    One of my favorite spots in Brentwood. I usually get the beef cubes with garlic noodles, which always come out well-seasoned, hot and extremely delicious. The service is friendly and fast and the price is simply right. Oh, and the spring rolls. Get the spring rolls. My wife and I will sometimes swing by and pick them up to go for a delicious lunch. Seriously. Get them.

    This place use to be nice, but when they started becoming popular & rated as best of brentwood they started going downhill! Service was bad, waiters pretend like they don't hear you & they try to look busy all the time that it makes a customer feel so UNWELCOME! Last visit was that we wanted to sit outside, called the waiter & asked for a menu. She came back & didn't bring any, then told us we can't stay outside because they won't be catering customers who wish to seat outside (why put tables & chairs out there in the first place!?) & so patiently, we moved indoors only to see that there were no vacant tables & chairs & they made us stand & wait, we were a family of 4, my 1 year old son, my preggy wife & my dad. Waitress A then told us that we can sit on table 1 as soon as the people there will leave. The guys left then waitress B called a different party instead of us! Just outright annoying!!! I JUST HAD IT! WORST PLACE EVER! I WANT TO SUGGEST TO THE OWNER TO RE-TRAIN THEIR STAFF/WAITERS ON HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS NICELY & FAIRLY & AT LEAST WELCOMING! IN SHORT; FOOD IS GOOD BUT THE WAITERS ARE NO GOOD!

    Right now. I'm very unhappy with this place. Last past month they have been out of beef, tofu, wontons, stir fry, and even their drinks... Passion fruit jelly. It's only 5 pm! We've been going here for the last 2 years. It's been my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in this area and now it's turning into the not so favorite. And their service has deteriorated!!!! I ordered their garlic noodle and the noodle tasted like dough that hasn't been cooked. I asked for rice instead and they wanted to charge me for noodle and rice. Absurd! Your noodle tasted horrible. Just replacing it with rice. I returned the entire meal. Incredulous!!! I was not happy. I've been faithful customer here and to get this service was ridiculous. Unfortunately, going to have to look for another Vietnamese restaurant. They've opened Pittsburgh recently and this place has gone down the toilet. It's not what I like to write... Just feel that they need to pay attention to quality at this point.

    This place is horrible. My Pho was missing three essential ingredients and when I noticed they were missing I was already home. I live too far to have driven back. I'm Very disappointed by the experiences I've encountered from this restaurant and the location in Pittsburg.

    Came here today and oh my god it was amazing. I got the number 66. Shaking beef with garlic noodles. The meat was cooked to perfection and the vegetables with it were also the perfect flavor and Amount. The garlic noodles were such a nice change because usually places only give you rice as a side. They soaked up the juices from the shaking beef which made them ever more tastier. They were out of egg rolls which was a bummer but it's an excuse to come and visit this place again ;)

    On a Friday night, this place was packed. The food was A-OK, and for a Vietnamese fixing this place is not bad. so why the 3 stars you asked? I ordered #32 (Vermicelli BBQ shrimp and egg roll combo) and when it arrived, they forgot the egg roll. I called the waiter over he goes and talks to the kitchen staff and comes back and tells me they're out of egg roll. I eat out quite often so I get it that sometimes (1) you run out of certain menu items or (2) you get busy and forget.. but I find it very disappointing that they just brought over my food, tell me in my face this is #32 and didn't even tell me they were out of egg roll until I asked. Did they just think they can bring you your order hope you wouldn't notice? Really? This is the first time I had this happened. At other places the waiter will come over and offer a substitute; When I asked, the waiter offered to substitute BBQ beef, but by the time I finished eating, it still hadn't arrived and I didn't bother asking. Even better that same waiter gave me the check and didn't even adjust the price and no apologies (at minimum they could've have just charged me for the non-combo). The place was packed with people waiting so I didn't bother making a scene over a few bucks....

    I used to LOVE this place. Food was delicious, cheap and quick. What's changed? The service has gone downhill significantly. Now you are either forgotten or ignored and left to share messy appetizers over a napkin. I think from now on we'll bring our business to Da Nang or Viet Nam noodle house.

    Creasian delivers the taste of Vietnam with a fine dining experience. I've eaten at this restaurant twice already, and the food consistently tasted great! I'm a big fan of their short ribs, but my friends have told me their garlic noodles are also delicious. Service is pretty attentive, and the food comes out quick. Glad they opened up new Vietnamese restaurant close to home.

  • Joyce M.

    Good food, cooked very quickly, so you don't get to have much ambiance. You feel rushed. Some of the young waitresses are not very good at their jobs, but the older gentlemen seem to step in to make things right when there is an error.

  • Anthony P.

    I've been coming here quite a bit lately... For the Tom Yum Soup! It's always been great! Except for today! First, I had to ask for side it usually comes with... Bean sprouts, cilantro, jalapeño's & like! Next, noticed it tasted the same... It was missing the chiles, pineapple and the broth was not the same? I finally let them know and they very politely brought me a new bowl! I'll let you know...

    I'm very upset with this location, I frequent the location in Pittsburg and greatly enjoy the food and service. I decided to try the Brentwood location and NEVER again will I go back! Not because of the food or the servers. But for the man who stands behind the counter named David! I decided to try the crepe and when it arrived it wasn't what I thought it would be so it was explained that we wouldn't be eating it and apologized and asked for it to be taken back. We didn't ask for anything else and i fully intended to pay for the item. As it was returned David announces " how does someone order something and not know what it is." Well, it's called trying something new sir! I cannot believe that he would be so unprofessional and rude in a business establishment! NEVER again will I go to this location! If you want to enjoy the food and service of CreAsian go to the Pittsburg location!

    We always go to this place for their food. I am now always going to do take out because some of their WAITRESSES ARE VERY RUDE. Unfortunately I did not get their names but to be as close as possible 1 girl was caucasian & 2 girls were hispanic. Instead of asking politely the girl had TOLD us to put the chop sticks in the holder, they did not ASK. I then looked at her and gave some kind of a face to her, so that she can realize what she had TOLD us to do was wrong. If there will be a next time I will for sure give them my two cents. Two of the girls then talked out loud rudely and CURSING in front of us and the remaining customers about the $2 tip that they had received at that moment when those customers had left. The waitresses kept saying "no" to every question we had asked whether it was for plates to eat on, forks, etc. we weren't very amused of how they like to joke around a lot when serving us. Giving the benefit of the doubt that these girls were young... However they did not look young at all, INEXPERIENCE YES. I just wanted to let the owner of this restaurant know for peace of mind that if you would like customers to keep coming in and dining in... PLEASE replace the waitresses that i had mention with kind, polite & respectful human beings. My parents and I dined in today 9/16/15 around 4:30-5:30pm. P.S. I only mentioned waitresses. The staff behind the counter are very polite all the time. ;) Thank you for hearing me out.

    This place is pretty bomb. It's tucked away somewhere in Antioch/Brentwood area next to a Mexican restaurant that's literally called "Mexican Restaurant". Lol! Irrelevant point. Anywho, I had the 66 with beef and garlic noodles and bf had D82 with filet mignon cubes stirred fried with vegetables and rice on the side. We both enjoyed our meals though his was a little salty. He thought mine was but I didn't. We'll be back! Plus there's this dude that looks, sounds, and acts like Geoffrey Zakarian. Cool!

    I was extremely excited to visit the "New" CreAsian location on Railroad Ave in Pittsburg. I love the look & feel of the new location. Nice & trendy looking with a lovely bar & a lot bigger dining area than I thought. Sandra was our waitress and she was extremely SWEET & checked on us frequently. (Which we appreciated) Manuel also came by our table & said "Hello" & was "the fun customer service." Onto the food. Everything was fresh, vibrant, colorful & cooked to order! Each dish was prepared beautifully and a lot of it. No skimping and great prices. I have several food allergies and they prepared everything just as I asked and Sandra was really helpful with that. I ordered the shrimp vermacelli & the shrimp was delicious. My mom ordered the pad thai & there was a huge bowlful. Enough for lunch tomorrow and my father was "IN HEAVEN" with the shaking beef. He said the meat was so tender with an excellent sauce!!! I saw the pho others were eating & I can't wait to return to try it. This place will be great for the daytime professional lunch crowd & fun to sit at the bar in the evening with a drink & some awesome food. There's a nice mix of people as well. All nationalities, age groups and doesn't have the routy bar feeling. I will definately be back to the Pittsburg location. FYI..they are closed on Tuesday. Thanks for making my dining experience a delicious one!

    This place is solid. I've had better Vietnamese food (caveat: I grew up eating Vietnamese), but this place is pretty good for Antioch. I had the bun xeo today - a bit too oily (again I grew up eating this so I'm picky), but tasty. The beef pho is good. The lemongrass pork had good flavors, meat slightly over cooked. I would come back. Service is great.

  • Jennifer K.

    This is the best food in Brentwood! The flavors are tantalizing to the senses. I eat here at least once a week. The staff work very hard, sincere and warm. What more could you ask for? Favorite: #55 Lemongrass w/ Shrimp *spicy

  • Joyce K.

    We have eaten here and enjoyed the food & service many times, but the last time we went was right before closing (literally 10 minutes before they closed -- our fault as we didn't know what time they closed). Rather than regretfully turning us away, they graciously seated us (the starving puppy dog eyes & the drooling probably helped lol) and handed us menus after gently telling us that they were closing in 10 mins. We quickly placed our orders (there were three of us), were promptly served when our food arrived & were told with a smile to enjoy and take our time. Not wanting to further inconvenience the staff, we gobbled up our delicious rice noodle & grilled pork with shrimp bowls (soooooo good!), double order of fresh spring rolls **remember, this was at the end of the evening right before closing, the wrapper was not hard nor too sticky & the bean spouts in the roll were bright white & crisp**, grilled beef short ribs combo (egg perfectly done & beef not fatty), and two Thai Ice Teas with boba (the boba was sweet, chewy and perfectly cooked). Thank you Cre Asian for taking pity on us by letting us savor your yummy food & saving us from a drive-thru run for fatty-fatty fast food!

    Came here with my niece on a Sunday afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that Antioch has a good Vietnamese restaurant. I remember how small and undeveloped this city was back in 1996 when my sister and I owned our first Thai restaurant in Antioch. Not one of my fondest memory either. Lol But getting back to Cre Asian, I ordered the Bo Luc Lac with garlic noodles (first time trying this dish because I was highly convinced by a certain someone that it's his favorite Vietnamese dish) and a Cafe Sua Da (since I didn't make my stop at Starbucks). I have to say that I actually liked the Bo Luc Lac. It has an interesting mix of flavor, although a little saltier than I'm used to, but still good nonetheless. I enjoyed the Cafe Sua Da as well, although it looked like it was already half drank. Lol My niece had the banh xeo and she swears that it's her favorite dish here, but I didn't taste it so I'll take her word for it. Especially since her mom is my sister, who happens to also be one of the best chef in the Bay Area (take my word for it)! If I'm ever in the area visiting my niece, I will make sure to come hungry so I can make her join me for lunch/dinner here again.

    I come here a lot and the last few times they are rushed/understaffed and or rude/unprofessional. Food is good but it's also good at a lot of other places with better service.

    Had the Pho Tai & Lemongrass Chicken Garlic Noodles - both were superb! The broth for the pho was not at all greasy, the beef was sliced perfectly and was not tough after cooking in the broth - it was nice & tender, and the ratio of noodles to beef was perfect. The lemongrass chicken was just spicy enough at medium (you can pick your own level of spiciness), and the garlic noodles was very flavorful (read- no skimping on garlic flavor). Both were so good! So glad we stopped by for lunch, and last but not least - friendliest and greatest service we have ever received at any Vietnamese restaurant! Cannot remember our servers name, but he was a young Black man, and he was funny, friendly and attentive! This service is not normal at all in most Vietnamese restaurants! We will definitely be back!

