The best Vietnamese food in all of Portland, by far! Everything they have is good and fresh. The egg rolls are super hot and crispy, the pho broth is so flavorful. But my absolute favorite dish there is the stir fried tofu with eggs. Unlike anything I've ever had! read more

I ordered way too much food for lunch today. I got the won ton soup, which I thought would be a small appetizer portion, and a banh mi, which I thought would be on the small size. They were both very generous and I could not finish either so I now have leftovers for days lol. The soup was DELICIOUS. I wish I had gotten it by itself. The sandwich was fine, but not great. I prefer a baguette that has a soft inside, but this bread borders on stale. I also got the vietnamese coffee. It was disappointing - although it tastes excellent, the cup was like 70% filled with crushed ice. I still have to give it 4 stars for that soup and excellent service. read more

All the food had great prices and we got it fast. You go up to the front and order food and then they bring it to your table. I got the beef lomein and fried dumplings. The lomien was good, I have had better. The dumplings were great though. They were my favorite. read more

Fabulous yet again. They do 3.5% off if you pay cash! Never too busy. I will need to come back to try their summery dishes next time (vermicelli, spring rolls, etc) read more

Sun Vietnamese Restaurant - Perfect on a cold day - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Maine

After a full day of driving and hiking from the day before, we needed something soupy for lunch and luckily Sun Vietnamese Restaurant was near by and open. We came right when they open and were the 1st customers. The owner greeted us right away, told the owner we wanted to see how the Pho is in Maine compared to California, as well as support local Vietnamese restaurants. As we sat and ate, the restaurant started to get pack with customers dining in as well as take out orders. After eating the food, we can definitely see why. Overall solid Vietnamese food. We would definitely come back and support. Pho Beef $14- the broth was solid, comes with meatballs and slices of beef, the side veggies were also very fresh and clean. overall the pho beef was solid. 4/5 Fried dumpling $6.50- Juicy fillings and crispy, the dipping sauce was like a soy sauce/vinegar taste. solid 4/5 Pork Egg Rolls $5.50- delicious egg roll! crispy, lots of meat and seasoning was good. 5/5 Shrimp Spring rolls $6 - this was probably the worst spring rolls I have ever eaten. low quality shrimp, tasted bland, mostly veggies and vermicelli, 1 shrimp per half. sauce was just basic hoisin sauce.1/5 read more

Very unassuming but delicious. I got a tofu banh mi to go. The interior is not very inviting - pretty cold and sterile - so I think take out is the better option. My banh mi was so tasty - absolutely LOADED with crispy veggies and flavorful fried tofu marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce. So worth it for only $8! read more

Sun Vietnamese Restaurant - Tofu banh mi, no cilantro - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Maine

Haven't been here in many years and stopped by tonight. Everything we ordered were absolutely delicious! Their cold cut ( they call it ham here) was huge and delicious. They pack in the cold cuts here and have not found such a big banh mi nor one that is loaded in filling as here. Their beef pho was flavorful , pipping hot and delicious. Your bowl will have beef steak and slices of beef meatballs here. Absolutely no complaints . I got a wonton soup bowl packed with fresh vegetables, won tons that had chestnut in them so for those who like chestnut and the crunch factor you are all set here. Definitely a delicious meal and I'll be back soon enough. Thank read more

