5 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Whitby

“My new favourite spot in Durham. I've been on the hunt for a good Vietnamese restaurant in durham for many years. Food was delicious and service was awesome. The atmosphere was nice, clean and spacious.

The gentleman in the kitchen came out to explain ingredients in dishes we had questions about, and also offered us some great chilli topping/side we weren't aware was available. He was very friendly. The gentleman at the front was also very nice.

We ordered the shrimp and vegetable stir fry (tom xao rau cai) with extra shrimp, which was delicious and a good portion size. The hue style spicy house soup with pork & beef (no blood pudding), and the seafood with rice noodle soup. All dishes were a good portion and very tasty. Good amount of meat in all the dishes.

My family and I were very pleased with the service and quality of food.

100% recommend coming here and we will be repeat customers!!

Edit: 3rd visit here and still a great food spot!“

“NOTE: This review is for Hai Thai.

$10.10 lunch special - pad Thai, wonton soup, and a spring roll.

Absolutely marvelous. Definitely found my new go-to Thai place. The portion was so much bigger than I expected, especially for the price point; it took me 9 hours to finish my meal.

The wonton soup tasted brilliant, so nicely completing the rest of the meal. I loved the flavouring of the soup, and the appearance was elegant, as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the wontons that never came apart, and the soup was perfectly flavoured to complement the pad Thai. So amazing

I got a chicken pad Thai that felt loaded with protein. I adore crushed peanuts and, therefore, appreciated the texture balance between the softness of the pad Thai and the crunchiness of the peanuts. Once again, flavourful noodles in a large takeaway container that I would love to order again.

Lastly, the spring roll brought me back to years and years ago when I would savour my Filipino friend's mother's homemade spring rolls. Perfectly crispy on the outside and exploding with flavour on the inside. SO amazing.

I am 100% looking forward to visiting here again. I do highly recommend this place -- it seems like an undiscovered gem in the area. It deserves so much more attention. And for a $10 lunch special??? It's out of question a steal. You'd be daft to not try it out, at the very least.

DEFINITELY pick up more spring rolls, though. SO DELICIOUS. Highkey craving them right now.“

“The food is amazing and we loved the owner he is always great to us when we visit. I highly recommend this if you haven't tried it already!“

“The food tastes amazing, fresh and homemade, and the prices cannot be beat. A big bowl of pho whenever I'm not feeling great, and lemongrass noodle every other day! Always get extra springrolls because those are delicious.“

“Food is very good, timing of meals with a larger party was not ideal, everyone got served at different times, food and beverages.Iit was good food, the broths were very tasty and I would say very decent portions of wontons and meats for the dishes, noodles and stir-fry. Server was very polite, but very quiet, at certain times was difficult to hear over background noises. Was very clean, but decor was out of place, and Atmosphere was just off, not bad at all, but not fitting.“
