About Alice Viet Restaurant

Tucked along Sanders Street, Alice Viet pairs generous bowls of pho with Hanoi-style bún chả and unexpected ceremonial matcha from Uji. Regulars head straight for the bún chả—tender grilled pork with rice vermicelli, crisp herbs, and balanced dipping broth—or gather around the spacious round tables for communal feasts like steamed whole baby silver perch. A pay-it-forward receipt board near the counter quietly funds hot meals for neighbors in need, before visits wind down over thick Vietnamese iced coffee.

  • Signature Bún Chả: Charred grilled pork slices, fresh herbs, vermicelli, and balanced dipping broth stand out as a top customer order.
  • Communal Group Feasts: Generous round tables comfortably seat large groups for shared banquet centerpieces like steamed whole baby silver perch.
  • Pay-It-Forward Community Board: A customer-backed pay-it-forward receipt wall pre-purchases warm pho bowls for community members in need.

  • Matcha

    What really surprised us was the matcha. We weren’t expecting to find such high-quality matcha at a Vietnamese restaurant, but the owner explained that they use ceremonial-grade matcha sourced from Uji, Japan. After one sip, it made complete sense. The matcha was smooth, vibrant, and rich, without any bitterness.

  • Iced Chocolate Drinks

    We also brought the kids along, and they couldn’t stop talking about the iced chocolate drinks. They absolutely loved them and were asking for another one before we had even finished lunch!

Before you head over

Practical planning advice on parking, group dining, and specialty ordering

  • Use Dedicated Off-Street Parking

    Street parking on Sanders Street can be constrained during peak dining times; look for dedicated undercover off-street parking bays provided by the venue before resorting to surrounding street bays.

  • Plan Round Tables for Groups

    Unlike compact pho counters designed solely for solo dining, the dining room features round tables and banquet dishes like steamed whole silver perch, making advance planning ideal for extended families and groups.

  • Ask for Specialty Uji Matcha

    Beyond traditional Vietnamese coffee and iced chocolate for kids, request the specialty drink menu to try ceremonial-grade matcha sourced directly from Uji, Japan.
