50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Brooklyn

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice place, good food, great service!“

“The food here is like coming home after a very long day. Whether you want to have a 23 hour pho (bone broth), or their amazing Bahn Mi, so much homey comfort. My brother showed me this place literally in June and being asd I've ordered this sandwich literally twice a week religiously. And you know that subway sandwich smell you hate when you have nothing else to eat? Smell lingers- you'll want this food to linger 😋“

“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“

“I am a native SF Bay Area woman with specific needs - and Banh Mi Place hits. Over the last 4+ years, I consistently enjoy the classic and braised beef as well as a grilled pork sparingly. Their summer rolls are filling and the peanut sauce is close to perfect.

I don’t often order pho from here, however I will pick up a side of broth almost every time I order.

Staff is attentive, communicative, and sweet.“

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

“We absolutely love the food here! Everything is full of flavor and always tastes fresh. The portion sizes are very generous, so you definitely get great value for the price. The chef is originally from Vietnam, and you can really taste the authenticity and care that goes into each dish. We’ve been here many times, and it has become one of our go-to spots whenever we crave something delicious and satisfying. The prices are also very reasonable compared to the quality and amount of food you receive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for tasty food, big portions, and a place that never disappoints!“

“Nice atmosphere for a place with standard Vietnamese fare. Prices were a bit high, but you're paying for the atmosphere, location, and good food. Pork chops were delicious. I enjoyed the tenderness and charring. The wrapper for the spring rolls had an interesting texture. They reminded me of a Chinese crispy birds nest but more delicate. The team serving us were attentive and efficient.“

“Very friendly staff, fast service, and a nice atmosphere. The fried kalamari was crunchy and not oily at all, the banh mi was amazing, and the pho was good but the taste of cilantro is a bit overpowering. The portion sizes were great. Definitely try this place!!“

“If you're here for a very good sandwich I cannot recommend this place ENOUGH! They just opened and I wish to see a lot more people in the store for the quality and quantity of food you get for the price. I just had their grilled pork Banhmi sandwich and wow was I blown away by how good it was. I have yet to pick an item off the menu that was underwhelming. If you're ever passing by or doing errands, please take the time to stop by this store. I promise it will be worth your money!“

“I've been coming here for a few years and they have yet to disappoint, knock on wood!! They are like my second family at this point. Their Vietnamese coffee is to die for and I absolutely love their recipe for the Bun Bo Hue. The quality has NOT changed at all and I am grateful and also thankful they do not skimp out on the quality of their dishes. I really do hope and pray this place stays open for a long time.“

“First week it opened sat down and food was amazing. I’ve ordered a handful of times since and not as good, but not bad.

Please add option on uber eats to include sauce with Bah mi sandwiches. I have to call every time and tell them, not sure why it just doesn’t automatically come with sauce packets…“

“Found this spot and was satisfied. Enjoyed their vegan bahn mi. The bread was good and it was a good size. You can definitely share it if you’re not that hungry. Had their fresh roll as well. Small cafe so seating is limited. Glad to have found this spot in an area of mostly fried chicken and pizza. Friendly staff. Vegan and vegetarian options. Just a heads up we were told the vegan pho is not entirely vegan. The soup is meat broth. Other than that, food was good and fair price.“

“Really recommend this Vietnamese restaurant :)“

“This is the best neighborhood Banh Mi shop. My lover always gets the shredded chicken sandwich and orders one spicy for me, and gets one regular for himself. Great sandwich. I always end up just eating half, its alot of food, and he eats the other half. Ok, maybe 80% of the time. I do wish they had a spicier option, MORE SPICY PLEASE! They also do have some summer rolls, however with shrimp and pork, I pick out the pork and shrimp because I do not eat those and eat the rolls. Great bang for your buck.“

“This Banh Mi place is one of my favorites. I love their new braised beef sandwich. The bread is crispy, and the sandwich is fresh and hot with a good amount of meat. I also love the refreshing boba teas here. I tried many Banh Mi sandwich places before choosing this as my regular.“

