I have ordered here maybe 10 times or so and I won't be coming back based on the last 3 times. I love the food, but terrible service. The last time I ordered "coconut water with pulp", they gave me a canned coconut water that was put into a cup and said I needed to say "whole coconut" when I order. Why are there two almost identical items on the menu?? That's confusing. Same thing happened when I ordered "basil tofu". They gave me fried rice with tofu in it? Apparently there's also basil fried rice with tofu in it. If there are similar items on the menu and the order is unclear, the restaurant should clarify when the order is placed over the phone. I will add that the restaurant remade my order (and made sure to be rude about it). Lastly, there was a hair in my most recent to-go order. WITH A FOLLICLE. I'm done here. read more

We've eaten here at least 3X over the last 6 months and our experience has been consistently positive. The dining room is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming! We've tried different dishes and always flavorful, plated attractively, and delicious. Today for lunch it was Pad Thai & Classic Salad Rolls. The Pad Thai had a unique & distinct flavor with chunks of cooked tomatoes in it. Hubby loved it. The rolls were firmly rolled & neatly stayed in place - no mess. I really liked the crushed peanuts that topped the sauce. It added another layer of crunch. Service is simple & friendly but the server did check-in on us at least 2X after she set the food & before she dropped the bill. read more

We Came here on a Monday afternoon. Really enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Now I can't compare this place to my OG Vietnamese spots in San Jose, but in the Livermore area I can say this place is pretty good. I really enjoy their rice plates and vermicelli bowls. They also have good chicken pho here. - 8/10 for rice plates, especially in the Livermore area. Would rec if you're in the area and want some good Vietnamese food. read more

Viet Noms - Combination rice plate - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

We were craving some Vietnamese food and we stumbled upon this place. It looked chill, plenty of seats, we were seated right away. We ordered BBH and a chicken and rice plate. All the food was okay. Prices were also what we expect of Livermore. The only drawback here are the diner seats can be small for bigger people. You can't move the chairs or tables. They do have bigger tables but they only had I don't remember, 2 or 3. Just FYI. read more

Viet Noms - Bun Bo Hue (Spicy Hue Beef Noodle Soup) - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

My fiancé and I were craving something soupy after a long day so we decided to try Viet Noms. The service was super quick, and the servers were very kind. I really liked the booth seating inside the restaurant. It was also very clean. Next to a lot of other businesses but still a lot of parking in the lot. The noodles were $15 for regular, $17 for large. I got the Pho Bo, which you get 3 meats of your choice which is what caught my attention because I usually only eat specific cuts. I opted for a large, got tripe, beef balls and tai (rare steak) and would say that the noodles to meat ratio was tremendously uneven. There were 4 half/2 whole meatballs, 5 half/2.5 whole slices of rare steak, and maybe 5 slices of tripe. The broth is served super hot, which could both good and bad, bad because the rare steak gets overcooked super fast so I'd recommend to skip the rare steak as it's gets tough when it's overcooked. The broth was just ok, not flavorful enough to want a sip with every bite and certainly not enough for me to want to drink soup after finishing everything else. My fiancé got the BBH and said it was just ok. He was not a fan and rated it a 3/5 as well. Not sure that we'd have Viet Noms again, considering there are better options out there but it was worth a try. read more

Delicious food. The chicken salad was a balance of flavors and texture, I liked that it had a little crunch. The Banh Khot was scrumptious with its crispy edges and soft center! The seafood pho was loaded with shrimp, calamari, and fish balls in a light, aromatic broth that didn't skimp on flavor. The vibe of the place is casual but cute, and service was quick and friendly. Great for a chill lunch or a dinner with friends. If you're looking for bold flavors, affordable eats, and a refreshing take on Vietnamese classics -- this is the spot! read more