Pretty solid choice for a quick-and-dirty Vietnamese lunch if you're in the area! I wanted to treat myself after a particularly rough dentist appt and Sun Vietnamese was nearby. The intersection that it's located is infamously terrible but you get into the parking lot easy enough and parking itself is no problem. This is a counter service spot with a little bit of seating but I imagine most of their biz is take out. I wanted to chill so I ordered for dine in. There are some photos on the menu to let you know what you're getting into. I ordered some shrimp spring rolls (you can get them vegetarian if you'd like), the steak and egg roll rice noodle bowl, and a Vietnamese coffee. So because this spot is more on the casual side, they make your iced coffee for you (I'm used to being brought a glass of ice, sweetened condensed milk, and fresh espresso to build fresh.) It was still tasty, strong, and sweet, as it should be, over a ton of crushed ice. The spring rolls were super duper fresh, though the peanut sauce was a little thin for my tastes. The beef in the rice noodle bowl was sooo good - glazed with something sweet and savory and oh so tender. The egg rolls were ultra crispy and tasty and a good contrast to the super fresh veggies and rice noodles. I was missing the hoisen and chili oil on the table that I'm used to. I love adding and mixing to my heart's content. But for a fast-casual option in the area, this totally hit the spot. I'd come back to order to go any day! read more

Dining room is a trash hole and it's hot. Everything you'd expect. Broth was hot and flavorful, accoutrements are great and the chili paste had some gasoline in it. read more

Got takeout from here the other day and so glad I did. The service was fast and the restaurant itself is great if you choose to sit inside. I got the chicken bahn mi and the beef/meatball pho. The bahn mi was crispy and packed with stuff! Flavors were so good and the meat inside was amazing. Definitely my favorite bahn mi in Portland so far! The pho was also fantastic. Such a warming and aromatic broth and so many things packed inside. If you're looking for some good pho and bahn mi in town look no further. Highly recommend! read more

Very welcoming place. Everything was super fresh. The pho was amazing, I loved the spring rolls but I wish they had peanut sauce instead of the hoisin+siracha sauce that they gave us. Overall very worth the visit and you won't disappointed! read more

Great place for pho! Usually pretty laid back too. Kinda wish I lived closer! Potstickers are my favorite read more

I've been here before a couple times and usually get a pho, this time I decided to switch it up and get the banh mi and crab rangoons. The crab rangoons were very good but the banh mi bread was super dry and hard. The services is always fast, you order at the front and sit anywhere and they will bring your food to you. The environment here is very laid back and chill with a normal noise level. read more

We had Pho delivered with a few appetizers. The broth was delicious. We loved everything except the steamed dumplings.

I love a good bahn mi and some pho! I appreciate their vegetarian options, as it can be hard to find when it comes to Vietnamese food. Drinks are good, too. Just don't expect it to be quick. I've always needed to wait longer than expected. read more

Absolutely delicious Pho with a generous serving of tender flavorful chicken . So good enough food for 2 meals. The fresh spring rolls are stuffed with fresh veggies. We could not decide between the steamed or fried dumplings so we got both . Personal preference was for the steamed dumplings. Staff was so nice and takeout was ready exactly when they said . Excellent food we will return often read more

Delicious. Beef pho was very good and a very good portion. I ended up taking some home. Was very affordable as well at $13. read more

Sun Vietnamese Restaurant - Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Portland, Maine

11/27/24 Remains the best Vietnamese restaurant I've had the pleasure at which to dine. The pho broth is far superior to any other I've tried. Great service, clean, uptown place. read more

Came across the street that is filled with Vietnamese restaurants and other Asian groceries and wanted to continue my quest of finding my favorite bowl in the greater Portland area. The people working there were friendly and the menu seem to have a lot of popular Vietnamese options. Ordered Beef pho: predominately came with beef, meatballs and flank meat, with bean sprouts and Thai basil, broth was a little bit on the sweet side, but still savory and had good portions Noodle plate had delicious stirfry meat with egg rolls and plenty of veggies. I.e. cabbage, sprouts, carrots, to make a well-rounded meal. read more

I'd really like to give this five stars... but I can't do it just yet. I've been in a few times and I held off on writing a review to see if they improved or were having off days, et cetera. I've found that the soup is quite good. This last visit the broth seemed exceptionally tasty. I think the bowl could use with just a slight more noodles, but considering the price it's okay. What I wish they did differently was slicing the beef thinner. The pho joint 'back home' slices the beef razor thin and let me tell you, it makes a difference! The bahn mi are average in my opinion, but you can find better in the city. The staff is really nice and it has never been crowded when I've gone. Service is quick, but it's a bit more fast-food style. You order at the counter and then they bring it to you when it's ready. Long ago, this was a KFC. Then it became a burger/ice cream joint and I find it charming that they haven't bothered to replace the entrance/exit signs that are still adorned with the old ice cream cone logo. read more