  • Bea B.

    When we got there it was jammed packed, but the wait was not long at all. They were all so attentive and got greeted and asked for how many like 3 times. Food was delish, I ordered one of their vermicelli bowls, my hubby and boys ordered the short rib plate and they were all good. The only negative was that when we ordered our food we also ordered drinks and they never came. When we asked for our check we told them that we never got our drinks so what they did was took them off our check and still made us our drinks! So that was cool!

    First, I have to say that I read one very bad review by Alicia L who said she had worked in the kitchen for one day as a possible hire (who ever heard of such an arrangement?) and saw all sorts of nasty things. It was almost enough to dissuade me from visiting here but something about it sounded wrong to me and I decided to look at her other reviews and found an almost exactly similar review for another restaurant. Disgruntled reject I thought and decided to take a chance. We got there and found that the kitchen was open to viewing by customers (always a good sign) with a bar where you can eat and watch food being prepared. We did not choose to sit there but I did go up and take a look and everything was spic and span. Yelp is a great resource and I enjoy giving honest reviews but it can also be used to hype or slam businesses and I believe that that review is one of those. Now down to my review. My only previous experience with Vietnamese cuisine had been Da Nang Touraine on Wild Horse. The food here is very similar. Judit had her usual beef pho and I had my usual curry. The only real difference was that, although I ordered mild curry it did have a distinct zing to it which I liked. At Da Nang, though you can taste the curry it is not at all spicy. I also liked the level of service. At most restaurants your server is your server and good luck on getting attention from anyone else. Here we received attention from three people who just made it their business to take care of our needs. Reason for four instead of five stars: I had to ask if I could get mild curry instead of spicy and Judit had to ask if she could have well done beef instead of rare. The menu does not hint at that.

    It's not a terrible place since we do come back. The Pad Thai hasn't really disappointed me and it's good enough to satisfy my cravings, but there's definitely better places. We usually call in our orders and so far there hasn't been any problems, it's always ready when we're there and the service is fine..I mean we haven't done a dine on so I could be wrong...As for other stuff we ordered, it wasn't anything special. One of them was the fried rice and I think it was a little plain, but not bad. I forgot what else we tried, but if I remember correctly I think the chicken was dry, but I feel like that happens a lot even with other places. I'd give this place a 3-4 stars mainly for my pad thai. It's usually still okay the next day, especially the veggies or whatever haha it has more flavor. I think I'll try their garlic noodles next time.

    Nice place. Always crowded. The meat is exceptional. I recently ordered the Gluten Free #37 Lemongrass chicken with glass noodles. It was pretty tasty, but not as good as some of their more delicious entrees with thier amazing marinated grilled meats. Also got the salt and pepper fried wings. They were VERY good. I highly recommend this place for Gluten Free folks looking to eat out locally in the Antioch-Brentwood area. Just tell your server you are gluten-free and they will guide you. Whatever you do, don't listen to the ONE SERVER there that thinks you should stick to the fried rice. He's full of himself and doesn't comprehend why people with food allergies would want to dine out. Everyone I have encountered there, with that one exception, are good ppl though, so feel free to be adventurous. My only wish - if I were to wish - for this place, would be for them to incorporate gluten-free soy sauce in their recipes ASAP. That way food allergy people could enjoy their most delish stuff too.

  • Ashley L.

    My family and I have been regulars here since they opened, and even at their Brentwood restaurant before Creasian opened. Great food (especially pho) and great service (usually). They're usually pretty consistent as far as flavor but you can't be perfect 100%of the time. Once my pork chops were a little too charred, but they actually gave an extra one that I ended up taking home. One time the egg was a little too fried and brown, but I didn't really mind. Sometimes the shaking beef can be a little oily but it's still delicious. One time we ordered the shrimp and mango salad as an appetizer, but it ended up coming after our entrees. That was fine too, they were very apologetic. So no horrible experiences or anything, just little hiccups here and there once in a while.

  • Bob M.

    Unlike most restaurants, this place NEVER seems to have an off-day. The food is ALWAYS great and the service is friendly and exceptional. Perhaps it's for these reasons that they do such a terrific business from the time they open until they close. As a recommendation if you're not sure what to get, go for the #47 - it's their "lemon grass grilled chicken plate and it's BEYOND AWESOME!

    If this had a 3.5 star button thats what i would give it. Its not for the foodie. Sigh... I wish all reviews made in yelp resraurants were by foodies. If you have never had vietnamese food then of course you would give this place a 4 star rating! Its in a location/city where there aremt many asians. I got the Pho, salt and pepper chicken wings, egg over rice short rib combo plate, seafood salad, and garlic noodles with beef. The flavors were good, the prices were fair and the service was good. Its hard for me to give any Vietnamese place a 4 star and up rating because I grew up on this stuff and always look for the next best Pho. Def worth checking out if you dont eat much Vietnamese food.

    I've been here 3 times and the service is nothing less than awesome every time I've been here. The staff is very diverse and friendly. There is one bad egg in the staff but it doesn't seem to change much in their dynamic. The food has not failed me yet. Every dish I've had has been more than satisfying & tasty each time. The price for the portions is reasonable.

  • Julie Z.

    Amazing true authentic food. This is San Francisco quality but local and very affordable. No matter when we go in, weekdays, weekends, lunch or dinner, we get the same two waiter/waitress. They are super dedicated. (I assume they are family.) At lunch they are super quick, almost pushy. Once we tell them we are in no hurry they take it easy and chit chat with us. I mean, this is a great place for quick food in a hurry, but it is equally as amazing for a dining experience. The portions are very large. It is usually enough for a full dinner plus left overs for lunch the next day. My kid loves the pho noodles. She likes all the sauces and the veggie plate. This is the only time she experiments with flavors. Order something with the shrimp. It is grilled perfectly!! So far I haven't had anything that wasn't amazing. The menu is huge. After going there for nearly ten years, I think I have tried about half of the items.

  • Jennifer C.

    Service is awesome! Everyone here will greet you with a genuine smile. They have some very solid dishes here. Although my years in proximity to amazing Viet food in SoCal is probably what knocked down the star... they get serious credit for doing a lot of great Viet food in a city like Brentwood. Garlic noodles with shaking beef is great!! Their pho is also comforting. I would pass on the vermicelli bowls... the whole dish was a little limp.

    I'm only doing 2 stars because of the food, but the service SUCKS! like I guess different people have different jobs. one person who ONLY gives water, another person who ONLY takes orders, and another who ONLY clears tables. idk, but the atmosphere is a little off to me, I get it, it's busy, but check on your customers and don't ignore them when they're trying to get your attention. I swear I said excuse me in my loudest voice, I KNOW he heard me. whatever. don't think I'll be coming back.

    This is my go to place for lunch literally everytime I am in Brentwood. I come in once every two weeks for work and the staff know me by name and exactly what I order every time I am here. The food is outstanding. I have never tasted anything so delicious. The garlic noodles are my favorite. I get the 67 with lemongrass beef. It's perfect. No other place has this kind of food done so well. I wish there was one in San Francisco and LA.

    Same owners as Pho Vietnam so food is 5 Star, BUT service here is below par. The little Asian (not being racist as I am a little Asian woman myself) girls give attitude and are snooty. I'll drive a few extra minutes to downtown Brentwood for better service from the guys there.

    First time here, and I love it. This place is located at the corner where angel nails is. You can see it going onto the freeway. My boyfriend and I love yelping for new places to try and I've always seen this spot, but never had the chance to try it. We finally did today. I'm so happy we did. The prices are decent and for a good amount of food-- did I mention delicious? Worth the money. There played are huge and the pho small is like a medium. The atmosphere is peaceful and workers are friendly. Will most likely be back.

  • Shawn N.

    I used to rave how good this place was and introduced everyone I know in this area from Antioch to Brentwood to come here and try the food. It was real good back then. But last few times, services were so unbelievable. Most the staffs are now white, who do not know how to serve a proper Asian dishes, specially if you order from their specialty dishes; from hot pot, clay pot, soup, family styles. A la carte dishes should come with rice on the side, but they either not knowing or so slow just let your order turns cold. Few times they are out of rice, c'mon, RICE, in an Vietnamese restaurant at around 8:00? They try to replace it by vermicelli, ok? by the time it came, they ought to have rice cooked already, 10 mins... Staffs? Cmon, they act busy walk around, but really, they just walk around, ignore you, or got on their cell. Time to go rave for another better Vietnamese restaurant ! Go here on your own luck !

  • Romeo D.

    Pros: - The best pho in the Antioch/Oakley/Brentwood area. - Good kalbi ribs. - Good selection of dishes. - Open kitchen area you can see. Cons: - Although its the best pho in the area, it will NOT be the best pho you will ever have in the bay area. - Pho could have more meat in it. Seriously, its not too much to ask for at least 1 chicken breast worth of meat in your pho is it? - Tight space thats usually full. Overall, its a 3 star place because there's nowhere else thats better. You won't be disappointed but you will be left asking if more could have been done. This is NOT a date night place where you can leisurely sit and chat a little longer. The servers will softly attempt to push you out so they can turn tables quickly.

  • Thi N.

    Good food, quick service! My only issues with this place is whenever I'm "helped" by the male severs, they are kind of rude. The minute I sit down, they literally give me 2 minutes to order. He comes back and says "What do you want? " granted if it only happened once or twice or if they were busy, I could by pass it. But EVERY SINGLE TIME the male server waits us its the same attitude. Now my family and I just order our food togo. I strongly believe that good service makes your food taste better!

  • Brandon R.

    Great place. I love the decor and all of the staff seem to like working there and are very friendly and most importantly observant as far as customer needs. I would for sure give the food 5 stars for its flavor, portion size, and freshness, and reasonable prices. They lose one star though because the place could use a bit of thorough cleaning to take care of dust and other stuff. The only other critique I have is that I would much rather have my flatware/chopsticks brought out with my meal as opposed to being stored at the table in containers. Who knows his many people have handled them. I would totally recommend this place and I will be back again soon.

  • Ryan C.

    Creasian is consistently delicious! They make fantastic pho, and their chicken mushroom dish is full of flavor. It can get busy though, but there's also a location in downtown Brentwood that's usually less impacted, albeit not open as late. Strong recommend.

  • Sam F.

    My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our meals; she had #53 with Chicken, and I had #51 with beef. Both dishes are excellent. We also both got our food spicy, and it did not disappoint. A very pleasant heat level, building up over the course of the meal. Price is solid, service is weird- we were offered some egg rolls that were accidentally prepared, and it felt oddly like buying something off the back of a truck. Still, could not detract from the excellent food.

    Food is a LOT better than you'd expect for the price & location and. It's not luxurious food but they do a really good job, some dishes are delicious. There's an outdoor area where kids can walk around. The staff doesn't know how to handle seating people. A line, lots of empty tables, people seated out of order. I'd still recommend it but not if you have anyone impatient with you.

    I love this place. The first couple times I came here I didn't know how I felt about it- the menu is a little long and overwhelming. But I've probably been here now about 10 times, and it's consistently good. My favorite is the eggplant with choice of meat (I pick chicken) in the wok fried section. The eggplant and chicken are cooked perfectly and it has an amazing basil flavor. The soup is good too, as are the garlic noodles with lemongrass chicken. Next thing I want to try is the curry! If you want a new Asian restaurant to try I highly recommend it!

    My wife loves the beef soup and i the shaking beef cubes, #53. The potatoes are very good and the way they do the bell peppers is very good, as i normally do not eat bell peppers. We eat her 2 to 3 times per month.

