It was late and we were in the mood for pho! Vietopia Bistro in Draper saved the day by being open until 9PM! So we hustled and made it over there with plenty of time to sit and enjoy our food without staying past closing. I left with mixed feelings... The food was okay but the rest of the experience wasn't great. The kid at the front was on his phone with AirPods in and didn't notice us when we first walked in. When the calamari arrived at the table, we laughed a little because it literally looked like it had been thrown on the plate. And the pho left a bit to be desired. However, it did curb our pho cravings and we were grateful they were open later than other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. But I probably won't be back anytime soon. read more

The service was horrible from the moment we walked in, I asked if they were open because no one was there. I wasn't sure if they were their break or not, and the guy standing in the kitchen looked at me like I was dumb for even asking pointing at the door like "well you walked in here" type of energy. It was also dirty at the entrance which should've been the key point in leaving and not even eating in the first place then I would've saved my self $60. Honestly this place was disgusting I found not one but 3 hairs between two phos. The pho on top of that was lukewarm which can't be safe if they're putting raw meats with it right ? The meatballs were also the worst I've ever had in all the Vietnamese restaurants I've been to in SLC. The rice and orange chicken were hard and the fries were soft like it had all just been sitting out and they only had the courtesy of reheating it for us. read more

I got the deconstructed filet banh mi. It came with a sliced filet in a dipping sauce with eggs and veggies on top. I was surprised at how much I loved it. I made sure to get every drop of the sauce. The guy behind the counter was very helpful to walk me through the menu. read more

Vietopia Bistro - Vietnamese Near Me - Draper, Utah

They have opened this new location recently and I'm very glad to have another amazing bistro place near home! The restaurant is pretty big, at the back of the restaurant the tables have beautiful view of the valley. The service was slow, but the young gentleman who was serving us was very new and was going through training. We tried 4 different items and all of them were delicious. The portion size was good and ever dish had enough meats/seafoods. Very clean restaurant with abandoned parking spots at the front. Will definitely come back to try out their other dishes. read more

It was alright. It was too salty. We had ramen but i didn't even want to take the leftovers home. Food was not that great. I wouldn't go back to this restaurant read more

Ok.... Mixed review here. Pretty good food. But, not very clean. Definitely lacking an opening and closing check list. I was first customer and bathroom had been attended to. Front door is down right filthy. That being said, Hot and spicy soup is 5 stars! Spring roll had old dry pork so I didn't eat it. Pho was really authentic tasting. Service is good and Very friendly. I'd like to see them thrive. But, first impressions really do count. read more

Best Pho around. We love this place. Literally we drive past 5 other Pho places in the way here. It's that good!

Finally...a Pho restaurant close to my home here in south Sandy! Excellent! On a whim, I did a recent search for Pho as I was having a craving for the soup. Suddenly this place came up at the site of a former Thai restaurant...and minutes from my home. I met my wife here and we had a very nice experience (we were the only ones in the restaurant besides our server, Henry N, and the kitchen staff. My wife had the #7A Fried Crab Rangoon appetizer and the #40R House Special Combination Rice Platter...and she enjoyed both (I thought maybe Vietnamese food would be too spicy for her for some reason...) I started with the #2A Spring Rolls and peanut dipping sauce...and had the #19P Rare Steak and Meatball Pho! Yum! Henry refilled the pepper oil with some more oil (my favorite hot sauce) and my spring rolls were delish. The soup didn't have the "typical" (?) Pho flavor but was still very good, and after throwing all of the bean sprouts and Asian basil leaves in the mix, and adding some of the pepper oil and what is similar to Hoisin sauce, my soup was perfect. What really surprised me was the green chilis (Bird's Eye chilis...or "ot hiem"...literally, "dangerous chili") sliced into rings there on the side. Those were some hot peppers! Probably the hottest I've ever had with Pho. I only could eat about half of these bad boys as they were indeed too hot for even my palate...and I love hot peppers! Dang! So, a very nice dinner there and some great service from Henry N made it a nice experience. We hope to be back soon for some more delicacies and hope that Vietopia thrives. Four Stars for good food and service. read more

Very good fried rice and egg rolls. Waiter very friendly and efficient. We'll be back for sure!

