50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Takoma Park

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Pho VN One in Laurel is hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around. The pho is incredibly flavorful rich broth, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles every single time. Their portions are generous, and everything tastes so fresh.
The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and the service is quick even when they’re busy. I also love their spring rolls and iced coffee they’re the perfect combo!
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with family, this place never disappoints. Definitely a hidden gem in Laurel highly recommend!“

“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“

“(2026 Update... This place used to have the best service and the best tasting Pho in town. The broth is no longer flavorful, the spring rolls are soggy and greasy, and the service is not as great. They are still nice to customers, but not attentive and forgetful of orders.) (2022...The Pho is so delicious 😋. It's very small inside and very clean. We arrived when they first opened and we barely got a table. Try to get there early if you're going on a Sunday. The staff's really nice and the food is so good. The broth is very flavored! Awesome place!)“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🪷💕🪷“

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 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.“

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

“My favorite place to get pho in the College Park area! Great prices, delicious food, good portions, and friendly staff. My sister and I come here almost every weekend, and have gotten to know the owners who are very friendly! Would highly recommend!“

“This is my favorite restaurant to visit when I'm in the DC area! Not only is the food amazing, but the service is next level. You can tell by how authentic the food is that it's a run by people with great care and appreciation for Vietnamese food. There's something special about a family run restaurant, and this one is as good as it gets. I would recommend the Pho (duh!) and also the chicken wings which are sticky, sweet, and crispy!“

“I actually used Banana Blossom Bistro for catering a lunch event for about 40 people, and it was stellar. The service, the food, the presentation. Everyone at my event was talking about the food for hours afterwards. We got an assortment of banh mi and the cabbage salad. The pork banh mi was INCREDIBLE. Annie was kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I can't recommend them enough!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“It’s been years since I’ve had Pho as good as I did today here. The pho was so flavorful, the ingredients tasted so fresh, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. And of course the meat was delicious. I got the P2 and my boyfriend got the P4. But the best part was probably the beef wrapped in grape leaves (the dipping sauce was so good I drank it when the beef was gone). Also we had the Thai tea and it wasn’t too sweet, which is hard to say for most Thai teas. Can’t recommend it enough.“

“I just discovered the best Vietnamese salted coffee here in Silver Spring – it’s seriously amazing! The flavor is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. On top of that, the prices are super fair, the service is warm and professional, and everything is so clean and inviting. Definitely my new favorite spot!“

“As we all know, good pho is judged primarily by the broth. I’ve had better tasting broth and if I could, would give this spot 4.5 stars instead. The broth was missing something. Maybe anise or ginger? Although, excellent value. The bowl was relatively larger than is expected in the area. The slices of beef were tender. Overall, definitely recommend.“

“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 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“

“It was a pleasant experience, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming.

The host / waiter were super friendly, super nice which made my experience even better. Thank you Nancy

The restaurant was tidy and clean 9/10.

Talking about the food: I ordered,

● Fresh shrimp summerroll: it was fresh and done the right way, and the peanut sauce was good.
● Chiken spring roll: was crispy and not greasyat all, I did not like the souce that comeswith it (you need to make a new soice please).
● Dumpling: I had netter, can be much better.
● Pho beef combination: was just perfectly done, the broth was flavorful so as a whole it was just delicious.

Food quality was great and fresh, survise was really good and fast.

Would I come back? Yes I would and Highly recommend it.“

“I've been to Pho Hoa Binh twice now - my first visit was about a month ago, and I just returned today. I'm absolutely impressed by the staff's friendliness and amazing memory - they actually remembered me from my first visit! That kind of personal touch really makes you feel welcome.

The pho here is consistently delicious. Every bowl we tried was flavorful and satisfying. But what really stole the show for me was the Vietnamese iced coffee - it's absolutely incredible! They top it with a thick layer of milk foam that makes it tastes more delicious 🤤

The combination of excellent food, memorable drinks, and genuinely warm service makes Pho Hoa Binh a place I'm already looking forward to visiting again. Highly recommend!“

“Spot on broth. No condiments required. Hold my beer.“

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

“Pre-paying for food and tipping for food you didn't get yet is total BS!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“I think this place has the potential to become a long-lasting establishment. The bread is baked in house and perfectly crispy. There is an incredibly diverse menu to appeal to everyone; vegan options, pescatarian, etc. The staff is incredibly kind and patient and informative. Generous portions and imo reasonable prices(10.95 for shrimp Bahn mi)

The issue for me is balance. The sandwich is great but a bit heavy on the pickles radish. Not really any carrot. Minimum cucumber, and a reasonable amount of cilantro and jalapeño but it’s drowned in the pickled onions.

I’ll definitely comeback. There’s an eggplant Bahn mi that sounds enticing. And i hope they grow and get that tiny bit better“

“The Pho with Lemongrass broth is healing“

“Phenomenal spot to eat! The food is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly. My wife and I have made this place a weekly dinner stop. This is a family-run business and you can tell the owners put their whole hearts into it. Can’t recommend enough!“

“One of my favorite pho restaurants. Love it 🔥💯“

“Great service and great food. Place always is clean. Good portions of food.“
