Great food service and atmosphere! Was a little fancier than we were expecting, but we had a great experience.

The 2 stars is for the customer service which was very good , but the pho was not good at all. Chicken has no flavor and you can tell the broth was powder broth. read more

Nice fine dining Vietnamese restaurant in downtown Corpus near the water. Most of the items that are vegetarian can been made vegan! I enjoyed the vegan spring rolls and the vegan Kung Pao Tofu! read more

I will have dreams for years about the unctious mushroom sauce on the most velvety, buttery chilean sea bass. It will be what I measure all Chilean Sea Bass for the foreseeable future. BUT, the ginger soup (which I was REALLY looking forward to) was stunningly BLAND! It was a saltfree chicken broth. I was wholly disappointed in the grilled shrimp nuong. Served on a basic mixed salad (not lettuce cups) with NO seasoning and dry. AVOID the grilled shrimp, order the bass and change your life. The waitress was wonderful and warm but got our drink order incorrect entirely. In a party of 2 we ordered 2 drinks each and she incorrectly placed our order both times. NONE of the drinks we ordered were what we drink AND no mention was made of ANY adjustment, but she was sweet, just apparently very confused! read more

The chef is amazing! The ambience is wonderful, extremely classy. The drinks are strong, just how we like them. We will definitely be returning. We had the chicken fried rice, filet mignon, and the tempura fried broccoli (loved the sauce served with this), I can't wait to try something new next time! read more

Exceptional tasting foods, great service, and pleasant comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended. Reservations accepted but not required. Quality of foods is over and beyond.looking forward to my next adventure going there for fine dining. read more

Visited here for a nice lunch. The restaurant is very elegant with a quiet atmosphere. Our waiter was very attentive and professional too. However, I must say I've had better food in other Vietnamese restaurants. The prices were a bit high for food and cocktails. But, all in all it was a pleasant experience. read more

Vietnam triples as a classy French Vietnamese restaurant, boutique hotel, and event center. It is a quintessential Corpus institution, being a time-tested recognizable establishment downtown on Water Street. The food is good Vietnamese cuisine, and trust me, I know this genre well. I may not eat this type of food very often anymore, but since my employer has our annual management Christmas party here, I have decided to have an annual cheat meal here. And did I enjoy it! It is also an ideal place to have either lunch or dinner, and planned personal or professional events. In fact, most business luncheons I can recall attending since moving here has been here. In short, it's a really nice place to come to for many reasons. If you're in Corpus, I highly recommend stopping by here. If you're planning an event in Corpus, I highly recommend you consider using Vietnam. I doubt you'll be disappointed! read more

Weirdest vietnamese restaurant. When queried waitress advised it was fusion cuisine inspired by vietnam. But unlike any food I encountered in my years over there. Tried fresh roll but peanut sauce was.. not good and I paid the bill and left. read more

Absolutely overpriced with little options, no substitutions or accommodations and the worst wait staff I've come across in a long time. They rushed us through our entire sit down meal and even called out my family members personal handicap by suggesting what was best seating for someone who can walk just fine. . . For a "nice" non fast food restaurant, I would avoid at all cost. At the end of my terrible experience, they even had a whole $21 dollar meal added to my bill which wasn't anything we had ordered. They did refund me but I was closer to just walking out to save myself even more frustration. There is no way I will go back. read more

Love the ambiance, the mood with the dark wooden walls, the soft lighting. The staff were all welcoming. Our server was knowledgeable on the menu. Highly recommend the fried brocolli. And NO, it's not just brocolli! It was amazing. I went with the scallops and my husband went with the chateaubriand. EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly.. This is now one of my favorite places to go for special occasions. Special because it is $$$$ per head. read more

For some reason, most of my friends aren't real keen on trying something new. Nope, just give them a chicken fry or some bbq and to hell with the rest of the world! Well, on my trip to Corpus Christi, one of the guys I'm traveling with, John, loves Asian food. Let's Go! Tonight we went to The Vietnamese Restaurant. Pretty simple name, huh. Very nicely decorated, and a bar that was pretty busy. I've done the Pho thing and the curry thing too many times, so I wanted something different. He suggested Com Tay Cam, a seafood clay pot. Deeeelicious! I prefer noodles, but rice is ok once in a while. The shrimp and scallops were big and fresh, awfully good. This was Rob's first time having Vietnamese, and he chowed down his fried rice. He said yes, the seasoning was different from what he expected, and he enjoyed it. All in all, a great meal, and a happy belly. Let's do it again! read more

