50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Jersey City

“Pho was amazing.. 10/10..“

“Wonderful restaurant with beyond wonderful and fast service...some of the best pho I have had in forever! And the server was so wonderful to put up with our group. The amount of food you get is beyond amazing and delicious! Definitely would come here again and would recommend it to everyone!“

“We’ve lived next door for a while now and I’m not sure why it took us so long to try out the food from here.

Ordered fried fish báhn mi and grilled chicken noodle bowl for takeout.

Both items were phenomenal.

I’m not much of a sandwich person, and other báhn mi’s I’ve tried have not been standouts. But this one is. The bread to filling ratio is perfect, and the bread they use is just really good bread. Flavourful, generous, filling and delicious, I think I may love báhn mi’s now.

The grilled chicken noodle bowl was so refreshing! It served genuine flavours and really fresh vegetables.

Generous portions, fresh ingredients, authentic flavours, I’m excited to eat my way through their menu.

So glad to find another neighbourhood gem.“

“Incredible vietnamese dishes. We triend several amd are always impressed. Never been disappointed yet. Their pho is great but try the other dishes too. They also have regular specials. Also highly recommend their desserts. Flan, cale, and rice pudding are really excellent.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The Bad :
Take Out only
No Tofu options
Veggie Summer roll inedible due to yellow colored iceberg lettuce.

The Good :
Veggie dumplings Big and stuffed with quality veggies unlike most Chinese places. Enjoyed them very much.
Grilled salmon in ginger sauce with bok choy and brocoli delicious .
White rice sticky and great flavor just plain.“

“Had a group dinner for a friend's birthday and absolutely LOVED the place! The ambiance was so cool and I could have stayed there all nice. Friendly attentive service. Great neighborhood spot!“

“Amazing food - highly recommended!“

“Check them out!! Very good pricing.“

“I've had Bahn Mi's all over NYC but this place is the most flavorful. They pack the sandwich with well marinated veggies, the meats are always tender and bread is nice and crusty. The prices are reasonable too at $11. I wish they offered appetizers too like fried spring rolls.“

“i am vietnamese and this gave me hope about the viet food scene in nyc.

that brisket banh mi was one of the best banh mi's i've ever had. also got their bùn sườn chả giò which was pretty decent. can tell the meat is good quality.

if i'm ever in the uws, would def make a pit stop here“

“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!!!!“

“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. 😋 👌 😊“

“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.“

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

“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 😋“

“Tasty & Tasty & Tasty & Tasty Beer“

“Fantastic Food with both traditional and original Vietnamese dishes!!! Cash only but worth the visit every time!“

“I love this place very much. I have to write a review because this place is very special to me now and I have to express my gratitude. I've been coming here with my father for some time now, and today we had the super delicious crepe, calamari, and pho, SO DELICIOUS and after finishing the meal with my father, he said that it has been a while since he ate so deliciously. Because of things that have happened to our family in recent years, meals that feel warm don't come as often anymore. So him saying that today filled me with relief. We always leave Sao Mai smiling because we eat so much and laugh about how full we are. In this restaurant, I get to have a meal with my father that feels so welcome, and provides me with a comfort of being in the moment with him.

Every single meal we have here is met with the utmost care, not just because we are customers, but because we can tell that they really do care. I truly truly truly cannot recommend this place enough. The pho is so hearty, their apps are unmatched, and seriously a gem. Also their Vietnamese iced coffee? OOOOOOOOO it is so good. It is strong AS IT SHOULD BE and just refreshes me everytime. SAO MAI MY DAD AND I LOVE YOU!“

“I honestly can’t remember how many times I’ve been back to this place, but that probably says enough on its own. The food here is genuinely excellent, especially the chicken pho. The chicken is tender, juicy, and full of flavor, and I really like how a squeeze of lime lifts the broth and makes it taste even brighter and fresher. The portions are generous, the service is consistently good, and the restaurant is always clean, well-kept, and nicely decorated. I often come here for lunch with my coworkers, and it has become one of those reliable spots we keep returning to. If there’s one downside, it’s that the restaurant only opens from lunchtime onward, so sadly it’s not an option when I’m craving a good bowl of pho in the morning.“

“Pho Table in Bensonhurst is a welcoming Vietnamese restaurant that offers comforting and flavorful dishes in a relaxed neighborhood setting. The space is simple and clean, with a casual atmosphere that makes it a good spot for both quick meals and relaxed dinners with friends or family.

The pho is the highlight of the menu, featuring a clear and aromatic broth that tastes rich without being overly heavy. The noodles are tender, and the toppings like sliced beef, herbs, and bean sprouts add freshness and balance to the bowl. Other Vietnamese favorites such as spring rolls and rice dishes are also well-prepared and satisfying.

