50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Bethesda

“The Pho with Lemongrass broth is healing“

“Unexpectedly outstanding vegetarian menu. The eggplant nigiri sauce was memorable, followed by refreshing radish-wrapped vegetables. Toasted rice beautifully complemented the creamy panna cotta. The entree was the best; the bamboo texture was just right. Pickled mushrooms had good bite, their acidity blending perfectly with leeks and cilantro sauce. Perfect ending with a refreshing sorbet and rich chocolate.“

“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“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“I ordered the Pho Tai, Gau... OMG so good. I ordered delivery and it was still fresh. There was no option on the third party app to request extra limes so I called to requests and the individual on the other end was extremely kind. Back to the food, it was GREAT as delivery... I can only imagine it is phenomenal as dine in and piping hot. Bravo.“

“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 always say that when you're on a trip you should go where the locals go.

This was exactly what I mean by that.

As soon as we walked in I knew it was the spot because every table was full of people.

I opted for the bahn mi and shrimp summer rolls.

I thought both were great and just wish I lived nearby to go more often.“

“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☺️🥰😋“

“Absolutely my favorite restaurant! The food is always amazing, but what truly makes this place special is the outstanding service. Nguyen and Khiem always go above and beyond to make every visit a wonderful experience. They are incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about their customers. Their hospitality makes you feel right at home, and it’s the reason I keep coming back. If you’re looking for delicious food and exceptional service, I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you, Nguyen and Khiem, for always making every visit so memorable!“

“The owners really take pride on both the decorating and the cooking. The services are always with some personal touches; lots of regular customers. Nice homie ambiance and authentic Vietnamese dishes.

The curry Chicken, crispy pancake, ground beef wrapped with grape leaves, steamed sea bass in brown sauce, pork belly buns, papaya salad, Hanoi style pork, a warm taro desert, grilled scallops, and the deep fried whole flounder is fresh and crispy; the best around town!

Love their Christmas tree; now they have some hearts for V day, so pretty!“

“Delicious Food and Fantastic Service!
My family went to Viet Corner last week and we had such a great experience. We ordered three dishes to share: Cơm Tấm (Broken Rice), Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Beef Noodle Soup), and Bún Thịt Nướng Chả Giò (Vermicelli with Grilled Pork & Egg Rolls). Everything came out absolutely delicious and suited our family's taste perfectly!
A few highlights from our visit
The food came out very quickly, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
On our way out, I ordered a Banh Mi to go, and it was seriously so good! 🤤
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful Vietnamese food. We will definitely be back!“

“My girlfriend and I went on a mission to find the best Pho in Maryland. This is 100% it. You can smell it the second you enter the front door. The service is so quick and so kind. The food is extremely consistent. Whatever recipe they use is the best!!! And the quality of the fatty brisket is perfect🤌“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Highly recommend the pork banh mi, my favorite in nova. The meat is marinated better than any other location so far. Came a second time and the Beef banh mi was okay, wouldn’t get again. Also the veg was hardly pickled, first visit was amazing but not so much the second time. The service is great though and I hope this place continues to do well.“

“The workers are all lovely and kind, we chatted while my food was being made. The prices are as normal as any other price, and the food was pretty good. I got a pork sandwich, perhaps I shouldn't have gotten it so spicy but other than that it was enjoyable. Totally reccomend!“

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

“Fab place for food and drinks. Great staff and good value“

“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.“

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

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

“We ordered the pho tai bo vien, grilled pork rice bowl, beef vermicelli, and shrimp spring rolls. Each item was delicious, and tasted crafted and made with love. The pho broth in particular had an incredibly rich and deep flavor. Definitely worth a try!“

“Fast, casual, and flavorful.

Service- you look at the menu through a QR code and either order at the counter or if employees is not busy (with Togo orders) will come over and take your order

Food- pho was so tasty. The broth was full flavors and great portions of protein and veggies.

Space- the space is small and simple. About 8 tables, clean.

