    My fiancé and I were craving something soupy after a long day so we decided to try Viet Noms. The service was super quick, and the servers were very kind. I really liked the booth seating inside the restaurant. It was also very clean. Next to a lot of other businesses but still a lot of parking in the lot. The noodles were $15 for regular, $17 for large. I got the Pho Bo, which you get 3 meats of your choice which is what caught my attention because I usually only eat specific cuts. I opted for a large, got tripe, beef balls and tai (rare steak) and would say that the noodles to meat ratio was tremendously uneven. There were 4 half/2 whole meatballs, 5 half/2.5 whole slices of rare steak, and maybe 5 slices of tripe. The broth is served super hot, which could both good and bad, bad because the rare steak gets overcooked super fast so I'd recommend to skip the rare steak as it's gets tough when it's overcooked. The broth was just ok, not flavorful enough to want a sip with every bite and certainly not enough for me to want to drink soup after finishing everything else. My fiancé got the BBH and said it was just ok. He was not a fan and rated it a 3/5 as well. Not sure that we'd have Viet Noms again, considering there are better options out there but it was worth a try.

    Shredded Chicken Salad
    Mara K.

    Delicious food. The chicken salad was a balance of flavors and texture, I liked that it had a little crunch. The Banh Khot was scrumptious with its crispy edges and soft center! The seafood pho was loaded with shrimp, calamari, and fish balls in a light, aromatic broth that didn't skimp on flavor. The vibe of the place is casual but cute, and service was quick and friendly. Great for a chill lunch or a dinner with friends. If you're looking for bold flavors, affordable eats, and a refreshing take on Vietnamese classics -- this is the spot!

    We were looking for somewhere different to eat while in town shopping at the outlets. We were craving bhan mi. We yelped a few places and took a chance on this restaurant. Wow! My daughter loved their pork bhan mi! She said the flavor of the meat itself was delicious! And the bread, crispy and soft! I opted for the chicken bun. The grillled chicken had a good smoky, grilled flavor. The noodles and veggies were fresh and yummy! The service was spot on! Constantly making sure we had everything we need. The restaurant itself was a good size, clean and you can tell they keep it maintained pretty well! We're looking forward to coming back the next time we're in town to try their pho! Stay tuned!

    Very tasty pho and ample servings. I always get large and it can be shared by two people. The salad roll with shrimp is a little dry though.

    This restaurant has lovely service. Never have i ever had a bad experience. Food is always top tier. Desserts are yummy. Their Thai Iced tea is so delicious i wish we could order pitchers of it lol. Highly recommend. Everything is fairly priced too.

    Com suong nuong -Pork chops w/ rice
    Angela W.

    Nice clean place. Banh Khot - good but the batter is literally Banh Xeo batter, imo. Thit Nuong cuon - ok. No mints/herbs whatsoever. V food is all about the mints/herbs. Com suong nuong - ok. Steamed egg loaf is on the dry side.

    Bun rieu
    Michelle Z.

    Been wanting to try Viet Noms so we decided to stop by after dropping off some items to the Goodwill next door. There is a large parking lot but it's shared with multiple businesses so you may need to park a bit further and walk. I had to circle around a few times to find a spot. Restaurant was busy and we got seated right away. I ordered the bun rieu (tomato crab noodle soup with prawns) and the banh khot (mini kettle cakes). The presentation was beautiful and it was a good amount of food. Banh khot - 4/5 super crispy edges and I really liked the chewy texture in the middle. I couldn't really taste the scallion oil though Bun rieu - 3.5/5 crab & pork broth was bland and there were only two pieces of the crab/pork dumplings so that was a bit disappointing. I've had a better version of this in Pleasanton

    Grilled Pork Bun
    Lawrence N.

