Vietnamese Restaurants in Gold Coast

If you’re craving something fresh, bright, and packed with flavour, Vietnamese food on the Gold Coast has got you covered. From the pho shops in Southport that locals swear by to the sneaky little banh mi joints around Burleigh, there’s a real love for clean, honest cooking here.

One place I keep going back to is Pho An in Labrador – their broth is slow-cooked for hours, and you can taste it in every slurp. And if you’re feeling adventurous, check out the crispy spring rolls or the broken rice dishes at Mai’s Kitchen down in Mermaid Beach. They don’t mess around with their ingredients. Plus, the Gold Coast’s subtropical vibe makes enjoying a cold Vietnamese iced coffee right by the beach feel like a no-brainer.

Heads-up, though: weekends can get busy at certain spots, especially during the markets or when there’s a surf comp on. My advice? Go for lunch midweek or grab takeout and hit up one of the quieter parks. The last thing you want is missing out on that perfect bowl of pho because there’s a line out the door.
