★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Nafisa Tabassum · Aug 2025

Actually Google brought me here. I like Vietnamese food specially rice n vermicelli bowls so thought give it a try. Got nothing but disappointment. The egg rolls were served immediately after ordering. They just heat it up. Not fresh. Too oily n greasy. The vermicelli bowl with charbroiled chicken was tasteless. Same goes with the rice platter that also came with same chicken n a soup. The only thing I liked was the soup. It was lunch time n there was 2 only people except us. The servers were busy eating n didn't bother to ask if the food was ok or not. They have bunch of noodles soup in their menu. And the review is good. If i ever come back I'll try the soup on my own risk

If you find this review you have found a gem. This place is great. Vietnam 81 is owned and operated by locals. The food is amazing and the drinks are awesome too. I must recommend #28 which is a wonderful vermicelli dish. The spring rolls are amazing and the smoothies taste like they were picked off of a tree. Fresh and wonderful are the words that come to mind. If you like coffee, order a Vietnamese Coffee. It is amazing. Highly recommend and I always go back.

Fantastic experience. We both ordered Pho. Tasted great. Huge serving sizes. We had leftovers to enjoy later. The gentleman who waited on us was extremely friendly. We will definitely be back!

By far the best Pho I’ve ever had, the beef broth is phenomenal and clear, the tofu is perfectly cooked and all of the vegetables are fresh! I always get the fresh spring rolls as well, which are flavorful and the perfect size. The service is so friendly, and they are a wonderful small business to support if you love amazing Vietnamese food, the best of your life!

I found this place in my short work trip between the customer and the airport. It was the best stop I could take. The pho was amazing, tasty and refreshing, spring rolls were really good too The owner was really nice . After I finished my lunch and waited for the taxi he came outside and we had a little conversation. It's a local business with great food. Recommended!!!