We were looking for somewhere different to eat while in town shopping at the outlets. We were craving bhan mi. We yelped a few places and took a chance on this restaurant. Wow! My daughter loved their pork bhan mi! She said the flavor of the meat itself was delicious! And the bread, crispy and soft! I opted for the chicken bun. The grillled chicken had a good smoky, grilled flavor. The noodles and veggies were fresh and yummy! The service was spot on! Constantly making sure we had everything we need. The restaurant itself was a good size, clean and you can tell they keep it maintained pretty well! We're looking forward to coming back the next time we're in town to try their pho! Stay tuned! read more

I feel like it's rare for a restaurant to have all great dishes... but this one does. I used to have a specific pho place I would go to (when I lived in San Leandro) and another one I'd go to for banh mi's and noodle & rice plates. There just wasn't a place that had it all. This one does. The pho tai is my go to for pho and this one is delicious and perfect for when I'm feeling under the weather. That broth really heals something in me. I love a good tofu banh mi and this one is one of my favorites. The bread is always fresh. I've also gotten the rice noodle salad with grilled prawns - great flavor and well cooked. It's clean and the staff is attendant. read more

Never dined in, only done pick up, both online and in person. Both methods were super inefficient and positive. I am super boring and tend to get the same thing (ya girl likes baguettes okay) I tend to get pork or chicken bahn mi. And they are always delicious here. The salad rolls are always lovely and filling! I will keep coming back for sure! read more

Very tasty pho and ample servings. I always get large and it can be shared by two people. The salad roll with shrimp is a little dry though. read more

Viet Noms is a generally good pho spot at Livermore. I have been there for lunch several times. The broth is rich enough and the meat has good flavor. Not much complaints for Viet Noms and I'll continue stopping here every once in a while. read more

Was in the East Bay for other errands and stopped by here for lunch. We arrived late on a Thursday, around 2pm, so the restaurant was pretty empty and we were served quickly. FWIW, I don't think this place would get too crowded, the restaurant is huge with ample seating and a great, relaxed vibe. I really liked the crispy spring rolls, which were a great appetizer with the fish sauce, as well as the pho. IIRC the meat could have been a little more tender, but overall the flavor was enjoyable. Would definitely stop by again if I'm in the area, but I wouldn't drive out from the Peninsula to get it. read more

Nice clean place. Banh Khot - good but the batter is literally Banh Xeo batter, imo. Thit Nuong cuon - ok. No mints/herbs whatsoever. V food is all about the mints/herbs. Com suong nuong - ok. Steamed egg loaf is on the dry side. read more

DoorDash review: New to the area and I'm trying to find spots to put into my regular rotation. Viet Noms has been recommended by a few, and I bookmarked it for when I was in the pho mood. Ordered via DoorDash when I was stuck home with the flu. I liked how easy it was to customize my pho order- you get to select the meat options that you want just by checking boxes. Nice! I chose rare steak and brisket. I ordered the "small" pho and it was a standard regular bowl- very satisfying for one. The order came well packaged (no leakage) with broth in a sealed cup, and the noodles were packed with sprouts, basil, and jalapeños in a carton. They obviously are not prepackaged as some other spots create beforehand which causes the noodles to stay stuck together in a tight square shape and almost "melt" together when they cook (IYKYK!). The broth is SOLID. Sweet, but not too sweet, with depth and not too much salt. Excited to come again just for the broth. The meat was cut very thin with some fatty pieces, but I liked how the fine fat melted into the broth. Unlike the majority of Vietnamese restaurants across the Bay, this steak is very tender, melt in your mouth, and NOT tough. Excited to dine in when I'm feeling better! read more

Been wanting to try Viet Noms so we decided to stop by after dropping off some items to the Goodwill next door. There is a large parking lot but it's shared with multiple businesses so you may need to park a bit further and walk. I had to circle around a few times to find a spot. Restaurant was busy and we got seated right away. I ordered the bun rieu (tomato crab noodle soup with prawns) and the banh khot (mini kettle cakes). The presentation was beautiful and it was a good amount of food. Banh khot - 4/5 super crispy edges and I really liked the chewy texture in the middle. I couldn't really taste the scallion oil though Bun rieu - 3.5/5 crab & pork broth was bland and there were only two pieces of the crab/pork dumplings so that was a bit disappointing. I've had a better version of this in Pleasanton read more

