20 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Catonsville

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

“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 🤗“

“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!“

The Hangover Cure I Didn’t Know I Needed 🍜🔥

Whew, let me tell you, this bowl of Pho brought me back to life! After a night of a little too much fun 🍹, I 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.

The 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. You could tell this place wasn’t just serving food; it was serving heart.

I 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.

They 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!

By 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.

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

“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!👏👍“

“We found the Buttonwood by accident but are so glad we did! Across SS from the Walters Art Museum, the food and service was excellent. We had lunch on a super hot day in Baltimore. the Buttonwood was cool and relaxed. Prices were excellent. The beef bulgogi sandwich was tasty!“

“The food and price were hard to believe. My background is Vietnamese so my expectations were low to begin but they definitely win for value and the quality they give at that price. Highly recommend for no frills decent Viet food at unbeatable prices.“

“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!!“

“Excellent Pho! Great staff and amazing food!“

“Went there while not feeling so well, around 2pm. It wasn’t really busy, the vibe inside is very homey and warm. It kinda feels like a family run place. The older lady at the desk was very sweet and welcoming and ordering was fairly easy. I got seafood pho and the #25 on the menu. I was sick but I could still taste the flavor. Solid bowl of pho, I will come back.“

“My overall experience was, I would say OK. I ordered the steak and meatball Pho & Summer rolls with peanut sauce. The pho broth was delicious I only use the noodles and sprouts, which was plentiful and delicious. The summer rolls were rather on the small side. I was not used to having pork in my summer rolls so that was a little bit of a turn off for me personally. The peanuts sauce seem to be a little on the salty side. But overall I would definitely recommend for a very wonderful experience inside and out restaurant was very clean. The staff was very friendly. It literally only took seven minutes to get my takeout order. He said 10 to 15 and it wasn’t even that long. My third Vietnamese restaurant to try my area so far- my second best.“

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

“Honestly might be my favorite restaurant in Baltimore - top quality Vietnamese food that is always delicious and super comforting when it’s chilly or I’m not feeling great. The veggie broth pho is great for vegetarians, definitely a super flavorful and satisfying veggie broth! Pho toppings are always fresh and high quality. I also like the fried tofu vermicelli bowl“

“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 😁“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very very basic. Nothing interesting as far as flavors. Barely any chicken and a TON of noodles. Only taste is sweet. Disappointed and won’t return“

“The food was yummy 😋 and big portion 🎯“