    I have to say, I was and am still very new to Vietnamese food, but I have now been here at least twice and will continue to come back for more when I am in the area. Firstly, the food looks and tastes extremely fresh. The ingredients seem top quality and the presentation of every dish I have ordered has been visually pleasing and definitely encouraging of eating it. Secondly, the service is outstanding. The servers were attentive, made recommendations only when asked (and good ones at that), and brought out our food immediately when it was ready, so no lukewarm dishes! The restaurant space itself is very large, open, and inviting, and they do have outdoor seating for the weather is not 145 degrees or freezing cold (rare moments in Antioch). Thirdly, the portions are great and the value versus price is right in sync with each other. Yes, there might be a bit too much food served per plate, but the food keeps well and reheats nicely as leftovers for lunch the next day. You could seriously just go in there for a bowl of their delicious and well-portioned pho with a beer and get out for barely ten dollars! In a sea of monotonous strip mall architecture and endless suburban tract homes, this is a refreshing reminder that good, non-chain restaurants can exist in suburban spaces. The people of Antioakleywood (Brentiochley maybe?) would do themselves well to try this place out and let it be their new go-to for delicious, fresh, modern food when they can't make up their minds on where to go out for dinner!

    Tried Cre Asian Flavors of Vietnam for the first time today. Based on the four star rating, I expected the place to be busy, so I opted to get our food to go. And... I can't say that I enjoyed it very much. To be honest, I was quite disappointed. What we ordered: - crispy egg rolls - wonton soup - #55 lemongrass chicken (chicken stir fried with onion, lemongrass, and chili in garlic sauce) served with rice - #66 garlic noodles with shaking beef cubes (cubes of filet mignon wok-tossed in house sauce with bell pepper, onion and potato sauce) served with garlic noodles - #67 garlic noodles with lemongrass chicken (chicken stir fried with onion, lemongrass, and chili in garlic sauce) served with garlic noodles The staff that I encountered were friendly enough. The food was okay, but not exceptional. If I were to return, I might still order the wonton soup and the egg rolls. Both were the highlight of the meal. I went back and forth as to whether I should give a 2 or a 3 star and in the end... the wonton soup and the egg rolls won out... and a 3 star it shall be.

    I've been ordering #19 & it has been great each time. The broth is a genuine beef broth. #50 is also good. 5 pieces of shortribs & flavorful.

  • James D.

    The food and service are amazing. We have been here three times and our orders have all arrived in less than 7 minutes. This is also probably the best Vietnamese food outside of San Francisco. The number 67 and 68 are fantastic along with the short ribs. The owner greeted us is already opening another restaurant in Pittsburg.

  • Kara O.

    Not bad! I didn't have too many expectations for this place since Brentwood isn't really known for Asian food. I went once in August and again last Saturday ordering completely different things. The garlic noodles were really good and my personal favorite vermicelli bowls with the fish sauce. The bowl was actually pretty good! I got the lemongrass chicken which was alright, didn't have too much flavor but it wasn't overcooked or anything. The bowl was filling but a little too much lettuce for me. Overall, the food was neither bad nor amazing but if I'm in the area I'd go back.

    (3)

  • Stephany M.

    I think they're food is delicious and the service the night we went was awesome. The only reason why I'm giving this a 4 star is because I don't like how they have the utensils on the table for everyone to touch. I don't know where people's hands have been or how many kids reached out to touch them. I'd rather take advantage of takeout!

  • Nakul B.

    This place is pretty cool! They have decent size restaurant that offers ample seating, but in the winters there outdoor section is closed cause of the cold so it can get busy during winter season. I have gone here 3 times and have tried a variety of their food. I love their pho, the broth is very tasty and the meat is delicious. I have gotten the Garlic noodles with Lemon pepper chicken, and that was very tasty but a bit too much garlic on the noodles. Maybe it was just that one time, but not that tasty when it's drowned in garlic. The service is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and very efficient. They approach you to seat you as soon as you enter, and they are avidly checking on their tables regularly. The service is quick and it feels like a well run restaurant. If you go on a friday/saturday night, there might be a 15-20 minute wait, but I suggest holding it out and trying this food. You'll love it! It's decently priced, and their portions are pretty big! TLDR: Great place for Pho or rice/noodle dishes! A bit crowded during winter season.

    The food is great and price isnt bad either. Service is top notch even on a busy Friday night. The "large" bowl is really huge, Beef broth had good flavor, not watered down or salty. This has the makings of a go-to Pho place for me!

    I can't rate the food as I was not able to sit down and eat. I walked in for lunch today and waited about 5 min to be seated. Two employees walked right past me and didnt bother to acknowledge me so I walked out and went next door to the Afghan place which had good food. So this rating is based on service.

    Their food is amazing. Anything you order is satisfying. Their service is excellent as well. We were also welcomed by the owner. He is very friendly and informed us about his new restaurant opening in Pittsburg. Since we are new to the neighborhood, I believe this would be a spot to go to when we're craving for some vietnamese food.

    Definitely one of our favorite places to eat in Brentwood! I remember the first time my husband and I came, the service was fantastic and the food was super good. We asked the waiter what was good and he responded with, "everything!" We have not been disappointed with anything we have ordered. We take family who are visiting here and they love it too!! The restaurant is usually pretty busy, but for good reason. The food is delicious, fresh and usually pretty fast. Service is good, bordering on ok. (It seems that sometimes they are too busy to fill your water cup, but not too busy when it's time to pay) Overall, we love this place!!

  • Michelle S.

    You want to know if this place is any good? Try coming in on a Friday or Saturday evening.... The place is PACKED. And rightly so. They've earned my repeat business many times over, and it's clear I'm not alone. The flavors are wonderful. Amazing noodle and stir fry dishes. My favorites are the lemongrass chicken vermicelli and the garlic noodles. My husband loves their chicken noodle soup and their curry (Which is almost more like a soup, and sooooooo good!). If you like Asian flavors, you will love this place. And very well priced! We usually have dinner for $20-30 for 2 people.

Had #50 Short Rib Combo with Shrimp for myself and Wifey, along with #52 Combination fried rice, and #66 Garlic noodle with beef.. .all very tasty! Price is average but the amount of food they give you outweighs the price. Definitely will be back! Oh, staffs are nice and very attentive!

    This place is on a downward spiral. I've been a customer here since the first year they opened at this location and boy what a few years will do. Food is still good but customer service totally SUCKS! They have gotten so busy that their customer service is ZERO and they are RUDE on top of it! So if you don't care about customer service, more power to you.

    I am an avid Pho eater. I usually go to DaNang. Which is amazing. However, Creasian was delicious! chicken Noodle pho & fresh spring rolls. My meal was made complete with the hot tea. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

  • Shane B.

    I tried this place based on a recommendation. Let me start by saying there are not a lot of good "eats" in this area so I am not surprised that it was busy. I ordered the spicy pork ,beef and tendon noodle soup. I asked the guy who helped us if it had MSG and he said yes, fair enough I ordered it anyway. The liquid itself was flavorful, perhaps too much as the MSG was REALLY STRONG. There were a few small pieces of meat a couple were really tender but the rest of the meat was fatty with hard grisel. Overall I felt like I could have boiled some water, threw in a beef boulion cube and a couple of hefty tablespoons of ACCENT food flavor and wala!

  • Pushka G.

    Yum! We have been here twice now, and in 1 week. Excellent Food! Everything is fresh and prepared to perfection. Last night I tried the Pho. Loved it. It's not greasy like some places can be. We had a Pad Thai with chicken at the table. It was so enjoyed that apparently it's the best Pad Thai she ever had. We had a Pork Chop dinner that was cut thin and smelled divine. I didn't even get a taste of that one. The service is out if this world great. We were approached by 3 different people checking in to see if we need anything. Wonderful! Our new go to Vietnamese restaurant!!!!

  • Kelly R.

    5 stars! We're here literally all. The. Time. So delicious! Service is always prompt and courteous. Portions are HUGE. The BF and I share, and are sided before the bowl is finished. HIGHLY recommend the papaya salad. If you haven't tried it, you're in for a treat. The papaya is not sweet like the fruity papaya most of us think of. Instead, it's more veggie/cucumber like. The shrimp adds a subtle sweetness. Also recommend the curry soup. It's my everyday, go to. Loaded with flavor, veggies, potato, and meat (we get chicken). Simple, fresh and delicious. Food you can feel great about! Whatever they do in the kitchen is working!

  • Melanie P.

    Took my toddler daughter here on a Mommy & Me date. We ordered the shaking beef with garlic noodles and shared. Also ordered a Thai tea with boba for myself and a strawberry boba for her. The beef was nicely cooked and tender. Garlic noodles were ok, and Thai tea was yummy. My daughters strawberry boba was way too sweet - tasted like thick syrup. Our waitress offered to exchange it so we asked for avocado. We waited awhile but per our waitress the manager/owner did not want to make us another one and took it off our bill instead. I guess that's fair, but I feel like that was rude and it just left a bad taste in my mouth. 2 stars for the kind wait staff and shaking beef.

  • J W.

    This time dining there was somewhat disappointing. The portion size for our meals were less than what we normally get. Wished it wasn't. Also, there was not enough meat and other ingredients in the pho. We hope this was just a mishap with the portion size and the ingredients. Since the food is still good, we'll give the restaurant another try and if the portion sizes are smaller next time, we most likely won't eat there again.

    Who is that short girl working in the counter? she has really bad attitude. we've been going to this place for a long time and all the services are great except for her. She doesn't smile & not even friendly. We ordered to go and we asked for extra sauce. she said we have to pay extra which is fine but its the way she said it like its extras work for her. we really like the food here so we told all our friends & family & co-worker to come here & try the food. Now, we will spread the word about her attitude....because of her i lost my appetite.

  • EllenMarie S.

    This is my place to go to when I feel like Vietnamese now! This time around,it has reached excellent food status now. Love their eggplant and chicken rice dish(they do it as chow mein too -and their chow mein is not on the menu,but you can special order it and tell what you want in it and it was better than Chinese restaurants!). The eggplant just literally melts in your mouth-the way it is supposed to be! They give so much on a plate-I never am able to finish the plate so great to take home and enjoy again! Love their spring rolls and pork chop dish with fried egg over the rice and the slabs of shortribs are huge! Service is friendly and they are quick now!

    (5)

  • Rafael S.

    The pho is large and ponderous, heavy, like a night stuck in the Hong Kong airport circa 1985. The short ribs were cindered nearly beyond recognition. The girls behind the counter were attentive but the waiters wandered and chatted forever before we could get their attention with the check. This is kind sharply Westernized Asian food that defines a three-star rating. The best thing you can say about it that each portion serves 2-3, so be ready to accommodate a take-out container.

    (3)

  • Sam I.

    My family's favorite Vietnamese place, and mine too. Summertime staple: rice vermicelli bowls with barbecued meat and crispy egg rolls. Wintertime or anytime: pho with steak or chicken noodle soup. All yum yum!

  • Nick D.

    Tried this spot out for dinner on Sunday to see what all the noise was about regarding their garlic noodles. We got there at 6pm and the place was packed! We ended up sitting out in the patio but it was kind of weird; it's part of the resto but sure doesn't feel or look like it. Just a bunch of random patio tables spread all over the place, unlike the enclosed patio of the Mexican resto next door. We started with their fried calamari. Apparently the appetizer FC is the same as the entree FC, but the entree is +$2 because it comes w/rice. I had the BBQ pork chop, the s/o had their BBQ chicken, and we shared an order of the garlic noodles. The FC was okay, it was basically calamari steak that was cut up. There were no jalapenos as the menu stated, just bell pepper and green onions. I wouldn't order it again. Our entrees were pretty standard fare, but the garlic noodles, ehh...why was it topped with Parmesan cheese? Thankfully it was just a teaspoon worth and it didn't taste horrible, but it was just different, maybe they were just trying to westernize it? Their garlic noodles will ease your GN fix, but it is a far, far, cry from what you'll get in the city, so don't set your hopes up too high. Overall, food was decent, and although we thought we'd be neglected being that we were seated out in the patio in the furthest table in the corner, the staff was pretty on top of things, especially keeping our iced waters topped off. Overall good stuff, we'll be back!