I will come back and even order takeout!“

“One of my favorite spots to eat in Eden Center. Possibly new owners because the menu and staff changed but food is still so good!
This is our reliable spot to get good food. The service is always attentive and nice.
Tables always clean.
Recommended dishes: Nem Nuong Rolls, Bun Cha Ha Noi, Bun Nha Trang Dac Biet.“

“great spot for authentic Vietnamese food , I frequently come here for the quality & friendly experience. highly recommended 10/10“

“The broth is so rich and flavorful that there’s no need to add anything else to it. Portion sizes are appropriate and hosts are kind and understanding. A literal hidden gem. Atmosphere is colorful, quaint, and homey. Would absolutely recommend !!!!!“

“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“

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

“ordered delivery. pho was perfect summer rolls were good and plentiful size for 12 year olds appetite. had combo pho and shrimp pho very pleased. wish I could get this where we live!!!“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“My husband and I finally came here for the first time last week and we’ve been back twice since. The green tea drinks are super fragrant, summer rolls are refreshing, and the pho is Viet-approved. Literally craving it again as I write this!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“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.“

“Walking into this spot, you are immediately welcomed by a cozy, inviting ambiance and excellent customer service. It is a Vietnamese spot, but the kitchen is run by an all-Salvadoran crew. Having traveled to both El Salvador and Vietnam, experiencing this felt like a beautiful, unexpected cultural fusion that made me feel right at home.

The food completely takes you back. We started with the summer rolls, which were exceptionally fresh and delicious. For the main courses, I ordered the beef special pho, and she got the vermicelli bowl loaded with grilled shrimp and grilled honey lemongrass pork. While my pho was deeply comforting, rich, and a great reminder of the amazing food out in Vietnam, I have to admit I was incredibly jealous of her dish—the vermicelli bowl was absolutely out of this world!

To drink, I tried the iced tamarind topped with peanuts. It is fantastic and heavily reminded me of the refreshing tamarind drinks we enjoy back in the West Indies.

Between the top-tier food, the warm atmosphere, and the friendly service, this place is an absolute five-star neighborhood treasure. I highly recommend it!“

“The best place to eat at Eden“

“The pho here is great! The broth is warm and flavorful and the meat cuts are perfect. Their garden rolls were so fresh and tasty as well as their chicken crispy rolls! We had to order more towards the end 😅 parking is decent compared to the amount of dine in space available. Staff was nice and attentive by refilling drinks, taking our order and providing more information on the menu. The Beef Pho we got was #19 and was a generous serving. Would highly recommend!“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Best pho in town. And we've tried plenty of other ones over the years. It's so good, I feel like we go here every week. Ingredients are always fresh and the staff is always friendly. Price, portion, and quality are unmatched. Even when we lived in FL we made it a point to go here when we came up to visit. Also, the ones in FL don't compare. But now that we've moved back, it's our go to place.“

“We have been here every week for over 2 years now. The food are consistently prepared with care and quality in every details. Dishes we adore are Canh Bún, Rice with Fried Chicken, Cơm Tấm Đâc Biệt. The other dishes are all very good too. You should give a try . The place may look not crowdef at all at times but it is no way indicative of the food quality!“

“The grilled pork vermicelli was very authentic and tasted just like in Vietnam. The pork was sliced thin, well marinated, and grilled over charcoal, giving it an amazing smoky flavor. The fish sauce was perfectly balanced and paired really well with the noodles and fresh vegetables. The spring rolls were also crispy and delicious with flavorful filling. Overall, it was a great meal and I’ll definitely come back again!“

“Good restaurant for family and closed friends, not for first date, clients, and Michelin class atmosphere. The parking is good. Safe area and clean. The foods are good!!! The price is reasonable, the service is great, the people work hard and paying attention to diners. I like egg noodles the best but pho is closed second. This is a place to eat to live at a good place and fair price quick.“

“I always like their food and services there. Good place to have home made Vietnamese food.“

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

“I recently visited Banh Cuon Thang Long and honestly, it exceeded my expectations in the best way.From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, authentic, and very much like a hidden gem tucked inside Eden Center. It’s not a flashy place but that’s part of the charm. You can tell right away that the focus is on the food and the experience.
The bánh cuốn was the highlight soft, delicate rice rolls filled with savory ingredients and topped with fresh herbs, crispy elements, and perfectly seasoned fish sauce. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and balanced. The flavors were light but still satisfying, which is exactly what you want from authentic Vietnamese cuisine. What really made the experience stand out was the service. Phuoc was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. It felt personal, not rushed, and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure guests enjoyed their meal.The menu has a great variety, but you can’t go wrong with their signature dishes. It’s clear they focus on traditional preparation and fresh ingredients, which really comes through in every bite. Overall, if you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food that feels homemade and full of flavor, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality from Phuoc, he made my experience so much better. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

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