Got food to go! Fresh spring rolls , seafood pho and shaking beef were all incredibly tasty! Pick up service was fast and efficient. Ambiance is very casual and clean . Will definitely be back read more

Food portions were generous and looks appetizing. Got the chicken salad Goi Ga which was huge! Crispy and refreshing, chicken was moist 4/5. Bun Bo Hue was also huge and generous. Doesn't have pork blood in it and the sliced beef was so tender it broke apart once it hit the teeth. The soup flavor was basic with nothing standing out saying yes this hits the spot. 3/5. Service was on point, always checked in on us, made sure we had water topped. Also got the Bun pork vermicelli bowl. The charr flavor was sensational in the noodles and the pork. It was missing the honey glaze to give it that extra shine or sweetness 3/5. I think all the dishes have potential to be exceptional. Every dish seemed like it was missing some flavor. read more

Friendly staff and quick service. I really enjoyed the banh khot! It was so good! Lightly crispy and tasty with the fish sauce. I ordered the pho Bo w/ brisket and meatball.

When I'm craving hit-the-spot Vietnamese food, I go straight to Viet Noms. Some of my favorite dishes are the Vermicelli bowls and the Shaking beef. Parking: located in the same plaza of Trader Joe's. Parking can be tricky but I've always found a spot eventually. Grilled Beef Vermicelli Bowl: I think one of the most important parts of a good vermicelli bowl is well-seasoned and perfectly grilled meat. The beef was just that and there was a generous portion of it. I love eating this at lunch because I always walk away full and satisfied but not to the point where I want to take a nap. The fish sauce is delicious and I highly recommend just pouring all of it all over for best taste! Shaking Beef (Bo loc lac): this dish was a little pricey at $20 but I can see why. The beef was tender and the sauce it was cooked in was perfect. The rice was tasty too and not too overpowering since the beef had all the flavor. Surprisingly I haven't tried the pho here yet but I will soon! I saw a lot of people order the Thai tea and it looks so good. Until next time! read more

I love coming here for lunch and getting the pho with vegetables and tofu. It comes packed with veggies and perfectly fried tofu, if you check in you get 50% off a drink with the purchase of an entree. The service is quick and half of the servers are very friendly. The other half not so much. Ambiance is simple, but nice inside. Plenty of room, I've never had to wait to get a table. read more

So, we came in with (4) a party, clean looking, & very attentive staff. The food (that was served) was "Very" fresh, & tasty, reasonably priced (by today's definition ). We don't go out much, but this place is worth, coming back to. Thank you read more

Service was quick, we ordered two Pho Bo (brisket & flank). I love pho it's always a pleasure but something was off. I look at the pieces of meat and they were mainly fatty and looked like long tendons or tripe which we didn't order. We ended up picking out all the long fatty pieces and left most of the broth since it was riddled with fat pieces. Sad experience with pho read more

Livermore doesn't have a lot of pho options. This place is more consistent compared to the other places in town. The brisket was a little chewy ans the broth was darker than anticipated for being a viet restaurant. Thai ice tea is eh. It had a powdery taste for some reason, and tea wasn't black/caffeinated enough. Pro: dining inside was clean. Con: no chili oil, unless you ask for it. They also don't have pickled jalapeños you'd normally find in a viet place. read more

