50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Bethesda

“The Pho with Lemongrass broth is healing“

“Excellent meal for Valentine's Day! We had the special Valentine's Day menu (pretty much all new entrees) and it did not disappoint. The pork "spring roll" was amazing, as was the beef with grits and wish they could appear on their regular menu one day. The service was excellent as always. The wine was delicious and reasonably priced for the bottle.“

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“delicious. service is otherworldly, unlike any place else really. only knock is limited menu, which on the other hand makes ordering really easy. elegant, simple, clean, and, most importantly, the pho broth is the best“

“I recently had the pleasure of discovering Hello Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant located in Rockville, MD, and it was love at first bite. I cannot sing enough praises about this hidden gem. The standout dish at Hello Vietnam is undoubtedly their "phở thố đá sườn bò". This is hands down one of the most special pho dishes I have ever had the pleasure of savoring. The beef ribs are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. It is a true symphony of flavors that is both comforting and oh-so-delicious. There are many other options that are as delicious such as “bánh cuốn”, “bánh đúc, “bún bò Huế”, etc. The best part? The prices at Hello Vietnam are incredibly affordable, making this culinary delight accessible to all. Beyond the exceptional food, the customer service at Hello Vietnam is truly top-notch. The staff members are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They know exactly what is expected of them and go above and beyond to ensure that every diner has a memorable dining experience. Their warm and affectionate demeanor makes you feel right at home, adding an extra layer of charm to the overall dining experience. The location of Hello Vietnam is also quite convenient, making it easy to find and access. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or planning a leisurely dinner with friends and family, Hello Vietnam has you covered. I have had the pleasure of dining at Hello Vietnam twice now, and I can confidently say that I will keep coming back whenever I am in town. The delicious and unique dishes, exceptional customer service, convenient location, and welcoming setting make this restaurant a true standout in the Rockville dining scene. Don't miss the opportunity to experience it for yourself – you will not be disappointed!“

“I genuinely never write reviews but I have to because this is genuinely one of the best pho spots in the dc area by FAR!!! easy quick delicious and good price. Be sure to get there for dinner on the earlier side as it actually fills up and its very mom and pop so be easy on the staff! love them and will be going back again and again“

“Little Saigon is a friendly and welcoming white-tablecloth restaurant offering an extensive Vietnamese menu of deliciously prepared and graciously served appetizers, entrees, and side dishes. On this, our first visit, we were seeking pho, and were amply rewarded with generous snd delicious servings of both a chicken pho and a beef pho, and our vegetarian Spring rolls were a great start. We’ll return soon to sample more of their enticing menu.“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Others do too- it gets busy shortly after it opens. I have had the Pho, Bahn MI, Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce and I have to get the Green Thai Tea. I have gone back for that alone. I love it! Try it, you won't regret it!“

“Tôi thường xuyên đến Present Restaurant để thưởng thức món ăn, và nơi đây đã trở thành một trong những nhà hàng Việt Nam tôi yêu thích nhất ở Virginia. Các món ăn vừa tinh tế vừa sáng tạo, vừa giữ được hương vị truyền thống Việt Nam, vừa kết hợp với phong cách ẩm thực hiện đại. Dù là gỏi cuốn thanh mát, phở bò đậm đà hay những món đặc biệt được trình bày đầy nghệ thuật, tất cả đều để lại ấn tượng sâu sắc. Đây không chỉ là nơi thưởng thức ẩm thực, mà còn là một trải nghiệm kết hợp giữa thị giác và vị giác, khiến tôi luôn muốn quay lại nhiều lần☺️🥰😋“

“This place definitely wasn’t bad but not outstanding. The banh xeo was super crispy and had lots of flavor BUT didn’t have nearly enough lettuce or topping to eat it. the pho (which was $18 btw) was good but nothing crazy. I like my pho spicy so not having any chili oil at the table made a big difference. The ladies serving the pho lack SO much customer service, very impolite & didn’t address us in any way. idk i felt like the service was slow getting the check especially since we were the only ones there. i personally wouldn’t go here again, its close by Eden center where they serve better pho & customer service.“

“Absolutely delicious! Staff were friendly, food was prepared quickly and was so flavourful. Highly recommend.“

“I ordered the Pho Eye Round Steak & Well Done Brisket and it was so delicious! It was accompanied by a large amount of fresh bean sprouts, basil leaves, chopped onions, cilantro and jalapeños. The portion size is more than plenty for 1 person, so I saved half to eat the next day and it tasted just as good. Will return again for more soon! 😋“

“This was my first time visiting the place, and I decided to stop by after seeing the good reviews.
There was an extreme cold and strong wind alert today, which might explain why it wasn’t very crowded, even on a Saturday night.
There were plenty of seats available, the service was great, and the food was absolutely fantastic, truly delicious. The atmosphere is very clean and pleasant.
Prices are fair and in line with the market average. When it’s time to pay, you need to go to the counter.
Overall, I highly recommend it! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

