50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near East Rutherford

“Great food, fast and friendly service. Great staffs.“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“Drinks are extremely unique and delicious. Loved the use of the shrimp paste in their drinks. It adds just the right amount of nuance in a drink. Banh mi was also delicious and it was great that it came with a side of truffle soup. Earth and Nicky were fantastic at the bar. Cant wait to come back with friends soon.“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“Love the food. Staff pretty friendly. Sometimes I call in ahead to order. Love their popular #1 bbq pork, and I asked for extra spicy which is a good level spicy for high spicy tolerance ppl lol. I think there's no bathroom available. There's sitting area but limited.“

“The sandwiches and appetizers are so good. The meat is not over cooked and just melts in your mouth. Perfect meal for a cold rainy day. I do have to say the pho is not good though. Not very flavorful, we tried the all beef pho and the duck noodle soup which were both a miss.“

“Came in for the Pork Belly Banh Mi and was not disappointed by any means. Bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as it sopped up the juices from the pickled veggies and the sauce. The sauce is mild on the spice with a little tang which complimented both the pickled veggies and pork belly incredibly. Last but certainly not least, the star of the show, the pork belly was sooo tender it basically just melts in your mouth. 10/10 definitely recommend!“

“Saigon Social is an amazing Vietnamese restaurant in the LES of Manhattan. Owned and operated by Helen Nguyen who uses her wonderful restaurant to prepare food for those in need for various organizations in NYC. She is a wonderful person and an amazing chef using her classical training to prepare amazingly authentic and forward thinking Vietnamese dishes. It’s a must visit!!!!“

“We really enjoyed our experience at Mam! We didn't have reservations but they were able to accommodate us within 10 minutes of our arrival. I know we werr very lucky, but the team seemed incredibly efficient which I am sure was 80% of our luck. ;)

The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining what we were eating and how Vietnamese people typically eat the items. Each dish we had was fabulous in its own way. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant and fried vegetable rolls.

I don't think I have ever had Vietnamese food, but based on my experience at Mam I will plan to sample more.“

“A great place to eat I love their pho chicken sandwiches but best of all their curry chicken soup is really good as well.My son introduced me to this place and it's been a favorite of mine ever since. 😋 👌 😊“

“Nice and warm. The food was Delicious!!n definitely will be back!“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“I regret not having captured an image of my meal. The Com Chien Sao Mai dish, which consisted of House Special fried rice with Ginger fried rice, shrimp, chicken, and spam accompanied by a pork chop, was exceptional. I intend to reorder this dish frequently due to its perfection. The culinary expertise displayed was evident, and the meal was prepared with evident care. I highly recommend this establishment, rating it a 10/10.“

“I came to Em Vietnamese Bistro on a whim, craving something warm and comforting on a cold, snowy day, and I am so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and calm. The space is relaxed and spacious, with beautifully lit lighting that creates a cozy, welcoming vibe. It is the perfect place to enjoy a hot bowl of soup.
I ordered the Bún Bò Huế Đặc Biệt after our server, Mint, shared that it was her personal favorite. When I asked her to help me choose between the spring rolls and wings, she genuinely recommended the spring rolls, and I truly appreciated her honesty. Her warmth and attentiveness made the experience even better.
The food did not disappoint. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with a generous variety of meats that added depth to every bite. The spring rolls were perfectly crispy and, just as promised, absolutely delicious.
Overall, Em Vietnamese Bistro was a wonderful experience, from the ambiance to the service to the food itself. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, high quality Vietnamese food.“

“The food here is soo good. Every now and then I stop buying food outside because food is way too expensive and sometimes it’s just not that good. I was so hungry and walked by and wanted to finally try it after having passed it a few times… No regrets at all!!! The staff there are so patient and chill. I got the lemongrass chicken rice bowl and it was just so good. Decent prices, clean shop with seating, good flavorful food. Dk when I’ll be back but I’m excited to try some other stuff“

“Tried their OG Banh Mi, and WOW.... the baguette was incredible, easily one of the best Banh Mis I've ever had. The coconut cream coffee was also delicious and paired perfectly with the sandwich. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu.

