Randomly stopped into Viet Time for a bite. The lady behind the counter was so welcoming and sweet, but the food was delicious. The reason why I said "was", because that food was hella good! Swing by and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed. read more

No thanks. My family and I have eaten here a couple times and the food and service were great. However, the last time we visited was on 7/1/26 around lunch time. We ordered vermicelli with pork and garlic noodles with chicken. As we were eating, we noticed a small piece of clear plastic in the garlic noodles. I called over an older lady who I think was the owner and she seemed to have a "what now" look. Anyway, she asked if I'd like them to remake it and I said yes. Our newly made dish was fine and we didn't find any wrong with it. When we were at the counter to pay the bill, the older lady was visibly annoyed. I'm not sure if it's because she didn't like that I pointed out the plastic in the noodles or thats maybe just how she is. After this experience, we will no longer return. read more

Chicken pho was incredibly rich! Had to add water to cut the saltiness a bit. The chicken strips were plenty, noodles a bit clumped together. not enough greens in my opinion. I love basil, etc. And always put in all the greens. That little plate was for 3 bowls of pho :O Friendly service, great price for portions R&B music video playing on the background tv Cute little gadgets and toys for sell as well To-go kiosk next to the mini fridge Plaza parking Thanks! read more

Viet Time - Vietnamese Near Me - San Bruno, California

Ordered to go at the kiosk at 8:35pm. We ordered the grilled pork garlic noodles and curry chicken banh mi. They close at 9pm so we thought ordering to go would be a bit quicker. By 8:51, the owner (?) came over and said they don't have any more bread for banh mi and asked if we wanted anything else. At this point the garlic noodles were already done so we ended up asking for a refund for the banh mi but felt it was really odd that they didn't say anything when they started making the order. The food itself was mediocre. Nothing amazing. There are 8 tables inside and a small sitting area. The eating area itself looked pretty clean but the workers themselves were dressed very casually. read more

Came here for dinner and tried their combo rice plate. It was okay since I wanted to try something other than the usual pho order. The service is friendly. The ambiance is casual. Will return to try the rest of the menu. read more

The pho and green portions are pretty small compared to other places . The staff weren't very friendly and came off kinda rude. One of the girls started cleaning right when we were done and almost splashed soup on me when she tossed a plate into a bowl full of soup. They need better training. read more

Decided to grab a quick hearty sandwich for lunch and wound up at Viet Time. Definitely a good choice. I ordered a grilled pork sandwich to go. The Sandwich was relatively a good size especially for the price (under $10). The bread was still warm and crispy on the outside and the grilled pork was tender and delicious! Will definitely go back and try other selections of food offered on their menu .. (There's a sandwich combo with iced coffee or milk tea for a very reasonable price.. can't beat that.) read more

Amazingly good Bahn Mi with very generous portion of meat. I got the grilled pork. Excellent bread roll with a thin crunchy crust. I would have preferred a bit more grilling sear but it was almost perfect. I would have also preferred the cilantro to be on top instead of under the meat. Very friendly service. read more

Viet Time - Grilled pork bahn mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Bruno, California

When it's cold, I always crave pho, and this is my go-to place since it's close to home and clean with a nice dining area. The three of us ordered two bowls of pho, a grilled pork vermicelli, and one Vietnamese iced coffee. The young waitress doesn't speak Chinese, so if you talk to her in Chinese, she won't understand you--but it's not that she's rude. Our food came out very quickly, which I appreciated because I was hungry. There's plenty of parking, so that's never an issue. They now have a kiosk where you can place your own order if you prefer. I'll definitely come back when I'm craving a bowl of pho. read more