“I love Phonatics. Something about the texture and flavor of the broth makes it my favorite, and I love sitting at the window and watching 14th St. There is even a bald eagle that flies around Columbia Heights that I occasionally spot from the window.“

“Exquisite cuisine complemented by a charming atmosphere! Their house-brewed Vietnamese coffee tastes and smells so good. The new soft-shell crab with tamarind sauce is so yummy and reasonably priced. I will definitely come back for their delectable chimichurri steak. I will definitely come again to try out the banh mi and other lunch options as well as other authentic Vietnamese items. I love that with a menu brimming with authentic Vietnamese dishes, they also offer a tempting array of vegan and exotic options. It's a great addition to the modernized Takoma Park.“

“I had a full meal at this Vietnamese restaurant. The spring rolls were about the same as any other pho restaurant but the broth for the wonton noodle soup did not disappoint. I got it with pho tuoi since i like the fatter rice noodles. I finished my entire bowl!“

“I came to this cozy Vietnamese restaurant primarily to enjoy a warm, flavorful bowl of pho, but I ended up leaving with a sense of belonging and being part of a welcoming family. Omg, this place was unlike any other I've experienced. Its strong sense of community, along with the caring and a strong Mom made the pho here special and memorable.“

“This place is cute and reasonably priced, but I wasn't wowed by the food. I got pho and a chicken bahn mi to go and dug into the sandwich the moment I stepped outside. The sandwich was not very hot and there were no jalapeños on it. (I was not a fan of the egg on it, either, but that is on me for not reading the menu more carefully.) Unfortunately, the chicken pho broth was not nearly as flavorful as I was hoping and the soup was carried by the condiments. Overall, while I thought the people and atmosphere were nice, I was not thrilled with the food.“

“Great food - Nhung mon an thuan tuy cua VN, tuyet voi.“

“I’ve been eating at this place since 2023, and it is definitely the definition of “Comfort food”. There are many Pho places in DC, but this one has the best taste! The Pho has always been delicious, with a consistent taste and good amount of meat. The dishes are varied and served fast but without missing a detail. The prices are also very good.“

“I think what stood out even more than the food was the attentive and caring service. I visited with my two kids, and it was clear that the staff genuinely took the time to recommend dishes and check what we wanted.
The pho here is reasonably priced and tastes great. The drinks were delicious, and the crepes were freshly made and very good as well. I’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu next time.“

“This is the kind of place you want spend your money in. small family run, soft shell crab is heavenly and really never had a less than fantastic meal there. For us no better Vietnamese food than Nam Viet. great service too.“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“Delicious food. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Everything on menu is great quality. My sons and I love the pho 🍜 and Bubble Tea 🧋 We try to eat here once a month. Thank you Pho An & Grill for such amazing food and kindness 🪷💕🪷“

“1/7/2025
Portion was huge for a good price. Good flavour everything, especially broth of Bún Mắm which is very hard to get a nice balance. We also had 33. BBH but forgot to take pic cause I was starving.
The only thing disturbing me is that the lady gave us some attitudes cause our group of four did takeaway afterwards but gave too little tip compared to another customer who was alone.
The services should really do better, cause this place is really cooking good dishes.“

“All I can say is .... wonderful pho at this restaurant. Definitely reconmend!.“

“Nina and Mike have built an incredibly special place in DC. The pho is delicious, highly recommend the spicy lemongrass pho. I typically go for a 13 full spice, but sometimes I change it up. My husband is a big fan of the banh mi, which comes with sweet potato tempura which is sooo goood! I can go on forever, I've happily ate everything on the menu. The staff are all lovely and friendly — together with the owners they a great big family filling bellies and hearts.“

“great food and service, was awsome and very filling 😋“

“this was the BEST pho I’ve ever had!! I got their Banh Mirria Sandwich, and it was the most delicious thing i ate all week. The bread was soft and fresh, the beef and cheese were scrumptious. Highly recommend! I’ll be following them around the US for the rest of my life“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Very tasteful and fresh. I am surprised with how natural the broth tasted. Not like any other pho places around here. good for them. I will be coming back happily.“

“This was my first time at RollPlay and had been wanting to try for a while now- I ordered the spicy oxtail pho- very flavorful and portion just right. Personnel were so hospitable and ordering process was very easy at the screen. Priced a little bit high but it’s probably due to location.“