    I come here a lot. It gets busy fast but the food comes out quick. I've dined in and gotten orders to go. They're always super friendly and the food tastes fantastic. My favorite is the #33 - Vermicelli with pork and shrimp. Their egg rolls are to die for!

  • Cobina-Marie D.

    I came here last week with my boyfriend. This wasn't my first time, I've come here a few times and I loved the food. But, this recent experience last week was not the greatest. First of all, why is Railroad closed on Tuesdays but Lone tree isn't? Anyhow, we came in and were seated. The waiter never gave us any menus within the 10 min of us sitting there and we did not receive any water. I had to get this mans attention just to get a menu. You would think once a customer comes to your attention on help, you would be more attentive!? No, the man gave us menus after asking but still no water. I had to raise my hand to order and I also had to ask for water. The restaurant was not crowded at all OR full. A family sat next to us and I can also hear them complaining that they weren't being tended to. After ordering we got our meals but we also ordered some boba drinks. We didn't get our drinks until after 15 min of our meal and we also had to remind him about that as well. After asking for water the second time, we had to ask a third time because they never came! Really? We were in plain site. Ridiculous. Not going back to the Lone tree location. Good food, but service sucks.

    Does it bother anyone else that they bring you your bill pretty much right after they bring you your food? We weren't even halfway done with our food when we got the bill...this has happened both times I've come to this restaurant. The first time, I had to order another drink and a to go order...so they had to update the bill. Thank you for making me feel like I need to hurry up and eat so I could leave! Food is just okay...what type of Vietnamese spot doesn't have a flavorful, garlic chili oil!?!?!

    I love this place. The food is delicious and the staff is always very attentive. It can get packed around 6 or so, but the wait time isn't too long. Had I wrote this review a week ago I'd give it 5 stars, but my favorite dish was extremely salty last night.

    The shaking beef was super juicy and tender and full of flavor thru and thru!! The garlic noodles that accompanied the shaking beef was amazing! Their hu thieu seafood noodles was on point!

    You can't do better than this place, everything I've ordered is always delicious. We go there so much that we don't even need to look at the menus and the waiters and waitresses know exactly what we want. This is a family owned business and they treat everybody fantastic. The best PHO I have ever had. You won't be disappointed. The prices are so reasonable. The staff is great but more importantly the food is wonderful.

    Love, love, love CreAsian! The first time I tried it I had to come back three days in a row. Everything I've ordered has been rich, full flavored and delicious. The plating is attractive too. The efficiency of the place is pretty impressive. Your food comes almost as soon as you've ordered it. The food is a 5 star, the service a 4.25. All that is lost is lost to the sheer volume of customers that pass through there. You can't expect intimacy or quiet at the pace they have to move and you can't expect very personal service. Though the servers are personable, they're just too dang busy to sweet talk. Can't fault them for success. But maybe hold back 1star.

    I'm really confused as to why everyone I know really likes this place while it's not as good for me. I tried it 4-5 times thinking that maybe it was just the food I ordered but my opinion still hasn't changed ever since. I've tried the lemongrass beef, seafood pho, baby back ribs clay pot, and something else that I can't remember. For my most recent visit there, I got the grilled beef short ribs and fried egg. That plate was probably the best out of all the others I've ordered before. But it still didn't impress me too much. However, I'd have to say that their garlic noodles was pretty good. Unfortunately, it was a bit too oily for me.

  • Alex U.

    We went to this place on a whim. I was surprised by how good the food actually is. We started with spring rolls, calamari, and sweet and sour chicken wings. All the dipping sauces are homemade and very flavorful. My favorite was the calamari with lemon pepper dipping sauce. The calamari was fried to perfection and not chewy. My entrée was mushrooms with chicken, from the wok portion of the menu. Medium spicy was not spicy, but still flavorful. The service was ok, that's why there wasn't a fifth star.

    My family and I were in today 4/11 and I ordered the #28 that is listed on the menu as Noodle Soup. I let two waiters know that there was very little noodles and the second waiter went to the counter and told who I believe was in charge that I wanted more noodles. This person loudly said that its pork soup and that's all the noodles. There was also no pork. Just beef and tendon.i will certainly not go back to your restaurant. I am a regular at Da Nang Tourang and tried Creasian on the word of Yelp. Very dissatisfied with the service and attitude and the food.

    Walked in to a very busy Saturday night right at peak dinner hour. We were getting our food togo so they directed us right in to the bar. Friendly staff, clean restaurant. We ordered pho soup and a pineapple smooth with tapioca. The drink was really sweet but tasty. We also got a order of spring rolls, they forgot the peanut sauce :(...but the meat inside was marinated so that was a plus. We will be back for sure.

    This place is very upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant. I been to plenty, and their ambiance is unique compared to others. Their food came out super quick, which I really liked since I was starving when I came. Their service was good, I was greeted, seated, and I wasn't rushed either to order. This place is like every other Asian place, you can't expect the best service, where your server refills your drinks and checks up on you. If you ask they will give it to you.

    I would give them 5 stars due to the price and food but they screwed up my order. I ordered the famous pork chops instead I receive beef tips. I didn't check my food till I made it home. Well I guess I can blame myself as well. Me and my daughters order only came up to 14bucks which is great. The meat is very flavorful season well. The environment is busy & tight. young staff so I guess that's why they gave me the wrong order. I'm willing to try them again soon.

    My wife and I went here for the first time and really enjoyed it. We were seated quickly, we ordered an appetizer (fried egg rolls) which was delicious and came with a lot more than we expected. I ordered #66 (can't remember the name) which is what the waitress told me was their most ordered and my wife ordered the fried rice with chicken. I loved my meal because it came with a variety of different things, noodles, filet mignon, peppers, onions, potatoes, tomato.... Every bite was different. My wife loved hers too, and she is very particular with her rice. I tried her meal and thought it was kind of bland and was happy I ordered mine. The pricing was outstanding for the amount of food you get. We will probably have another dinner with the left overs and be full. The service was one of the best I've ever received at a restaurant. We were never was left without water, the waitresses were all nice, food was brought out quickly. Everything a customer would want, we got. The ONLY downfall, and reason I did not give it 5 stars is because we ate outside and there were a million flies landing on us and the food. So if it's nice outside, this is your warning.

    My girlfriend introduced me to this place a few months back. I'm obsessed (with her AND with the food, of course). It seems that every time I find myself in Antioch during the day, I start craving their Thai Iced Tea. We're semi-regulars here, so I feel like I can vouch for the yummyness (is that a word?) of their food. Order anything there. Really. It's all good. And that's coming from a Lafayette girl. Ah, Lafayette. A place where the thought of eating at a restaurant with less than four dollars signs or one that's not Michelin-starred produces anxiety. The only thing this place needs to work on is their customer service. We showed up one time with a smaller appetite than usual, so we asked to just share one entree. So we got our one entree...with one glass of water. Haha, server. We totally get it. We only get one glass of water because we only ordered ONE entree. What a hoot. In closing, try this place. You'll be back for more.

    Cre Asian is by far the best restaurant I have been to. Not only is the food excellent the staff is amazing. They always take care of us. This is our weekly date night place. My favorite meal is a #66 and my husband loves the pho. Every thing we have tried is excellent. Also the boba drinks and Thai tea are excellent. All around a wonderful place. I want to thank them for everything!

    This place is so damn good. I had the papaya said today. I give it 5 starts, the shrimp was fresh, and fruit was crisp and tasty. The flavors were on point, the service was fast and very friendly, the place was literally packed but they served people quickly food the looked amazing. I had weight loss surgery so I am generally very restricted and seldom satisfied when I eat out, but I am never disappointed when I go to this place. It's a God sent to Antioch as we don't have a whole lot of really good fresh small restaurants. There are a lot of chains. This place deserves all the stars we can give them.

  • BigBad W.

    This is a pseudo Viet cuisine. The dishes sound Viet, but come out low grade Chinese, poor quality and a lot of corn starch-ish "goop" with what tastes like HFCS. Everything tastes the same. The one star is for the great service the wait-staff provide (five-star) If this is the only place you have tried Vietnamese food, then no, you have not had Vietnamese food yet! Will not go back!

    I got a recommendation to Cre Asian by a good friend of mine who has often frequented this restaurant. We decided to go there for lunch one afternoon. The restaurant has a nice clean appearance as well as a casual atmosphere. I have been to Cre Asain a total of four times now. I am a vermicelli fan and have eaten serval versions of that dish here. I would say that the meat is grilled well and has good flavor. In addiction the other ingredients seem to be fresh. I also just delight in there fresh spring rolls they are amazing and so delicious. I would go as far to say they are some of the best I've encountered. My friend frequently has the pho here she says it is just okay. It is more on the bland and greasy side. Definitely not like the pho you would get in a large city such as San Jose or San Francisco. Another plate I have tried was lemongrass chicken. I can not honestly remember how it tasted at this point, it has been awhile since I tried it. I would go off me not remembering it as a sign it was okay to eat but not memorable or spectacular but I also have not a complaint about it's taste. I would add that it is decent for the bentwood area which does not seem to have a big selection of gourmet or "foodie" type restaurants. I am giving my rating as three stars. I would say the food is over all good. The ingredients seem overall fresh. I would say the service is not the best I have experienced. The service on an average in my experience starts off decent, the food comes then it slows down. The last time I was here I had a difficult time getting any waiters attention for some water or chopsticks. One waiter started off and another waiter snipped at them for taking there table. The second waiter did not come around for a good five minutes after we where seated to begin with. Then they seemed to be lost somewhere else in the restaurant and did not end up getting the opportunity to ask for water until we where finishing up with our food. The staff seem nice but for a semi to minimal crowed restaurant seem to be extremely distracted. On one occasion we waited about 15 minutes just to get the tab.

  • Angela L.

    Normally I'm not really a Vietnamese/Pho person but I do like this place because they offer a nice selection of items that are not Pho. The lemongrass chicken is always my fave here, very tasty. It's clean and friendly although I personally could do without the giant TV on, it's hard for conversation due to the distraction.

  • Luis H.

    Not really my ideal place for Vietnamese food. Seems like a fine place from a customers point of view, but from a staff's point of view it's a different story entirely. Cigarettes are being smoked as well as being left on the counter to ash, food is occasionally undercooked or dropped on the floor only to be picked up and served, and the kitchen in general is dirtier than my bathroom. Really wish this place wasn't as bad as it is. Sorry but my girlfriend and I will not be returning.

    Every time I am by this place for business or traveling I ALWAYS stop here. It is one of my favorite places to eat because the food is AMAZING and fresh. Great service and wonderful atmosphere. If you are out this way stop by and get Garlic Noodles with Lemongrass Beef. Nothing better for lunch. Ever!

  • Deedre S.

    OMG! I have my favorite Pho place in Antioch, heck, Contra Costa County but this place is a very close second. Best of all is not only is their Pho good but those rice dishes and plates are fabulous. They even sell garlic noodles. On top of the food the customer service is good. I hope you all can visit some day and enjoy this place as much as I do.

  • Michelle S.

    There really aren't many places to get Vietnamese food in this area and although I've been here quiet a few times already I had to mention the customer service from my last dining experience here. Although the food tastes great, the service that we received didn't level up to it. We we're still eating when we received our bill; we decided to try to quickly finish our food and possibly ask for a box. Our waiter comes to our table and assume that we've finished eating and decides to stack the plates and cleans our table with our leftover foods. At this point, we haven't given him the bill yet. We were a bit disappointed because we were hoping to get our leftovers packed up to eat for the next day. Aren't most places suppose to ask "May I take your plate?" before automatically assuming? Maybe we'll just do take out next time.