Tried this place for the first time and I thought it was ok in general. The rare steak pho was ok, I have had better at other restaurants. The pho bowl and condiments were substantial and filling. My daughter's House Special Combination plate was a lot as well. Her plate was a huge portion of white rice with a fried egg, grilled pork, shrimps, an egg roll and a large salad, accompanied by Nước Chấm. The pork, shrimp and veggies on her plate were very good. One factor that made me take some stars off is the condition of the bathroom. It was very filthy. The dining area doesn't look as bad. The waiter was responsive but we were the only ones at the time. read more

Was so excited to try this place but unfortunately, food was not great. Pretty average and doesn't have much (if any) Vietnamese flavor. Too much sugar in every dish. We came for dinner on a Friday night and the whole place was empty...literally no other customers in the restaurant the whole time we were there. Wonder how long they'd last... read more

I ordered door dash so maybe that was my bad but - the pho was very very bland. The fresh spring rolls had what seemed to be very old meat and I now have a stomach ache. read more

Pretty basic vietnamese. The pho was decent, though not particularly flavorful. Good service,

When you first walk in, the place smelled like the bathroom. We were on a time crunch so we decided to still give it a try. We got a rice dish and a pho dish. The meat was terrible. It had a crumbly texture and a weird taste. The pho was also disappointing, soggy noodles and watered down soup. The place was not busy at the time we went, around 5, but it took way too long to get out order in, get our food and our check. When we went to the restrooms, there were no soap or paper to wash and your hands! This was in both men and women bathrooms. This was a definite no for us. I would've given it a zero star if I could. read more

Vietopia Bistro - Outside - Vietnamese Near Me - Draper, Utah

I placed an order to go. Being from S. California, I wasn't expecting much. To my surprise, the vermicelli dish (bbq pork and egg roll) was very tasty! The egg roll had crispy texture, and vermicelli was still warm. I would definitely try other dishes when I return to Salt Lake City. read more

Great food, service and ambiance! Definitely coming back! Had the coconut shrimp and pho read more

LOVE this place. The pho is incredible and the fried rice tastes so authentic. They have some of the best Thai tea too!

First time trying Vietopia, we ordered the pork vermicelli with egg roll. The flavor was fabulous, and a generous portion. We will look forward to going back again. read more

I don't leave a lot of food reviews, but feel like I need to here. I eat Pho regularly and must say that the pho here was a huge disappointment. My wife and I ordered two bowls of Pho Tai (Rare beef). First, the pho bowls were small(child portion). For $13.95, I was shocked how small the portion was. Then the herb plates were also small and not fresh. To me, the fresh herbs plate make pho so aromatic and satisfying like a savory tea soup base. The basil looks like it had sat in the fridge for a long time (many leaves were dead and black) and the bean sprouts were brown and wilting. The cut limes had obviously been sliced previously as the wedges were dried out. By the look of the herbs plate, it looked like it had been prepared and placed in a refrigerator for scale and easy removal. I was shocked that our waitress even brought it out to us. Perhaps she's never seen fresh basil or bean sprouts before? I felt bad as the restaurant was clearly understaffed too. There was one person cooking and one person trying to deal with customers and takeout orders. With so many great places in town to get delicious pho, this place is not one of them. Maybe the other cooked dishes are better but the pho is not good. It's unfortunate this beautiful restaurant cannot deliver on one of the staples of Vietnamese cuisine. read more

Delicious chicken lo mein, ham fried rice, pho, spring rolls, fried tofu. This is one of our favorite local restaurants. Great location as well. read more

Vietopia Bistro - Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Draper, Utah

This new bistro serves up very fresh Vietnamese cuisine. It is delicious and well done. They are located in the old café train building in Draper Utah up on Draper Parkway. We highly recommend the pho and rice and noodle plates! The food they serve, is very fresh read more

