    Danville was desperately in need of a good vietnamese restaurant and Kibi's delivered. Family owned with friendly staff, super clean restaurant and most importantly good food. I recommend the shrimp rolls and the pho. Meatballs were a bit tough but in willing to look past it.

    Grilled Pork Summer Rolls
    Regina N.

    We randomly stopped by here to grab Vietnamese sandwiches after walking on the nearby trail. Although this is a chain, this location seems small biz family owed. Banh Mi Dac Biet 4/5* The banh mi is smaller than I'm used to, but I could already tell it would be delicious by the bubbles on the toasted baguette. The bread was so crunchy and perfect contrast to the soft cold cuts. The pickled veggies were sweet and sour, but I thought there was too many carrots. There were A LOT of carrots. Overall great combination of flavors inside a perfectly baked baguette. Grilled Pork Summer Rolls 3/5* This was just ok. I usually eat the shrimp rolls but decided to try something new. The grilled pork is the same type of grilled pork you'd get in a banh mi, which I thought was a bit dry and too crumbly for a summer roll. The veggies were fresh and crisp. Overall though, there wasn't much flavor. The fish sauce, though, that came with the summer rolls were 5/5*. It was sweet and savory with umami flavor. I like my fish sauce on the sweeter side and this one had a nice balance, not too salty. Vietnamese Iced Coffee 4/5* Viet coffee always hits the spot. This one isn't as strong as some of the others I've tried, which is nice for an afternoon pick me up. There's tons of seating and the decor is simple yet cute. I wish I had tried the pho because it smelled amazing while we were eating there. Water is self-service and there was a little trolley with tons of condiments. Great place for a quick and healthy meal.

    She wanted either Bahn Mi or some kind of soup for lunch. We checked YELP and found Kibi's wasn't that far away. The ratings are quite high and supposedly, it allows dogs! It's located in a small strip mall in a space formerly occupied by Ike's Love & Sandwiches. We were disappointed to see that they did not have any tables and chairs outside. Fellow Yelpers, please be careful when checking the box on allowing dogs. California, Oregon and Washington all allow Service Dogs inside restaurants but not pets unless there is outdoor seating which does not require walking through the restaurant. And no, I'm not going to slap a Service Animal vest on my dog just so she can go inside. I waited outside with the dog while my wife went inside to order. We had already reviewed the menu on my phone and knew what we wanted. The line was short and the service excellent. Our order was put together quickly and our sandwiches cut in 1/2 as requested. What we got was fresh and delicious. Definitely another place that we'll return to when we're in the area. Apparently, they're in Walnut Creek and Orinda as well so we'll have to go see if they're just as good.

    Grilled Pork Noodle Salad (4 stars) - pork very gingery, but lacking the caramelization and texture of truly grilled pork
    Daniel C.

    Vietnamese cuisine has finally arrived in Danville! San Ramon and Dublin of course have tons of Vietnamese cuisine, from elevated places like Slanted Door to more authentic hole-in-wall places. Vietnamese cuisine is great if you like texture contrasts, incorporation of fresh and pickled veggies, and of course cuisine centered around beef, pork, shrimp, or chicken. Kibi's cafe offers fast casual Vietnamese food that I would say accessible for the broader clientele, who might be wary of tendons, tripes, and cubes of pork-blood (common in spicy BBH). I came here with the wife on a lunch date and we got two well-executed dishes: No 46 Pho is a combo of meatballs, brisket, and thin slices of filet in a hearty beef broth. There's only one size and they have an excellent helping of meat, noodles, and beef broth. Noodles had great texture, meats were juicy, and the broth was superb. Neither oily nor overly salty. Its almost borderline sweet. The Bun here is served as a deconstructed noodle salad, instead of a well-mixed bowl. Fresh veggies, crunchy peanuts, and in my case some juicy, gingery pork. I liked the dish overall, but I was expecting grilled pork to be the firmer thin pieces with actual grill marks and caramelization. Kibi's also offers a range of banh mi, Vietnamese Coffees, and spring rolls with different fillings. No rice plates, which is fine since going low-carb is great every now and then.