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

“New Banhmi Cafe your cooking style brings out the best in simple ingredients. This spot was exceptionally good. The taste quality extends across the entire menu. Employees dependably demonstrate authentic kindness. Even with my limited budget, I suggest this spot.“

“Been wanting to try this highly rated Banh Mi shop and finally had a chance to pick up a Mr. Banh Mi and a Vietnamese iced coffee to go. Gentleman handling our order was polite and friendly. Glad to see it’s a small locally owned family business. The banh mi was fresh and well prepared overall. The bread is made in house from my understanding which is impressive. In terms of texture and taste of the bread it’s about average and I’ve had better at a couple of other Brooklyn Banh Mi spots. The veggies are finely shredded which is different than other spots however I did find it lacking a bit of zest. The minced BBQ pork filling is a take from the OG Banh Mi spot that’s been around 40 years in Chinatown. Speaking about filling/cold cuts - it’s your usual except banh mi filling just a tad less amount wise compared to others. The traditional mayo and pate was definitely on the light side or lacking. On to the iced Vietnamese coffee pretty decent taste as some decent spots. Overall I give them kudos for baking their own bread and for prep/presentation but price is a factor comparing other banh mi spots in Asian areas as $13 for a banh mi in Bensonhurst vs $8 to $9.50 in Bensonhurst/Sunset Park/Bay Ridge is a tough bite to digest unless possibly yours is significantly better/bigger than the others. But I still wish their shop to prosper.“

“The tofu Bánh mì is delicious (get the jalapeños and sriracha!) and portion size is HUGE. 1/2 is basically the size of a normal full size sandwich. The green papaya salad was also bangin’ but I forgot to take a photo. The atmosphere of the place is extremely pleasant - so cozy and really a nice aesthetic. This is a different Bánh mì than any I’ve ever had before, and though it’s not quite authentic/traditional in taste or style, it’s unique and delicious anyway.“

“The outside is unassuming compared to the beautiful garden in the back. It’s a perfect spot for a date or a cozy dinner with friends. The drinks were all hits (I loved the lychee sunrise although it is very sweet). The banh xeo and bun bo hue are definitely the most worth ordering of what we got. I’d probably skip the lemongrass beef summer rolls and try some of the other ones. The only reason for 4 stars is because the service was slow to get our order in and we were waiting for awhile, but they are very kind!“

“I ordered takeout outside of lunch/dinner hours - can't comment on the atmosphere but the food was ready quickly. I ordered the portobello mushroom salad and the veggie chicken bánh mì. The salad was a hearty size and while a couple of bites were a bit on the spicy side despite ordering the mild option, overall the bánh mì was excellent. Seemed good value for the money, just hope in the future they can offer a veg phở option rather than the current beef broth varieties.

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian options *other than* the phở. I think they just opened though so hopefully they'll offer a veg recipe at some point soon! Also like that they specified how to make something vegan and offered that customization.“

“Delicious food... beautiful hip, relaxed atmosphere!!“

“Stumbled upon this cozy and delightful resto. Got one of the lunch specials - a Banh Mi roasted pork sandwich and mint tea. Perfect on a blustery fall day. Every yummy sandwich starts with good bread and theirs is freshly baked and slightly crusty and holds up to the meat and veggies in between. They don’t hold back either. My sandwich had a generous amount of savory and flavorful roasted pork along with the julienne carrots and other veggies. And service was kind and efficient. Could smell the deliciousness of my sandwich on my R train back to manhattan. I really enjoyed this sandwich and will definitely stop in again.“

“The chicken lemongrass php was delish. I could smell the aroma of the lemongrass which was tantalizing!!!“

