13 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Metuchen

“Don’t be fooled by the unassuming outside of this place! I came to this spot for lunch, it was decently empty and I was sat and served quickly. The inside is homey, clean, and has lots of seating to accommodate when they get busy. I got the egg rolls and the basic vermicelli dish. Everything was so good, it came out fast, the vegetables were crisp and fresh and the meat was well seasoned and delicious. The portion sizes were generous enough I was able to take some home as well. Will definitely come again!“

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

“I had an amazing experience dining here tonight. My boyfriend & I wanted to explore Vietnamese cuisine. I’m vegan & loved that they had multiple options for me. We ordered steamed vegetable dumplings to start. Fresh ingredients and the perfect starter to a great meal. The Thai milk tea was outstanding. Not too sweet yet creamy and addictive. The staff directed me towards the lemongrass pho with vegetables and tofu. It was out of this world! The lemongrass flavor was rich and comforting. My boyfriend ordered the Bánh mì. It was sweet and savory - the perfect balance. The baguette was fresh and the meat was very seasoned and well cooked. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Andy. You can tell he’s passionate about his restaurant and customers. I said I added too much chili oil to my broth (rookie mistake - it’s very spicy!) and he was kind enough to add more broth to my leftovers to lessen the heat. He was accommodating, friendly and kind. We can’t wait to explore the whole menu. Highly recommended!“

“We saw this place on TikTok awhile back and have been wanting to try it so badly because we don't have any halal pho in Philadelphia where we live. It was a little over an hour drive and I would say it was definitely worth it.

They have you order using a QR code at the table on your phone which was a little bit odd but I didn't mind it and the staff would come by if you needed to ask any questions which I liked.

We ordered a Thai Iced Tea, Vegetable Fried Spring Rolls, Banh Mi with beef, Pho with rare beef and brisket, and Pad Thai.

I loooved the Thai Iced Tea. It had the perfect amount of sweetness. The Vegetable Fried Spring Rolls were also very good. They were fresh and very crispy.

The Banh Mi was my favorite thing that we ordered. The meat was seasoned perfectly and the vegetables on the sandwich were crunchy and fresh. The bread they used was also really good. I wish we would've ordered a second one to bring home to go.

The Pho was just ok. The broth itself was really good but the noodles weren't the best quality. They were kind of chewy and sticking together in a big blob but also broken apart into small pieces when you would get them separated. The amount of meat they give you also wasn't that great compared to the amount of noodles. We wished there would've been a little bit more meat.

The Pad Thai was also just ok. It was good but not the best I have had. I think maybe I would've liked it more if I would've added chicken to go with it but I'm not totally sure. The quality of the ingredients were good but the flavor wasn't my favorite.

The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The bathroom though was atrocious and needs some help. The trashcan was overflowing with paper towels and there were used paper towels all over the floor. There was water all over the floor and the flooring itself looked really worn down and gross. They also don't have a paper towel dispenser and have a giant roll just sitting on a changing table that they have used as their bathroom table. It was very bizarre. That was my biggest disappointment about the restaurant. I would still come back even though the bathroom looked that way but it definitely could use a significant amount of attention.“

“After spending a month in Vietnam, including time in Da Nang (my favorite city), this restaurant always brings me back the country! My girlfriend and I have eaten here a few times and the food is consistently delicious. The Bun Cha is exceptionally tasty. For anyone who loves Vietnamese food, you need to come here.“

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

“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!“

“Big variety of great food! Love it! Highly recommended!“

“If you're looking for a clean home made tasting bowl of Pho this is your place. I prefer the chicken broth over the beef. I recommend the pork or shrimp Pho and the pork & chicken spring rolls are amazing and full of flavor. This place is pretty affordable and cheaper then the ramen houses close by.“

“These are not the only dishes we ordered. There were a few more like stir fried crab, and a vegetable. They are all so good!

The best thing about this place is that the seafood is fresh. And the server super helpful and easy to talk to. We like discussing what seafood is fresh and what she recommends. I’ve been here twice, and will come back more.

It’s like a home cooked meal from a family by the sea in China. Love it.“

“Never disappoints, always a hearty meal.“