Came in on a Saturday evening as the original restaurant that my friend and I wanted to go to was closed. The restaurant was brightly lit and had a lot of available seating. Your typical Asian/Vietnamese style restaurant. Ambiance was quite quiet since they wasn't a lot of people other than some takeouts. They had a kiosk near the front where you can order or you can order in front with the owner as well. Restaurant was pretty clean and also had videos playing food from Vietnam on the TV. Service was decent; owner brought over waters and the food came out in a timely manner. I tried: 1) #8 - Combo #1 with vermicelli(Pork Chop, Chicken Wing and Egg Roll)(6.2/10) - A decent bowl of vermicelli noodles. The portion size for the price was very reasonable; a lot of vermicelli noodles, veggies(lettuce, pickled carrots and daikons, bean sprouts and cucumbers), 2 grilled pork chops, 3 chicken wings(drums and wings) and 1 egg roll. Overall the dish was just okay - didn't wow me other than the portion size. The pork chops were marinated well and grilled well, not dry at all. The highlight of the bowl was the chicken wings, those were cooked really well - light, crispy, hot and juicy! The one let down was the eggroll.....I didn't finish this since it had a funky taste...not sure if it was the seasoning or something else. Also, the fish sauce mix was just okay; it lacked the usual umami you get from fish sauce...maybe a bit too diluted; wasn't to my liking. Overall, its a okay Vietnamese restaurant and very affordable. But wouldn't go out of my way to come here. read more

Viet Time - #8 - Combo #1 with vermicelli(Pork Chop, Chicken Wing and Egg Roll)($15) - Vietnamese Near Me - San Bruno, California

The Thai Tea was a miss for me. Very powdery, and the milk didn't fully mix in, leaving it clumpy. On the other hand, the Garlic Noodles were tasty, not too oily, and a solid value at $8. I personally wouldn't pay double the price to add protein, but the noodles themselves satisfied my craving. I ordered at the counter for takeout, and my order was ready in under 15 minutes, which was super convenient. The menu has so many options I'd love to try, and I'm definitely planning to come back to explore more dishes. read more

Super affordable place for banh mi and rice or noodle plates! Their banh mi was under $10 and came with lots of meat. I got the grilled pork banh mi combo with iced Vietnamese coffee. The grilled pork was very tasty but I wished it was slightly charred more. The Vietnamese coffee was strong. Seems like a very popular place because a lot of people were ordering takeout and I saw lots of DoorDash orders too. read more

Viet Time - Grilled Beef Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - San Bruno, California

I came here during Labor Day weekend because we decided to eat some Vietnamese food for lunch. We were welcomed and seated right away upon entering. It wasn't too busy or loud, so we were accommodated easily when ordering our lunch. Prior to arriving, we already saw the food on Yelp and they all looked so good! My friend and I split the Garlic Noodles with Grilled Chicken and a Grilled Pork Banh Mi to share since we wanted to try both. The bread was a little hard, but the rest of the sandwich was very flavorful! The garlic noodles with chicken were very flavorful as well. I would come back again for the same dishes, as well as try their drinks! read more

I stopped in for a bowl of Pho on New Year's Day. The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. However, the Pho itself wasn't quite to my taste. The broth had a very intense beef flavor that felt a bit overwhelming, and I found myself wishing for more spice and complexity. While I'm sure those who prefer a heavy, beef-forward broth would love it, it wasn't the right fit for me and I couldn't quite finish the bowl. read more

Came back here for a quick lunch. The combo pho my partner got was okay but the bun rieu was delicious! I'd definitely get it again. The service was a little slower this time but the food was consistently the same. The portions and pricing are better than some places in the Bay Area and the service is normally nice. I prefer to get their non-pho soup noodle dishes since they're better than their pho imo. Will be back to try their other soups! read more

Viet Time - Combo pho - Vietnamese Near Me - San Bruno, California

A pretty good casual pho spot. There's plenty to like here. The portions are generous , reasonably priced. The meat is perfectly tender and noodles are great. The broth, however, could use more flavor. The peanut sauce was unique. Their is less think, more light beige and soupy. Not sure it's for me. Don't skip out on dessert. The mango pudding was great. The strong fluorescent lights make it more feel more stressful to eat there. read more

I got the takeout lemongrass pork chop. My order came over relatively quickly and it was a good portion. Enough for two meals. The meal came with rice, fish sauce, pork and pickled veggies. The fish sauce was not my favorite however the pork was delicious. Tender and flavorful. I would come back if I was in the area read more