“Absolutely delicious Pho Ga & buttered clams. Great staff who was attentive & hospitable, knew the menu, & offered fantastic recommendations. One of the best pho meals I’ve had & best service. Highly recommend. I & my 7 year old daughter we’re there & we both absolutely loved it.“

“This has been favorite Vietnamese spot in NYC for years and I’ve tried quite a few. The flavors, service, vibe are all always spot on. I appreciate that each dish speaks for itself in demonstrating how the staff knows what they’re doing. From vermicelli bowls to banh mi sandwiches and anything else you would like, you’re bound to enjoy the dining experience.“

“Ha Noi in Brooklyn hit me like a surprise vacation. The food was incredible, comforting, sharp, and perfectly balanced. I ordered the BBQ pho, and it might be the best bowl I’ve ever had. The broth was rich, the meat smoky, and the noodles held together beautifully. My partner finished hers fast enough to prove I wasn’t exaggerating.

And then there’s the bathroom. Anthony Bourdain once said, “I won’t eat in a restaurant with filthy bathrooms. They let you see the bathrooms. If they can’t keep those clean, imagine what the kitchen looks like.” Ha Noi’s was spotless. That kind of care tells you everything about how they run the place. I’d go back tomorrow without hesitation.“

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

“Tried the traditional banh mi sandwich today. I enjoy spicy food so I requested for extra spicy. Was surprised that it actually had a good kick to it via some jalapeños and a spicy mayo type of sauce. Not ridiculously spicy but honestly spicier than I expected from food from this neighborhood (no shade)

I would’ve rated the sandwich 5 stars if it wasn’t for the pickled veggies being chopped into small chunks vs the long crunchy julienned style that I usually find and enjoy. This one was a bit mushy ear in texture due to how they cut it and perhaps prepared it. Usually the veggies are my fav part of the sandwich though 🥲

However, the service was great. The male cashier was giving family owned business from the way He was so attentive and monitoring all the tables, proactively offering extra utensils and paper plates when those dining in needed it. Nothing fancy but I really appreciate when customer service is on point.

Overall I’d come back here when I’m craving a viet sandwich but if you want a really great one you gotta go deeper into Brooklyn (try 8th ave - ba xuyen) or of course make the venture into Chinatown which is closer to downtown bklyn“

“My go-to Viet spot in South Brooklyn!! It's an authentic, comforting neighborhood spot run by the sweetest twins. The food here ALWAYS hits and the service is quick. Their Spring Rolls have a nice crisp and their Pho is great, however my FAVORITE dish is their Beef Cubes over Rice - chef's kiss!!

Other honorable mentions are the Banh Xeo, which is basically a crispy Viet Pancake with shrimp and bean sprouts filling, and Crispy Calamari, YUM!!

One downside is that the prices have gone up over the years, but TRUST that you can always find me here when I'm craving Pho in the neighborhood!!“

“Bubble tea and their pastries are amazing! I had the matcha cheesecake and it was delicious! Love the staff over there!“

“Perfectly plated goodness. My mind and body felt elevated instantly. the environment was so alive and oddly I matched the pink ambient lighting perfectly.“

“Good Pho, convenient location. Reasonably priced.
Been there a couple of times since and even though it is still good the do not serve Thai basil with their pho which is strange.
I assumed it was an essential accompaniment - for that alone I will try elsewhere and see if the service is better.
Service lost a star.“

“First time trying Pho with my partner & it did not disappoint!
The beef was so tender and juicy & his meal was just the right amount of spice to his liking!
Like he said, “Can’t go wrong with ordering Beef Stew!”
Hot & yummy to warm us up on this cold windy day.“

“As a pho lover I have to say GIA LAM on 48th Street is absolutely the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Brooklyn, if not the entire NYC and beyond for a number of reasons.

#1. With today's inflation, I was able to pay only $43.50 with tax included for 2x pork chop with rice and 2x Pho Soup #1. You will not find a Vietnamese Restaurant this affordable.

#2. The soup base is perfect. The meat and additions are generous and complete compared to other restaurants that is much less or missing certain meats.

