Truly enjoy eating Pho from here. The broth is not too bold in flavor and is perfect paid with steak or seafood. I've only done takeout and every time they get our order right, which is a huge plus. I love that they offer different noodles and other traditional Vietnamese dishes. read more

Not bad. Crowded so it tells me people do come here to eat. Service was decent for being so crowded. A bit pricey (reason for only four stars). If that's cool with you you'll enjoy it read more

Best Pho place ever. The food is always delicious! I love their noodles, pancakes and boba too! Fast service, clean, delicious. Thank you for all your years of service. read more

Great tasting food and reasonable price. We love their taro boba too. Soup is tasty, spring rolls are refreshing and the grilled meat on rice are sweet savory. read more

Very solid Vietnamese restaurant! I ordered the vermicelli with charbroiled beef. It was a lot of food per serving. I tried to call to order in advance but the phone seemed very busy. Went to the restaurant and just ordered there. They said it would be ready in 15-20 minutes and it was! Really quality food, would recommend if in the area! read more

Viet Restaurant - Vermicelli with charbroiled beef - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Coming from Seattle, where Vietnamese restaurants are everywhere, we've been missing it since we moved here. The food here was very good! (Warning, this review is a little nitpicky) We started with the spring rolls. I liked that they weren't packed too heavy with the noodles, but they seemed a little overly filled with lettuce. Personally, I'd prefer a little bit more cucumber and cilantro. But there was lots of tasty shrimp and the peanut sauce was yummy. The pho was on point. Love the flavor of the broth and their selection condiments to add to it. My only complaint on this particular pho, is that usually the brisket is brought out raw, and you cook it instantly in the hot broth- I prefer this method. Having said that, it's still delicious, and I will be back to have their pho again. The pork vermicelli bowl was AMAZING! The pork was so flavorful! I loved it!! I definitely recommend this dish read more

Service: 2/5 Speediness: 0/5 Food: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 The true Asian experience. Good food but terrible service. Except here, service is so bad that everyone was cranky by the time they left, so here i am writing a review on their behalf. Whoo... Came here at 730pm on a Saturday night. They were too busy to seat us, so it's a seat yourself situation except there's only tables of 4 and we had a party of 5. They hurriedly told us to seat ourselves, so we had ro solve that issue ourself by subtracting a chair from another table... The servers are nice, and you can tell that they are swamped but simply making eye contact doesnt prompt them to come check on you. I had to wave them over. Once i waved them over, the server will tell the other server to come check on us. I'm bilingual, i can speak English and Vietnamese just fine. I don't need an English-friendly server. I just need good service, lol. The kicker, there's other Vietnamese guests that came in, got seated, and got their food right away, so yes, they play favorites instead of first seated first served. Note: please ask for water refill. They never came to fill water once in the entire service. Even better, server takes 10 mins to get 2 wedges of lemon, not exaggerating. Speediness is terrible. We came with 5 people. 4 people got their meal first (one by one) , and they finished it... And we reminded them twice that the 5th person hasn't gotten their meal yet. Shaken beef should be the simplest one too make... It's like they went out, killed a fresh cow, and came back to sharing a single wok in the kitchen. The food is good, but some aspects are inaccurate and not authentic. -banh khot is good, crispy, tasty -bun cha gio thit nuon is good, tasty, -pho ap chao. Inaccurate noodles. It was cooked like a pad thai instead... Should be wide pho noodles, not soup pho noodles. -com bo luc lac. Meat is good. Soy sauce dip too salty. -fried banana ice cream. Batter is soggy in some areas, not fully crispy. Bland batter, needs salt. Reasonably priced, but stilll... The whole meal took us 1hr 20mins to leave for what would normally be a 40min experience -Never checks for water refill (so thirsty i have to mention it twice) read more

So my husband and I have now been 3 times at different times of the day. We've become regulars . Quality is always top notch, service is wonderful, always very clean, and everyone is so friendly. Favorite restaurant in El Paso! The food is extremely flavorful and I find it being my pregnancy craving the most! Awesome! This is an update from my last review 2 weeks ago I believe. :) read more

I was recommended this place by a Vietnamese classmate and decided to drive to the other side of town; alas, I was not disappointed. I've been on a mission to find the best Vietnamese food in El Paso, and from first glance of the menu I was very surprised to see dishes that aren't typically offered. We got the Hu tieu dac biet, banh xeo, and bun bo hue. The food was very yummy, service was on point, and we left very satisfied. Next time I want to try the family dinner (sweet and sour soup, clay pot fish, and sautéed vegetables), pho tai, and bun bo xa ot (vermicelli beef with lemongrass). I had a hard time deciding which dish to order as they were all dishes I haven't had since being at home. I will definitely be making the 30 minute drive and come back for more. read more