    I finally found a go-to pho place closer to home (Oakley)! Usually I've been trekking out to the Concord area to get my Vietnamese fix. PHO: I always judge pho on two qualities--the meat and the broth. When I get beef pho I want everything in it--tripe, tendon, flank, THE WORKS! I'm not kidding, I will eat an entire cow. And Cre Asian delivers it all. The meat is fresh and tender. But the best part is the flavorful broth--you don't even need to add hoisin sauce or Siracha to enhance any part of its soupy deliciousness. You only need a little bit of lime juice and a handful of basil leaves to brighten up the overall flavor and you're good to go! The noodles are also firm and don't clump together. A regular bowl is big enough to fill me up. VERMICELLI BOWLS: Today was hot so I also wanted a dish that wasn't warm and a vermicelli bowl fit the bill. I got the LEMONGRASS BEEF bowl and the portion was huge! All the flavor comes out through the beef--it's spicy with just a hint of sweetness. I opted for my dish to be mildly spicy, which was a good choice since there were already jalapenos and red chile peppers floating around my bowl when it arrived. I'll kick it up a notch to medium or spicy when the weather cools down (or when I catch a bad cold!). PRICE: Pretty inexpensive for lunch that isn't fast food! I would still say that Concord is a bit cheaper, but this place is much closer for me. Total bill for 2 bowls of pho and a vermicelli bowl was less than $25. SERVICE: It was pretty busy on a late Sunday afternoon, so our food took a bit longer to get to us. We had to really work to flag down a waiter for extra bowls or water. ATMOSPHERE: This is a smaller restaurant so I'm not sure if they can accommodate large groups. But it's a bright and pleasant place to eat if you're shopping in the Lone Tree area.

    Finally a competitor to Brentwood's pho restaurant in downtown! The service at this place is more than satisfactory in that the servers are efficient and knowledgeable about the food served, so don't worry if you're not too familiar with Vietnamese cuisine! You'll be in safe hands. The fam and I went here lunch time after Church, and this place gets crackin'! I love how this place has patrons from different cultural backgrounds. It's just nice to see a myriad of people having an appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine in this neck of the woods where there is little variation in restaurants. So I got my usual Pho Dac Biet and maybe I just put too much Hoisin sauce but the broth was aight at least in comparison to pho restaurants in more metropolitan areas like San Jose. I do recommend getting the spring roll and the fried egg noodles (something basket, sorry completely forgot the name of it but I got pictures!!). Also, they have a kids' menu! Yay restaurants with kids' menus!! Overall, I recommend this place for those who live in the Oakley/Brentwood/Discovery Bay area!!

  • Aisa M.

    There are very few places that are comparable to the broth they have here and they're in the city or in the South Bay. Or in another country. My fav plate is number 27 with rice noodles. You can never go wrong with a yummy bowl of pho! Great hangover food too haha... People are great too. If you don't haven't tried it yet, you should.

    This is my third visit here and have been satisfied each time. #66 is my favorite so far with the garlic noodles and beef cubes of filet mignon. The service is on point with no long waits between ordering and receiving your food. I will be going back at least once a week.

    i just moved to Brentwood from San Jose 6 months ago. I didn't realize how spoiled I was in San Jose with so many amazing places to eat until coming here. Brentwood has a lot of choices for food but unfortunately it's mostly mediocre chain restaurants. Yuk:( Creasian stands out as one of the best places in Brentwood without a doubt. Excellent food and service. I keep trying new items and have been very pleased each time I go there. Huge value for the money!

    Pros: -The waiters and waitresses are so incredibly friendly and accommodating. Seriously. Best I've ever had. They smile so genuinely, it's amazing. A+++++++ -Their boba drinks are delicious! Cons: -The curry I bought was 80% water and onions. (I do NOT recommend ordering this) -There is NO ONE who speaks Vietnamese here. Complete disgrace. Actually, there is one guy, behind the counter, but he was too busy IGNORING us to help us. -My mom ordered The House Special and had a specific noodle she wanted to eat. She didn't specify to the waiter, so that's her own fault. Even though I have never sent food back to the kitchen ever before my mom wasn't willing to eat the noodles she was given, so I requested that they switch out the noodles for the ones she wanted. I watched the waiter give it to the guy behind the counter and he visibly huffed, puffed, and rolled his eyes. I get that we're giving you more work to do but don't be so blatant about it. Keep a professional attitude, you're in complete view of customers. -Their waitressing system is awful. While I was waiting for my food, I watched them mess people's orders up twice, give food to the wrong table 3 times, and they gave us someone else's check. Once, the waiter even called out, "Is there a (insert name) here?!?" (Because they couldn't figure out which table gave them the credit card/debit card in their hands... ) Talk about wow. They have no sense of organization at this place. -The man behind the counter is incredibly rude, inconsiderate, and full of attitude. He needs to brush up on his social skills.

    Came to visit my old friend who lives out here in the boondocks. BRENTWOOD, you are a lovely town. After a visit to his wonderful abode, we wanted to try this Asian place he was raving about. Not quite Vietnamese, not quite Thai, Creasian is a nice combination of the two cuisines. Since it was about 45 degrees outside, we all opted for some soul soothing, body warming Pho. To add a little variety, we also ordered a calamari appetizer. The calamari arrived within a few minutes of ordering. Lightly deep fried and nicely mixed with onions, chiles, and peppers; definitely a taste for the senses. Then came our individual bowls of Pho. The soup was excellent, flavorful and not too salty. A regular size bowl here is equivalent to most large bowls at other Pho restaurants. The service was great; our server was rather 'pleasant to look at'. I got an elbow to the ribs for making a more flattering compliment from my lady friend. (seems as though some women can't tolerate another woman getting compliments; sheesh, the madness) Anyhow, before I get another contusion to the ribs, come here for the food and only for the food. It doesn't matter what your server looks like, the food is excellent.

    I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food. I grew up in SF and had pho from all over the bay. This place hits the spot everyone with their pho and combo plates. There regular dishes are pretty good as well like the ribs. Quick and good service is a bonus. Of all the Vietnamese places on Brentwood, I regard this one as the best.

  • Eve M.

    I've eaten here about 4 times. Unfortunately today will be the last. I ordered the garlic noodles with shaking beef, it's always been delicious, however, today my dish came with some extra protein in the form of a COCKROACH. To top it off upon checking my bank, the restaurant charged me and my friend twice. They voided the unauthorized charge, but chose to ignore the cockroach issue. I will never return to this establishment, my experience was just a little too authentic. I hope the restaurant takes more precaution when preparing their food, I get it, you can't catch every bug, I'm just sad it happened to me.

    I can't say enough about this place. It's one of my favorite restaurants in the east bay. All the food here is fresh and bursting with flavor! Staff here is amazing. Lacey is the best waitress she is very sweet, attentative, and fast. She also introduced me to my all time favorite dishes which are clay pot with rice, or clay pot with glass noodles. Their portions are perfect. The spring rolls are a must have with every order. And recently I ordered the fried chicken wings! Delicious! The cooks here are skilled and get you addicted after one meal. I've ordered a meal for me and my family at least once a week, sometimes twice a week as the food is healthy and fresh. Calling in orders is also a pleasure as the staff is always helpful and polite on the phone even when they're extremely busy. Oh yeah I almost forgot. Number 33 is my mom's favorite. It's packed with crisp fresh vegetables, rice noodles, and BBQ pork and BBQ shrimp with a fish sauce. I've had it a number of times and have not been disappointed. It's healthy and packed with flavor.

    AWESOME Vietnamese Food (Considering it's in Brentwood!) This place continues to amaze me every time I go in here. I've been here at least 10 times and usually try to get something different. I've had their rice dishes, which are all consistently good. Their pho is above average, I wish they included more vegetables, but you can always ask for more. The clay pots and stir fried dishes are pretty good as well! Being Vietnamese, I think I know what makes a good viet dish, so I can definitely put my stamp of approval on this place. I just wish they served banh mi's...I can dream I guess!

    I eat here all the time I'm a super regular I've only had a couple things from the menu vermicelli bowl with shrimp and beef, rare steak pho, and their spring rolls I love their spring rolls there's nothing super special about them I just like them better than other places I've had them . The beef pho is ok I have to agree with other helpers the broth is weak compared to the. Good places like in San Jose or other areas however the turn down about this place is defiantly the service it just flat out sucks it seams to be family Owned and there is one server girl who is there all the time but since she is often left to serve everyone in the restaurant it can be awhile before she gets back there are several women that I believe are part of the family that literally sit with their backs to the customers and I mean this has happened more than one time like I said I'm. Regular ........ All in all I eat here because its a block from my house but if you looking for amazing or To fill that homesick void of your moms cooking this is not your place It is clean inside stated also by other yelpers

    The service is great and the food is awesome. We love everything that we ordered. We ordered Pad thai (delish), shaken beef (d best! It is Soft and tasty), baby back ribs in claypot (yummy) and d tamarind catfish soup (soooo good). And the price is reasonable. I coild have given it 5 stars but the place is a little bit small for an awesome restaurant.

  • Judy N.

    Notes to self: 1. NEVER come here when it's cold. It was freezing outside when we had dinner here and it was freezing inside. No heating and every time somebody opened the door, a blast of cold air hit every table near the door. You know it's cold when even the waiter wears a heavy jacket. Every other patron was huddled in their coats. Spent the whole time we were there freezing. Even the pho failed to warm me. In fact, the lack of heat made my pho go cold faster. 2. NEVER come here after 5:30 pm. This place gets packed around dinner time. With the handful of other yummy eats in Antioch (of which Chaman Kabob is one and it's right next door), eating at Creasian isn't worth waiting for a table. Especially when service is pretty subpar once you do get one. When this place gets crowded, expect it to be near impossible to get the attention of any of the servers because they're moving so fast. Our server forgot our drinks and our side of veggies. I understand mistakes can happen, but we had such a hard time waving anybody down to help us, and that's the part that bothered me. We've been regulars here since it opened and regulars at their original location, Pho Vietnam in Brentwood (which is now under new ownership). As a Vietnamese person, I give props this place for representing and for doing a pretty good job of it. This place gets crowded and I can see why. Sure, the food is a bit more expensive compared to DaNang or Pho Vietnam, but understandable given the prime location. The food is good though I don't think as good as it used to be, and that includes the pho. Meat was a little on the skimpy side in my combo pho as well but not a big deal. I still prefer Pho Vietnam over this place, for better value, bigger portions (crazy HUGE portions sometimes), and a more cozy atmosphere. Creasian has a more convenient location though. Overall, 4 stars for food, 3 stars for service. Food is good but not so good that I'm willing to sacrifice service and comfort, when there are a couple of other Vietnamese restaurants just as good in the area. We'll still be regulars here, just never for dinner or in cold weather again.

    Our family visits this place regularly so we have had a good shot at the menu.

    Previous fan from their downtown location. Tried sticking with downtown shop, but quality & quantity has gone down. I have to drive verses walk to get my Vietnamese food kick, but this is worth it. Best Vietnamese food in these neck of the woods. We love their Shaking beef with garlic noodles. And for vegetarian dish, the lemongrass tofu. It gets pretty crowded at lunch time. Looks like they've added more outside for these nice summer nights.

    I could kick myself for not eating here sooner! Way better than Panda Express and #'s 51 to 68 can all be made Gluten free, Ho Fun with flat noodles and beef is excellent as is the pad Thai OMG!

