If you're looking to try different Vietnamese dishes, come to Yen Viet and you won't be disappointed! I tried the bun bo hue, banh canh, banh bot chien, and nem nuong spring rolls and everything was delicious. The soups were flavorful, the rice cakes in the banh bot chien were crispy, and the nem nuong rolls were fresh. This place literally felt like you were dining in someone's home, so comforting. read more

YEN Viet Kitchen - Bun Bo hue and banh canh - Vietnamese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

After moving to Las Vegas from the San Gabriel Valley--arguably one of the best places for authentic Asian food--I've definitely been on the hunt for spots that can live up to that standard. Yen Viet Kitchen is one of those rare finds. My wife specifically wanted to come here to try the bánh canh cua, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and comforting, with that signature seafood depth you expect from a well-made bowl. I ordered the bánh cuốn and nem cuốn, and both were excellent. The bánh cuốn had that delicate, silky texture with flavorful filling, and the nem cuốn were fresh, clean, and well-balanced--exactly what you'd hope for. What I really appreciate about this place is how authentic the food feels. It's not overly modernized or watered down--it tastes like the kind of dishes you'd find at a traditional Vietnamese spot rather than something trendy or fusion-focused. If you're someone who knows good Vietnamese food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. It's always a great feeling to find a place in Vegas that delivers that level of authenticity. read more

YEN Viet Kitchen - Banh canh cua on top, nem cuon to the right, banh cuon to the bottom. - Vietnamese Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

If you're looking for a Vietnamese spot that actually hits, Yen Kitchen is one of those places you don't just try once you come back to make sure it wasn't a fluke... and it isn't. From the moment you walk in, there's a balance of modern comfort and authentic Vietnamese soul. It's clean, welcoming, and doesn't try too hard which honestly makes the food stand out even more. You can tell right away this isn't one of those watered-down spots. The food is where Yen Kitchen really earns its reputation. The pho is rich, layered, and slow-simmered the way it should be--deep flavor without being greasy, and every bite feels intentional. The banh mi? Crisp on the outside, soft inside, packed with flavor and perfectly balanced. Even the smaller dishes--like spring rolls or rice plates--feel like they were made with care, not rushed out of a kitchen. What makes it worth coming back (and then coming back again) is consistency. First visit, you're impressed. Second visit, you realize it wasn't luck--they really cook like this every time. That's rare. Service is another strong point. It's friendly without being overbearing, quick without making you feel rushed. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or actually sitting down to enjoy your meal, it works both ways. Bottom line: Yen Kitchen isn't just a "good Vietnamese spot"--it's one of those places you start recommending to people without even thinking about it. If you're debating whether it's worth the stop... it is. And it's worth the return trip too. read more

It was my first time here what I really liked was they had a small menu one page front and back. We walked in my first impression was that it was the first noodle place that wasn't so loud, compared to the other Vietnamese restaurants I tried. They had nice colored tiles and wall decor that matched. They had a men and women separated restrooms which was kept cleaned. For appetizers We ordered their egg rolls. It wasn't as meaty as the ones Ive had at other Vietnamese restaurants. I wish' they gave more than 2 pieces of lettuce. Sauce was the same your ordinary fish sauce with sugar mixture. I had their bon bo hue tasted like the norm. I wish they boiled their tendon longer because it wasn't chewable at all. Their banh canh was also okay I noticed their soup portions were smaller than the normal as well. read more

My son recommended this place which he has on his to try list. I saw this place has high ratings. Also, we ran into the famous restaurant owner of Lotus; I figured it must be good here. Banh Canh noodle soup was a new dish for me, thick tapioca noodles like udon. Soup was great tub. Banh Knot was crunchy and tender with perfect shrimp. Spring roll was fine, the sauce has lots of roasted peanuts and garlic chips, so good. read more

My husband and I were craving pho and decided to try this place out. It's in a little area right after the S Decatur and spring mountain intersection. We both ordered their steak and meatball pho. Although I was whopping they had more pho options. It was some good tasting pho. The egg rolls were great. The passion fruit drink was a great mix. The coconut water was good, but the coconut meat tasted old. Other than that, the overall experience was good. Staff were pretty attentive. The ambiance was nice and cozy. read more

Came here for the banh canh cua and it sufficiently satisfied my craving. The broth was thick and flavorful and the noodles had good bite. My only complaint is that there is barely any crab in a dish that is essentially named "udon crab soup." This is a no frills Vietnamese restaurant with authentic Vietnamese dishes. The service was good, and the food came out fast. Great for a quick lunch! read more

