16 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near El Sobrante

“Been here a few times, and each time the food has been great. I've tried their beef banh mi, egg rolls, spring rolls, calamari, chicken wings bun Bo hue and of course their pho. All have been pretty good, especially considering this is the ONLY local pho place that doesn't close super early when you need something warm and comforting after work. Notable highlights from the food- I must say, I've sampled some bun Bo hue all over the local area and this place is the best I've had without having to go all the way to Oakland. And even then, it's been just as good as some of the "famous" spots for bun Bo hue. The pho is always piping hot and they don't skimp on the meat!! They seem to hold the bowls in some kind of clay holder that keeps the soup warmer longer, which was a nice touch I've never experienced in a Vietnamese restaurant. Service, this is definitely a family restaurant of sorts and the waitresses/waiters are a little older and may need to be graced with some patience when you want to get their attention. But once you have it they're the absolute sweetest! Very kind and welcoming crew. The restaurant itself is nice and spacious with a few tvs to keep a single patron company while they wait for their meal, which never takes too long. All in all, this is a great stop to make when you don't want to travel too far for some good comforting food. I definitely plan on being a regular here!“

“Yummmmmmmmmmm!Vegetarian options: Almost any plate you can order without meat!Dietary restrictions: Make sure you communicate with your server!Parking: It's all street parking and since it's a busy street, their's always lots of vehicles parked, make time to get parking!Kid-friendliness: It's more of a family business so yes, it'd kid-friendly!Wheelchair accessibility: I didn't notice any accessible entrance for a wheelchair!“

“Did't realize that this place was pretty much only takeout. There was one table inside, but it seemed that an employee was sitting there, althought unclear why when we would have welcomed the seat. Also, it was a bit odd that for spicy noodles (pho), it was $2 extra. Seems a bit steep. Prices are okay, but a bit on the higher side for amount of food you'll get. I do think it is good to support small businesses in Oakland and for that, I would come again. No photos yet, since it was takout and those don't look as nice to do photos of.“

“I’ve only tried the chicken bahn mi and their Thai iced tea. Both very yummy and I recommend the bahn mi.. but I have an issue with how much ice they give you in the Thai iced tea. You basically only get a half cup of the tea. I will show a picture of what the cup looks like with ice taken out. And this is after I asked for less ice.“

“We have ordered takeout a few times, and find the food delicious and the prices good. And our dinner guests agree. The egg rolls are light and crispy, and packed carefully to stay that way. Everything was packed well in fact. I ordered the Korean style beef short ribs and was pleasantly surprised to see the portion was large. Enjoyed it. Shredded pork skin was part of the marinated charbroiled pork dish, interesting but a little bland compared to everything else. My husband enjoyed the baked egg cake that accompanied the pork and thought the pork's seasoning was delicious.“

“This our go-to spot for pho. My usual is number 26- the seafood pho with rice noodles. I haven't tried anything else from here. It's a busy place but it moves pretty quickly.Parking: The parking lot is small and shared with the Plaza it's located in. We normally find parking there or nearby on the street.Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible and spacious to accommodate.“

“I'm not a huge Pho fan but this spot changed my mind! I ordered the lunch special for $13. Well done thin steak pho with egg noodle instead of rice noodle that came with two veggie spring roll. The bowl came out super hot, very fresh tasting, clean tasting meat and the broth was extra flavorful! Not bland at all!! Definitely recommend to all friends and families!!!“

“You want hole in the wall with zero ambience but great food at excellent prices? This be your strip mall find. I can't say it's the best Banh mi ever. The bread is just not the perfect crunchy chewy and flavor needs just a bit more of a kick. But it's a hella good banh mi for the price and hits the spot. They don't take credit cards so be prepared with grubby cash. The other prepared items were yummier than the banh mi so I might just go for a salad or spring roll next time. Anyway, definitely worth it when you're hungry.“

“Food is delicious and prices are reasonable. But BE WARNED that the website for this restaurant is maintained by a third party (Simplemenu) that adds 15-20% to the price for each menu item for pickup and delivery orders. This upcharge is not separately identified or disclosed on the website. I pointed out this issue when picking up my online order. The cashier shrugged, was aware of the price difference, and explained that they don't run their own website. Try calling instead to get the actual menu price - although it's very hard to get anyone to answer the phone.“

“We came here for dinner and had a good experience. We ordered a Thai iced tea, special combo beef noodle soup, spicy beef noodle soup, and dry stir fried beef chow fun. Everything was delicious, and the service was quick and attentive. The prices are reasonable and the portions are large. Overall a good experience!“

“Surprisingly good Pho! This is my go to spot for me and my friends/boyfriend/family if we want good pho and don't want to go far. Probably one of the better restaurants in Pinole in general.Their rice plates are okay but the Pho is much better and what we go for. I also like their fried shrimp rolls!“

“I was feeling kind of sick and really craving some pho and this was the only place near campus, I’m so glad I went! The pho here is really delicious I came back the next day to get more. I’ve never been a big fan of pho but this was game changing. The workers entertained my different questions about the various dishes and checked in with me to make sure I like it. Highly recommend :)“

“My favorite Pho spot in Vallejo! The broth is amazing, the owner/chef explained to us the process and the quality ingredients he puts into his food and we've been hooked ever since! The ice milk coffee that aunty there makes is the best, grandma makes the Banh Mi sandwiches, and the spicy garlic chicken wings are Addicting! The eggrolls are consistently good too, can't go wrong here, I stop by weekly! You won't be disappointed“

“The last home of affordable high-quality food in Berkeley! I love the chicken banh mi, and get it over and over. Has a bit of kick from jalapenos and a ton of cilantro, so omit those or ask for less if they aren't your thing. Tried their pho recently and it was really good. There are nice outdoor tables, and eating a big bowl of pho in the greenery and fresh air was lovely.“

“Came here with my bf to eat before shopping at 99 Ranch. We ordered egg rolls for the appetizer. I got the rare steak & tripe beef soup w/ shrimp. BOMB!! My bf got pork rice plate which he also finished. I was so hungry I didn't get any pics :( Price is good and the food is really good too. I would recommend to try it. We'll be back.“

“Yes! Yes! Yes!Mouthwatering flavors and beautifully sweetened Thai tea. Every dish I ordered was made to perfection and the flavors were orgasmically on point.I am absolutely coming back to try more dishes.Charming little location with a unique exterior esthetic and they have a private parking lot. Worth a visit!“