    Solid lunch with my sons today! An incredible meal and the Phô was delicious, savory and well worth the $18.50 for #46!

    Pho Tai and Vietnamese Coffee
    Audrey C.

    I visited Kibi's Cafe in Danville last week, and I'm still thinking about how amazing it was. You can truly feel that it's a loving, family-owned business. The care and pride they put into their food and service really shows. The pho was incredible. The broth had the perfect balance of rich umami, just the right amount of fat, and a depth of spices that made every sip comforting and flavorful. It was packed with tender slices of meat, silky rice noodles, and topped with fresh herbs like Thai basil, crisp bean sprouts, lime, and jalapeños that brought everything together beautifully. It tasted slow-simmered and authentic, exactly what you want from a great bowl of pho. The staff were superb!! So warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also tried the Vietnamese coffee, which was very strong and a bit on the sweeter side, but still really enjoyable and paired well with the meal. I had just come from a not-so-great experience next door at The Melt, so I really appreciated how Kibi's completely turned my day around. It ended up being such a refreshing and memorable stop. I'd highly recommend stopping by and supporting this wonderful small business:) You can really taste the love in every dish. They also have another location in Walnut Creek that I often pass by, so I'm excited to check that one out too!

    customer service needs work The kitchen is visible. The staff needs to be more mindful about shady behavior, and rude comments about customers. Vietnamese coffee 2/5 Shrimp, spring rolls 4/5 peanut sauce was the best part. I also ordered the pork Heo nuong extra veggies, 5/5 . The bread was fresh. Pork wasn't dry fortunately won't be back though I don't spend my money anywhere when people are unkind

    Vegan fresh spring roll
    Andrew E.

    Unquestionably 5 Stars. Delicious, fresh food. My tofu banh mi was fantastic, perfect bread/crisp. Extra veggies added = great value. My wife and daughter loved the pho, nice meats and not overly salty. The fresh spring roll was absolutely perfect was well. Options for vegetarian/vegan and meat eaters- perfect combo. Service was very polite and quick. Shop is nice, clean, well lit. I have been going to the location in Walnut Creek for a while so very happy that this new spot more than lived up to expectations. Will be back soon!

    Pork banh mi
    Sally A.

    So excited to see this location open up closer to me! I always order bánh mì when I need something filling and quick. It's affordable and delicious. The bread is fresh and perfectly toasted. The turmeric and lemongrass grilled chicken sandwich is my favorite and is super flavorful. There's plenty of seating inside and you can order ahead and customize online! I look forward to trying the other menu items.

    Bun
    Debbie F.

    Food is fantastic here! Everything is fresh and perfectly seasoned. The fresh shrimp rolls come with a yummy peanut sauce. The sandwiches come in this amazing bread which has crunch on the outside and soft chewy inside. The Bun salad was so delicious Great service also.

    Soft opening today! Clean, nice employees and excellent food. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options !

We were seated immediately. Beautiful and spacious inside, customer service was good. We had the yellowtail for the appetizer (yummy!) and the chicken vermicelli and the lemongrass pork chop for our mains. The chicken was nice and tender with a nice char. Plenty of vegetables. Dipping sauce included. I asked for chili oil and they said they charge $3 for it. I have never heard of such thing. The lemongrass pork chop tasted good as well, nice sear to it and it was tender. No dipping sauce included, we had to ask for it. I wanted a Diet Coke but they said they don't serve sodas, only sparkling waters (I believe flavored ones). So we opted for just water instead. Our server was friendly and attentive. When the bill came I was surprised they automatically added a 20% tip for a party of 2. You don't normally see that for small parties, I also don't remember seeing it on the menu, maybe I overlooked it. Overall this was a nice place to have lunch, for the price point, however, I was expecting more flavor and bigger servings. It was definitely good but nothing spectacular. We paid $100 for 2 people including 1 iced coffee. I was told by my companion the iced coffee was okay. This place is at the lot so plenty of parking.