Pretty good pho. Location: This restaurant is located in a plaza that offers a good amount of free parking. Its not too packed in the plaza so finding parking is not a big issue. All their dining options are indoor. Food: The food here was pretty good. I will say coming from South Bay, I have had better pho for cheaper but overall the broth an stuff was pretty good. I tried their rice plates which I think are better than their pho and one of the better places I have had rice plates at. I always get their spring rolls and they are also pretty good. Service: Service was fast. You get seated quick, your order comes out quick, and they will bring you the check right away. Its a good place to eat if you want a sit down restaurant but limited on time. Overall, their food is pretty good and fairly priced. read more

Found my new favorite Vietnamese restaurant! We go to Trader Joe's often, so I'm surprised I pass up this restaurant every time. I was craving banh mi so we stopped by and had a great experience. First thing I noticed is that the restaurant is very clean and organized. The service was great and staff are prompt with bringing you items you order or ask for. To drink, we got Vietnamese iced coffee which was really tasty! To eat, we ordered classic (prawn) salad rolls and 2 chicken banh mi. Everything was so tasty. The food was fresh and arrived quickly. We also ordered the mango mousse cake and fried banana spring rolls for dessert. The mousse cake was great, but I'd skip the spring rolls next time. They were good but a little heavy for a post-dinner treat. Pricing is also very good, so if you're looking for an affordable quick dinner, look no further. Overall we had a great experience and will be back. read more

It's been some time since we've eaten there, and the disappointment still lingers. All the food we ordered was bland and uninteresting. The atmosphere is equally uninspired. Most egregiously, all the surfaces were slightly sticky from a towel over saturated in cleanser. Our waitress was pleasant, and the food came out in a timely fashion--so that's the good news. I was waiting to write a review, hoping that a second visit might improve my opinion. Alas, I have no desire to return. Three stars is fair based on our one experience, but quite honestly I was quite tempted to go with two stars. I want all the restaurants in that center succeed, so maybe don't be too discouraged. Go there, look at their menu, check 'em out, and form your own first opinion. If you're not feeling it, you have a couple of tasty options close by. It's at least worth the effort to check them out yourself, I think. read more

Viet Noms - Shaking beef more like shaking onions - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

I can't believe I have not yet left a review for Viet Noms. My family & I have been regulars since 2021. On average, we eat here once a week. The food is consistently delicious (especially the spring rolls) and the staff is friendly and welcoming. In particular, Yuri (sp?) who goes out of her way to prepare my son's rice plate to his liking. I find that they are really good at following special instructions such as removing cilantro and green onions from the dish. In addition, the restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. In the 3+ years I've been coming here, I have never had a bad meal or dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

2nd time we have eaten here. 1st time - dine in. This time - take out. We ordered Chicken Wings and 2 orders of Pad Thai. Chicken Wings - tasted like yesterday's wings. Drier than a popcorn fart. We love Chicken Wings. These are some of the worst we have had in recent times. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Avoid. Pad Thai - everything overcooked, also dry. Noodles all glopped together. Not very flavorful. Quantity was very large - but with lack of flavor - not looking forward to the leftovers. Coconut Water - outstanding. read more

Really nice ambience/interior with spacious seating. Good service too. I got the rare beef pho which is my go-to. Good portion of beef, but the noodles were kind of clumped together and the broth wasn't stand out. I would come back though! read more

Viet Noms - Vietnamese Near Me - Livermore, California

Vietnamese food isn't normally my jam, but Viet Noms has dishes that I've enjoyed very much. Owned by the same family as the excellent Canton Village a few doors down. The Wife loves this place, so we stopped by for lunch recently. She ordered a rice noodle bowl with tofu (sorry I don't have the proper names handy) while I got an eggplant curry. I dove into it so fast, I forgot to take a picture first - horrors! The Wife is not fond of fish sauce, so they furnished a vegetarian version of their scallion oil. They have a short wine list, but there's always a white wine that I enjoy. Our waiter Jake was particularly helpful, as he is at Canton Village. One more note- they play a great mix of 80s tunes, in this bright, sunny location. Nice to know there are delicious options available for me in a place I'd normally not visit on my own. read more