Yen Viet Kitchen - My New Favorite Vietnamese Spot This little hole-in-the-wall has quickly become my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in town. The food here is some of the most authentic I've had--made by Vietnamese cooks who clearly know what they're doing. Service is quick, but that's partly because the restaurant is usually on the quieter side. My top picks are the Bánh Canh and Bột Chiên. The bột chiên is perfectly crunchy with a light, balanced sauce--not overwhelming like many versions I've tried elsewhere. The bánh canh broth is thick, flavorful, and loaded with crab meat, easily outshining what you'd find at most pho places. The shop itself is small with a very typical Vietnamese-restaurant vibe. I even brought my mom here, and she loved her dishes too--which says a lot. One thing I'd skip: the Bún Bò Huế. It just doesn't live up to the rest of the menu. read more

Flavors were great and authentic taste. Very disappointed on how much meat is provided in the dishes. I ordered the bun bo hue and bun rieu. Both dishes skimped on meat a lot. Excessive amount of noodles though. For the bun bo hue there was 3 small slices of beef, 2 small pieces of cha lua. The bun rieu had one small crab meat ball.Again great quality food but very slim with meat portions. There a handful of great vietnamese places in town that dont skimp on meat. read more

Authentic Vietnamese food with fast service in a small but clean space. Yen Viet Kitchen is in a small strip mall in Chinatown; not too far from strip hotels. This was our third time and I would say the food is satisfying and comforting. We ordered banh uot, bun rieu, chao long, and noodles with grilled pork and egg rolls. Portions are not humongous but they are adequate for the price point. Give this place a try. read more

I finally got to try this place out! I always see it but never got the chance to check it out till now. I came here to try out my all time fave Vietnamese dish banh cuon. (Didn't get a photo of it unfortunately only the banh xeo bc I demolished it quickly lol) To start off, the service was ok. Server was nice but she seemed to be occupied (it wasn't busy) with other things, was barely there, and took our orders wrong. We ordered banh xeo as our appetizer first then banh cuon for me but she immediately walked away quickly without letting my friend order their food so they had walk up to her at the register to tell her. When our food arrived, they gave us 2 banh cuon, no banh xeo, and my friend's soup. Which we only ordered one banh cuon, one banh xeo, and the soup. But thankfully she fixed our orders when I let her know it was one banh cuon and banh xeo not 2. Reviewing the food part, it was very good. My banh cuon came first before the banh xeo and I ate it up so fast lol. What I really liked was their chili oil or paste or sauce? Whichever it was hahaha but it was hotttttttt. So I definitely recommend to not use too much of it bc the heat kicks in but it was so gooddddd. Overall, this is such a good spot I'm glad I got to try it out. I'll definitely be back here and hope the service would be a bit better the next time I go. Check this place out if you're looking for banh cuon since not many places in Vegas have them! read more

Great food!! One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants in Vegas. They have much more than the typical Viet food that's all over Vegas.

Solid lunch experience. Headed over after landing at the airport. It was not crowded and there was plenty of parking. The menu was thorough and had some new items that we were excited to try. The service was attentive and food came out quickly. Would definitely return! read more

Legit joint - you know is good when only viet ppl are there and they speak vietnamese to you when serving you Pho - tastes home made, not overly MSG'd or 5-spice powdered, fresh veggies Bun nem nuong cha gio - nem nuong was garlicky and tasty - cha gio was fragrant and had plenty of wood ear mushroom in it - noodles were pretty good and didn't taste like the plastic packaging , and felt freshly boiled Lotus salad - crunchy, refreshing, a crowd pleaser Had to keep it vanilla in terms of ordering as my dad is a picky Chinese Cambodian guy and my 2 year old toddler had requested noodles. I would love to come back for the banh cahn, bahn khot, bahn xeo and mi quang one day to see how it compares to so cal Service was friendly Atmosphere was clean and homey and family friendly Though I live in the bay and go to socal often, I'd return here if I was in the area definitely and bring my non picky or vietnamese family members with me! read more

No wait and fast service on a Saturday around 10am. Mi quang tasted authentic but was given Thai basil instead of mint. Banh khot portion was big but not enough lettuce given and again was given Thai basil instead of mint. Had to ask for extra lettuce and for mint. Mostly Vietnamese diners so the food must be good and it was. Just small things could be improved. I wish the mi quang had some slices of fancy pork and pieces of pork hocks but I get that everyone makes mi quang differently. The mi quang here is also more soupy. read more

