OK, no joke. I'm a serious connoisseur of Vietnamese food having grown-up in Orange County for most of my life and eating amazing home-cooked Vietnamese food. The owner super nice but reminded me that I need to brush up on my Vietnamese. Trust me when I tell you this that I know good Viet food no pun intended. This place is legit and reminds me of eating at home. Hands-down, the best for you can find in the Treasure Valley. Portions are generous, especially the protein as it's rare I get filled up on a bowl as most places skimp on this but today was the exception. Enough talking and typing just come and eat here I promise you will love it! read more

Vietfood - 1. Fried Egg Rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I stopped in and ordered a variety of appetizers along with a bowl of bun bo Hue to get a good sense of the menu. The presentation was nice, and I appreciated being able to try several different Vietnamese favorites in one meal. The bun bo Hue had a decent amount of meat and toppings, but the broth lacked the depth, spice, and lemongrass aroma that I usually look for in this dish. It was enjoyable, but not particularly memorable. The appetizer platter included grilled pork spring rolls, crispy egg rolls, and beef wrapped in betel leaves. The egg rolls were crispy and probably the highlight of the plate, while the grilled pork rolls were a bit dry. The betel leaf beef had a nice char but could have used more seasoning. I also tried the chewy dumplings , which had a pleasant texture, though the flavor was not what I expected. Service was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, the food was decent and satisfying, but nothing really stood out enough to make me eager to return over other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. A solid meal, just not one that left a lasting impression. read more

It was Mother's day when we came in for dinner. I have been wanting to try this joint out for a while so it's nice that my family decided to head in her for our Mother's day dinner. My daughter and I showed up first. We were told we can sit anywhere. Of course the table we sat at was not available. I should have taken our first interaction as an indicator of how our dining experience will be. A couple menus were dropped off for the 8 of us. My daughter ordered a soda while we were waiting. We just hung out till the rest of my family showed up. After everyone showed up, some waters and menus were brought. It kills me how much time is wasted when the server only brings out a couple waters at a time. Same with menus. Why can't you put 6 waters on a tray and get it all done all at once? After all the walking back and forth, my daughter still had yet to get her soda that she ordered when we first got there. We started the ordering process with one server. She made her way down starting on one side with my neice, nephew and my daughter next. My daughter was in the middle of ordering when another server decided to take over. My daughter wanted to order the broken rice special. The special comes with a fried egg. So, she wanted the pork belly with fried eggs. With the interruption, there was confusion to her order. She was confused about what was repeated to her since it's not what she ordered but she went with it. The server made her way down the table. I was planning on taking a couple bites of everyone's food. I was still full from lunch earlier and didn't want a full meal. And in all honesty, with the service being so all over the place, I wasn't really interested at that point. Everyone's order was read back. There was an extra order of broken rice that was read off which is what I thought would happen when another server interrupts the ordering process. I picked up on it but everyone said that it was right. I was just goimg to wait for the food to come out for my family to see the mess up. Food was slowly trickling out. Tea was ordered for my grandma and was still not brought out. There was no method to their madness. It wasn't busy for things to be forgotten. A few bowls of pho and bun bo was dropped off. My grandma's vegan noodle was next and still no tea. My nephew and daughter both ordered the broken rice but 3 plates were dropped off. Of course the current server didn't realize the mix up cause she messed up the whole process. Everyone's food looked decent. I decided not to eat cause the choas of the food and lack of service just turned me off. So today's review is solely on experience. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the service. It's been a few months since they have opened so it's ridiculous how unorganized they are. By now, you should have a decent system down. The switching of the server was unnecessary. The lack of communication between servers was prevalent. You can't expect your guest to have a relaxing meal when your serving chaos. I'm giving 2 stars cause I was told the good was decent read more