As a Corpus resident I can't believe we have never been here, it's wonderful. We visited with a group from out of state since they were staying at the Omni. The outside appears plain, but the inside is beautiful and upscale. The decor is elegant. The staff were fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. Our water glasses remained full the entire evening. The bartender personally delivered our drinks. Our waiter helped with menu descriptions and choices. Every person at our table of 9 people was impressed. I ordered the half chicken which was amazing, the sauce was delicious. My husband ordered the yellow curry chicken, which was very flavorful. One friend ordered the Chateaubriand. We all tried it. It was the best steak we all have eaten, melt in your mouth delicious. The desserts were fabulous! The lemon blueberry cake was my favorite. The guys loved the chocolate and caramel cheesecake. I would skip the appetizer to enjoy a dessert. It is very pricey, but it's the best restaurant in the area. I can't wait to come back. read more

I'm shocked I didn't do this review a year ago. I took all the pics but didn't review for some reason. Stuck in drafts. The food: I was not a fan at all. The strange soup that came out was not good! The chicken was okay. Egg rolls okay. Just very middle of the road. Nothing great. Nothing to write back home about lol. I think we got dessert but I cannot recall. I just remember them not having lemon grass beef. Not having fried rice. This is some sort of fusion restaurant. Not traditional Vietnamese. I wasn't a huge fan. Neither was my colleague. I probably wouldn't be back I don't think they even had Vietnamese egg rolls. If you are in the area try then out. Maybe they are for you. Maybe you will love them lol. I am finding out that corpus is not the place to get epic food. I guess I am spoiled living n Houston texas. read more

Our waitress kept wiping her nose with her hands and fingers which was not appetizing. The Alaskan salmon was good but very pricey. I loved my hubbys Jalepeno margarita but my citronella drink tasted just like ginger ale. My husband got the lunch specialty with all the meats and seafood and I could tell he wasn't happy. I had to jazz it up at home with spices and more veges. However, we did like the ambiance. Bathroom was clean and we probably will return but try something else read more

Excellent food. Very tasty and fresh. The service was top notch always on top of things. The ambiance and as nice and quiet.

Very upscale and great ambience. The food was very good, the Crispy Duck was the special of the day and was excellent. Wait staff was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. read more

I'm going to apologize for not having pictures. I honestly thought had rated Vietnam. This was one of the best restaurants in Corpus for years. There was always a broad selection of specials to the point you never needed a menu. It's one of the few linen table cloth restaurants in town. Their interior design is a little dark but it's never too loud or overcrowded. Something has changed in the last couple of years. I'm sick of the COVID BS excuses. Tim was the manager and after he moved (on a couple years back) it just fell apart. Their food has gone down hill. They dont carry Sambal anymore because it's too expensive. Hello, charge me for it?!? They've chose to create their own which I respect but it's terrible. They have a roasted chicken that was always a staple and now it's dry and bland. Their food options are minimal and they continue to lack flavor. Last night I ordered a grilled pork dish (Mel recommended it) and it was completely flavorless besides the fish sauce dip accompanying it. I asked for fresh jalapeños to spice it but the kitchen sent me a grilled one....not an issue. However, that pepper was actually rotten and had holes in it with a black rotten stem. They charged me $1.00 for it!!! I mentioned it to Mel but it wasn't her fault. We will continue to go back simply because food option in Corpus suck. They have Yelp stickers on their door and I hope this gets read and maybe someone's attention. ****Mel has been a waitress we have followed for years in other establishments (Mama Mia's). We love her. She will always do her best to be sure the dining experience is the one thing the kitchen can't mess up. Landon is also very pleasant and fun to dine with. read more

Amazing calamari and broccoli appetizer! Was just perfect for date night on the town