One tip: instead of waiting in line for hours, I ordered online for pickup. super quick and convenient. That said, I'd love to dine in next time to enjoy the full experience.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Such a cute and cozy spot! The food was super yummy, the vibe was chill and comfortable, and the staff were so kind—especially Pim, who made us feel really welcome 💕

I had the crunchy spring rolls and shrimp summer rolls (no pics because I was way too hungry 😅), then the Pho Dặc Biệt, Hanoi-style Banh Mi, and finished with the most perfect Flan Cà Phê.

💥 I dare you to try the Pho—the portion is HUGE and totally worth it! Trust me, you’ll leave full and happy 😊“

“Walked by this place and laughed at all the oddly translated phrases adorning the cart. Fresh cooking, real taste, good mood food. Then I got a Bahn Mi and let me tell you, it tasted fresh, it tasted real, and it put me in a good mood.

Cannot recommend this place enough, its just a delightful place, pretty quick service unless its super busy but its rarely longer than 5 minutes. Nice guys running it, I'd try more of the menu but the special baguette gives me no reason to try anything else. Maybe one day.“

“The Best Pho in NYC, the broth is delicious & Service fast and friendly. It been my 3rd time here. I was not disappointed. I recommend all my friends.“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“Very friendly service,cute little shop with beautiful decorations and art. The house limeade is refreshing and sweet and the Bun bo hue was the best I ever had it was hearty and delicious. Favorite Vietnamese in the area.
2nd visit was just as good this time got the pho supreme its so delicious and warming especially during the winter and flavor is on point. Limeade was less sweet this time but still refreshing.“

“Excellent food and a wide variety of options. Have enjoyed everything we’ve ordered.“

“Omg this literally the best pho ever.
I had a LARGE beef brisket pho. The broth is to die for. That is a good thing after a hangover. The shrimp spring rolls are a good appetizer. The chicken and shrimp fried rice was amazing. The chicken noodle soup was the best ever. He had grilled chicken. My boyfriend needed this to revived himself. Chicken soup is good for the soul. The kind that says you matter and makes you feel you're blessed.

As soon as we got in they greet us with smiles and good tea. That's why we needed after a good night. Real soup is to the body what peace is to the soul. Soup is a symphony of flavors dancing on your tongue.

Thank you for having us and serving us with warmth greeting.“

“I just went there for the 1st time today. Didn’t realize we had this gem so close with some friends and family. Husband and I tried a few dishes as we like to try as many as possible and every was so delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon. 🥰“

“I've tried every single Vietnamese restaurant with Banh Mi around the Historic Downtown area and this place has the best sandwiches. Very sad I don't live closer to pick up the food or I would order more often. I've ordered dozens of times and the food & service has been consistently great. Highly recommend!“

“I have been to this place every other day the past month, and countless times before that. The food is mouth watering, this is coming from someone who has been to more countries than holes on his body.

The staff are also very friendly and willing to accommodate reasonable requests! I love Pho Express!“

“What a find!!!! This new Vietnamese find was so delicious!!! The food is fantastic, service is excellent and ambience is really so pleasant. Loved this place and will definitely be back, soon!“

“We ordered TOM XAO CARI XA OT CAY which is stir fried curry and lemongrass, HU TIEU XAO CARI CAY which is rice noodle w/curry chicken and Pho Do Bien which is rice noodle seafood soup.
My take was a little different than my husbands, so I’ll give you both. The price were very reasonable, albeit the portions were more like lunch size, but for me it was enough.

The dishes had a decent amount of noodles but could have used a bit more protein and vegetables. I thought the curry dishes had a nice sweet curry flavor but I didn’t taste any spice in either dish nor did I get a taste of citrus from the lemongrass. I still enjoyed it and would
go back again and try some other dishes.

My husband on the other hand had a different experience. He said the soup was good but felt the curry dishes were very bland and lacked flavor especially salt and spice. I am not sure he will be going back with me. 😂

Overall I recommend you check it out for yourself. The jury is still out for us, but I would try it again.“

“I admit I didn’t have very high hopes when I came across this spot as a recommended lunch place; maybe I was afraid to be disappointed since I love Vietnamese cuisine.

