50 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Mill Valley

“There is something magical about fresh warm bread and cold picked vegetables. I got teriyaki chicken which was delicious. Also tried the bbq pork which was pretty good. Unlike some bahn mi places they didn't overdo the sauces. Will be back! It's a perfect meal after a hike.“

“I think I ate every“ wow that’s great banhmi! “ spot around lately and ;Pork banhmi = warm bread , well seasoned! ? I would put just little bit of more veggies to balance the meat and veggie ratio or add chunky peanut sauce which makes a perfect bite to swallow in every time.Egg rolls are served warm and I like that the fish sauce has the right density& salt.Ps. Don’t forget to watch rolling the king roll 101 video that I haven’t record yet lol -(yes pretty much joint rolling but better)“

“Everything we ordered was good. In fact we couldn’t eat it all. Your pizza was so delish! Never had chow fun wrapped up in little rolls but it was pretty good. Your shaking beef salad was good too. Definitely a dining experience in Asian fusion!“

“Their sandwiches are cheap , delicious , and fulfilling. For only a couple dollars each I suggest you get a couple sandwiches because you're definitely going to want one for later . The pork sandwiches are the because but the chicken is very good too. Do your self a favor and get one of each“

“Incredible food, everything on the menu was delicious and unique. I could eat the prawns all day and the crab fried rice was next level. My coworker ordered a little bit of everything and there wasn't a single thing that we had that I didn't love. I don't often give places 5 star reviews but this one is worth it, the only downside is maybe it's a little pricey but come here with a big group and split a bunch of plates and you will walk away full and for less than a fancy tasting menu. Also, apparently the $90 tasting menu is really good, so I'll be back again to try that :)“

“By their own standards, this place is doing a good job. I found it a little overbearing, but I'll admit, part of what comforts me about Vietnamese restaurants is being left alone. I was not. I was even given instructions about how to order next time! One person working there seemed concerned I ate only half my bun bo hue, but I truly ate all I could and then some, it was just a lot for me. I think $20 is a lot for pho, but I was fine with that, as I was expecting it. I do wish the bun bo hue came with a pork hock, but the broth and the beef were so refined, that is not a complaint. More pork blood would be nice... but, I think they have perfected what it is that they do, which is all I ever want, personally.Would go back. They seem to foster loyalty; I can see why. They're very welcoming, and the food is comforting, as someone who grew up on SFV phoGot bun bo hue because it looked like everyone else did. Was happy with that choice. All the food looked pretty good.“

“Alright here me out, the food here is great. Super flavorful and it is worth it. However, shall we talk about the service? It was wrong in so many level it is almost a joke. However, as many people said, if you were treated poorly by the servers, you knew the food is legit. I would be back again for the food, and strictly for the food.“

“We had their Pho Ga, a comforting chicken soup with flat rice noodles, and the Bun Bo Hue, a Central Vietnamese-style beef soup enriched with pork and thin rice noodles.Feeling a bit under the weather, the Pho Ga worked wonders in soothing my body. Generously accompanied by the fresh veggies, as shown in the photo,Pro tip: Be prepared with cash, as it's the only form of payment accepted."“

“My favorite Vietnamese restaurant for 30+ years. I have eaten almost everyrhing on their menu and it's all consistently good every time. Some of my favorites include five spice chicken, vermicelli cold noodles with grilled pork & imperial roll, vegetable crepe with shrimp, Joel's classic chow mein made with pan fried noodles, curry chicken, the claypot special, beef stew noodle soup, pho noodles, the sautéed string beans, and their perfect iced Vietnamese coffee. Be patient with the servers as they are busy here. It's basically a family run business that I like to support for their good food.“

“Excellent food and service at this Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant in the Sunset area. We shared a set menu of Roasted Dungeness Crab that came with a small but delicious Cabbage Chicken Salad (Goi Ga), Imperial Rolls (Cha Gio), and buttery Garlic Fried Noodles. The Fried Chicken Wings were crispy but on the sweet side. The food came out promptly and our waitress was friendly and checked on us frequently. Prices were on par with other similar SF establishments. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant was full on a rainy weeknight when we were thefe. Parking was rather hard to find, so give yourself time, or better yet, don't drive!“