    I have been to Cre Asian twice and in both occasions I had a pleasant experience, mainly because the food is very good. Their pho is very good and attention to detail was not spared. Upon getting our pho soups, we saw that the meat (steak or brisket I think) was still rare, slowly cocking in the hot soup. At least we know the meats in the soup is fresh. But what I really like about Cre Asian that stands out from other typical Vietnamese restaurants is their Wok Fried menu. I really appreciate fusion of Chinese and Vietnamese (I think) in their menu. Because if this seamless integration in their menu, plus for the fact that their food is delicious, I will come back to Cre Asian. This is now my defacto Pho in my hometown.

  • Kristina E.

    I thought the egg rolls and curry chicken were excellent. My hubby had the garlic shrimp and said he would go back for it, which means a lot since he's a foodie. lol. The kids even liked the noodles, my oldest had the chicken noodle soup and my middle and littest shared some pad thai. I was not impressed by the fried tofu, the batter was just too thick (more coating than tofu) even though it had a good flavor.

    I've been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed by the food; it's always so good! The portions are nicely sized and they're not terribly expensive. Sit-in service is usually fast and friendly (though some of the servers seem to dress a little less than professional by restaurant standards). My family had ordered take-out once over the phone. When we got back home, we found that they had messed up on our order. Bleh.

    Didn't want to drive into town (concord) for some pho. But my husband and I was craving soup. Being regulars at Kevin noodles, I was a little skeptical but..... Prices are great, serving size is amazing (huge). It's def different but in a good way. It is in comparison to Happy Pho in concord. Great customer service. Their CC machine was down so they offered us options for pay. Left our CC number and asked if they would contact us when they entered the charge. They did just that. Would I come back? YES! RECOMMENDED? Highly!!!

    I am totally sold on this place the food is excellent. This restaurant gets it. So much value I couldn't believe my eyes at how much food they give you and usually if a place gives so much food it's usually not so good but not this place. You will be full and then have tasty leftovers. It's because of this place Antioch is starting to grow on me, maybe. Anyways if you are hungry you can't go wrong here so bring your appetite.

    I love Creasian! They are consistent, good service, and the best pho in the area. The restaurant is clean, and they get the food out quickly.

    we stopped in for lunch with a friend who's vegetarian around 1pm on a wednesday. we were impressed with how busy it was, but not so busy we were unable to find a table. i ordered #71, wide noodles with beef and sprouts - i loved it. hubby ordered no #67 noodles with beef, lemongrass, very spicy - he loved it. our veggie friend ordered tofu, rice noodles and 'stuff' - she had nothing left for a to-go box, it was so good. this is a distance for us to go for lunch, but i hope we have a chance to visit again, there are other items on the menu that i'd love to try. service was excellent, we hardly waited for our meal, once we ordered. highly recommend CreAsian!!

    Had lunch today with a group of 12. We entered about 1:10 and had no trouble getting seated. Our service was spot on. It took about 10-15 minutes to bring all the dishes to our table. I had the Chicken Curry with rice. It was fresh and flavorful. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. We will return on the regular!

    Yummy...yummy...yummy. As CreAsian is in business longer, I find that they, as a whole, have found their rhythm in running their restaurant. Their food preparation is pretty consistent (which, as a customer, I really appreciate) and delicious. Their service, for the most part, is really good. My family and I really enjoy both the food and service here and can't wait to go their again.

    If you are a fan of Pho Vietnam in Brentwood, you will feel right at home here. You know why? Cuz it's owned by the same guys. Except! They do hot pot here. I couldn't resist getting my favorite dish, so I'll save that for another trip. Good location, more central than Pho Vietnam. One main dining room and a little area to eat outside. MY FAVORITE THING: Garlic Noodles! - I crave this dish. The noodles are sprinkled with something crunchy, parmesan maybe? bread crumbs? Either way, its good. The shaking beef can get spicy. They dice the potatoes here instead of criss cut them (I prefer diced). They give you a bunch of veggies (which I don't eat) but it's nice to have. Thai Ice Tea - YUM, The glass is a little on the slim side, but they make it the way I like it. Not too much cream, not too much tea. Perfect ratios. Price is great for what you get. Not bad for lunch or dinner.

    We used to eat at Pho (downtown Brentwood) and loved that place, but then we tried Cre Asian and we are hooked. The service is always prompt and friendly. The lady that seats people recognizes us as "regulars" and that's always nice when noticed. The food is amazing! I love the fact that I can get tofu with pretty much any dish (I'm vegetarian) and I can get it spicy (which I love). My husband orders the same dish every.single.time. we go there because he likes it that much (Lemongrass beef). This is by far, our favorite restaurant in Brentwood.

    I was surprised when I found out this restaurant is owned by the same people as Pho Vietnam ( not impressed with pho vietnam) but I SURE DO LOVE cre-Asian I'm actually addicted! they have so many dishes to choose from and they are all fresh and delicious! I ordered lemon grass chicken-spicy and it was so good also ordered kids BBQ pork ( huge portion ) and my daughter loved it ! I tasted it & it was great! also ordered seafood clay pot, and garlic noodles everything was delicious! everything comes in portions & one dish is enough to share. ( I didn't order everything I listed in 1 day, I came back a couple times) they also offer hot pot for $25 ( that would be my next order) this place is really clean and the customer service is excellent, they also have outdoor seating.

    I usually just come here when I want some good, quick pho noodle soup. My usual order is just a noodle soup and an order of summer rolls, both of which are delicious by the way. I believe that the summer rolls (Vietnamese Spring rolls, etc) are wrapped perfectly and taste really good, too. I could probably eat fifty of those if I was hungry enough probably, lol. The soup is really good too; pretty standard, tasty, and comes out quick. The only bad experience I ever had was on a busy night. It took them a long time to get the orders out, and they even forgot about one of them. Otherwise, I feel it's a pretty good place to go to to have some delicious food.

    My husband and I have been here on several occasions the food is great and it usually comes out very fast. However, the servers need training in customer service. The bill usually comes before we are even done, no offers on refills of water let alone iced tea and when they do bring the bill not one of the servers asks if there is anything else we need (refills on water, perhaps a take out box for our left overs). A customer should never have to ask for these things. I hope the owners read this and improve their service. They need to install blinds on their door and next to it or move their tables around as the sun was blinding against the wall where we were sitting and a large group next to us were sitting.

    This is hands down the most flavorful and affordable restaurant around. My family and I love it here. Kids love k6 and k7 on the menu, the lemongrass chicken and the sliced pork. One of my favorites is the short rib combo. you can come here for salads ,soups, appetizers, heavy dining or lite dining ,it's all here. Service is great too. Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

  • Rachel D.

    This is probably about my 3rd time going here. I like to consider myself a pho connoisseur and I find that this place is pretty good but inconsistent. When I say pretty good, I mean good for the Antioch/Brentwood area. What we ordered: Pho: broth was pretty flavorful (not as good as San Jose) Grilled porkchop with egg: egg was cooked nice and wasn't overcooked. The porkchop and sauce were tasty and cooked well. Thai ice tea: too much milk I like the female waitress. She is very friendly and makes my visit worth going. Hard to find a pho place with good customer service. When they lack customer service, usually they make up for it with their food. Pros: close pretty good pho spot Cons: no soy bean milk, discontinued three color bean drink, inconsistent broth I probably would come here again because its close to my house but I also really like Da Nang for some good friendly pho.

  • Amy T.

    absolutely LOVE this place. i have yet to order something i didnt fully enjoy or had a bad experience. ive been here multiple times. food: their pho is to die for!! best pho ive ever had. the soup is suuuper flavorful and the noodles are cooked perfectly. not to mention theyre always giving plenty of meat. :) their rice plates and vermicelli are also always on point! the garlic noodles are amazing and their pad thai is the best ive ever had! i also tried their pan fried noodles and pan fried glass noodles as well. those two items arent suuuper impressive but theyre still pretty tasty! as for their service, they are always polite and making sure that i have what i need. theyre awesome! im a regular here so it didnt take them long to remember what i usually order all the time. the only downside about this place is how busy it gets! there were a few times where the place was PACKED! even the tables outside were all taken. at least thats how you know its a great restaurant, right? it is always worth the wait though! their food is great and so is their staff! :)

  • Jill N.

    Service is top notch. Attentive & quick without being intrusive. Casual atmosphere. Fresh/healthy food with plenty gluten free options for my sensitive belly. The best pad thai I have ever had...not too much fish sauce! The wonton soup was exceptional too. I am sooo picky about wonton soup, so this is saying a lot. When I saw the food that every other table ordered I was tempted to jump out of my seat, run over to ask them what they ordered so I could try it next time I came. Oh, yes, there will be plenty of next times.....In fact I'm tempted to call in an order every week before I do my Trader Joes run and pick it up after I do my grocery shopping. It is just that good!

  • Elaine R.

    Went there tonight (an hour before closing). I liked how fast our food was served; however, the rice was not fresh, seemed like it had been sitting in a pot for hours. Just as quickly as we were served our food, we were also given our bill, along with a "here, but take your time."-I have never gotten the bill with the food and told to take our time. I also thought it was rude how the staff started stacking the chairs on top of the tables (middle dining section) while we and several other customers were still eating. If I'm not mistaken, that is not proper restaurant decorum. Overall, the food was good (other than the rice), but flow of the business/staff was unorthodox. I will try some other Vietnamese restaurants before returning to CreAsian.

  • Phoebe B.

    The Asian waiter guy is so rude! The food is decent (considering we're in Brentwood) but the awful customer service is almost unbearable! The girl is always pleasant, but that rude guy never fails to ruin our dining experience.

    I've been here a few times and every time I've always had something very yummy. So far, no disappointments! I had the Birds nest that consisted of crispy noodles topped with a saucy combination of bak choy, chicken, mushrooms and shrimp. It was extremely good! My other half had a yummy plate of their BBQ short ribs served with steamed rice. I've had that in the past and we're both very satisfied with it! Overall I'd recommend this place for sure!

  • Ed M.

    The garlic noodles with beef is a must try. The noodles are full of flavor and the sweet flavorful beef is super tender. The pho is pretty good, although I have had better. Still worth a try since there aren't many places for pho in the area. The vermicelli is great. Fish sauce isn't too strong, tons of meat and the toppings are cut perfectly to create a nice blend in each bite. The owner is really nice and helpful if you don't know what to order. Great small business in an area full of chain restaurants. Support your local businesses!!

  • Alan J.

    OK I love food, Mexican (yes), Chinese (yes) Korean (yes)Vietnamese eh not so much. so my mother in law wanted to go here so in we go. Place was pretty empty (after lunch before dinner) so we sit down and order I'm praying that I didn't order some strange stuff that I'll regret. Food came and omg it was superb!! Love it. Having said that though the service was deplorable. Only us and one other table in the place was seated, cant get drink refills, wife needed a knife and no one around to ask. When we complained we had the entire staff around our table!! Guess the other party wondered who we where. Anyway waitress said she was on break (in other words not my fault) sorry don't need excuses folks just service. Anyway after that everything was good. Will think twice before returning but may try it again. maybe.

    This place is amazing. Had the Spring Rolls - the pork is marinated AND barbequed, so delicious I got an order if them to go- Rare Beef Pho - tasty and big portion - Lemongrass Chicken w/ Fried Egg - the best chicken I have had in a long time, tender, juicy, and SO MUCH YUM! And the Prices are beyond affordable. I will probably make this a weekly place.

    The food is really good and the price is not bad at all but I think the service needs to improve. The guy walk away before my wife could even say the drink she wanted. They give you your bill halfway through your meal, feels like their rushing you to eat. Garlic noodles was awesome!!!! Just not the server......