Ordered take out egg rolls and bahn mi and they were delicious!!! Called it in and order was ready in 15 minutes. Friendly service. However, it was hot and humid inside the restaurant, how can someone eat pho inside? But, I'll be back to get more to go orders, maybe a tray of egg rolls next time, it's that good and inexpensive. read more

It took a loooong time to get our food but it was excellent. I loved my Banh Mi, and my dumplings were ridiculous. Even though it took awhile it was obvious the staff had good intentions. read more

I really like Sun Vietnamese Restaurant! My family is from Vietnam so I would have to say my standards are pretty high. My parents also like it here too. Their Vietnamese coffee is delicious and their pho is good! Their pho has a lot of garlic, I love garlic so it's right up my alley. The price is very reasonable too! They are very accommodating. I ordered something to go for 12 people and they put everything in a box so the soups wouldn't spill. It was very thoughtful. 10/10 would recommend and I am definitely going back! read more

Amazing food, love their Pad Thai and Vermicelli, lots of options nice staff, great service, and well priced! (typically $20 for a meal enough for leftovers and a drink) Helpful staff have accommodated for higher and lower spiciness levels like when I've visited with young family, or wanted extra high spiciness. Well kept inside and always welcoming staff. Also been fun when we get receipts, they note what the person / people look like so waiting staff can find you, highlights have been, 'Purple sweater girl', and 'Toddler, and headband mom' Always looking forward to visit and order when in Portland! read more

So good! Pho broth is so flavorful and rich. Beef is with both the thin steak and meatball, chicken seems to be rotisserie-style both have large portions. Beef Bahn MI was delicious.

It's my favorite Pho in the Portland areas. Some will argue that it's a bit oily but I prefer my broth w a little more fat content. Sleeper suggestion is the wonton soup. read more

Definitely one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Portland, Maine. I was lucky enough to visit Vietnam and spent a bit over two weeks there. Landed in Saigon/Ho Chi Min city and ended in Hanoi so was able to try many different styles of pho. I love the pho at Sun Vietnamese! Excellent every time I visit there - from chicken pho to the loaded meat variety and their portions are very generous and broths so delicious. Also their traditional meat banh mi is excellent - love their baguette! Their rice dishes and various fresh spring rolls are all very good. I'm pretty regular there since their opening and plan on being there for as long as they are open. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Vietnamese food in Portland. Ambiance is average because years ago it was a KFC, but who really cares when the food is so good! Service is always very prompt. read more

This is a small family run little shop -- the beef pho broth was amazing, some of the best I've had! Everyone was kind and very willing to serve us even though we didn't end up making it there til 7:50. I'd go back again for sure if I was a local! read more

At first my impression of this establishment was not going well, little to no parking made worse by the snow, no music or background sound except the sound of the microwave. Beyond that the quality and quantity of their Pho' was great. It was however greasy (?). There was a thin slick of oil on my soup which I have never encountered with Pho before. Only thing missing was the hot chili sauce I needed for the heat to kill this cold. Thankful that has some left over from another meal. Would use as my second choice for convince but will stay with my #1 down the street. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

This spot is located inside what looks to be an old fast food chain. It's an unassuming restaurant on a busy street. We walked in to find a very clean and bright restaurant offering some of our favorite Vietnamese dishes. We ordered for a family of 5. Dumplings, Chicken curry, chicken pho, shrimp vermicelli. We were blown away at the very first bites. We've tried many Vietnamese restaurants in New England and this is now our favorite. The shrimp seasoning was stellar, the pho broth divine, curry was perfectly balanced. Please give this place a try. read more
