Review Kettles Vietnamese Bistro - Santa Rosa

I come here regularly and have tried almost every vegan/vegetarian dish on the menu. My favorite dishes have been the tofu banh mi, lemongrass tofu bún, crispy vegetarian egg roll, tofu spring roll, and vegetarian crêpe. They also have a dessert menu that you have to ask for, but their fried banana is a must-have(vegetarian, not vegan). Their milk teas are also great, just a bit pricey now. Service is great and they offer outdoor seating now as well. Overall, 5/5!

This is a hidden gem right across from Whole Foods and tucked away in a sweet little space off of Steele Lane. It's cozy and zen, with excellent service and yummy menu. 😋

I got a Filet Mignon Pho. As soon as I had it, I could smell the pleasant aroma of the broth. The broth also tastes good, and sweet in a good way. The meat is soft and tender too. The atmosphere here is also calm. My waitresses were kind and delivered good service!

What a delicious seafood Pho! The broth is amazing as are the fish cakes! Outstanding service, I think the owner was my server. Great guy, I will be back many more times. It is also not a giant bowl to eat as well. Very comfortable place to relax and enjoy excellent food!

bun bo hue and ban xeo is really good. Thai tea is fantastic. Kids menu is so reasonable price. I will visit next time.

I don't think i have ever left a food review but this place compelled me. By leaps and bounds superior Pho. Something magical happened while I was eating. For the first tine ever, I started noticing the feel of the noodles in my.mouth, the perfect texture of the pork, the depth of flavors so rarely experienced. You simply must come and experience what excellent Vietnamese food tastes like. A wide range of vegan options as well.

Yeah I was going through my reviews and I couldn’t find my review for Kettles! Turns out I’ve never made one…. That is surprising to me because Kettles is one of my favorite restaurants, not just Vietnamese restaurants, favorite of all time! Folks, literally everything is good here. I come for the Pho but I have tried many other things on their menu coming with other people. Their rice plates are good. Their appetizers are good. The other specials including Bun Bo Hue are good. They are very consistent with serving up tasty dishes! Now back to the Pho. I live in a town that doesn’t have a good Pho place so I travel 50 miles to Santa Rosa just for Kettles! Their pho is some of the best I’ve ever had. They don’t skimp on ingredients here and there’s always a large portion of meet. The Combination Pho comes with tripe, tendon, brisket, flank steak, and meatballs. I always omit the tripe because it’s like chewing on rubber bands but that’s just me. I always ask for extra lime and basil and have never once been charged for these extras. The wait staff are always super kind and fast. Kettles is my happy place. ❤️ 🍲🍜

I love this place. They do get busy at times. But they have a wonderful menu with so many things to try. Even my kids love it here. The best Pho and boba. Everything I've tried on the menu I've loved.

By far the best Vietnamese food around, I’ve been going here for years and the food is outstanding! The staff are super friendly and always welcoming, they always have fresh ingredients and quick service, during the summer there’s an outdoor seating area.

We stopped by for lunch, we were seated right away....ordered hot tea and spring rolls...waiter brought them out and we ordered lunch. He ordered combination stir fry, I had the shaken beef... we also added combination fried rice...The service was good and the food was fantastic. The only reason it's 4 stars instead of 5, is the dining room is a little dated...the floor could use a little help and there was a broken table. We will definitely be back

Good food I love it. The waitress was so sweet. She made me a sugar free drink and guided me with the gluten free pho 🍜 was just amazing. 🥰 I recommend this place

Our server Irene was very nice and the Baristas as well, specially the young Filipina which I forgot to ask her name. The food was delicious and serving was great. We had a great lunch here and we’lll be back for sure. I highly suggest this restaurant when you are in Santa Rosa, CA

We came here for a late lunch, and were delighted to find a Happy Hour menu Monday through Friday 3-5 PM that included both have priced, very freshly made cocktails (the pineapple Mojito 🍹was exquisite!!) plus assorted dishes. Spring rolls with pork and crunchy peanut sauce was crunchy and filling; the Iron Pot Rice Kettle special dish with three types of meat was exceptionally well flavored. I have added this to my Google maps favorites, and plan on returning when we are next in the area.

This place is awesome. I arrived with my mind set on trying pho. I've tried it once before and loved it so my mouth was watering. The host was amazing and had great customer service. She sat me down with an ice water served with a slice of cucumber along with a menu. I ordered the combination pho which was loaded with beef and the broth was very flavorful. The service was fast yet very personable. The pho was served with bean sprouts fresh basil and lime and jalepenos to top it off and Sriracha and hoisin sauce. I definitely will come back i highly recommend this spot.

Food was great. My combo plate w/vermicelli noodles was prob the best I've had in a long time. I like how they have kid menus. Most places like this don't have any options for kids leaving me to buy one plate for 2 kids to share or just wasting the money on leftover food. Spring rolls are my fav vietnamese appetizer but something about these ones gave me a bad after taste, not sure if it was the pork inside or what? The atmosphere was nice, cool, quiet & relaxing. Customer service was great & our waitress went the extra mile to make my son feel special by posting his colored drawing up at the front hostess bar. After myself & 3 kids, drinks & appetizer...I surprisingly spent around $65 (not incl. tip). We will be back:D

We discovered this wonderful family run Vietnamese restaurant during a stopover in Santa Rosa. It is a couple blocks from the Charles Schultz Museum. We had limited time to dine before our flight. Everyone was very gracious about taking fast care of us in an extremely friendly way. Our meal arrived within minutes. The food was the best Vietnamese food I have ever had. DELICIOUS! We would drive there during our next Bay Area visit just for the food & kind service. Don’t miss the chance to experience their terrific food, matcha drinks and hospitality.

A small restaurant, but nice taste of Vietnamese food and beautiful environment. The service was amazing, the staff was very friendly to customers, and come every once in a while to check if everything is alright. Overall great experience, would recommend.

This place is very nice. I especially like the Vietnamese pancake and the banh mi. I've come to this place many times. Also, they have a hidden dessert menu, ask them about it! I absolutely love the fried banana dessert. I've been here a million times, and I'd come again!
