamese food without having to sit down at a restaurant to get it. The only thing I personally would skip the milk teas but I love the Vietnamese iced coffee and fruit teas :)“

“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.“

“I visited Pho So 1 to try pho for the first time and they did not disappoint! My boyfriend eats here regularly and I look forward to doing the same. We got the Phở Gà Rau Cải (chicken noodle soup with vegetable and shredded chicken) and it was absolutely delicious! It was steaming hot which was perfect for the chilly rainy day. I liked that we got to customize our bowl by adding bean sprouts, chili oil, hot sauce, lime, etc provided to us at the table. The pho was so flavorful and even though I had never had it before, it was instantly comforting. The size large was enough to feel full while dining in and have enough to eat later as leftovers. Their fresh lemonade was the perfect balance between sweet and tart. We also got chicken wings which were perfectly cooked. The flavor was a 10/10 and the skin was crispy. Our server was kind and attentive. I highly recommend visiting!“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“A real standout for affordable, excellent Vietnamese cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with attentive service. Somewhat unexpected considering the location in the old Harvard Garage which typically has fast-casual dining options. I loved their fresh summer rolls which were packed with herbs and served with a thick flavorful peanut sauce, as well as their classic Vietnamese summer salad of marinated shredded cabbage, chicken and shrimp. Small but interesting wine and beer menu.“

“I love everything about this place. The coffee is incredible (the Sea Salt Shaker is unreal), the daily pastries are always delicious, and the empanadas (tomato and motz) are a go-to. I also love the no-laptop vibe, it makes the space feel intentional. The decor is beautiful, and the back porch is such a tranquil, unique spot in Cambridge.“
