Vietnamese food in Cambridge delivers the cuisine's signature balance of fresh herbs, rich broths, and bright acidity. Whether you're craving a steaming bowl of pho on a cold New England evening or a crispy banh mi for a quick lunch, the city's Vietnamese restaurants offer authentic flavors at approachable prices.
Insider TipPho is best in cooler weather, but don't overlook summer specialties like bun (cold vermicelli bowls) and goi cuon (fresh spring rolls).
Cicada Coffee Bar
Vietnamese · 106 Prospect St, Cambridge, MA 02139
Modern Vietnamese cafe with excellent coffee and creative banh mi. The duckfit banh mi is worth the hype. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is dangerously addictive. Expect a weekend brunch line but it moves fast. The vibe is immaculate.
Saigon Babylon
Vietnamese · 907 Main St Fl 5, Cambridge, MA 02139
Modern Vietnamese restaurant on the fifth floor at 907 Main — the only true rooftop dining room between Central and Kendall. Shared plates, craft cocktails, a view over Central Square. From the team behind Cicada Coffee Bar and The Eaves.
