Having already offered up some quality restaurant options for anyone craving Chinese or Thai, it seemed appropriate to once again turn our attention back to Asian cuisine. From pho to banh cuon and authentic to fusion, the following restaurants each serve up quality Vietnamese fare. Here are 13 of the best Vietnamese restaurants from across the country.
Broward-Palm Beach
Pho 78
Walking into a Vietnamese restaurant can be intimidating. You’re probably there for a bowl of pho, the delectable rice noodle soup that is the country’s national dish, but what type of pho should you get? So many restaurants prepare pho so many different ways… even if you’ve had it before…More >>

Mai’s Vietnamese Restaurant
How do we love Mai’s? Let us count the burn scars on the roofs of our mouths from all the times we couldn’t wait to dig into our chicken clay pot because it smelled too damn yummy. Yeah, we’re stupid that way, especially when it comes to Mai’s fiery baked blend of vermicelli noodles, black…More >>

Sung Son Vietnamese Bistro
More than just the eighth wonder of the world, the all-you-can-eat buffet is as American as apple pie and as easy to come by as ranch dressing. But finding one that consistently serves up quantity and quality can be an elusive endeavor. Which is why the buffet at Sung Son in Westport is such a…More >>