The pork chop is abundant. More than 2 pieces are always given compared to other places. And the meat is delicious and well-cooked and char just right.

#3. They make your food fast. I ordered and in less than 15 minutes, it was ready.

I've eaten at this place for the past 5 years.

Give it a try. You will definitely not going to regret it.“

“This is one of my favorite food places ever! They’re extremely respectful and kind ! The food and boba never disappoints as well. I highly recommend this place. There’s also seating so you can enjoy your meal/ drink with a friend or solo !“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
**Banhmigos is a Flavor Explosion You Don't Want to Miss!**

I stopped by **Banhmigos** in Brooklyn and was absolutely blown away — this place is a *hidden gem*! I ordered the **peach green tea with boba** and a **chicken bánh mì**, and both were *phenomenal*.

The peach green tea was refreshingly light, with just the right amount of sweetness, and the boba had that perfect chewy texture. But the real star of the show? The chicken bánh mì. The bread was **baked to perfection** — warm, crispy, and *toasted just right*, which took the sandwich to another level. Every bite had that satisfying crunch followed by juicy, flavorful chicken, crisp veggies, and a delicious balance of sweet, savory, and spicy.

While the space is small and seating is limited, Banhmigos *more than makes up for it* with the **exceptional quality of their food** and **friendly, fast service**. The staff were kind, efficient, and clearly take pride in what they do.

If you're anywhere near the area, **make it a point to stop here**. Whether you're craving something refreshing or a sandwich that seriously hits the spot, Banhmigos delivers big flavor in a small space. I can’t wait to go back!“

“For a 24 hour place, I think it does exactly what it needs to do. I came here after a late night out and a nice warm pho was great. I think the portion is good and out of food options that’d be open late at night, this is pretty good. It was also good service for a 24 hour place. I didn’t love their steamed dumplings but the pho was good.“

“the Banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) is very good and their other things are also pretty good, I heard, but it is a long wait, usually about 10 minutes if not busy and 20 minutes when there is a few people there. Also there is no dine in since the place in extremely small. So you order, wait outside, get your food, and leave. but definitely worth the wait if you have the time“

“the beef pho could be so much better. Love the toppings, love the amount of meat, and love the flavor of the soup but the noodles suck. it is as if they overboil the noodles way ahead of time or just have poor quality noodle. Please get better noodles“

“The thoughtful decor makes dining here a feast for all senses. Every worker adds to the welcoming atmosphere. We chose multiple dishes for communal enjoyment. The service staff is friendly, food is satisfying, and amounts are generous. I'm already missing their food.“

“i love the banh mis here. they're delicious and generously sized- perfect for a quick dinner, or if i get one for lunch, i always save the second half for a snack later. i love the chicken satay one but the ground pork and crispy tofu are also good. the bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. great thai iced tea too.“

“I was here last week for a food event/car show(?). The line and wait to get inside was not all too bad minus the stray rain showers that came down once in a while. Food was amazing but the venue itself was not well ventilated so I had to catch myself going outside after a short while.“

“两个小孩子都喜欢吃，下次再点两份外卖“

“Had the Bahmi with the Brisket and it was very flavorful. Ordered when we got there and dodnt wait long and had a great conversation with the staff. #chipotlejacketsforeveryone #equalrights ���“

“Pho Hoai on Avenue U in Brooklyn is an absolute standout and a true neighborhood favorite. The food is consistently delicious, comforting, and full of authentic flavor—especially the pho, which is rich, aromatic, and perfectly prepared every time. You can really taste the care and tradition in each bowl.

The staff are friendly, attentive, and welcoming, creating a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience whether you’re eating in or ordering to go. Pho Hoai is the kind of place you can rely on for quality, warmth, and great value. If you’re in the Avenue U area and craving amazing Vietnamese food, this spot is a must-visit. Highly recommended. 🍜“
