43 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Woburn

“Pho 1 has changed a lot and I’ve been going there for years. Last night I ordered the beef soup for take out and when I got home and opened it the meat was like shredded and not the same consistency that had been in the past. These are hard times for all of us and giving customers scraps is no acceptable. I will go again later in the year and see if they have improved.“

“Popular place that needs reservation in advance (likely because the shop is somewhat small). The staff was extremely friendly and kind, offering a sake drink as a start on the house. The golden dragon (?) flower sake was amazing.

However, the shop interior felt a bit decrepit - my stool was rocking back and forth. The egg noodles were well cooked but overall alright. $35 per person with appetizers.“

“Excellent food, lots of menu options for gluten free, spicy, low calorie and all are very flavorful! The tamarind crispy chicken is an excellent choice! Staff is very attentive and kind, and there’s a discount for paying cash! A must-try!“

“Stopped by Phinista and got a Cà Phê Trứng with extra foam on top and they added it for free which I really appreciated. The coffee was rich and creamy, just like how it should be. I also got an Iced Saigonese Coffee and it was super smooth and flavorful. I love the vibe there. Will def come back whenever I’m back in Boston.“

“Fresh, flavorful and excellent portion sizes. Staff is very helpful and friendly. So good!!! Ready fast, too.“

“Second visit. First time I wasn’t sure I would return because maybe it was when they first opened, didn’t figure things out yet and it was a weekend. It was slammed. Messy prep area. Foam everywhere

We just went on a weekday. Opposite experience. Empty. Clean. And the food - wow. Got the stew and was floored. An aunty brought it out within 7 min of ordering. So much depth of flavor. I’ve always wanted a place that offered real food for breakfast. Not pastries. I’ve finally found it. Bread was meh.

Coffee was good. Not my style because it’s more dessert style but amazing if you like that kinda thing. Custard on egg coffee was silky but very sweet. Coconut was tasty but again too sweet for me. Not sure if we can do a less sweet option or if the sugar is necessary for the custard texture. Great food presentation. For here coffee was served in plastic. Would rather glass. Straws weren’t the right shape (too narrow/ bent so couldn’t work with thick drinks). Coffee custard made to order so it’s definitely awesome but not a quick drink to grab on the way to work.

Still things to sort out but hope they stick around.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“Good place for a quick and satisfying lunch. These banh mi’s are served on fresh shatteringly crispy bread and they are filled with the protein of your choice plus jalapeño slices, cilantro, mayo and carrot and daikon pickle. I see some reviews complain about no pate but that is usually only in the cold cut banh mi. Staff are helpful and efficient. We got our food made to order in just a few minutes.“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

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

“Market noodle is one of our favorite restaurants in Arlington Center. The food has always tasted fresh and delicious! Our favorites include, the Saigon salad which is such a satisfying delight! Comes with good portions of poached shrimp and steamed chicken over shredded veggies in a delicious homemade sauce I could dip everything into. Garlic udon noodles and the drunken noodles are also amazing! You won’t be disappointed! They’re always so pleasant and happy to take care of their guests. We hope they never leave Arlington Center !“

“You know it’s going to be great when the staff’s speaking Vietnamese to each other. My wife and I got the banh hoi bowl with crispy pork belly and it was fire! It was home cooking level good. They were also able to accommodate a peanut and tree nut allergy.“

“Order a banh mi sandiwch from Saigon Tiger, a new store on Relish. 1st delivery is late, not a good start from a new relish venue. hopefully the food is better than the prep for the delivery. Got my BBQ pork Bahn Mi dleivered not as late as was suggested by Relish. It was delicious, nice portion, great bread, plenty of jalapenos. Definitely will order again.“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“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.“

“Delicious Pho with Chicken and I asked to have yellow noodles. The shrimp rolls were so good. This was the first place that didn't have the shrimp tail on the shrimp in the roll, which made it so much easier to eat. The restaurant was clean and the staff was kind.“

“Staff were friendly. Food I think was pricer than expected but still overall good flavors. I think that is just the nature of food places in the assembly area to keep up with the ( I'm assuming) high rents. If someone didn't wnat to venture out to dorchester to get vietnamese food, I'd recommend coming here.“

“My husband and I love coming to banh mi cafe, it’s one of our neighborhood go-to’s. It’s especially great to pick up a banh mi for a little picnic across the street, or by the library, which is advised bc they only have three counter seats.