“We came here on New Years Day and they were packed as you would expect. They were very kind and accommodated our 6 person table as quickly as they could. For such a casual eatery the food is immaculate. Nothing I've eaten here as disappointed on portion or flavor. Their Tom yum noodles with crispy chicken are something I craze frequently. Their Garlic Noodles are so flavorful! I have been back and will continue coming back here!“

“Cheap and fast, literally no frills! Love the cold cut and fish banh mi. The veggies are super fresh and crunchy and the sauce is the perfect amount. Used to come here a lot after yoga across the street, would just go in with my order and sun tan outside while I wait.“

“The barbecue pork with rice noodle and the ban xheo are very good.Just a small downside for the egg rolls. Inside it looks like a puree, maybe the mixed mushrooms, an unusual texture that doesn't excite me that much.Otherwise very friendly service, ordinary place, but we don't go there for that.“

“Really enjoyed the bbq pork and combination sandwiches. After trying 5 banh mi restaurants in SF this is my favorite and will definitely return. The meat was tender, mayo portion was on point, and the pickled veggies were nicely tangy.Dietary restrictions: Good vegetarian options“

“If you find yourself looking for a breakfast/brunch spot, come here! My dad has been coming here for awhile and I was in town visiting him so we we went to grab some brunch. Located just a little ways from fisherman's wharf it's a quick walk to get here. Ambiance and service: We were greeted by David the owner and his son Darren and chose to sit inside. They've got some seating inside and some outside for when the weather is nice. Everything is nice and clean and you can see into the kitchen so you know the food is made fresh to order. Our order was taken quickly and food came out quickly! Food: Their menu ranges from classic American breakfast, Chinese and Vietnamese food, and sandwiches. I ordered pho and a Vietnamese coffee and my dad ordered french toast with eggs and bacon. I've had a lot of pho in different parts of the US so I'm picky about my pho and this is hands down one of the most flavorful pho broths I've ever had. Good size portion with all the regular pho fixings. My dad always orders one of two things: french toast or chicken fried steak and according to him, both are delicious but I had the pleasure of of trying the french toast this time. It was cooked to perfection and not overdone in the batter or flavors. Overall, I'm glad I got to eat here. From the service, to the food, I enjoyed every bit of it. I can't wait to bring friends here and enjoy more meals with my dad!“

“Thought I had reviewed this long ago because this is our go-to Vietnamese place in the city! The food is consistently good and the family that runs it is just absolutely wonderful. We've been coming here maybe at least once a month since 2020 and we're still not tired of it. Anytime we come back from a hiking trip or travel, our first meal home is here. I'm vegetarian and the owners are mostly vegetarian too! It explains why their vegetarian Bún bò Huế is sooo good. It's spicy, it has this delicious, complex umami broth, there are always tons of fresh vegetables (still crunchy and sweet), and I love the amount of variety in tofu and soy protein they put in! A lot of places serving veggie pho and the like are petty lazy and just cut up some soft tofu slices at most, but at Thanh Thanh, they give you fried bean curd strips, fried tofu slices, some soy beef slices, faux shrimp...etc. This is one of the only places I've been as a vegetarian where I didn't feel like my food is second class or an afterthought. My husband likes getting their beef combo pho and also their BBH. Their banh mi is also delicious! French bread is always soft and warm on the inside, but nice crisp crust when you bite in. Pickled veggies are done right, and they pack it with your preferred filling (veggie ham or curry tofu for me). We also like the Vietnamese coffee a lot. The restaurant is pretty no-frills, just really simple, and why do you need more? The food is good, the people are wonderful, and you feel like you're eating with family. Prices have increased by $5 on average per dish since 2020, but we are more than happy to support this business as long as we can. I'll remember to take more photos next time and not immediately devour everything lol.“