Such yummy authentic food in EP! Try the lemongrass tofu plate or the stir fried noodles and veggies. So good that my toddlers plowed right through it! The waitress was friendly and the restaurant was clean. It was fairly busy so that was a good sign to me. Will definitely come back. read more

$21 for a pork banh mi and a large pho dac biet. The pho was mids, what you would typically expect but it had a good amount of tendon which I enjoyed. Tripe strips weren't as good. The pork banh mi was phenomenal, although a little scant on the meat. There was a nice smoky flavor and the baguette was decent. read more

The food is good but way overpriced . Dumplings are the best way to go if your unfamiliar with the countries food. Get them fried and you can't go wrong. As with 99% of Asian food; I don't recommend eating this regions diet due to extremely high sodium levels of you need to restrict sodium in your diet. read more

Like I've said before, El Paso is an oasis for Asian food and being Vietnamese, sometimes you just really crave Viet food and this is probably the best place in El Paso to get it, but that doesn't mean that it's great. Ambiance - Clean, natural lighting, with plenty of tables. Service - They're very friendly and willing to give recommendations. Food: Pho - Pho is probably one of my favorite foods and honestly, it's pretty average here. The noodles are a little too hard at times and I find that there aren't enough and the broth a bit bland, but it's not bad. Thai Tea - It's more of a smoothie consistency with some whipped cream on top. The flavor is good though. Pricing - The pho is ~7.25 for a small and it's fairly small. Usually I can't finish a small, but I definitely can here. Overall, this somehow got the title of "The Best New Restaurant in Texas" by Yelp and I can't really see how. It's decent Vietnamese food for El Paso (probably the best), but that's not really saying much. read more

I first came across Viet Restaurant unintentionally. If you aren't paying attention or looking you can miss this gem, in the large shopping center where it's located. My first visit I walked in and asked for takeout recommendations. The Com bo luc lac plate was recommended (cubed steak). I took the recommendation and waited about 10 minutes for my order. When I opened up the food at home & dug in I was really surprised how good it was! Shortly after, I came across a news article about the best new restaurant in TX, being in El Paso - it was an article about the Viet Restaurant. The article prompted me to go back to see if my first order was a fluke or if it really was that good. Long story short, it was just as good the second time around! For my third trip, I brought a colleague from work and we dined in. Although I wanted to order the Com bo luc lac again, this time around I tried another option with beef & shrimp along with some spring rolls. Delicious! I'll continue to visit Viet Restaurant & would recommend others to enjoy it too. read more

I would recommend this place if you're craving Vietnamese food, this is probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in town with reasonable prices. The restaurant is clean and the food is fresh and delicious... My go-to is the chicken vermicelli - the amount of chicken they give is PLENTY and guaranteed to keep you full. The pho is really good too, tastes super authentic. The spring rolls and egg rolls were both delicious and everything tasted fresh! Definitely give this place a shot. A lot of the other Vietnamese restaurants here are more expensive and they don't give you as much food as this place! Guaranteed to keep you full and satisfied. read more

I've been eating here since they opened. I've always eaten their pho. I decided to try something different and I ordered the #30 combination with pork. Everything on this plate was delicious except the shrimp were overcooked. Our server was great and handled our table of seven without a hitch. The restaurant is always well kept. I honestly think that they have the brst pho in town. read more

We were in search of a yummy Vietnamese restaurant and we came across this place. We walked in and were quickly told to find the table we wanted to sit at. They had plenty of TVs all around and they even had a football game playing on one of them. The waitress came right on over and took our drink orders right away. They have soft drinks for $2 but it comes in a can so there are no refills, but they do give you a glass with ice.. We both had pho and we ordered an order of the beef spring rolls, there are two in an order. I had the chicken pho and the hubby had the beef sliced one. The pho comes in two different sizes, a small and a large, and so the prices vary. The chicken pho was really good and they weren't stingy with the chicken breast slices. They gave us a big plate with all the toppings as well, and at the table you have all your condiments. (Soy sauce, hot sauce, siracha, etc) The staff was friendly and they came on over to check up on us several times. We will definitely come back again! Our total cake out to be $32 for two large bowls of pho, and order of spring rolls, and three soft drinks. read more

