5 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Hong Kong (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Thorne Savarin, Culinary Explorer · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong live mostly in Mong Kok, and the businesses on this page range from a dedicated pho specialist with a devoted following to fusion spots that blend Vietnamese staples with a wider Southeast Asian and international menu. Ratings here run from 4.6 to 4.8, and the best pho and banh mi consistently draw the most specific praise.

Short answer: PHO HOME and No Money So Lonely both carry strong ratings, with No Money So Lonely holding the deepest track record at 4.7 stars across 1,559 reviews. 泰好記 (THAI HO KEE) posts the highest rating on this page at 4.8 stars, though it's worth knowing it's a Thai restaurant rather than Vietnamese, and Smokehouse Bar & Grill is a smokehouse and BBQ restaurant, not Vietnamese either.

Our take: A 4.8 rating for a genuinely well-liked restaurant, but it serves smokehouse barbecue, not Vietnamese food, so it's included here only because it surfaced in this category's search results.

How we score

Rating is each restaurant’s live Google average. Review volume shows how many diners have actually rated it, measured against the others on this page. Confidence weights the rating by that volume, so a smaller restaurant’s high average carries less certainty than a larger one’s. Recency reflects how recently people are still reviewing. No restaurant can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a Vietnamese meal cost in Hong Kong? (2026)

Prices vary by restaurant, but reviewer-cited spending on this page commonly runs from around HK$50 to HK$150 per person for a casual meal, more for a full sit-down dinner with drinks.

Job	Typical price
Casual pho or noodle dish	HK$50 - HK$100 per person
Full Vietnamese dinner with drinks	HK$100 - HK$200 per person

Ranges compiled August 2026 from Google review price-per-person data reported by diners at PHO HOME and Quanh Nam.

Serving all of Hong Kong

This list spans Mong Kok and the West Kowloon Cultural District, so a Vietnamese restaurant near me in Kowloon almost always points to PHO HOME or Quanh Nam, the two genuinely Vietnamese kitchens on this page.

What to ask before you go

Is the restaurant specifically Vietnamese, or a fusion or other Southeast Asian cuisine?
Are vegetarian or vegan Vietnamese dishes available?
Is seating available for larger groups without a reservation?
Does the menu offer English translations or photos to help with ordering?
Is outdoor or terrace seating available?
What are the restaurant’s signature or most-recommended dishes?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these restaurants?

We compared restaurants surfacing under this category across Hong Kong on their real Google rating, review volume, and how recently people have reviewed them. Thai Ho Kee and Smokehouse Bar & Grill are not actually Vietnamese cuisine, which we’ve noted directly rather than presenting them as authentic Vietnamese options.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Which restaurant is genuinely Vietnamese cuisine?

PHO HOME and Quanh Nam are the two clearly Vietnamese restaurants on this page, both specializing in classic dishes like pho and banh mi.

Is Thai Ho Kee a Vietnamese restaurant?

No. Despite appearing in this category’s search results, Thai Ho Kee is a Thai restaurant based on its own menu and site description.

The bottom line

PHO HOME is the safest default for classic, no-frills Vietnamese comfort food, while Quanh Nam is worth booking if you want that same cuisine with a skyline view for a proper sit-down meal.
