20 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Glen Burnie

“Pho, the traditional Vietnamese noodle soup, has gained international popularity for its rich, aromatic broth and fresh ingredients. Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at a local pho restaurant that far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked through the door to the final spoonful of broth, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made this restaurant truly unforgettable.

As I entered the restaurant, the scent of simmering broth and fresh herbs immediately awakened my appetite. The space was clean, cozy, and inviting, with soft lighting and tasteful Vietnamese decor that set a calm and pleasant tone. I was greeted right away by a smiling host who seated me quickly and handed me a menu filled with a wide variety of dishes—not only different types of pho, but also traditional appetizers, rice plates, and beverages.

The service throughout the meal was outstanding. The waitstaff were attentive without being overbearing, always ready to answer questions or make recommendations. My server was patient and helpful when I asked about the difference between rare beef pho and brisket pho, even suggesting I try a combination of both. My drink arrived within minutes, and the steaming bowl of pho followed shortly after. The speed and efficiency of the service impressed me, especially during a busy lunch hour.

But what truly stood out was the quality of the food. The pho was absolutely delicious—one of the best I’ve ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful, clearly made from bones and spices that had simmered for hours. The noodles were perfectly cooked, soft yet firm, and the beef was tender and juicy. Fresh basil, lime, bean sprouts, and jalapeños were served on the side, allowing me to customize the dish to my taste. Every bite was comforting, flavorful, and authentic.

What also made this experience memorable was the attention to detail. The utensils were clean, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for such high-quality food. Even small things, like the server checking in to ask if I wanted more napkins or offering to pack my leftovers, added to the sense that the restaurant truly cared about its customers.

In conclusion, this pho restaurant left a lasting impression on me. It combined exceptional food with top-notch service and a comfortable atmosphere, making it the kind of place I would recommend to anyone. Whether you’re a longtime pho lover or someone trying it for the first time, this restaurant is sure to offer a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.“

“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.“

“Pho Dena never disappoints! The food is incredibly tasty — the broth is rich and flavorful, and everything is fresh. The service is also top-notch; the staff is friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious pho!“

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

“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!“

“Always a good choice. One of Crofton’s best.“

“Tried this place for lunch and had a delicious Bun ga nuong (chicken with vermicelli noodles). Good price for a large portion. Also had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was tasty and strong. The service was quick and friendly. Only downside is it’s in an old and unpleasant food court. Great food great price!“

“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 have been to Pho Bac several times and it is my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the Baltimore area. There are many places that serve great pho, and Pho Bac does this as well, but Pho Bac is one of the only places to find Bun Cha, which is absolutely delicious. I also love their combination stir fry (Mì Xào Giòn) with crispy egg noodles and Saigon Golden Crepe. I love this place and want to keep coming back and try other dishes.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our favorite restaurant. Always delicious and amazing customer service.“

“Had the chicken pho. Very flavorful broth with plentiful garnish. Friend had the combo pho which was also delicious. Additionally, there were some special deals like free drink with purchase of a pho bowl that really sweetened the deal. Very well priced.

Very clean establishment and friendly staff. Can’t wait to come back!“

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.

“Excellent food! Quick delivery, my new obsession.“

“We LOVE Vietnamese food. The best place for Vietnamese food we’ve ever been (outside of Vietnam, of course) is not Paris or New York but Houston. By far. And Indochine in Baltimore stands up to many Houston spots. It’s that good. The vegan options are limited, but you’ll be so happy with the banh mi, the pho, and the rolls that you won’t care. The bread for the sandwich, in particular, was exquisite, and the vegan broth for the soup was tasty. Go!“

“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!👏👍“

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

“The food was yummy 😋 and big portion 🎯“