“Pho 2000 is a cute restaurant with two floors with kind and efficient service. I ordered pho dac biet (#1) small size and Thai iced tea. They also provide with hot tea when you first sit. The pho was okay. Everything was fine except that the broth wasn’t as strong as I wanted it to be. It was very mild which made it kind of hard to taste. I had to mix a bit of hoisin sauce into the broth to be able to taste it. The noodles were kind of overcooked and there wasn’t as much meat as I thought there would be. The Thai tea was delicious! Strong, sweet, and refreshing just how I like it. I had received both items in less than 10 minutes. This restaurant is a great lunch spot!“

“I reviewed on Yelp years ago, but Perilla's deserves the stars here. By far, they have the most succulent and best tasting 5 Spice Chicken that I've tried in the city. The meat is so juicy and tender and the skin makes it reminiscent of roasted duck. There's something about their simple presentation on the plate that also makes it great. I cannot recommend trying their garlic noodles enough. A wonderful garlic-to-butter ratio, and while you're at it, get the plate with the imperial rolls. A satisfying and delicious crunch. Even the broccoli is steamed to perfection. The sauce they give you is brothy, not syrupy, which is a nice change of pace. So many things going right, here.Everything I've tried here is so good and satisfying. Their service is super friendly and attentive. Definitely give this place a try if in the mood for Vietnamese and in the area.“

“Very tasty! Breakfast with grab and go option. The place is quite small, so there is not much space to eat in the establishment. The food is good, cheap and comes out quickly! We grabbed a bagel, a blueberry muffin, a cappuccino and a hot chocolate and went to eat at Union “

“It's quite busy here. The service is fast but you can order online in advance.Lemongrass chicken vermicelli (bun ga xa) was flavorful with sweet fish sauce.Turmeric catfish (cha ca la vong) was ok, not a lot of fish. It normally comes with fermented shrimp paste, which I believe is smelly so I ordered it with fish sauce instead.“

“The best Vietnamese food in the Bay Area! Prices are excellent. Get the Number 5 to sample everything. I would come here at least one a week if I lived nearby! Order to go if you don’t want to sit in the tiny 10-person space. The food is worth it!“

“Omg this is the best pho - B1 Rare beef pho for only $15! Good Thai iced tea and A3 shrimp cakes for a side. I am so glad I found Pho Tao today. Definitely coming back with friends. It’s such a joy to find good Asian noodle soup in Marin, which is a rarity. Takeout or eat-in. Nice interior for dining in or a comfy outdoor patio with umbrellas. I like the wallpaper!Vegetarian options: Easily marked as vegetarian like item - C6 Vegetarian Noodle Soup.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly place. There were families eating there when I went.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access by ramp from the parking lot“

“I wanted to go to Haiji Noodle House with my parents during the Spring Festival.Helpless shopkeepers take a breakWent to this place instead.Tastes as delicious as everWe ordered the signature powder and Vietnamese coffeevery satisfiedRice noodle soup is piping hot and deliciousThe rice noodles are not ordinary rice noodlesVery soft and waxy but with a bit of toughnessThe beef offal is cooked very lazily and is also suitable for the elderlyThe coffee is classic black coffee with coconut milk“

“Very authentic, great food and pho, friendly service! I spent 1 month travelling in Vietnam a few years ago and this food is awesome! I had the pho tai and spring rolls, both excellent! The family vibe is really cool too, I enjoyed watching the TV with grandma, seriously!“