Somehow I've never seen this place tucked away in the Walmart Neighborhood Market parking lot. We were in the mood for some pho, and jumped on yelp to see if there was any nearby. I'd never heard of Vietopia before so when I saw it was less than a mile from my house, we had to try it. We ordered takeout and it was ready in 15 min. When I went to pick it up, Calais was really nice, friendly and helpful. Not many people inside, but it might be because the place is pretty new and the previous restaurant (cafe Trang) had been in that space for a long time, so it's gone a little unnoticed. The food was great! Pho was full of flavor and I was happy that even the takeout was made so you could put the rare steak in the broth to cook to your liking. I preferred the rare steak to the cooked brisket or the meatball. We also ordered the house noodles with chicken, it was loaded with chicken and veggies Im a rich sauce, which we devoured as well. The spring rolls were super fresh and delicious, but we only had one piece of shrimp between the two rolls, so that could be improved on. Will definitely go back and eat in the restaurant next time and try a few more things on the menu. So happy to have a great Vietnamese/Pho place so close to home. If you're in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, give them a try! read more

They I have one veggie option, the tofu banh mi and it's okay. The best thing about it was the sweet potato fries.

I don't know if our server was new or having a bad day, but we will probably not be going back as a result of this gentleman. We went in around 11:45, got seated then looked over the menu. When our waiter came by to get our drink order I asked a couple questions about the menu and the waiter looked at me like I was dumb for asking a question. I brushed it off, who knows I could have asked a redundant question. But when he came back and asked for our orders again was dismissive and acted like I was somehow offending him by giving him my order. Low key I was stunned that I was having an interaction like this with a server. So, I asked if a manager was on staff. He said no and walked away, when he brought our food by I asked for the managers number. He went and wrote the managers number down, after I pressed him for the managers number he was friendlier... the rest of the time. I contemplated calling the manager, but ultimately I decided to chop it up to a possible language barrier or a bad day. I'm writing this review so other people can be informed. read more

So disappointed with this place - the worst Vietnamese egg roll I've ever had and the Bun was tiny - more like an appetizer. I couldn't eat it - it was terrible. I've been eating this dish for years and I've not seen such a bad version. read more

Over priced and food was just ok, the egg rolls for sure seemed store bought. The gentleman that served us was nice and attentive. There was a sound of what sounded like a swamp cooler, that was annoying. read more

The food isn't as great, the pho broth comes very luke warm and not hot. They are always out of vegetables when we go. Egg rolls are basically the only good there there. read more

Great food, great service, great prices! The menu is diverse, loaded with great choices. The decor is lacking, but the food and service make up for it. read more

We stopped by for lunch - curious to see what replaced café Treng. My mom and I both got the sandwich which was one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've had. The bread was soft and the ratio of meet, sauce and veggies just right. And - the best part - the sandwiches come work sweet potato fries and yummy dipping sauce. Highly recommend. Will try the Bun noodle salad next time. read more

Hands down the worst banh mi I've ever had, terrible bread and a tiny portion of meat and that was all that was on it, just meat and bread. The egg rolls were the size of a crayon and flavorless, and the house special noodle was bland. The smoothie even tasted like they accidentally made a coffee in the cup first. read more

we tried this place because it was closer than our normal pho spot and we didn't really enjoy it. The meat didn't taste very good, and the broth was not as good as other places though I will admit broth preference is subjective. read more

Great pho, great service, and reasonably priced! Definitely one of my favorites.

The service was fast. The food was delicious and the staff are very nice. The fried calamari was crispy and cooked perfectly. The pork and egg roll vermicelli was good and the spicy beef and vegetable soup was fantastic. If you're in the place for good vietnamese this is what you want. read more

Recent became my favorite Vietnamese pho place in town! Really love their Vietnamese hot&spicy noodle soup! Never had it anywhere else. Highly recommended if you have handle medium level of spicy. read more

Decent sized portions, except Bahn Mi. Overall, mild/bland flavor. Chicken in dish had a good texture. Bahn Mi underwhelming compared to other options in Draper. A little sad when some said the sweet potato fries were the highlight (likely Simplot). read more

Not nearly as good as Cafe Trang that used to be here. I'm really sad they sold the place. Cafe Trang was run by Chinese and Vietnamese, you could tell by the taste. When we walked into Vietopia today all of the cooks and servers were Hispanic and the food doesn't taste like authentic Asian food at all. Much too sweet, American ingredients, weird textures. The servers at Vietopia bistro were super nice though. Just bad tasting food read more