My mom and I swung by here in between apartment tour sessions, and we got the chicken rice dish and #1 pho. The broth was exceptional and the rice dish was so savory! Absolutely stacked with meat and veggies to the brim. Really homey vibes with authentic dishes, definitely a great place to go for a simple atmosphere and comfortable portions. read more

We came here for dinner a few days ago because we always see this spot pop up whenever we're looking for dinner ideas. I'm happy to say we were pleasantly surprised by this spot & will gladly return! I was feeling a little under the weather so wanted something soupy and nothing cures you more than a nice hot bowl of pho! My fiancé and I both ordered the combo pho #1 which was flavorful and surprisingly the beef brisket & rare beef weren't rough in texture or too chewy. Sometimes I feel like the restaurants make the cuts too thick and the meat is super tough to chew. The person at the table next to us ordered a vermicelli bowl and honestly it smelled so good! If I weren't under the weather I definitely would've ordered that. Overall, a great little spot near where we live & will return to try the other dishes. Also just genuinely like supporting small local businesses. read more

This family owned restaurant is tucked in the corner just to the left of Starbucks. It can get pretty busy around lunchtime due to its surrounding and a lot of people who work nearby drop in for a bite. Their Bun Rieu is hands down one of my all time favorites, I seriously crave it all the time! I hope they never change the recipe! The portion is one size but generous, and I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The broth is packed with rich, savory flavor. As for the vermicelli bowls, I was shocked by how big the portion was. The bowl they serve it in is honestly too small for how much you get (time for an upgrade, haha). I tried the grilled pork, and it was nicely seasoned. The fish sauce it came with added a perfect touch of umami sweetness. read more

First of all, they are not stingy with the noodles! We ordered at the counter and sat ourselves. A man came around with waters. I was grateful that they didn't put ice in em. Service is no frills. Inside is clean. The food came out quickly and was steaming hot! Definitely exceeded expectations and now I know why it got a 4.0 rating. I'll be returning soon. Very soon. read more

2025 update. Viet Time was empty at 7pm on a Monday evening. I usually eat at La Salsa when I'm in this strip mall. Then I remembered I've never tried Viet Time's grilled pork garlic noodles $14. This dish was OK. Flavorful grilled pork and mild garlic taste noodles. It wasn't greasy enough. The tips of the garlic noodles were burnt, which was good. It needed a lot more garlic flavor. Also missing were some sort of vegetables. Green onions (scallions), Vietnamese picked carrots or daikon (radish) would have been nice. The restaurant remains too clean for my liking for a Vietnamese restaurant. read more

Came here on a Thursday night, moderately busy. We were able to get a seat less than 5 mins. Fast service and sufficient. Restaurant has its simple atmosphere. Menu not complicated and straight forward. I felt the food was over priced but for the portion they served it was reasonable. I felt they had more mobile orders than sit down customers. The banh mi sandwiches looked so good I may try that next time! read more

I tried this place one time before this visit, (ordered 2 Bahn Mi sandwiches - combo and pork), and had a great experience that I thought to try their large bowl of Pho Ga, fried egg rolls, and an extra side of broth this time around. The first thing that stood out when I was preparing my meal when I got home was how small the Pho bowl was. After opening it up, to me, it was barely a size small portion as there were less than 7 cut pieces of chicken inside. I wasn't provided Hoisin or Sirracha sauces for the soup or pickled carrots and daikon with the egg rolls which I had asked for. Regardless, I started adding the sprouts, jalapeños, broth, and warmed it all together to a steep temp. First slurp of the soup, it's delicious. The fried egg rolls complimented the soup but would of been nice to have the pickled items that was supposed to accompany it. Overall, it was still a satisfying experience! read more