    Let me just say, I nearly cried tears of joy when I tasted the Hieu Tu #26 soup. I moved to Oakley from Daly City where there are SO many good noodle soup options. Since moving here last Fall, I've tried Pho Vietnam, Pho Le... all to my huge disappointment. So when I saw this place while driving on Lone Tree, I knew I had to try it. I came here for lunch today and I am thrilled to say the place did not disappoint! There were plenty of people in there for lunch. It was a good sign to see a clean and modern interior with the siracha and hoisin sauce right on the table. I immediately felt at home. The proof would be in the taste. First I ordered a cafe su da (iced Vietnamese coffee). My waiter didn't flinch at the order, promptly brought that over already stirred and made. I thought I'd miss not brewing it myself over a glass but found it very convenient not having to find a place for the espresso gadget. I ordered the spring rolls - quickly delivered and delicious. Then the moment of truth - the soup. The perfect rice noodle, broth was delicious, toppings perfection. I had to ask for basil but that's not unusual. Go in and see Kevin. Super friendly, brought the south bay flavors to Contra Costa. I'll be back!

  • Dianne B.

    Spring rolls were really good. No complaints there. $4 Seafood noodle soup was mediocre. There was a lot of seafood, noodles and veggies. My only complaint is its's missing flavor. It taste more like beef but it was still pretty good. In time I'm sure they will be a great place! I'll definitely be going back!

    Disgustingly dirty! If by some off the wall reason you want to risk your health, then step into this place. I think that cleanliness should be paramount when running a restaurant. Tables were all messy. Food on every seat. The soda fountain machine has old food bits underneath. The bell pepper in one of our dishes still had the sticker attached it. God awful gross. If the dining area was this bad, imagine how dirty the kitchen must be. First step in running a successful restaurant is cleanliness.

    This is the second Pho place that I've tried in the Antioch/Brentwood area, and I am 0-2. After craving pho for weeks, this place was more than disappointing. I ordered pork and beef pho, fried won tons, fried spring rolls, coffee boba drink, and lemongrass chicken. The pho had these weird, fat noodles, not the rice or vermicelli noodles that I'm used to. The pho was almost tasteless, and there was no pork to be found in the pho, but there was these chunks of liver, DISGUSTING. It wasn't disclosed in the menu that there would be liver in the pho. The fried won tons and spring rolls were so salty. The lemongrass chicken was ok, nothing to rave about. But the rice that came with it was so dry, like it was a few days old. The only thing that was really good was my boba drink. Not too sure how they could possibly mess that up though. I live in Oakley and normal only have pho all the way in Concord and Pleasant Hill. I'm definitely just going to stick to what I know from now on.

    I was disappointed with how the service was here. This place was recommended to me, so I was excited to try it. The food was good, and at first the employees were attentive, but that quickly changed. Once they brought us our meals, they never bothered to check on us again. I placed my empty cup near the edge of the table so I could get a refill, and it stayed there for over 15 minutes. All 3 of the waiters looked at my cup multiple times and none of them bothered to ask if I needed a refill. The place wasn't busy. When I walked in, the place was completely empty, and when I left only two other tables had been sat so they had no excuse for ignoring us. Even when the bill was brought to us, the waitress just dropped it on the table and told us she would be our cashier and left . She didn't bother to ask if we needed anything. This place had a chance of being good, but they need to train better waiters.

  • Janella B.

    I've been here about 4 times so far and the food is pretty good. Had the rare steak and well done flank pho with egg rolls with a Thai ice tea. You get quite a few eggrolls in one order which was nice for the price. The pho cost is about the same as Pho Le on Sandcreek Blvd. Broth was still savory and not overly salty and more than enough meat in my own honest opinion. Compared to other Asian restaurants the service is comparable. I would definitely come here again.

    I want to give this restaurant a one star review for no other reason than selfishness. I don't want more people to discover how wonderful the food is as it may become impossible to get a table. Every meal I have had has been great. We moved here from San Francisco 4 years ago and have been lamenting on the lack of good restaurants in the area. When this place opened, and I had my first meal here, I was so pleased. I come at least once a week (if not more). The shaking beef is flavorful, nice chunks of quality meat with a wonderful sauce. Get the garlic noodles which are just the right amount of garlic. I could go through the menu, but I would be saying the same thing about everything on the menu. GRRRReat!

    (5)

  • Curt G.

    Great food! Our favorites: steak pho noodles, the clay pot, spring rolls. We usually order the spring rolls. The spring rolls are quite tasty with BBQ pork added in the center (comes with a great peanut sauce on the side). The pho noodles are awesome with a great broth and flavor. A generous amount of noodles (can be rice noodles or flour noodles). Fresh basil and bean sprouts on the side can be added to the soup. The clay pot has lots of meat including shrimp and chicken. Wonderful sauce on the rice with the great clay pot flavor.

    (5)

  • Jessica M.

    I highly recommend this place. Have not ordered a bad dish, but my faves are the curry and the clay pot. Very large portions and reasonable prices. The only problems are that the tables are often full and when it's cold outside the wind can sweep thru the room, primarily impacting the tables closest the door. If you have a choice, try to get a table further into the room.

    I'm a huge fan of Vietnamese food and was thrilled when this spot opened. There aren't many Vietnamese options in this area so I appreciate its location first and foremost. I have visited it several times and tried different items on the menu. Pho is one of my favorite items to order at any Vietnamese restaurant. I love a flavorful broth with slippery but slightly firm noodles. I have tried a few different types of pho here and my favorite is the beef broth with any of the different assortment of meat options. The cold vermicelli bowls are also delish and the pork chop is so flavorful! One surprise is the stir fry ho fun with beef. I don't see this in other Vietnamese spots so I ordered it out of curiosity. Plus, ho fun is my favorite style of noodle. What a find! This dish is amazing and is my new favorite item to order. I especially like the fresh vegetables which can vary, I'm assuming, based on what is fresh and available. I have had the ho fun arrive with green beans or with broccoli. Each time, it's never a disappointment. My boyfriend loves the garlic noodles with shrimp or beef and he always gets the fresh spring roll. The unique thing about their spring roll is that they marinate the pork so it is especially tasty. I don't know if I've noticed marinated pork in a spring roll before. The final item I want to mention is the Banh Xeo or Vietnamese Crepe. This is another item I don't always see but try when I do see it. This one has slightly more bean sprouts than I care for and not enough lettuce leaves but I can always get more lettuce. Still, a great tasting item with fish sauce. I feel like the fish sauce is what brings the taste home.

    Best Pho in Brentwood! Clean, great customer service, and decent prices. Their Pho is always delicious, no matter what kind I've tried. Their calamari with that special dipping sauce is finger licking good, and they even have great tasting shakes for the kids. I find myself dining here at least once a month, whether its lunch or dinner. Also, they have a great kids menu which is a plus for me.

    Have been here a few times and overall they have good food. The service is fast for dine-in and even for take out. We like the grilled pork chops and the chicken wings appetizer. Servings are generous and they come with good dipping sauces as well. They also have the bubble drinks and so far we have enjoyed all flavors except the taro which was a weird consistency.Garlic noodles were fine but they are not as consistent in taste as we would like. Dependable option for take-out.

    Came here the other night for a quick late night bite. I'm from LA and was in town visiting my boyfriend who always whines to me about how the Pittsburg, Antioch, etc area needs more diversity with food. We drove by here and decided to give it a shot, without expecting it to be all that great. Lo and behold, we were pleasantly surprised! We both ordered Pho, his with just rare beef and flank, I order the Pho Dac Biet, with everything! Just the way I like it. Definitely not the best pho I have ever had, but it was definitely above average. Vietnamese food is a huge part of my family's heritage, so that's saying a lot because I'm usually really picky about my pho! The best part for me was the fact that they didn't skimp on anything. Huge portions of noodles and meat, tendon, and tripe. My boyfriend really loved the rare meat. It cooked down nice and tender instead of dry and hard like most places. It's a little pricier than pho in the LA area, but considering that there aren't many options in the area, it's worth it. The boy is really excited about finally finding a decent Vietnamese place, too bad it's not a little closer to Pittsburg *hint*hint*. Maybe you guys should open one in downtown Pitt! Just sayin'. :)

    Great food, I was really pleased. The servers could be a little more organized and maybe wear matching uniforms or something, we had 4 different people wait on us and two of them looked like they were just random people who came from outside. But that's a minor complaint. The pho and curry was excellent and I will definitely be going back.

  • Brittany L.

    I'm surprised at the ratings that this place has gotten. I know there aren't many options in the area for Vietnamese food but this restaurant is at the bottom of the list for me. The food is mediocre and Americanized. The lemongrass beef and garlic noodles were dry, and the fried noodle basket lacked any flavor. The grilled pork and catfish claypot were decent but nothing memorable. I would not recommend the smoothies/shakes at all as they are completely bland. Our table was filthy when we sat down. For a decent looking restaurant, I would imagine that clean up would be better. The only saving grace was the service. The waitresses are super friendly and very attentive.

  • Corey G.

    Although I enjoyed the food and service the first time I went to CreAsian, I was very disappointed on my second visit yesterday. Went with a group of six, three of which had never been there. The service was horrible, the food was delivered randomly and received by some in the party after others were already 1/2 way done. The worst part was three items ordered didn't even have the ingredients listed in the menu. One said 'combination clay pot' with chicken, shrimp & mushrooms. No shrimp were to be found. Had to ask and the server didn't even know what was suppose to be there and debated it until she got the menu and saw it stated 'AND'. Others received their dishes with substitutes and when asked, were told oh we don't have that so gave you this instead. Of course, that was after the meals were served. Last but not least, had to flag them down and go up and ask for the check and take out boxes. While I was thrilled the first time I went, this second visit left a bad taste in my mouth all due to service and cooking ingredient missteps.

  • Jane W.

    Both times we have eaten here, the restaurant is full so they're obviously doing something right but it's not customer service. The food both times was better than average. I loved the smoothies. What doesn't work is the fact that they have no idea how to get orders out. We've eaten there with another couples both times with the same result ... the entrees come out one by one and the first person served is finished before the fourth person is served. Tonight was the worst. The other couple got their entrees and began eating because we knew what was going to happen. The waitress came over to refill the water glasses and noticed we didn't have our entrees. "We're backed up tonight", she said. If they were so backed up, how did the other couple get served so fast while we waited and waited. Ten minutes later, we asked her to check again and she said the plates were coming right up. Five minutes later she appeared with our two orders of pad thai. To our astonishment, she set one plate down and took the second plate to another table. We beckoned her back and she said she had been told by one of the chefs to take it to that table. We explained we had both ordered pad thai and it made no sense to show us two plates but not serve both people. About ten minutes later, she served the very last plate of pad thai. By then we had both eaten from the one plate and ended up taking most of the second plate home in a box. After this disorganized service happening twice, I doubt we'll be eating in there again any time soon. Take out is a possibility but so are a number of other Thai restaurants within a few miles.

    This place isn't very authentic. I'm Vietnamese so I know what real viet food should taste like. Their price is high compared to other places. My work orders food from here all the time because it's convenient. Ive had lemon grass tofu (Not On the menu) and it was pretty good but it's not something you can really mess up. I wanted to dine in and check out the place so I convinced my bf to come with me. My bf ordered pho and didn't particularly like it (he LOVES pho and eats it 1-2 times a wk). I ordered Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe). I'm a vegetarian so I asked them to make it vegetarian for me. When the order came there was only bean sprouts In there. I was so confused where all the veggies went, and there wasn't any tofu as i asked. The crepe was dry and normally this dish comes with a dipping sauce but they didn't give me one. I had to use soy sauce packets on the table--what the heck? Not even homemade soy sauce but super salty to go soy sauce packets?? When we were ready to pay, I went up to the register and had to wait a long time for someone to assist me even though it wasn't busy. The girl at the register (as well as the server we had) didn't even crack a smile or give any true service. They only did their business which was to take our order and cash us out. The only good thing I have to say is that the interior is nice, and clean.

  • Christy R.