On my family's second day in Corpus Christi we'd decided to walk over to Vietnam Restaurant since we've been eyeing the eatery since we arrived at our hotel which was next to the restaurant. But also since we're Vietnamese, supporting small Asian businesses are important during these times! Once entering we were immediately sat down in a fine dining setting, and given menus which displayed traditional Vietnamese fare. One noticeable difference between this restaurant and other restaurants with the same ambience was its customers who were rowdy and loud. At least give their party a notice that they're loud... My parents had told me that in a Viet restaurant if you see no other Viet people, that's a telltale sign the place isn't quality Viet cuisine. Although the menu carried some Viet classics, the prices weren't cheap. And you'd say "Why mention that it's not cheap, it's fancy and is obviously going to cost some $$$?", that's where the price doesn't match the quality. The grilled pork was thin pieces of meat that were burnt and dry, my husband said his beef pho was flavorless, and my chicken stir fry was so overly salty I couldn't finish it. And although they mixed my chiken stir fry with shrimp, the mix-up was quickly resolved by our waiter. But with a bill of over $70, for three plates that either weren't filling or tasteful I wouldn't be going here again. read more

This restaurant is a true gem in the heart of Corpus Christi. Don't be fooled by the appearance from the outside of the restaurant. It's truly beautiful inside, and the outside can be deceiving as well as the surrounding street. Our server was great. My husband had the Chateaubriand, which is the best steak we ever had! It was prepared wonderfully and so good. I had the Scallops with a mushroom cream sauce with mashed potato points. 10/10 overall for the food and entire experience! read more

Fine dining Vietnamese restaurant and all worth it including customer service. Since I've moved to Texas almost couple years ago we've been coming to this spot and as always it never fails. Last night they were having technical difficulties with their computers but in all of the stress and chaos they were able to give us good food and a fantastic service. They were apologetic if the situation even one of the owners came out, made sure we're good and thanked us for being patient. I recommended this restaurant Thank you also for our bartender/ server Marc and his partner server " Kevin", not really her name but she was wearing Kevin's uniform Either awesome experience. read more

You will love Vietnam Restaurant. Fresh fish, shrimp and fine cuts of beef. Specials are worth trying.

We loved this place!! We had heard good things so we went in with high expectations. The restaurant interior is beautiful and very spacious. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the shrimp spring rolls, the black pepper fried broccoli, a coriander Chilean sea bass special, the kung pao beef and a caramel cheesecake for dessert. We also each ordered a cocktail. Everything was exquisite. The black pepper fried broccoli will change your life, or at least the way you think of broccoli. The Chilean sea bass was the best we ever had. The cocktails were creative and well-made. We will absolutely be back. Yes, it's expensive. It's also worth it. If you are on the frugal side, consider skipping the cocktails ($18 each) and opting for beer, wine or water. Also consider skipping the specials (the Chilean sea bass special was $60) and order something similar from the regular menu. Whatever you do, do NOT skip the black pepper fried broccoli. You can definitely get a fantastic meal here for no more than you would spend at other great restaurants. read more

Buyer beware. I took my wife and son to the Vietnam Restaurant on 9/25/2021. The restaurant was recommended by the bartender at the motel where we were staying, we are from Cypress, TX. Most items on the menu are $15-$30, so when the waiter suggested we get "the special" didn't think to ask the price and the waiter didn't mention the disproportionate cost of the entree. The special was a 16 oz Wagyu ribeye with mashed potatoes. It was cooked correctly and tasted good. I've had Wagyu steaks before that were better. When we got the bill we were shocked that the steak cost $125. This was not a $125 steak. I told that to the waiter. I paid the bill but I'll never go back. read more

This place was fantastic!!!! If I could give them more stars I would! Everything from our waiter to the food was great! We started off with a great wine recommendation, broccoli as an appetizer which was my favorite because they prepared it a great way and then roasted chicken. And ended the night with a cheesecake. I will most definitely be coming back! If you're new to Corpus and want a nice restaurant to go eat at. I definitely recommend this place. read more

For the last night in Corpus, we opted for a trip to Vietnam. I will say, this place is like no other Vietnamese restaurant I've been to. While I love my Banh Mi and Pho joints, we (in North Texas) do not get to experience much else from the region. Vietnam is fine dining Vietnamese as will be immediately noticeable by the furnishings. Accompanied by this vibe is a unique and delicious menu and despite some other complaints, I found the prices to be accurate to what the restaurant presents itself as in addition to the quality of the food. The Hot Pots caught my eye and I opted for the Seafood Hot Pot - a cornucopia of sorts with scallops, shrimp, calamari, mushrooms, all served in a delicious broth with a side of rice. I loved the hot pot and want to come back again to try the other types. Another way to get your seafood fix in here on the Texas coast. We capped off the meal with some coffee served Vietnamese-style. Again, another nice, unique touch and I would liken the coffee flavor to that of Turkish coffee. If you need a pick me up after your meal here, I definitely recommend the coffee. So Vietnam was a great way to end our nice trip to the Texas Coast and we will be back to Vietnam for our next trip. read more