Everyone here at banh mi cafe is efficient and welcoming, so service is quick. You can easily order at the kiosk if you’re feeling antisocial, the the staff are open to answering questions too. I usually go with the standard deli meat sandwich which is phenomenal. I tried their bbq pork and their lemongrass tofu last night. Both were super tasty, but I’m always nostalgic for a traditional banh mi personally. However, the lemongrass tofu was honestly a sleeper hit. It’s really flavorful and has such a nice contrasting texture against their French bread. Highly recommend it here! Their fresh rolls are also fantastic—extremely crisp, I think they add chive in it? It’s great, whatever it is lol. I will say, in the dozens of times I’ve been, they have only sold out of bread once after 6/6:30pm, but when I tell you I was absolutely devastated…so get there early if you can!“

“My gf and I traveled a good 45 minutes to get here and it was totally worth it! I had ordered the Pad Thai and it was super delicious. I also had the Thai iced tea and although pretty sweet it was very refreshing and worth getting. I'll definitely be coming back with her soon!“

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

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“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!“

“genuinely some of the worst service i have ever received at a restaurant - after i ordered, the server only dropped off food, didn’t speak and walked away immediately and did not stop back to refill empty drinks or ask if everything was good. as a server myself, this was disappointing, especially because i could have used a refill on my drink and some more lime for my pho 🙃 despite this, the food was amazing so i will return to give it another shot.“

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

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Saigon Babylon! I think it’s one of the better places I’ve been to in Boston in terms of food, ambiance, and location. The drink options were really fun and tasted delicious. Although the menu was small, there was a good variety. The food had a lot of flavor and felt very unique. Finally, the service was a little slow but everyone was really kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back!“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“The BBQ pork bahn mi was terrific, good crunch on the bread, nice acid from the pickled veggies, the pork had great seasoning and little bits of char. The shrimp spring rolls had a great texture and the veggies were nice and fresh. The peanut sauce with the spring rolls had a very nice roasty, slightly sweet flavor“

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

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

“Exceptional. They brine/marinate and don’t cheap out on labor. Each entree is well studied and executed - from a pro chef with limited ingredients. I hope they’ll maintain good quality for lower prices and gain volume- it’s perfect for work lunch takeout. 2x spices and time earns 10x returning guests. There’s a lot of business to grow.“

“The best banh mi you can find in Boston outside of Dorchester! Highly recommend the lemongrass beef sandwich 😋 easily customizable too on ordering screens (+/- and more or less of mayo, pâté, jalapeños, veggies on the side, etc) the service is always really friendly as well. Not many places where $9 gets you food like this nowadays!“

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

“Cannot emphasize enough how great Mae Asian Eatery is! We recently stopped in for dinner and would definitely return. The food was fantastic -- a Chinese-Thai fusion that was really yummy. The service was also outstanding. It was super fast (especially impressive considering how busy it was), everyone was very kind, and we got to speak with the owner afterward who told us about the food (the secret to how yummy it is? His wife is the chef!) and the history behind the name. Just an all-around great experience and cool local business we were happy to visit.“

“The atmosphere is beautiful and makes me feel like I’m on breezy vacation. I got the duck pho which was okay, I’m that big a fan of pho in general. It was well made. But my friend got the pork bowl which was delicious. The yogurt reduction was like tasting heaven.“

“The food was super! We ordered the pork belly bao, butter beef spring rolls, kimchi fried rice, the beef curry mazemen, and the Shojonator with duck fat fries. Everything was great! The kimchi fried rice was so, so good! The beef curry was perfectly spiced! The spring rolls were clean and crunchy with a great sauce. The pork belly bao had perfectly matched components that worked so well! The duck fat fries were hot (temperature), seasoned well, and crunchy. The shojonator was really good and cooked perfectly. Everything here is great, if you want a good meal! It's worth the price!“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“If you’re hungry and not sure where to go near Coolidge Corner, Soup Shack is the spot. They’ve got everything from steaming ramen and rich pho to hearty rice bowls. If soup’s not your thing, the chicken katsu curry rice bowl is a must-try.

Service is always friendly, portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. Plus, they’ve got a Cambridge location too.“

“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.“

“Looooooove this place & The Water they serve!!� It’s the truth! They add Lime to it and it’s amazing, when I pick up orders to go I request a water to go and they know exactly who I am! Lol � The food is always delicious!!“

“Great beef & noodle Pho Salad 😋“

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

“This was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the option to build your own bowl and the unique drinks. Only comment my husband made was even though there were 2 guys in the kitchen (you can see into it), one of them was on his phone the whole time we were there not doing anything. They probably could've gotten orders done faster if they were both working...“

“Now comes vegan by default (no mayo or fish sauce) Much more meat than I was expecting for $7! I added my own veganaise and butter at home, but I expect that for omni restaurant banh mis. Bread was nice and crispy. Service was super fast (I was in and out in < 5 min) Updated from previous review on 2025-10-31“
