14 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Ellicott City

“Today was my first time here and I tried so many delicious dishes! I was searching for the closest location that had Bahn Mi Sandwiches like I had in California! This place, Viet Pearl exceeded my expectations!! Their chicken wings taste like home fried chicken wings!“

“Amazingly tasty! Everything was so fresh and delicious. The staff was delightful too!“

“Very good and large portions! perfect place for a nice lunch date. They also are on Door Dash! Seated promptly and food came out quickly.“

“Ordered the summer rolls and the grilled pork chop dinner with white rice and a side of pho broth. The food came out pretty quickly despite how busy it was. The portion size for the pork chop was huge, and everything was SO good. Definitely my new favorite Vietnamese spot in Columbia. Highly recommend!!“

“I always come here to eat my pho! It's a classic family owned shop and relatively informal, so don't be surprised to hear some shouting 😂 but it's a sign the place has good food!

My suggestions are: pho #1 and traditional banhmi! Although all of their pho and banhmi are great 🤗“

“I never write reviews but the banh mi was so amazingly flavorful, I had to let others know! The bread was crispy on the outside, chewy and tender inside. The sandwich was filled from end to end with cool crispy pickled veggies and warm sliced lemongrass beef. It came with a bonus large side of hot french fries which were crunchy and perfectly seasoned. Looking forward to trying the other menu items. Thanks for bringing deliciousness to Clarksville!“

“The food here is amazing! Friendly owners, broth is good. Love the cafe sua da as well. You can tell that the owners put their whole hearts into serving the food here. Will definitely come back in the future. Please do yourself a favor and check this place if you are in the area!“

“FIRST TIME AT THIS PLACE. HAD ORDERED THE CHICKEN PHO. ALL I CAN SAY IS DELICIOUS !!!!!“

“Whew, let me tell you, this bowl of Pho brought me back to life! After a night of a little too much fun, l woke up with a ruthless hangover and knew I needed something restorative. Enter this small, quaint, and beautifully authentic Vietnamese spot that felt like a hug from the inside out.\n\nThe moment I walked in, I was greeted by the calming scent of burning incense (one of my favorite things) and surrounded by the warmth of Vietnamese culture: altars, food offerings, and little touches that made the space feel sacred and alive.\n\nYou could tell this place wasn't just serving food; it was serving heart.\n\nI ordered the Pho with steak & flank (large, because... hangover) and it was everything. The broth was rich, the meat tender, and the portion generous enough to feed both my body and my spirit. The staff was kind. Customer service started off standard, but when I asked about the difference between the meats I ordered in my Pho, one of the servers came back with a full, thoughtful explanation. It was clear they cared about both the food and the people eating it.\n\nThey had all the classic fixings! Basil, lime, bean sprouts, jalapeños... the works. I also tried the summer rolls, which were tasty (not mind-blowing, but solid), and I loved that they gave a spoon with the peanut sauce. It's the little details that make a dining experience memorable!\n\nBy the time I left, the place was packed, and I could see why. It's cozy, comforting, and brimming with authenticity. Whether you're nursing a hangover or just craving something soul-soothing, this spot delivers.\n\nFrom my chopsticks to yours - MeMe“

“My family stopped at PHO 5UP for pho and it was absolutely delicious! The broth was flavorful, portions were generous, and everything tasted so fresh. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The best broth in the area, possibly the state. I love the generous portion sizes on the meat whether you order delivery or sit down inside. The staff is quite attentive and very friendly every time I visit.

There's a convenient hand washing station near the back wall which I find very thoughtful.

I highly recommend stopping here if you are passing through or just in town. The atmosphere is very laid back and the tables have ample spacing to keep everyone slurping in peace 😁“

“Love it ! Pho yummy! Coconut drink fresh! Mango smoothie fresh! Love it! Every where I go for vacation! Just looking for pho #1 to eat! Thank for good service!👏👍“

“Wish I had taken pictures, but Pho was really good VERY good healthy portions of protein. Broth was solid, but they have the normal add-ons if you want it spicy or saltier.

They were kid friendly, and the lunch special had a nice set of options. Everything came out great and service was solid and polite. Would come again and recommend. I want to come back and try some other non soup dishes.“

“Great food. Haven’t ate it for hangover but it hit the spot when my stomach wasn’t feeling good. Thanks y’all.“