“Remember the grade school taunt, "If you love something, why don't you marry it?" I totally want to marry this sandwich. In fact, I want to commit polygamy. These sandwiches are THAT amazing. The pork belly sandwich has these crispy nubs of deep fried pork skin, thoughtfully diced so that your teeth don't struggle, scattered on top of the filling of the most tender slices of pork belly imaginable. And the Le Dip? Don't get me started. The sirloin is perfectly cooked and shaved so thin that you get the mille feuille effect (Have you ever had mille feuille tonkatsu? Yeah, it's like that). The horseradish sauce is bracing, not overwhelming. And the sandwich fillings are nestled in this special Vietnamese baguette which is unlike a French baguette. It has a glassine crust that shatters the moment your teeth make contact and gives way to a pillowy interior. Eating this sandwich is the type of experience that makes you melancholy the closer you are to the end because you don't want the experience to come to an end.“

“My daughter went vegan a few months ago and until today had mostly been sticking to the plant-based offerings at already familiar restaurants. I guess she suddenly realized that she can't live on vegetable sushi rolls, falafel wraps, and tofu ramen bowls forever, though, because she asked if we could try delivery from Golden Era. Of course we had to order the most popular dish on the menu: The lemongrass deluxe. This was by far our favorite of the three items we ordered. Next time we'll get one order each so that we don't have to fight over it. It featured thin pieces of soy "chicken" fried with a crispy, spicy coating. If you like the chewiest, crispiest pieces of orange or sesame chicken you will love this dish. I thought it would need some steamed rice but it came on a substantial bed of vegetables and was a complete dish on its own. We also ordered the garden vermicelli, which is their version of Vietnamese bun. It had all the flavors we were expecting - tart, savory, sweet - with slices of a soy protein that reminded me a lot of beef, both in flavor and texture (not visible in my photo). Their meat substitutes are so impressive. Finally, we had the Thai fried rice. I liked that the grains had a slightly chewy texture. It was a simple and tasty version of this dish. We are excited now to try everything else they have. It's a big relief to my daughter to be able to order freely without wondering if a dish has a surprise non-vegan ingredient. Here we can work our way from the top of the menu to the bottom with abandon. We will enjoy the delicious challenge!“

“The warmth of the sweetest lady behind the counter greets you every time! From the first sip of their rich coffee to the last bite of their delectable sandwiches, every visit is a treat for the senses. It's no wonder I find myself here almost every Monday to Friday, drawn in by the irresistible charm and unbeatable quality. This place is truly a pillar in SF, and I'm endlessly thankful for its presence in my daily routine“

“My go to place for Banh mi and noodle soups. I order from here at least twice a week. They are always nice and friendly. Even if they are busy they still knowledge me. My favorite is the meatball sandwich add Cha Lua. The bread is always crispy. The noodles soup is filling and doesn’t make me sleepy like from other places.“

“my all time favorite pho place. oh my god. there might be a brief wait but it’s worth it. the space is usually very full but not loud enough where you can’t hear the people with you. good for friends/dates/family, honestly whoever. the service is very quick and efficient - don’t be offended if there’s not much fanfare. my boyfriend always gets a meat plate and it’s delicious. i’ve only ever tried the pho and will always come back for more.“

“I stopped by for takeout after a visit to the nearby medical building. Very convenient with no crowd to fight with. I ordered the pork belly bahn mi which was indeed delicious. It was a good authentic representatation of a modern bahn mi, but the star of the show was their Vietnamese chicken soup. Similar to Arroz Caldo (Filipino chicken soup) I actually enjoyed this version much more (and I am Filipino LOL). Yes, I would hella come back just for this! Highly recommended low key spot.“

“This place is one of the best noodle place in San Francisco. I usually order #7 thin or thick with separate soup. The hot soya milk is very good.The service is fast and the owner is very friendly. I eat here for almost 15 years.Parking: Very hard to find a parking.“

“I used to go to Pho 2000 right down the street but after discovering this gem, I’m never going to pho2000 again! The pho is better! The broth is better! The noodles are better! The service and the restaurant all over is a 10 out of 10!! I’m an original Frisco foodie(i grew up here) and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!“

