11 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Franklin Park

“Had lunch here on a Saturday, place was empty and the waitress took our order immediately. Good came rather fast. We had the spring roll, it was not bad. I had the special beef noodle soup, little smaller than NY portion but enough. Broth was tasty. Wife had the vegetable noodle soup and she like it. Much improved since we were last here. Will definitely go back.“

“absolutely love this place. great food. friendly owner. reasonably priced“

“I can't speak for the other reviewers who said the pho was bland or premade. Sounds like a hater to be honest! I really enjoyed my meals at V-Town and the woman who worked at the register was very nice and friendly. So here's my review from an uncultured American:

Dining Experience:
V-Town's aesthetic has some cute wall decorations and the latest point of sale technology for paying with card or cash. However, the tables and chairs are typical of chinese takeout places. So this isn't a place with super fancy decorations or mood lighting, it's functional with some music in the background, cool wall decorations, and of course you have to have the toy cat that waves.

There is not a lot of staff here, which makes it seem like this is a very small operation. But the people who are working there clearly work very hard.

The Food:
So, I actually discovered V-Town on Doordash and it was super cold out so I wanted something to warm me up. I got the pho with the well done flank steak. Once on doordash and when I went in person.

When you order the pho, all of your veggies will arrive on a separate plate. So, you can choose to add as much or as little as you want. In some other places like Bravo Pho in PA, I believe everything comes in the bowl all at once.

Regardless, the flavor of the broth was wonderful, warm. The flank steak was succulent, and the vegetables tasted fresh. For my wife, this was her first time trying Vietnamese food so I got her the Banh Mi sandwich.

She loved the freshness of the carrots and cucumbers and really enjoyed the flavor of the pork protein. Also, I did get a brown sugar boba tea which my wife kept stealing from me.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meals from V-Town and look forward to introducing more friends and family to this place.“

“need improve the waiting time“

“I had the lemongrass banh mi and it was amazing. Nicest people“

“**UPDATE REVIEW**

We originally arrived at 9:50 PM because the posted hours said they were open until 11 PM, but were told they had already stopped serving due to closing early for the rain. While we understood, it would have been helpful if the hours were updated or a notice was posted to avoid the confusion.

That said, we came back another time and had a great experience. The meal and service were excellent, the food was delicious, and everything was well worth it. We’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“After leaving the temple my family stopped by for dinner. Our server Daniella was amazing group of 14 (4 spit bill )including 6 kids let us take our time to look over the menu. Daniella have an amazing personality food was fast and delicious. Front desk ladies were very friendly we even bought some deserts to go before leaving. This place is amazing make us felt so welcomed with our own section near the bar nothing like the East Rutherford NJ location.“

“Hands down the best pho in NJ. Best staff. Just go!“

“Delicious food, very good and kind service. I will back always when I will be in Princeton!!“

“Amazing pho def recommend for lunch or dinner“

“We stopped in on the way back from a trip to Trenton. We searched for a place to get Pho, soup dumplings and boba tea. This place hit on all three.
This is a small store front and at 9 PM on a Saturday it was very busy. There were a few seats open but most were full. There were a half dozen or more people waiting for food and drinks and a steady stream of people were coming in to pick up takeout.
The decor is contemporary, bright and busy lots of signs, specials, menus, etc.
There were only three employees visible and all were in constant motion.
The service was efficient without time to do much more than acknowledge each customer.
The food and drinks are focus and the draw
I am not a huge fan of boba tea, but when asked to try it, I have to say that it was excellent. The milk tea was rich and flavorful, the bobas were not too sweet, the texture was so much better than others that I've had. (Admitting that I am no expert, I will say that I will definitely explore the drink options when I am able to visit again.)
The soup dumplings were delicious. Many different flavors shown through and blended perfectly.
My favorite pho is roast pork, which was not an option, so we got the standard beef. It was also very good.
This seems to be a Princeton staple and I can absolutely see why. I wish they were closer. I would absolutely be a regular if it was close to home!
I would highly recommend this place!“