“good Broth, though i think it will be even better if they cook the onion a little more

eye round beef, good meat but a little bit over done, would prefer rare beef

Beef Brisket is really nice! ******* 7star

noodles is ok“

“The gluten free options here are amazing! We’re coming from Baltimore and DC to eat here and it’s well worth the drive. Not to mention the very hospitable staff. 10/10, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I got the Com Tam (which is broken rice with grilled pork, sunshine fried egg, shredded pork skin, and chả trứng) last Saturday (Aug 9,2025); the taste is like homemade food. This made me remember back when I ate Com tam in VietNam way back long time ago. I loved the grilled pork, which was tender and the chả trứng (VN steamed Egg meatloaf) is kind of cold, I knew that they had made before, it didn’t not have time to do everything in the morning. For me, it’s ok since the kitchen had to prepare for the food. Overall, I like this Com tam, with a Ok price , around $18 for a dish like this. And I’m happy with that. This brought back the time I was in secondary school and I always picked Cơm Tấm for almost every lunch while I had a break time in school. Thanks.“

“I love this place! I have been coming here for the past year and it has become my go to spot. The pho is amazing and their pork rolls are delicious. I come here at least 4 times a month and the service and food have been great! The prices are reasonable for the portions. I have gone to other pho places in the area and either they have been around the same price for less or cost more for less. Their chili oil is one of the best and it might be because it is made in house.“

“best bun cha ha noi in town.“

“We stayed in Virginia for 2 days, but this was the only restaurant we kept coming back for because their bun bo was delicious, and that comes from southern Californians who frequently have authentic, good bun bo. We tried many other items on the menu as well. All was great & so fresh! Our 2nd favorite was stir-fried baby clam with crispy rice paper.
Aside from delicious food, their service was absolute gold. Very friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful decoration. They offered to take our photos with dedication, making sure we leave with beautiful photos. They also gave each of us a small, delicious dessert at the end of our meal.
Highly recommend this restaurant. Will come back when I'm in town again.“

“I have been going to this place for the past four years and I can say it is by far my favorite pho restaurant! You know a place is good when they only have one type of dish on the menu! The atmosphere is perfect for a quick bite, most people are in and out, it does not claim to be anything fancy - just simple hearty food. Be aware that this is a CASH ONLY establishment, I always come with a $20 bill and that is always enough to cover my meal + tip. I would recommend the eye round steak & brisket pho. Always one of my favorites to cheer me up. There is free parking outside of this establishment. The manager is clear, straight to the point, and will get you your meal quick and efficiently! Give this place a try if you are in the area.“

“Hidden gem in Eden Center. Worth the effort to find this place deep in one of the interior corridors of Eden Center. True to its name, the chicken pho (great for those who don’t want beef broth) is amazing as is the Vietnamese take on seafood tom yum soup with rice noodles. Absolutely delicious and spicy. Free iced tea came with the meal. Vietnamese iced coffee also great. Clean and modern. Will be back to try other items. Great for a quick lunch.“

“The food and service are consistently good. They never fail. Love FSG.“

“it was ok, not too pleased with the ambience, lacked lighting and heat.. it was open early, that was a plus for this place“

“I found this restaurant, just a couple of blocks from my hotel. It was absolutely packed during lunchtime. I ordered the Canh chua (Vietnamese, sweet and sour) soup with shrimp. It was amazing. It’s very hard to find this soup in Vietnamese restaurants so when I do, I always order it. I saw the other dishes coming out - pho and fresh spring rolls - and it all looked great. I also had the Vietnamese iced coffee, which was fantastic. The servers were very busy, but also attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Service was really attentive and super nice and super opinionated which I enjoy. The food was fresh and plentiful. I really enjoyed the fresh spring rolls with sausage and fried crunchy inside along with the fresh herbs and noodles. It was delicious.“

“Food was great! Don’t let the emptiness scare you. The restaurant is kinda hidden in the mall on the entrance end of the Eden center. The service was great! The lady is kind of checking on you to make sure your needs are met and the food is great. Hu tieu Nam Vang was great, great sauce and toppings. Their signature “Bánh ướt dĩa chồng dĩa Buôn Mê Thuộc” aka rice paper plate on plate was good with rice paper to wrap with herbs and different hams like chạo tôm (shrimp paste wrapped on sugar cane, vietnamese ham, grilled pork) and 3 different sauces (fish sauce, fermented fish sauce, and peanut sauce). Bánh bèo is good. I’m used to Hue style which the rice batter is thinner but this is still good.“

“Dimmples kettles is a great place to visit, I enjoyed the food and their services. I will recommend this restaurant to everybody. I mean ever race. Their prices are very reasonable and moderate.
Keep on Dimmples kettles

“Đồ ăn hải sản, Miền Trung style, nhậu rất ngon. Có karaoke ? chơi thoải mái.Unbelievably affordable price, the sizes of the King Oysters came out looked stunning. The overall dishes look and taste great. Must try!!I did not mind the small and lack of table spaces, it made this place feel more cozy, warmed, and welcoming with the additional karaoke. The open vibe is truly unique to stores commonly found across southeast Asia. I will come back with more friends.“

“This was my first time at RollPlay and had been wanting to try for a while now- I ordered the spicy oxtail pho- very flavorful and portion just right. Personnel were so hospitable and ordering process was very easy at the screen. Priced a little bit high but it’s probably due to location.“
