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.“

“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!!!“

“Small but great pho spot. I usually don't eat pho at restaurants as a lot of places don't sell anything close to authentic but I will say the pho here was very good and the bun bo hue (to go) was great! It was missing some traditional ingredients such as pig feet and others but the flavor was there. They also pack your bowl with noodles as well. They were also surprisingly busy for a Monday afternoon. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“If you are looking for tasty Pho and vietnamese food, give this place a try.

I was looking for a Pho place nearby. I have never been to this location and thought I would give it a try. I am super glad I did. Service was very pleasant, friendly and prompt. The owners were super sweet and visited each table.

The prices here are super fair for what I ordered..I ordered a small #1 soup, summer roll, and a thai tea. The thai tea ia easily the best I've had and I have had plenty. The summer roll was fresh and came with two and peanut sauce. The small pho is huge! I was incredibly impressed with the portion of meat in the soup, esp for a small size. The broth was really flavorful and i enjoyed it thoroughly.

Ill definitely be back within the week!“

“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 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.“

“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🤌“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Phở ngon , thơm , giá công bằng👍“

“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“

“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!!!“

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Came here with my partner to get some pho. These days I feel going to restaurants isn’t worth it unless it’s for food that is difficult to make — pho is one of those. The place had one or two other people seated for lunch on a Friday. We were told to sit wherever we liked.

My partner got pho with extra meat, and they brought the extra meat out in a small bowl, which was great to see that it was indeed extra. I got pho without meat (their only option for pho <$10). They gave plenty of the classic toppings (bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, chilis). We also got the fresh rolls as well. The rolls were not as good as I’ve had at other Vietnamese places — there were no herbs in it which would’ve really improved it. The pho itself was delicious and definitely worth getting.“

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

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

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

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

“I LOVE this place! It surprised me to see the number of less-than-stellar reviews, as I’ve had nothing less than a great experience at Ba Le. I’m terribly picky so I can’t comment on the foods and drinks other people order, but I’d wholeheartedly recommend a #12 shrimp sandwich and a mango smoothie! The sandwich is DELICIOUS (I don’t even particularly like sandwiches) and the smoothie is refreshing and lightly sweet. The two people I’ve seen at the counter have been nothing less than helpful and kind, and it’s relaxing and quiet inside. Definitely go and give it a try!“

“Great but about just as good as their Rockville counterpart. Favorful soup and fresh veggies. The area here unfortunately isn't as safe feeling so we'll have to stick to Rockville.

Service is fast and cordial. The atmosphere is inviting and business seems always busy.“

“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 had a fantastic experience at Pho 25. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and the service was efficient and friendly.
The food, however, was the real standout. I ordered the lemongrass beef with rice, and it was excellent. The beef was tender, perfectly seasoned, and had a great char that packed a ton of flavor. The pickled vegetables and fresh salad on the side provided a crisp, bright contrast that balanced the savory meat perfectly.
I also had a chance to try the pho, and the broth was exactly what you want—aromatic, clean, and deeply flavorful. It’s clear they don’t take shortcuts with their ingredients here.
Everything about the meal felt high-quality and well-executed. If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese food that hits the spot, this is definitely the place to go. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Really really good banh mi and pho!!! They make the best golden crepe (banh xeo). This is my favorite Vietnamese place in the DMV because they are fast and the food is very authentic and worth the price. I’ve been coming here for over a year and I always crave the food.“

“Customer service today, extra next time. General Tso was lightly breaded and very fresh and crispy. The pork soup dumplings where soft and very taste, all around amazing experience.
Also, Got a pork Bahn Mi to-go since the food was so fresh.“

“Solid pho, plus it came out extremely fast and the place seems clean. Would happily try other things there. The worst part was the noodles: not great but ok given that it’s a casual and fast spot; the noodles were almost exclusively short and there were few long ones, perhaps overcooked and they fell apart.“

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

“Amazing Pho I definitely will be back“

“Everything was delicious! We especially loved the combo fried rice! The staff was friendly and professional. We stopped by on a whim, but I wish we lived here so we could become regulars. We had no idea we were going to get such quality, authentic Vietnamese food in Arlington!“

“The food here is outstanding! Hanne had just created a new fried banana dessert and invited us to be the first to try it—it was absolutely amazing. The prices are very reasonable, the service is warm and personal, and the quality of the food will definitely keep us coming back. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!“

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

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

“Polite and attentive staff. Food came out in a reasonable time. Similar to many other pho places, but I was excited to see chicken wings as well.“
