Best Vietnamese Food in Bend
Bend, Oregon — updated August 22, 2026
Three Vietnamese kitchens in Bend, ranked by how settled their reputations are, from the long-running 3rd Street standby to the Old Mill District newcomer.
Listings verified
Vietnamese food in Bend clusters along one road: NE and SE 3rd Street carries two of the city's three main options, with the third tucked into the Old Mill District near Powerhouse Drive. That means the choice is usually between a busy commercial-strip dining room and a walkable riverside shopping area, rather than between wildly different menus. Below, the three are ordered by how well their ratings hold up against the number of people who left them.
1. Pho Viet & Cafe on 3rd Street
This is the most thoroughly tested Vietnamese restaurant in Bend, holding a 4.5 rating across 1,500 reviews. A score that high over that many diners is proven rather than promising: it has survived years of weekday lunch crowds, takeout orders and first-timers, and it has not slipped. The address is 1326 NE 3rd St, on the commercial stretch north of downtown, which makes it an easy stop if you are already running errands on that side of town. Parking and access are straightforward compared with the Old Mill options. If you want the safest bet in the city, start here.
2. Pho 88 Bend
The highest-rated of the three at 4.8, though from a smaller base of 222 reviews, which makes it promising rather than settled. Its location sets it apart: 330 SW Powerhouse Dr #150 puts it inside the Old Mill District, so it works as a sit-down break between shopping, a walk along the Deschutes, or a movie. That also means the surrounding crowds fluctuate with the district's own foot traffic, and midday weekends are the busiest window in that part of Bend. The name signals where the kitchen's focus lies. Check its Old Mill District listing for current hours before making the trip.
3. Dang’s Vietnamese Restaurant
A 4.4 rating across 788 reviews puts Dang's in the same evidence tier as the top entry here: enough diners have weighed in that the number is reliable, even if it sits a fraction lower. Find it at 1180 SE 3rd St, on the southern end of the same corridor, which makes it a reasonable alternative when the north-side dining room is full. Nearly 800 reviews is a lot for a Bend restaurant of any kind, and the consistency behind that figure is the argument for going.
What we left off
Pho Viet & Cafe operates a second Bend location at 921 NW Mount Washington Drive, at The Grove. It rates 4.4 from 106 reviews, but it is the same business as the 3rd Street entry above, so we listed only the branch with the deeper review history. If the west side is closer for you, it is the same name on the sign.