“We've eaten here a few years back, but this is the first time leaving a review. We wanted something a little different and not just pho, so we opted for this spot. We got there around noon and there were a a bunch of empty tables. Most of the booth tables were taken though. Just so you know, they give complimentary soy milk served hot or cold, but you have to ask for it. I think only old timers/regulars know about this. My bf got a hot soy milk and I chose hot tea. We both ordered noodle soup. #3. NG HIEP KY WONTON HO FUN SOUP: Flavorful soup with seafood, liver and wonton dumplings with medium flat rice noodles. The noodles are not the typical Chinese ho fun that is really wide. It's like linguini sized rice noodles. They give an average amount, but good enough to fill you. I don't care for liver, so I didn't eat it. But everything else was good! They also have a shrimp on top that's been fried with batter. I grabbed that first since I'd rather have it crispy than soggy. 4/5 #12. BRAISED DUCK LEG HO FUN AND EGG NOODLE SOUP: BF had this and enjoyed it. Tasty duck and having both kinds of noodles bring an interesting taste and texture. Not many places have this dish or in this area of SF. 4/5 All around a decent spot for a quick lunch!“

“We celebrated my brother’s 78th birthday by taking him to An Chi! The staff was so kind and made us feel very welcomed. The broths and sauces were so delicious. We shared everything and it was outstanding food. Such a charming and clean environment.Go there!“

“Such great food and people. We were hungry driving around looking for that magical parking spot next to an acceptable eating spot bingo! We found it all at Gai. Unsure of what kinda of cuisine I said take the chance they’ve got a chicken on the sign so it’s actually food. And boy was it good. Delicious. Freshly prepared Asian Thai or Vietnamese food. I got the Original Chicken Rice bowl with side of broccali. My friend got the salad with Tofu. Both great. He sauces are fresh and flavorful. One is quite hot which I love. I recommend it. And as we sat there from 1:30 pm to 2:30, there were multiple to go orders being picked up. I think there were about 5 orders at a time rotating. Fresh Fast Full of Flavor. We hit the jackpot!“

“Had the grilled pork banh mi:the pork was grilled very well, with a great fat to muscle ratio.The vegetables were crunchy, fresh and had a great quick pickleThe bread had a crispy outer shell and soft inside. You get all the crunch and none of the torn roof-of-mouth actionFor $10, this was a steal. Definitely trying their bun cha next time“

“Needed a quick lunch while exploring Hayes Valley and decided to try this spot. Placed an order online and by the time we walked over it was basically ready for pick up. I got the roast duck banh mi and my boyfriend got the chicken banh mi. The roast duck was amazing, super flavorful and they did not skimp on the fillings! The pickled veggies and jalapeños complimented the meat perfectly. The chicken one was also good but I think the duck was a lot better! There isn't a ton of seating and it's definitely more of a grab and go option. There are several locations too so just make sure you're ordering at the right one.“

“Food was good, location is also good, away from city center and much quieter but still accessible on Geary St in Richmond district. Took 1 ⭐️ off because it was very cold inside, colder than outside and it was a very nice sunny day for spring, even with our jackets on we were cold. We still wolfed down the crab ? was scrumptious.“

“Tu Lan has been our favorite SF food since I first came here in 1995. Same family runs things, works hard and produces consistently delicious food all these years. It is definitely a "special" place, and you have to be OK with the local flavor as you approach the restaurant. But you will be rewarded with authentic Viet fast delicious food. Totally worth eating here!“

“We went to this place by chance because it was in front of our hotel in the marina neighborhood.We got an excellent surprise. Everything was delicious, we ordered pho and it was very tasty.The price was reasonable and the service was very good.Highly recommended!!“

“I've been coming to this little hole in the wall for over 20 years now. If you like Vietnamese food you'll be happy. Their rice plate specials at lunchtime feature a little of soup that is so delicious and I dream about it. Friendly service too!“

“great original refreshing drinks that you can control the sugar level of. (i often order a bunch of drinks for dessert after family meals) good pandan waffles most importantly, they are the only place in SF with kickass durian shakes only thing is i hate waiting until they open at noon on the weekends. (11am would be perfect - i'm insanely thirsty after class ends at 11am and hate killing an hour of my saturday until they open) if you have coffee on your menu, open up before noon“