Service is usually friendly and efficient, helping create an easy and comfortable dining experience. Overall, Pho Table is a reliable place to enjoy authentic Vietnamese flavors, especially if you’re craving a warm and satisfying bowl of pho in Brooklyn.“

“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.“

“WonderPho is wonderful!! We found this restaurant on our recent visit to NYC and it has to be one of the best Pho restaurants we've been to in the country. The portion sizes are excellent, the service is outstanding, and the flavors are rich and delicious! The entire crew was so kind and welcoming, especially Jeff who take such good care of us tableside! We will definitely be back anytime we are in NY!!“

“So happy I stumbled upon this restaurant - spent 2 weeks in Vietnam over Christmas and this brought me right back! Pho is just as amazing as in Vietnam - have tried a couple of places since back but this is just the best❤️
Very reasonable- super nice staff - very busy take-out but so nice to eat there too ! My new go to place when in the area and I will walk out of my way to get there !“

“Great foods especially pho; highly recommended!“

“The food is fresh and amazing. So happy there’s a Vietnamese spot in the neighborhood. Yay for bun Bo hue (and everything else; their Vietnamese iced coffee has sustained the addiction I acquired while in Vietnam wonderfully). Cocktails very good as well“

“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.“

“This is a food cart, but I’m still trying to find a better banh mi in the city! Recently tried some highly rated downtown options and let me tell you it was nothing compared to this cart! Also: very nice owner, great prices and freshness of ingredients.“

“EDIT: I take my pho reviews very serious. I’ve been here 3 times. The first 2 times were great. The 3rd time on April 4, the broth was not the same. The meat was not tender. The service felt unwelcoming. I brought my friends from out of town here and was disappointed. For 5 stars you have to be consistent. After this time, I may not go back.

To be fair, below was my first review:

I’ve traveled the world looking for different pho spots. This place is what you’re looking for. Their coffee is also great, not too sweet.“

“Friendly service, clean shop... delicious sandwich“

“The food is so gooddd. I have the spicy pork bar buns and the Lemongrass Chicken Bahn MI sandwich. Can you say Delicioussss.love love love. I live in East New York BK and came all the way for thisssss. Never been here before this was my 1st time and I'm going back...#littlemo'sisgood“

“This has got to be some of the best pho broth I have had in the area, to the point where I did not need to put any sauces to alter the taste. The beef combination had the perfect amount of meat and noodles to satisfy, not too much and not too little. I highly recommend the spot. 10/10.“

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

“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 😋“

“This place exceeded my expectations in every way. The menu offered many delicious options, and each dish was full of flavor and carefully prepared. The service was professional and quick, and the staff maintained a positive attitude throughout our visit. A wonderful restaurant for both casual dining and special occasions.“

“My friends took me here and I honestly enjoyed everything we ordered. The flavors felt fresh, balanced, and very comforting from start to finish. Every dish that came to the table disappeared pretty quickly, which is usually a good sign.

That being said, I do not have enough experience with Vietnamese cuisine to judge how traditional or authentic it is compared to other places. I can only speak as someone who simply enjoyed the meal a lot.

The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and it felt like one of those places people come back to regularly. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu next time“

“great Vietnamese sandwich and a lot of variety.“

“Found a solid spot inside LIC Food Hall — Pho Vital 🍜
They have lots of options and combo meals that are actually worth it. We got the lemongrass chicken rice and grilled pork vermicelli, both super flavorful and surprisingly light. The chicken was so juicy and well marinated, and everything came with fresh veggies on the side.

Also tried the warm ginger apple tea and Thai tea — both hit the spot. Perfect place for a refreshing meal when NYC weather gets hot ☀️“

“Their grilled pork bahn mi (extra meat, extra mayo) is still the best banh mi I’ve had in the city after 5+ years here. Doesn’t hurt too that the staff is so kind and the prices are great! Really a takeout/delivery spot - there’s not a lot of seating. You won’t be disappointed!“

“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!“

“Hola la Pho is a health conscious and vegetarian’s dream! This is going to be a place I look forward to ordering from again and again.

I ordered the Pho Chay to go and it was EXCELLENT! They package everything separately with care keeping the broth separate from the noodles, veggies and noodles and toppings as well as a great selection of sauces and toppings were included.

The broth is so flavorful and the vegetables are crisp and fresh. The portions were generous. I am over the moon with how excellent the food is!

Picking up my order the restaurant was clean and service was nice and prompt. I loved it here and will be back thank you!“

“I just ordered a smoked Brisket Pho, the Brisket was well cooked, the Broth was savory. Highly recommend!!!!!“

“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!“