I'm new to Boise and was missing some Vietnamese food, but this spot definitely delivered! I met the owner, Nikki, and she's incredibly sweet and welcoming. She makes everything authentically with true Vietnamese flavor and doesn't adjust the taste to cater to the American palate. I tried: - Duck & Bamboo Shoot Noodle Soup (Bún Măng Vịt) - 10/10 Weekly special and very hearty! The broth was nice and clear with rich flavor. It came with about three THICK slices of duck and two pieces with bone. It also included a side plate of chopped vegetables and a sweet-and-sour ginger dipping sauce that paired perfectly with the duck. - Condensed Milk Phin Coffee - 10/10 I LOVE this. If you ask them to make it a little more bitter or less sweet, it's perfect. Definitely order again, esp with salted foam! - Grilled Pork & Egg Rolls Vermicelli - 9/10 Crispy egg rolls, smoky grilled pork, and fresh vegetables over vermicelli noodles. Super refreshing and great for a hot day. The housemade fish sauce was flavorful with garlic and chilies. Need to come back to try the pho next time! read more

Honest Review for VietFoods I'm visiting from Seattle and happened to come across this place on Google Maps--and I'm so glad I did. First visit: I walked in and was warmly greeted by the owner with a beautiful smile. She asked where I was visiting from and recommended the Bún Riêu Cua. I took her suggestion, and wow--it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, it's one of the best bowls of Bún Riêu I've had in a long time. She even asked if it compared to Seattle, and I happily told her yes! Second visit: I came back again the next day and was greeted by another staff member who was just as sweet and welcoming. This time I ordered the Phở Gà. They didn't have chicken heart or liver available, but even so, the flavor was incredible. I'd say it's the best Phở Gà I've had since my trip to Hanoi and Sapa about four months ago. Overall: The service is attentive and genuinely friendly, and the food is both authentic and excellent. Inside decor is beautiful and quiet. Love it! If you're in Boise, I highly recommend stopping by and giving VietFoods a try--you won't be disappointed. read more

Great and authentic Vietnamese food! I'm Vietnamese myself, so I was excited for a new place to open up in Boise. The service is friendly but a bit slow/awkward at times since they're still training new staff (and a new restaurant in general). The decor reminds me of Vietnamese restaurants you'd see in Little Saigon in Orange County, CA so that's when I knew it'd be legitimate. We ordered the Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) and Banh Mi, as well as Vietnamese coffee. All of them were good! The Bun Bo Hue is the best here, in my opinion! Will be coming back here to try more stuff on the menu, especially since they have a lot of tradition appetizers I haven't been able to find here in Boise. read more

So my wife and I are always searching for great Vietnamese or ethnic food.. The food was fresh. We had the barbecue pork summer rolls. And we both had the barbecue pork Vietnamese sandwich. Service was slow wish as there were only two tables in the restaurant.... Ambience was nice. I felt as as if I was at a spa very calming music. I thought the Vietnamese coffee was a little expensive at seven dollars. we will definitely be back and perhaps get some pho! read more

As someone from the Bay Area in California, I am always for the hunt for authentic Vietnamese Food in Boise. I found Vietfood when I was really craving Bun Bo Hue, and it hit the spot. The broth is flavorful, light, aromatic, and full of a variety of meats. The bowl was huge and I wish I had room for more appetizers or side dishes! I think compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in their area for Bun Bo Hue, the recipe and preparation at Vietfood is much higher in quality and quantity. read more

Best Vietnamese food in town and it's not even close! Everything we tried was delicious. We'll be back for sure.

Diverse menu offerings, attention to detail and chef prepared Vietnamese dishes that range from soups to sandwiches to noodles to rice with meat and yummy desserts like banana pudding. Add-ons like beef rib, pork chop and more made the array of dishes sized just right for the appetite. Great value! read more

I gave this new place a try today since I was in the area and was craving some Asian food. I was pleasantly surprised.

Ya know. I often leave long over indulgent reviews that go on and on about food quality and service and honestly who cares... When it's banger it's banger. If you want real Vietnamese food....look no further. The portions are not huge and they don't need to be. This is the real deal. Seattle, Frisco has nothing on this place. Solid menu, real deal and friendly. If you think there are other options in the area, perhaps you find some of them delicious. You are about to be schooled on real Vietnamese. Period. Eat here...tell me I'm wrong. I'm not. read more

Great little spot! Food came out fast and fresh. I go the #15 Pho and pork egg-rolls. I normally have to add a bunch of sauces to the broth but I didn't add a thing and thought it was flavorful and delicious! The meat tasted very fresh and tender, the noodles are a little wider and really soak up the flavor from the broth. Fair price and a great portion of meat in the bowl to enjoy. read more