“Best service and congeniality! Loved our crispy tofu bun mee sandwich!!!! perfection! This is a MUST EAT spot on the Filmore or when flying out or into sfo. Thank you again for your service and delicious over the top food-dont forget the crispy sweet potato fries! Yum.“

“Underrated coworking/remote working spot near Market Street & Castro! Super inexpensive prices (CASH ONLY), good Wi-Fi, and lots of outlets! I cannot rave enough about the cute & cozy space of this cafe! The dark ambiance gives the feel of a different era and it feels as someone really cared for the decor here. There may not be too much seating but the space itself is large. There is also some outdoor seating. I also cannot rave enough about their BATHROOM. I was just so impressed by how clean & modern of a space it was and everything was run by smart technology (you can download an APP TO LOCK IT). I usually don't care much about public bathrooms but I actually think it is a great asset to this cafe. I have only tried their bagels and love the price of everything you can add! The one person manning the shop was incredibly helpful, kind, and quick! Location is very accessible via public transit since it's near Market St but still feels like a hidden secret spot. Have never driven a car here since parking is always a little difficult. I really enjoy coming here & will continue to support!“

“Absolute best bun rieu in the city- $13 for a huge bowl and way bigger portions. Super generous with the crab meatballs and their soup has a lot of depth. Banh mi's are amazing too!! Owners are friendly and kind- thank you hello sandwich & noodle, we appreciate you :)“

“4 stars for the 5 spice chicken banh mi. It's tasty, albeit a little salty. Overall, the sandwich is fresh. The first time I came in, I asked what the most popular sandwich was, to which I learned was pork. Not surprising. I'm assuming that is more traditional? That's what I ended up ordering, and quite frankly wasn't blown away by. Found the pork a little...rough. The price of the sandwich is reasonable. The service is fast.“

“Great little area, food is super good, soup base needed nothing. I was gonna add in the sirracha, but I tasted the soup. Mind Blown. Perfect as is .There are huge portions, and I couldn't finish it all. Maybe because I drank all the soup.Would like to see paintings or even hear a TV in the background, the sound of the overhead lights humming is kinda wierd.“

“Best damn banh mi sandwiches on the planet. The first time here I ordered the grilled pork banh mi. it was utterly Amazing! The pork was seasoned perfectly, and grilled just right. The vegetables were fresh and crisp. The sauce had a perfect zing. The bread was perfectly toasted. I spent the next few days sleepless, wondering what all the other flavors would taste like..... 3 days later, I went back. my curiosity got the best of me this time I ordered two grilled pork banh mi, one spicy tuna banh mi, and one shaking beef banh mi. Why so many sandwiches? Might you ask.....because I had to. There was no questioning about it..... I began by indulging into the first grilled pork, just to revisit my youth when I first tried it... and there I was, instantly feeling 3 days younger. It was like I found a fountain of youth! It was amazing! I gave myself a few minutes rest before I tried the next one. So you wonder which one I went with next huh? Of course the spicy tuna. The ice cold tuna salad, the demonic spice of the sauce and jalapeños, the perfectly toasted bread the perfect combination to create heaven and hell in my mouth all at one time. I truly had an out of body experience. Once again, I gave myself a few minutes before I tried the shaking beef banh mi. There are not enough adjectives in the dictionary to explain this sandwich. You will just have to experience for yourself. Don't get me wrong, I did finish off that last grilled pork banh mi for old times sake...... I am definitely going back to try some more.“

“We were looking for a place to grab lunch on our way home. Found this shop - ordered online and popped in to pick it up. We both got the fried chicken sandwich. It was delicious (and huge). We could have split one but now we'll have another for when we get home. The bread was fresh and crunchy, as were the vegetables. The chicken had a great spicy sauce on it. They had some fun potato chip options too (I had basil chips). The order was ready quickly and the person who helped me was very nice. We would definitely come back!“