Have gone now twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The food is delicious but expensive. They only serve pho at lunch which is disappointing because it's phenomenal. Great service and ambiance. Plan on at least $30 for lunch and $40-50 for dinner, not including alcohol. I'll definitely come back for lunch though! read more

I'm really curious what uncultured swine is giving this 5 stars or calling it authentic. This is based off a lunch time, eat-in experience. First off, the outside of the restaurant smells like molded water and asphalt which carried into the inside of the restaurant with more of a stagnant water smell. The place is "fine dining" with white table cloths and place settings like your grandma would want for Christmas Eve dinner. The even clear away the extra place settings at the table when you sit down. I should have ran knowing it would be bad when two white males greeted me at the hostess booth and none of the waiters were ethnic either. My waiter only approached me to make a drink and food order. He didn't bring me my food nor did he bring me my final check. I had to wave down another waiter to get my check to leave. My meal came with a salad. It said so on the menu. My waiter asked "do you want a salads instead of the soup it comes with?" I pointed to the menu and explained to him it said it already comes with a salad. His response? "Uh, yeah do you want the salad instead of the soup?" Um... I want the salad it comes with. He scurried away. My salad came drowwwwning in a dressing/ vinaigrette I've never tasted before. It was rather sour tasting. Get whatever dressing they offer on the side and judge for yourself. The good news is the salad didn't look wilted. I ordered the beef pho. Super simple and authentic, right? Can't mess it up, right? Well... for starters it didn't come with any of the usual sides - bean sprouts, cilantro, lime or jalapeños. I was, however, provided soy sauce and chili paste. The pho soup base had ZERO depth of flavor. It was like watered down chicken broth. I've never had to add chili paste to my pho to get flavor, but here we were. Also... plastic chopsticks. Have you ever tried to use plastic chopsticks? (hint: they don't work well). Just don't with this place. If you know Vietnamese food, this place will sorely disappoint. If you want a bland version of Vietnamese that's comparable to choking down dry, unbuttered toast, this is your place. Also be prepared to pay $18 (!!!) for your lackluster pho. One small bowl of pho. Not worth it. read more

I regularly eat at Vietnam and the food is always good but service can vary dramatically. Usually eating at the bar is always dependable but Tonight was different. I walked in a few minutes before 8:00 and there were guests at only 4-5 tables. I sat at the bar for almost 15 minutes and never got acknowledged. Several wait staff came behind the bar but never even looked at me. Very disappointing!! read more

The food here was delicious! We enjoyed the fried broccoli starter, spring rolls, and my dad had the best calamari he had ever had. The main meals were also delicious. The atmosphere is lovely, even though it does not look as nice from the outside. The staff was also very nice and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for my birthday For starters my friend and I split the savory crepe which came out just as we were anticipating it's arrival. I was thoroughly satisfied with my steak that came with sautéed spinach and mushrooms. I asked the waiter for his recommendation and he responded "on or off the menu". So of course I went with the steak which didn't disappoint at all, it was juicy, it was cooked to perfection and probably the best steak I've had in Texas! Highly recommend :). It was so good I didn't even get pictures (always ask for recommendations on or off the menu ). My friend had the rotisserie chicken and we both knew we were satisfied when there was complete silence at the table. We were so stuffed we couldn't even look at the desert menu but we washed it all down with a bottle of wine and called it a day :) read more

Seated immediately, drink and entree order taken quickly. Real plates, metal utensils, and cloth napkins and table cloths. Very nice inside with a grand piano and dark wood floors, tables, chairs and bar area. Ordered the chicken curry #6 on menu. Came with free chicken and rice soup. The soup was very good to be so simple. Added a little soy sauce and a bit of pepper paste set on the table and it became delicious. My chicken curry was yellow curry chicken with a coconut milk sauce, carrots, squash, and onions. Sauce was slightly sweet and slightly spicy. I really liked it. Bill was $ 12.99 with water. Service was top notch without being intrusive. Just the amount of attention I like. I would recommend and I will be back. read more