But I am happy to report that my order was delicious (I got the bun). Excellent flavors, great mix of textures and colors, perfectly seasoned. My only hope is that they offer bowls of pho broth in the future.

I’d recommend you pick up a book from Watchung Booksellers right next door (it’s attached to the restaurant) and have a peaceful lunch here.“

“This is by far the best Vietnamese restaurant in Manhattan! My whole family loves it, and we constantly crave their food! We love everything on the menu. The chef/owner is phenomenal, and Emily has been so incredibly kind to us every time we visit.“

“Popped in last night with 4 young adults. The staff were super friendly, really helpful and the Food was probably the best that I've had in NYC this week. Great range of food, reasonably priced and massive portions. The food was super quick arriving but we did not feel rushed at all and enjoyed and lovely evening. Would Recommend!“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“This place was such an incredible find. Easy street parking is a definite plus. Service was spot on, even as a large group. Everything we had was amazing, especially the spicy lemongrass soup. It was so good, we got one to go! The flan was the best we have ever had as well. Great prices, great value, and overall a great experience. Will definitely be back the next time we head to JC!“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Delicious food and cool atmosphere. My place in NYC“

“I love the #5 but it’s almost never available whenever I visit. Ugh. But I’m still giving tenten 5 stars because when I am lucky enough to order #5, I forgive them immediately. Other menu items are super flavorful, too. Also I love their condiments. Please please please sell your hot sauce separately!!!!!!“

“Amazing food !!
truly feels like Vietnam. The soups were incredibly flavorful and the noodles were perfect. The place was very busy, which says a lot, but everything moved fast and smoothly. It’s a small spot, yet super efficient. The soup bowls are huge portions, which we loved. We also tried the banh mi and it was delicious. We found this place by accident while walking and ended up having such a great experience. Would happily come back again.“

“I came about this restaurant driving on the 440 in Jersey City and looking for something to eat and Walla I found my to go place, whenever I want to eat Vietnamese food this is my place to go! Love the Food, the workers very friendly and the atmosphere. I have been there numerous of time and will continue to go there. I love their Mi Hoanh Thanh, Pho Tom, Pad Kee Mao with Beef,Bun Tom Nuong Cha Gio, Goi Cuon and of course their Delicious Mango smoothie to die for!!!!!! lol.“

“Tasty flavorful and delicious the bread is to die for“

“Obao is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC! I have never been disappointed here. Best atmosphere, staff, food, and drinks all for a reasonable price. Highly, highly recommend!!! Especially the calamari 😋“

“Twin Tails is excellent Thai-Vietnamese fusion. Excellent-tasting natural food every time with great sauces, spices and textures. I've tried probably close to half of their menu by now. Relatively fast service even when busy. Availability is good - have always been able to get a seat with no or minimal wait (but we'd like to keep it that way so don't share this place with too many people). Convenient location. Not too noisy or crowded. Nice interior decor and vibes. Very reasonable prices given all aspects including food quality. Some tables are slightly small (depending on how much you order), but if you sit on a sofa or next to the windows there's at least more space to place unchecked belongings, etc. Something for essentially everyone on the menu, whether you're pescetarian (like me), a regular omnivore, carnivore or herbivore (vegan/plant-based).“

“Short Rib Pho was delicious..definitely coming back“

“Fantastic Vietnamese place, especially for first time diners. I had a delicious Bahn Mi sandwich with pork and DEVOURED it. My friends got some of the appetizers and the vermincelli all of which was also incredible. Food came out very quickly and hot. I also recommend getting one of their “exotic” drinks to try, especially the mangotree drink. It’s very similar in texture to mango nectar and very yummy! Overall, had a great experience and can’t wait to go back.“

“Small restaurant but packs a huge punch. The Mama Pho was amazing. Broth was flavorful, beef and beef balls were tender. Bánh Mi was also great, the bread was crunchy but soft. The iced Vietnamese coffee was a perfect accompaniment to the food.“

“Excellent food excellent service! Everything was so fresh and delicious.“

“My favorite 🍜 place in the 🌎 😋“

“Yummy yummy Good service Nice place“