This place is amazing!! They have fresh Ingredients and the food is so good!! It can be pretty busy at times but you can always call ahead and pick up order. The Banh mi - charbroiled chicken and pork are both amazing choices and will not disappoint you. Lemongrass tofu vermicelli is to die for! The flavors are so refreshing and perfect for a hot summer safe. I've also done charbroiled pork and it's just as good. Spring rolls are made fresh and the peanut sauce is definitely the best pairing. Rub don't walk y'all - this place is amazing. read more

Hands down the best pho place in El Paso! I am soooo happy to finally find a good pho place here. My coworkers have been telling me they found a good pho restaurant so today I decided to give it a try. It was around noon on Friday and the place was pretty busy. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that all the workers and even customers were Vietnamese. I ordered #19 pork broth with BBQ pork and wonton with egg noodle. When they brought a huge plate full of fresh bean sprouts and herbs, I had no doubt that the food was going to taste good! That's how I distinguish good pho restaurants; good pho places don't give you dry brown sprouts.. and I was right. Their pho had good flavor and their wonton was so juicy. Only thing I didn't like was their boba. I ordered the Thai tea with boba but it was very hard and chewy. You could tell it wasn't fresh. But their pho is worth coming back hundreds more times! I can't wait to try their other pho. read more

Let me preface this by saying that Viet is probably the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant right now in El Paso. It's known as great food because there isn't much variety or competition, in my humble opinion. If it was placed in a much more competitive area like Little Saigon in Orange County, San Gabriel Valley Ca, or anywhere in Houston it would be a mediocre Vietnamese restaurant. I say this because I'm still trying to drown out the aftertaste of MSG 4 hrs after I dined there. They use a lot of it there to achieve the rich taste, and I was drinking 2-3 cups as I was eating the noodles and soups and I'm still chugging down water. I was so excited to try this place because of the hype. I know, I know, don't believe the hype, but I did and I saved it for the most special day I could imagine, which is the Lunar New Year; today. I came right when it opened at 11 am and I ordered the Pho because it's known for that and the Mi Kho Hu Tieu Dac Biet (dry egg noodles special with shrimp, squid, quail eggs, pork slices and had the broth on the side). The pho comes in small ($8+) and large ($9) and I ordered the large pho tai nam (eye round and brisket). The soup was well presented but they didn't have the same variety of greens (only cilantro and onions) and the bowl was just a regular size. The eye round was TOUGH. It's supposed to be rare beef and tenderized because it cooks in the broth. It wasn't the case here. It was obviously precooked and warmed up and really chewy. The brisket was softer but extremely fatty with little to no actual meat. The broth had black pepper on top, which was weird to me because if you want heat in pho, you usually add sriracha and jalapenos. Speaking of heat, the pho broth wasn't hot enough so it didn't soften the rice noodles enough to separate and was a lump. As I kept eating, I kept sipping water since it was really salty. Not the best pho I've had in El Paso. Saigon Taste has the better pho, sweeter and with less msg and sodium. The Mi Kho Hu Tieu Dac Biet was something I usually order at Vietnamese restaurants and I was excited to see it here. The seafood was perfectly cooked (not tough or fishy) and the portion of ingredients well balanced. The sauce had pate bits, caramelized onions and soy sauce with a lot of oil and msg. It was definitely tasty but again, with so much sodium and msg, I drank a ton of water and am still chugging it now to get it out of my system. Service was oddly very attentive at first (waitress kept coming around to ask me what I wanted to order) but forgot about us and had to be flagged to refill our water as time went on. I was used to paying at the counter in Vietnamese restaurants and got up to do so, but she brought my card back to our empty table, even though I was standing at the counter. ‍ They had a condiment station next to the table and normally I would love this, but not during Covid times. I liked other restaurants examples of doling it out if needed so I wouldn't have to worry if the prior guests had Covid and obviously they're not disinfecting the jar of chilis or bottles of Hoisin/Sriracha in between guests (at least I didn't see them do that at the tables vacated). I'm excited that they have on their menu family meals (soup, main dish, and vegetable dish) for $30, and I want to go back and try it, but after my daughter and I felt drowsy the rest of the afternoon and have been downing water like we're in a desert, I don't think I'll risk the surfeit of MSG. I'm glad we have an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in El Paso and if you're on the Far Eastside, this is probably your best bet at authentic Vietnamese dishes. Come out and #supportlocal read more

Reviewed during COVID-19 Once again, I came back to my favorite El Paso restaurant. We haven't been able to travel since Covid hit but of course if I'm in El Paso I have to stop by here. First off, with the mask mandate being lifted in Texas, I was a little nervous but I was happy to see that those worries were unfounded. Viet restaurant is currently operating at about 50% capacity with staffs wearing masks and everything getting sanitized between customers. Nothing has really changed. The food is still fantastic and the service is great as always. I just wanted to write a review to commend the owners and staffs for making our meal enjoyable and safe. read more

Good food portions for the price. The egg rolls and spicy beef soup is the absolute best!! The service is exceptional as well!

