Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Rhode Island Monthly. Updated August 2026.
Asian Bakery & Fast Food · Broad Street
Asian Bakery makes its banh mi on crackling French baguettes, a hefty sandwich that a 2025 food crawl called the reason Broad Street is the place to be for traditional Vietnamese sandwiches. The bakery counter format keeps the operation simple, built around a small handful of Vietnamese staples rather than a full sit-down menu.
Lotus Pepper · Providence
Lotus Pepper started out as a food truck before settling into a brick-and-mortar kitchen on Hope Street, and it is still the spot regulars point to for a crunchy banh mi sandwich. The Vietnamese menu has grown alongside the storefront, but the sandwich remains the dish most people order first.
Pho Horn's · Pawtucket
Pho Horn's runs out of an unassuming strip-mall storefront in Pawtucket and has been called Rhode Island's hottest pho spot by local chefs who eat there on repeat. One Providence chef said he ordered from Pho Horn's five times in a single month, the kind of loyalty a bowl of pho rarely earns.
Hon's House of Noodle Soup · Cranston
Hons House of Noodle Soup is known first for its Vietnamese pho, with a broth made from scratch out of beef bones that boil for eight hours before being mixed with chicken broth, onion and a full set of spices. A separate side of the Cranston menu runs Chinese dishes, from Chinese-American favorites to more traditional plates.