    Food portions were generous and looks appetizing. Got the chicken salad Goi Ga which was huge! Crispy and refreshing, chicken was moist 4/5. Bun Bo Hue was also huge and generous. Doesn't have pork blood in it and the sliced beef was so tender it broke apart once it hit the teeth. The soup flavor was basic with nothing standing out saying yes this hits the spot. 3/5. Service was on point, always checked in on us, made sure we had water topped. Also got the Bun pork vermicelli bowl. The charr flavor was sensational in the noodles and the pork. It was missing the honey glaze to give it that extra shine or sweetness 3/5. I think all the dishes have potential to be exceptional. Every dish seemed like it was missing some flavor.

    Livermore doesn't have a lot of pho options. This place is more consistent compared to the other places in town. The brisket was a little chewy ans the broth was darker than anticipated for being a viet restaurant. Thai ice tea is eh. It had a powdery taste for some reason, and tea wasn't black/caffeinated enough. Pro: dining inside was clean. Con: no chili oil, unless you ask for it. They also don't have pickled jalapeños you'd normally find in a viet place.

The rice with egg really complimented the chicken as well. Good flavors and not overwhelming. Highly recommend Pad kee mao: good traditional flavors. It comes mild, so didn't have much of a kick.

Not the best I've had, but overall good I would definitely come back to try more dishes. Just the chicken omurice alone is enough to bring me back!

We started strong with the truffle tots: crispy, well-seasoned, and topped with Parmesan. The sauce? Genuinely great. No notes there. The chicken omurice was also a win! flavorful, comforting, and exactly what you'd hope for. My daughter's "bear in a blanket" dish was almost too cute to eat, and our server kindly offered complimentary mini pancakes for my toddler (which we didn't even know was a thing). They were adorable and surprisingly good, even without syrup. I also ordered the cloud matcha, which was delicious. Now... the duck Benedict. I'm saving it for last for a reason and not a good one. It was, unfortunately, a complete miss. It lacked flavor in a way that was almost impressive. Like... aggressively bland. The spinach and tomato completely overpowered the duck, and even tasting the duck on its own didn't help. It was giving absolutely nothing. Nothing. I'd honestly suggest pulling it from the menu until improvements can be made. Overall, I'd return for everything except the duck Benedict. Hard pass on that one.

The skin is thin and tender, never doughy, allowing the filling inside to truly shine. Bursting with flavor, the filling is juicy, well-seasoned, and balanced--savory without being overpowering. Every bite delivers a comforting warmth, the kind that reminds you why dumplings are such a timeless, beloved dish. Whether dipped lightly into sauce or enjoyed on their own, they stand confidently as a highlight of the menu. What truly elevates these dumplings is the attention to detail. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients and the patience behind their preparation. They aren't rushed or mass-produced; they feel handmade, thoughtful, and authentic. The texture contrast between the soft wrapper and the flavorful filling creates a satisfying bite that keeps you reaching for "just one more." It's the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression and sets a high standard for everything else that follows. Then come the short ribs--undeniably the star of the table. Cooked to absolute perfection, the meat is so tender it literally falls off the bone at the slightest touch. Each bite melts in your mouth, rich and deeply flavorful, the result of slow cooking done right. The seasoning penetrates every layer of the meat, creating a depth of flavor that is both bold and comforting. There's no need for a knife here; the ribs surrender effortlessly, a true testament to the skill in the kitchen. The sauce glazing the short ribs deserves its own praise. It's beautifully balanced--savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly aromatic--clinging to the meat and enhancing its natural richness without overpowering it. As the ribs rest on the plate, they practically invite you in, filling the air with an irresistible aroma that makes waiting nearly impossible. Every bite is indulgent, satisfying, and deeply memorable. Together, the dumplings and the short ribs create a dining experience that feels complete and thoughtfully curated. One offers comfort and finesse, the other delivers bold, soulful richness. This is the kind of meal that stays with you long after you've finished, the kind you find yourself recommending to friends without hesitation. If you're looking for dishes that showcase true craftsmanship, heart, and flavor, the dumplings and fall-off-the-bone short ribs are absolute must-tries.

Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot.