This restaurant is located in the next parking lot next to saffron. It's small but the name is largely printed on the building. We were greeted immediately and the lady owner is very kind and hospitable. The restaurant was moderately busy and clean. We sat in the back and immediately were served water but it tasted unfiltered which was not great. I ordered a passion fruit juice, which was lovely and fresh. We then ordered the Mi quang chicken soup and crispy egg rolls and the all meat soup called Pho Dac Biet. The crispy egg rolls paired nicely with the dipping fish sauce but the meat did not have an overwhelming flavor. The turmeric in the quang soup was as great! And the flat noodles were fresh and tasty. I would order it again. The beef noodle soup was okay. It lacked some flavor in the broth and I was not a fan of the meatballs but the meat was very good. Overall the food is good and I would definitely try the quang soup again. It was unclear what part of Vietnam the family comes from but these traditional dishes should be tried. Enjoy! read more

This place is easy to miss since it is next to a big plaza full of other asian restaurants and oneof the major Asian Markets (SF Market or Thuận Phát), same plaza as Tous Le Jours, 888 bbq, Specialty Noodles. The place is cute and small but flavors are big here! The decor is simple, cute and down to earth. Not over the top with busy decoration like some Vietnamese restaurants. They do have stacks of boxes near the bathroom though and if that's cleared out, it would probably look better. But anyhoo, it wasn't overly chaotic, so we overlooked that since space is limited, I am sure. We ordered the following: 1. Bánh Xèo: the crepe is flavorful and you can really taste the coconut in it, making it very rich. The shrimp, pork and bean sprouts are added to the crepe. I wished the pork and shrimp were incorporated into the batter (the way it is made traditionally) but the flavors were good, fresh and tasty. I rate it an 8 out of 10. 2. Bánh canh (udon noodle soup): My wife liked this and I thought it was better than most places. The udon noodles were soft but not mushy. The broth is flavorful. The protein were good and the ratio of noodles to broth were just perfect she said. She gave it an 8 out of 10. 3. Bún (Vermicelli) with eggrolls and nem nướng: The flavor of the eggrolls were great and thênm nướng was on the sweet side (southerners make them sweeter). The ratio of all the herbs, noodles, proteins, roasted peanuts and fried shallots were all good. A solid 8 out of 10. Their fish sauce (nước mắm) is good but more on the southern which tends to be more sweet side for my preference but still good once I added the fresh chilis and siracha. Overall, a solid place for good Vietnamese food. Their menu is limited and I saw a couple of dishes that I hadn't seen at other Vietnamese restaurants which I will try next time. I also like and respect that they focus on limited dishes and make them well rather than a large menu with mediocre flavors and quality. I definitely would come back again. read more

Quality/Quantity - Some of the reviews say the food here is not authentic, but we felt like it was. Not that we were experts. Today we got the following: Banh Cuon, Steamed Rice Roll - My daughter's dish and my favorite. Maybe because I am familiar with it...? Bun Rieu - Tomato Crab Noodle; both my wife and daughter felt this was the best dish. Banh Canh, Tapioca Seafood Noodle - Nothing I expected. Almost a gravy (tapioca) sauce/soup. I wish I was able to take this home and add more noodles to make a second dish! Overall it was good, but nothing our family was accustomed to. Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. Plenty of mall parking. Open 6 days a week from 10am to 9pm; closed Tuesdays. Service - Good, I believe the owner served us. Price - $53 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since February of 2021. When hosting our Vietnamese friends, we will be sure to come back. read more

Ate lunch here on my last visit to Vegas. Lots of parking. As i entered, I noted that the place was very clean, and nicely laid out. I was the only customer, on a Thursday just after noon. I ordered the spring rolls and the lotus salad. The spring rolls were large, and could be a meal in itself. They had both pork and shrimp inside. The peanut sauce had what appeared to be crispy onion bits and peanut halves on top. The sauce itself had a hint of, I believe, cinnamon. The sauce went well with the spring rolls. This was the first time I've had lotus salad. It too came with peanuts and crispy onion bits on top. And it had shrimp and pork. The lotus part of the salad is the stem. They were pickled in vietnamese sauce. You did not need any more sauce, although it came with extra. It also came with a side of shrimp chips. I enjoyed both the spring rolls and salad. The salad was flavorful and firm. My server, probably one of the owners, was very attentive. I'll definitely be eating here again. read more

We came in on a Saturday for lunch around 11 AM. We were seated right away. Most of the diners were Vietnamese so that was a good sign. I ordered a banh khot and a mi quang to share. there was only one staff taking orders, but our food came out quickly. The food was not bad, but also not the best I've had. Despite ordering these two dishes we were given Thai basil, which was odd. I thought maybe they ran out of mint, but I saw another table with mint so I asked the staff if they can bring mint out and they did. read more

