Vina Restaurant

I love to get pho from here, it is the nearest location to get it for me. I always have good experiences with service and food here.

OK, We've been going to VINA since the early 1980s! We had lunch on 2-26-25-and sadly walked away with such a bad taste in our mouths that we vowed to NEVER go back. I guess it's true when they say, "You can't go back." Let me elaborate:1. RENOVATION COSTS MUST HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE ROOF FOR THE OWNERS! I state this because they not only raised their prices, but doubled ALL entrees and in many other categories, tripled prices, i.e., 2 egg rolls for $7.99. OUCH. For years they were less than half that price! Sticker Shock is what we felt! Just 5 yrs. ago we could each order egg rolls for a whopping sum of less than $5. What gives VINA? OUTRAGEOUS PRICES;2. We kept looking over the menu and realized we probably couldn't afford lunch that day! We felt locked out due to their outrageous pricing!;3. As I stated above, we have been giving this restaurant our complete and undying business for decades but realized if we want to go back, we simply cannot order what we've always eaten. In the past, our usual, modest order consisted of 2 orders of egg rolls, and 1 ORDER FOR hot and spicy chicken. We never paid more than $20. Now, that same order would set us back $16.00 for EGG rolls alone and $15.00-20.00 for 1 entree, which we always shared. TOTAL BILL: ALMOST $40! THIS IS WRONG!!!;4. AND, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FOOD: VINA ONCE SERVED VERY FLAVORFUL FOOD! On our recent outing, we had to ask several times for fish sauce which we felt was given out sparingly as if it was gold!; egg rolls were cold when served and the rice was spongy and cold too!; We could only afford 1 order of egg rolls and 2 bowls of white rice, which set us back almost $20,;5. ON TOP OF OUTRAGEOUS PRICES, HERE IS THE "ICING-ON-THE-CAKE" CHARGE THEY HIT YOU UP WITH (AS IF THEY HAVEN'T GOUGED YOU ENOUGH) ... THEY TACK ON ***THEIR*** CREDIT CARD FEE, KNOWING FULL WELL MOST PATRONS ONLY USE CARDS FOR PAYMENT. IT' WRONG TO DO THAT!!!! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY PLACE IN TOWN, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ANY MORE!;*********************************6. One more irritating thing: They play music which mimicked the kind you'd expect in a "clubbing" venue. Say what??? Wrong Vibe for a Vietnamese restaurant! IN CLOSING, VINA YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO YOUR ROOTS AND STOP WITH THE ASIAN BAR/FUSION ATMOSPHERE! YES, THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT YOUR RESTAURANT HAS TURNED INTO. YOU'VE DRIVEN SOME OF YOUR MOST VALUABLE CUSTOMERS OUT! SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay the Vina has reopened! I've been coming here as well as fellow Vina locations since the early 90's. I think this is the sole location now.The neighborhood is picking up with a lot of new housing, as well as with Centro moving in. It's important to keep up so I was happy to hear if the remodel.It looks nice. They're advertising a "bar" and it's a lunch counter. No cocktails are served here but they may want to consider acquiring a liquor license. It would be a massive hit!I got the grilled pork and egg roll salad. The egg rolls are fantastic as usual. The salad looked beautiful but lacked any seasoning. Not a spec of cilantro. The pork was too fatty or should've been crispy. It just opened so I'll keep trying. I'm sure they'll fall back

All of the same things I have said before (amazingly tasty food, it comes out unbelievably fast, friendly staff) are all true, and now the one knock I had on this place (that the inside was more functional than comfortable) has been addressed. Beautiful new remodel - it is comfortable, spacious, and feels great in there. Had Kung Pao mock duck and the kiddo had veggie lo mien with fried wontons to start and everything was super tasty. I can't wait to go back!

I have to say that Vietnamese food is not my favorite by my husband wanted pho. I was very pleasantly surprised by the pork and egg roll noodle salad! I would definitely order that again! My husbands pho was also pretty good too.

I have been going to vina since 2014 and have never been disappointed. The service is amazing and the ambiance is casual and comfortable. The food is consistent, always great.

Love their hot and spicy chicken and fried rice. Oh that delicious sauce! The egg rolls are great too and so are the cream cheese wontons.Sounds like they recently remodeled and they just updated their website and you can now order online through it.

Vina has a wide variety of Asian dishes from Vietnamese Salad to Amazing Egg Foo Young and more. The food comes to your table quickly and is consistently good! The service is warm and friendly. We enjoy eating at the restaurant with its lively atmosphere and fun decor.

I was recommended this place by a friend who comes here regularly for the pho. I walked in the door and the first thing I noticed was the smell. It had a very musty smell. I'm the corner was a larger fish tank that had not been cleaned for quite sometime and most likely the source... so my recommendation is if you want to try this place, get the food to go. I tried the spring rolls, egg rolls and pho tai. The spring roll seemed fresh but I did not care of the peanut dipping sauce it came with. The Egg roll was filled well and deep fried to a golden crunch, those were good! They also precut it, which I liked. The pho tai was slightly bland to me, however they have so many items to flavor it, that you can really customize the flavor. This included chili oil at the table, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, limes, fresh basil, and fresh cilantro. The service here was very friendly and fast by the gentleman that was working! He came by with waters right away and kept them full. Overall, this was an average experience for me and I'm not sure I would go back. If I lived in the area, I would may be consider trying other items but with there being so many other places to get pho, and the inside feeling a bit dirty to me (with the smell) I think I'll be trying other places.

Satisfactory service. The acoustics are hard and too bright. Little to no noise buffering. But a Vietnamese theme restaurant is usually all about just getting food and quickly eating. So, this is not a negative critique.I ordered the hot spicy chicken . The gravy was cooked to semi solid in the plate and not properly thinned. Lacked the correct amount of lemongrass and no garnish with scallions. Flavor was acceptable but not meeting my expectations. I make this dish at home and know how to evaluate. Insufficient amount of rice brought to table. Server was attentive