The restaurant is nice & clean. I ordered Lemongrass Chicken w/ steamed rice and stir fried veggies after speaking w/ lady at counter; also ordered, pancake "crepe" w/ scallions and shrimp. Pancake is rich. Lemongrass chicken flavorful, healthy and decently priced. Oh, the Shrimp Pho was yummy. Ate it in restaurant and they showed me how to add condiments. read more

Viet Restaurant - Shrimp Pho w/ condiments. Very flavorful.. - Vietnamese Near Me - El Paso, Texas

From the Boba, to their soups, anything and everything I've tried from there is authentic, delicious, and plentiful.

Great service and the pho is always on point. It hits the craving on head. Can't go wrong with any of the pho or the vermicelli noodles.

Taro bubble tea is my favorite here. My go to for viet food. The charbroiled Meats and the egg rolls here is real tasty as well read more

Service is so hit and miss. This last visit the server was trying to get me to buy food I didn't order. Ridiculous and was very rude

We had heard from a friend that this restaurant was the most "authentic" Vietnamese restaurant in El Paso so we were very excited to check it out! We got the pork spring rolls, pork banh mi, mango boba and Thai tea boba for a late lunch/early dinner because we were in the area. We would have gotten the pho but we weren't that hungry or craving pho at the time. spring rolls- the pork was so flavorful, had that grilled taste, the peanut sauce was the perfect pair. It actually had a lot of meat which a lot of restaurants tend to skimp on and fill it with noodles or lettuce but NOT here! Pork banh mi- my husband said it's probably one of the better ones he's tried here in El Paso. The meat has the grilled taste, fresh veggies and the pickled daikon and carrots were yummy! Mango boba- husbands boba of choice but he said it wasn't very good and watered down. The boba texture was fine but overall not something we would go here for. Thai tea boba-strong Thai tea flavor, which I LOVE and I'm so glad it was strong bc most places water it down. It was a little too sweet for my liking but I'm guessing most people like it pretty sweet. Overall, I would get it again! We will definitely be coming here again to try the pho because the food was good!! read more

Delicious, BIG servings available, and the service was quick and thorough. As a retired server I notice as the women juggle so many task and still take care of so many tables with ease, it is impressive. Although I believe they should be tipped more than the percentages shown on your bill. My favorite items on the menu is obviously pho #11, #12 & #13 Also the mango boba is delicious! read more

Food: Some of the best quality and authentic Phô in El Paso. I have had just about everything on the menu, always amazing quality. Absolutely LOVE their fried rice paper egg rolls! Service: They are very attentive and polite. One young Latino server (Brian) they have is amazing, but anyone you get will provide excellence. A server named "Quick" is also very knowledgeable and friendly about the menu and foods Prices: $$ Decent prices considering everyone in El Paso overcharges for Phô. They are a bit less pricey than their competition, but with better service and top quality, they win. Cleanliness: place is always clean, bathrooms included. Something funny: you can tell the restrooms cater to short people. I walk in and can't see my face in the mirror because everything is low, hahaha! read more

The food here was decent. This was the first "pho place" we visited since we moved out here from Cali (a few days ago) and like I said it was decent. I got the pan seared cube beef, my wife got the beef pho and my daughter got the charbroiled chicken....NOW THE CHICKEN....OMG IT WAS SOOOO GOOD !! I honestly should have gotten that lol. Next time I know. The customer service was actually pretty good. It didn't take them long to greet us, get us our drinks or our food. They got us our check quick too. Will come back. read more

Aesthetically, Viet restaurant is a nice place to enjoy a meal. It appears very clean and it receives nice natural light. It is comfortable. Pho is a staple to Vietnamese cuisine and should be tried by all. Unfortunately, this pho waS not my favorite. The flavor was off, or at least substantially different from the pho's I've tried packed full of flavor. It didn't seem to be loaded either. I often felt like I was fishing around the broth for substance. I am used to blindly grabbing ingredients with my chopsticks and thoroughly enjoying my pho. It was good not great. Service is good. Our server was a little strange, but whatever. Nothing really worth noting without sounding hyper critical. read more
