Pho Vy - Benicia, California

Lyle H.

I ate here on 7/16 for dinner and everything was phenomenal.

I had the combo rice plate with pork, shrimp, and Korean short ribs and was extremely satisfied with the amount of food and the flavor. I also had an order of the salt and pepper chicken wings which were excellent and came with fried peppers that were amazing.

The real star of the show was the bahn mi. I got the charbroiled pork bahn mi and it might be the best one I've ever had. The bread was perfectly toasted, light and crispy, with incredible flavors in every bite. I already have plans to go back tomorrow to try one of their other sandwiches.

Can't go wrong by coming here, everything is prepared with care.

10/10 will be back!

UPDATE: my review used to be 5 stars. This became a place I frequented and loved dearly. Unfortunately, I went in for dinner last night and it appears there are new owners 🙁 the food was so bad. My banh mi was so disappointing and my partner got pho and said it was salty and had no real flavor. It was definitely not the same, and this place has been consistent every single time we’ve been for over a year. Very disappointing. The staff was nice but I don’t ever want to eat that food again.

Best banh mi I’ve ever had. Seriously so good. The bread, the meat, everything was perfect. Service was also perfect and it’s a very cute, clean spot.

Ate here a couple of weeks ago. The fresh shrimp rolls was really good. But the wonton soup was bland. Didn’t have no flavor! Tasted like chicken broth with salt. The broth needs to be perfected when it comes to soups..

The char pork bahn mi was decent. I was hoping for a little better flavor on the meat and the bread had good flake but wasn’t my favorite. A little on the smaller side but not bad.

Our family tried Pho Vy Benicia tonight and we were seriously impressed. The Bahn Mi was delicious; fresh rolls, tangy crisp pickled veggies and savory charbroiled pork. The beef pho was so aromatic and comforting - some of the best we've tasted. 🍜 My husband's BBQ pork vermicelli bowl was awesome; super flavorful. I also highly recommend the fresh brewed peach iced tea. 🍑 Lastly, they finish your meal with a complimentary scoop of strawberry ice cream. 🍓 Kids will love it! The prices are so reasonable for the quality and amount, and the staff were cheerful and kind. Family owned and operated. A well deserved 5 stars.

It's a nice, locally owned restaurant. The shop is clean, service is quick, and the food is tasty.

The spring rolls are generous with the shrimp, and the banh mi has plenty of meat.

Very slow with orders. Took 20 minutes to get our food. When we did the order was wrong. No rice noodles in the wonton soup. Even though we asked for it. And by the time we did get it, the broth and wontons were cold. There were only two people working inside. The broth was very salty and not very full flavored. Big pass for me letting anyone know about this place. I had better hopes.

Ordered take out tonight. This is my first meal here if you don't count a banh mi sandwich, it was good which I had once about 3 months ago. I really wanted some Vietnamese food tonight. I've had chinese and japanese, both were a somewhat disappointing in Benicia. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the meal (chicken and pork rice plate, egg rolls). The prices for these 2 rice plates were very reasonable. I've eaten my share if Vietnamese food in concord, walnut creek and pleasant hill. Dishes I've had very much compares with Kevin's Noodles and other restaurants. Since this is the only place for Vietnamese dishes, this will be my go to place, it's worth it! The owner was nice to comp me a lychee tea while I waited for my to go meal. Heh, I'm not real on ambiance but if the is good, that's all it counts.