Bun rue (I probably misspelled it) was perfect! Best one I've had! So rich in flavors and they are very generous with the meats. This hearty, well-balanced umami dish is so satisfying and kept me very full for several hours later. My husband had the old fashioned soup called "pho" and he liked it as well. For the appetizer, we opted for the fresh spring rolls. That was a wholesome, mouth watering treat that came with their own twist peanut sauce, was the highlight of this first visit. If they can make this really good, then, I can imagine the rest of the menu will come out with the same result. This place a superstar on Yelp. So Yelp it, visit and tell us what you think. The only downside, it's a little bit more time to get our yummy foods. Ice water didn't come often unless flagged down. But all in all, I still recommend because I have no idea what's going on in the kitchen but our food are made with much love. Yelp it and try it for yourself. I rarely finish a good bowl of soups and this is one of them. You're very welcome. read more

This place is definitely worth a try in Vegas. Rarely do you find good authentic Vietnamese food outside of southern California. Negatives: -value, it's a little pricey and comparable to California prices. Though the portion sizes are very good. Positives: -taste, the bun rieu was authentic with shrimp paste and crab. The broth was so good I almost finished the entire bowl. My wife go bun nem nuong (pork stick) and it reminded her of her favorite brand of nem nuong from LA. The egg roll was crispy and filled with real shrimp. Only the appetizer we got, banh khot, was a little soggy. -service was quick and fast -on the outside the restaurant looks simple but on the inside it's clean and modern. Overall 5/5 We will definitely be coming back next time in Vegas. read more

Believe some of the hype. Yen Viet Kitchen - styled as YEN, but pronounced more like ien and probably a common Vietnamese female first name if you add the proper accent marks - is a little spot just off Spring Mountain which some have called the best Vietnamese food in town. I finally accepted the challenge today and stopped by in the dead of afternoon. We started with some apps, which should more properly be labeled shareables due to portioning. The Nem Nuong Cuon ($9.00) are oversized versions of this spring roll variant - think spider roll diameter as opposed to normal sushi rolls - and are therefore a bit unwieldy to insert into the mouth hole. However, the pork is served blisteringly hot and the overall flavors of the dish and the sauce are on point. I loved both the vinegary carrot and daikon and the crispy shell in the filling. The Banh Khot ($16.00) are a star dish here. "Mini savory pancakes" are a simplistic and insufficient description of these morsels which are coconutty, both soft and crisp, and each topped with perfectly cooked shrimp. The fish sauce for either dipping or ladling is essential for adding salt and umami, and the lettuce (usable as a wrap), mint, and pickled carrot and daikon are essentially for freshness and more flavors. The Bun Mang Ga ($16.00) is a rather unique noodle soup that's full of bamboo flavor. The chicken served with it is actually an authentic "walking chicken" that is more chewy than you might expect from a typical chicken preparation. The ginger sauce served on the side is very potent and adds a fun kick. It's a good rendition. The Banh Cuon ($16.00) is a little bit schizophrenic. The minced pork rolls are solid but could have used fresher rice sheets and more wood ear mushroom. The three different pork roll preparations are not typical for the dish, and the slices could have been further halved. The bean sprouts, cucumbers, crispy shallots, and fragrant greens were all typical and fresh enough though. One of my pet peeves is oversteeping tea, and the Iced Jasmine Tea ($2.00) had just a bit too much of that distinctive bitterness in it which you can't have. I would have been more generous with my rating otherwise. I will say that Yen Viet Kitchen seems to be a very solid Vietnamese restaurant that can execute a variety of non-pho dishes, which is what I have been hoping for in the Las Vegas scene for a long time. You'll definitely find better and/or cheaper in Orange County, but this is a must-try spot for anyone over here who likes Vietnamese food or wants to try something new. read more

Good & authentic Southern Vietnamese food. Friendly staff. - Bánh cuốn: freshly made everyday with not too much filling. It's like in Vietnam. You have a good balance of the rice roll and the filling, plus the generous portion of pork sausage. 9/10 - Gỏi ngó sen (lotus salad): sweet and tangy lotus root with so much pork and prawn. The protein tasted fresh 9/10 - Gỏi cuốn (fresh spring roll) with hoisin sauce. It's hard to mess this one up. I could tell the chef is a Southerner cos the fish sauce and hoisin sauce tasted sweeter than normal. I like it though. Came here for bánh bèo but they took it off the menu :( read more