Came to Viet Time for dinner and it was empty inside with one person waiting for their togo order. We got the bun rieu and cold cut sandwich combo. For the bun rieu, the soup was tasty and the portion was big, however the noodles were a bit undercooked. The sandwich was very good and packed with meat. I got the milk tea to go with the combo and their milk tea is Hong Kong style with condensed milk which was also very good. We sat closer to the back of the restaurant and it was pretty loud. From the sound of the tv to the moving of stuff in the back and the front of the house talking. I would come again for the sandwich combo but probably would not dine in again. read more

We came to dine in because the ambiance looked inviting. We've had doordashed bunh mi from here so we were wondering why no one dines here. And we found out why. The pho is bland. The beef stew is worse. The spring rolls tasted stale. We were the only people in there and service was terrible and slow. And there were a minimum of 8 people working lol. And after having a bunh mi from here once and seeing how many rolls were out, I wondered how stale they were since no one dines there. We wanted a change of scenery from the usually really good reliable Vietnamese restaurants that are around but now I regret it. read more

Yummy menu and great Banh Mi Chicken sandwich! Nice to know there's a great Vietnamese Banh Mi spot in San Bruno!

My family and I went to this place for Banh Mi. We were able to sit down right away and be served immediately. Upon arrival, we received hot tea, which was really warm. The host was speedy in service and served our food promptly. The restaurant itself is bright and welcoming. The best Banh Mi that we ate would definitely be the Grilled Beef. It was flavorful and tender. Would definitely come back to order the same Banh Mi again! read more

I was curious about this place and the banh mi. I was greeted quickly, and the person was friendly. It was a cozy restaurant inside. I wanted to try the banh mi here, and to my liking, the amount of pickled carrots they placed into the sandwich and the jalapenos added a great kick. I would like to go back and try other things on their menu. read more

Came by on a Saturday afternoon for a snack! Cute indoor space, not a ton of seating but cozy. Super nice staff. + grilled pork bahn mi: opted for jalapeños but they weren't that spicy. Pork was juicy and well seasoned though it didn't seem grilled (maybe pan seared or warmed in oven?). Bread was soft inside with crusty outside. Could've used a bit more veg to round out the bahn mi, but it was still solid. Staff asked if we wanted it cut in half - yes please! + chicken wings: omg these were amazing. Hot out of the fryer, crisp skin, insanely juicy and well seasoned. Only 7 flats in an order for $9. Sprinkling of seasoned green onions and chopped jalapeños on top. Wish there were more. Despite the jalapeños, it wasn't spicy and my kids fought over these. I wish the staff could've noticed that we were a table of 4 and brought some small plates for us to use, but the kids didn't mind since they were hunched over the plate fighting over the wings. + 3 color drink: nice ratio of coconut milk, condensed milk, red and mung bean mash at bottom and the green jelly. Not too much ice. Yum. Def interested in stopping by in the future to try out other dishes! read more

To go order was small and sad. This place has had the worst turnover in this strip mall. It was like a sandwich place and something something else and now this. Okay, back to the small portion Pho. Grabbed my to-go order and was still left hungry. The eggrolls were super chewy by the way, and the thai tea at nearly $6 was pricey and watery. Didn't and haven't tried their banh mi sandwich, but based on my to go order, I won't be back. It'll probably be another restaurant at this rate in another year or two. read more

I've been wanting to go here for a while now. I walked in, and it was packed.  The place was super busy.   There were so many items to choose from,  it was hard not to  make my own sampler.  The place is simply decorated, but ig ready for a post.   I was greeted right away and placed my order for to go.    I ordered: 1. Iced Vietnamese coffee - I was surprised it was made the traditional way,  pour over.   A lot of places nowadays just have it ready to pour over ice.  This was the perfect pick me up for lunch.   Sweet with just the right amount of punch. 2.  Fried egg rolls - So crispy, it doesn't even need the sauce.  The wrapper they used was different and gave you an extra crunchiness. 3.  Grilled beef over rice with egg roll -  The beef was super tender and flavorful.  I liked that for once, it didn't come with a salad but instead possibly picked carrots and daikon?     Overall,  the food was amazing. Service was fast and friendly. Didn't have to wait too long, and the food was fresh.  Highly recommend and I look forward to coming back soon. read more