    I agree with some reviewers here that they need to work on their consistency. I've been here a few times not and it's just not as good as the first couple of times I came here. I thought the Pho was just OK. The calamari that we thought was really good before has drastically shrunk in size. We already thought they could have put a little more in their serving size but the last time we got it, the calamari pieces were so minuscule and it was mostly veggies. We were so disappointed. Had that been the first time we tried it, we probably would not have ordered it again. I noticed a couple of other dishes that have shrunken in size too. The boba drinks are hit or miss. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. It all depends on who makes it. I much prefer Pho Vietnam in Brentwood because they hardly ever disappoint but, since this is closer to home, I'll be back.

    I usually order the Bun Bo Hue, Shaking Beef Cubes, or Garlic Noodles. This place is close and convenient. My wife likes the Green Papaya salad. It is true the spices aren't the same as that of San Jose Vietnamese joints and the prices are higher. But I live in Brentwood and not San Ho.

    I've been to Cre-Asian three times and my experience was great except for one time. I ordered the basil chicken and it did not taste the same the 1st time I had it. I was a bit disappointed. My wife also ordered a steak dish, but the beef was extremely tough and it took her a while just to chew one piece. We will be back because we really enjoy Vietnamese food hopefully the food here will be more consistent.

    This place is so welcoming and has amazing food! We had the garlic noodles which were incredible! I've never had them, but definitely plan to order them next time we visit. the hot pot was so good too. Basically everything we ordered was tasty including the free spring rolls and the egg rolls too. The staff is realy nice and the atmosphere is much nicer then their other place Pho Vietnam in downtown brentwood. Definitely merits 5 stars as we had a great time there!!! I'd absolutely recommend it and will be going back soon.

The atmosphere in the restaurant in very nice its not to noisy they have big screen TV's and its roomy. 4. The Service is excellent the staff treat you well they greet you when you enter the front door and make sure your order is prepared in a timely manner. 5. Pleanty of free parking 6. The cost of the food is very reasonable its hard to find a good restaurant that's cares about the cleanliness ,and taste of food and the customer. Cre Asian does all of those things and then some I will be going back Because I care about where I spend my money on good food I have never been disappointed by Cre Asian in brentwood and if anyone is giving them one star its because they don't know good food and good service and you can take that to the bank Cre Asian in Brentwood California 5 stars excellent in my opinion

    This place is nice, food is consistent. Service is quick but the guy who is working up front a lot is very impersonal and systematic. You can tell he wants you to just sort of get taken care of so he no longer has to deal with you, part of why service is so quick. Awful approach to service. It's just sh*tty when you have to feel bad about splitting a bill when dude never asked if/how you wanted your bill in the first place. Servicing customers shouldnt be hassling them, lol. That contradicts the term customer service. That being said, it isn't always bad, but it is never great. OK, now the important part of this review. All of the food i've tried was ok- great. i've tried their pho, garlic noodles, and their take on pad thai (which i thought was quite good). All decent and honestly the plating is gorgeous most of the time. Pricing is good as well. Ingredients are quality, condiments readily available. I ritually get vietnamese iced coffee with vietnamese food. This place's is pretty lackluster. Way too thick on the milk, over priced, and over-iced to boot. I'm talking full cup of ice, maybe 2-3 oz of coffee and then the rest being condensed milk to the 12 oz mark (served in pint glass) That being said....it's still pretty good. I've had it made good here once, but every other time they use way too much milk. I will continue to come here so long as they continue to pump out quality dishes. and it's worth a try even if you are new to vietnamese. Recommended.

    Not bad for what you pay for but nothing to crave for. Fast and good customer service. Parking is pretty easy to get as well. I doubt I'll come back though. Doesn't have that "pho" vibe.

    Just tried this place last week. It was delicious. Tried the yellow curry (fantastic), the crispy fried egg rolls (amazing) and some other items. Also tried a Lychee smoothie - very tastey!!! Actually craved it again this week and went back. Both times the service was excellent, food is fresh with lots of veggetables and the place is clean and casual. Definitely going to put this in our regular rotation of places to eat. Can't wait to try the rest of the what they have to offer.

    The owners of Cre Asian are the original owners of Pho Vietnam on 1st Street in Brentwood. I've eaten there many times and am very pleased to know that they are the same people that own Cre Asian. Love the food, staff is great. No complains here and I highly recommend them!

    Came here because we saw the good rating and wanting to give it a try. Went there yesterday for dinner after 5pm. Party of 2. We ordered the Calamari Salt & Pepper, Shrimp Mango Salad & the Tom Yum Hot Pot. Pro: The place look somewhat modern & cozy & it was somewhat pack during dinner time. The Calamari was delicious! the flavored mixed very well. Food portion is pretty decent for the price (not for the hot pot). Con: 1. The plate & hot pot utensils was dirty when they handed it to us... It got me questioning if this place is up to code with cleanness & everything being sanitized... also got me wondering how the food is being prepared. Even the stove for the hot pot was dirty & sticky (the knob to turn on the fire and adjust the heat) 2. Food: a. I wasn't a fan of the Shrimp Mango Salad, the flavor of the shrimp paste/sauce was too strong to not make me enjoy the dish. Maybe if it was cut down in half... it would've taste better. b. the hot pot (D69): The broth was almost good but it was too sweet for our taste (again this is suppose to be "Tom Yum" Hot & Sour soup, not TOO sweet). But despite the sweetness that we was not fond to it, the broth was tasty (would've taste better if they cut down the sweetness). The Seafood was NOT fresh, the shrimps were old (you can taste that it wasn't fresh and the skin was stick to the skin... must be low quality shrimps). The Mussel didn't taste fresh. But the other stuff (fish, squiid, fish balls) were ok. Veggies were somewhat fresh, except for the long green veggie (not on choy... I think that's out of season right now)... seem like they didn't clean it well. so we didn't touch that. 3. customer service was ok... not as what people described on yelp where waiter/watress come and check if everything is ok... we actually had to grab their attention. 4. This is the main reason why I gave it a 1 star... I got sick. I had a stomach ache during & after dining here... so that somewhat tells me about their sanitation & food preparation. In Conclusion, We don't think we will give this place an another try because we won't be coming here again. we spent about $40 & better off dining at the buffet.

    We were in our parents' neighborhood and were craving Vietnamese food, so we checked our trusty Yelp reviews for a spot. And of course, Yelpers did not disappoint with this spot. We're vegetarian, and they easily substituted their meat dishes for veggies and tofu. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. But what we loved even more was the excellent service. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, extremely polite, and attentive without being overbearing. We can't wait to come back!

    We have always loved Pho Viet Nam downtown Brentwood. Weve been going there for years. When Cre Asian opened up we were excited that the same family was doing another restaurant Went there a few times when it first opened and it was good, but not quite as good as downtown. Well, weve eaten at Cre Asian twice in the last few months. Last time was not good but we figured it was just a one time thing so we went there again tonight. It was horrible!!! My husband sent his dinner back because he felt like something was really off about it. The taste of the chicken tasted like it was rancid or the sauce was made with rancid grease or something like that. It was horrible. My food was also awful the noodles were mushy and the sauce tasted like catsup with a splash of vinegar. The most awful food I've ever had in a long long time. The waiter apologised for my husband. When he took it back. But when he came back to the table and saw that I had not eaten my food he just put another plate on top of it and pretended he didn't notice. We'll never go back. So sorry because we were enjoying dining outside there.

    Came her a couple weeks ago with my husband and his cousin . His cousin recommended this place stating that it was a good place with great food. I was in the mood that day for some teriyaki chicken of some sort but was disappointed when I arrived and don't see that on the menu. The servers were really nice and really catering to us . I ordered what my husband ordered thinking the ribs were pork ribs but it wasn't once my plate came . So I gave it a chance and took a bite out of some brown rubbery noodles. They tasted like an eraser . Then Moved on to the other noodles and they were no where near noodles that I am used to eating. Finally I was already getting irritated that I went on to eat the steak ribs and I couldn't cit a piece of the bone . I gave up and called the waitress to see if I could return my food without having to pay for it since I didn't even touch it really. She called a manager and he came and Told us that he normally doesn't take back the food without charging but he'll make an exception. I really appreciated it therefore I gave them three stars

    Had liked to eat here now bummed - if its so good and people flock here on a Friday night as an example. Why close at 9:pm? Place is packed with a wait for tables and we are told they are closed by a frantic host when arriving at 8:45pm. Shoves a menu at us and states you can order to go but not for here. I get it that people have lives - however if its a business for profit and people want to spend their money - why close a full house and instead stay open later? Seems logical to me - but then I could just be hungry...

    Excellent food! The pho is delicious and tastes very fresh. I love the pad Thai, too. The restaurant has outdoor seating, which is great, but the traffic is too noisy. Their fresh lemonade has just the right amount of sweet and tart. I didn't try their unique-flavored smoothies, but the ones I saw being blended looked yummy. I'll be back soon for one of those!

    On my way to target I noticed CreAsian. What! A Vietnamese restaurant in this part of town. The next day on Saturday we had dinner here at 8pm. Found out from one of the gentlemen waiter they been opened for 4 mths. Right away the waiter had our drinks order, I was a little disappointed my Thai ice tea portion was small. Nonetheless I enjoyed it, not too sweet just the way I like it. The fried shimp cake was good not too greasy. We also had sour soup canh chu it was okay. I thought it was too sweet for my taste. Overall the food was good service was quick and attentive.

  • Audra B.

    Meh, it was ok. Nothing special. Servers were kind of rude and fast. Didn't get much of a chance to look over the menu before they were pressing me to order. I ordered the Pho soup as I was told it was very good. Well, when I got it it stank! I was so thrown off by the smell I couldn't even hardly eat it. I didn't like the taste of the meat. Maybe it's just me and not liking the food, but my rating is more for the service. I probably won't go back.

    This is the best Asian restaurant in the area. I have come here a couple of times for rare beef pho and it is always excellent. We tried d75 short ribs on the menu today and I would highly recommend them. In fact, they are phenomenal! After you eat the ribs be sure to dump your rice in the bowl to absorb all the delicious sauce. So good. The sauce is sweet but kind of spicy with a little citrus tang. Super good.

    I went here with my Mom who lives in the area. Considering the area and it's lack of ethic flavor this place stands out. I had the Pho and it was good. My Mom enjoyed the food as well. It's good to see small businesses open restaurants in the area open up and replace the large chain boring food that used to dominate this area.

    not to busy. perfect to have a delightful conversation. Nice staff, yummy food, generous portions, good ambience - perfect for a sunday dinner. BF had the Chef's Special - Pad See Ew: pretty decent, heavy on the soy sauce though. I had the Pho Tai: EXCELLENT! Broth was tasty, rare for me to find pho tasty enough not to need the Hosien / Siracha sauces. Beef was marinated, so it's not the typical pho, but it sure tasted great. Will be returning soon. :)

    I have to admit, this is the only Vietnamese restaurant that I have ever liked. The food is excellent. The one dud glass of wine that I received they took off of the tab, no questions asked. The owner is friendly and fun to chat with and the prices are more than reasonable. Yum!

  • Teto S.

    The food is really quite good...BUT would it be possible for everyone at the table to get their food at the same time? Seems like every time we eat here, and we go often, the food comes out at different times for each person at the table. And one more thing...please get rid of the community forks and chopsticks placed at each table. I can't help but think every time we go here how many other filthy, flu and bacteria infested hands have touched my silverware prior to me using it. Absolutely UNSANITARY and GROSS.

    Garlic noodles are delicious here! and they do the potatoes the old way (diced). This place is much larger than their old place and they also have the option to do hot pot. Can't complain. Love this place! The service is always great.

    Hubby & I ate dinner here last night & we went home with very satisfied bellies! This is a sister restaurant to Pho Vietnam in Brentwood on Main Street. However, the menu seems more diverse and the food seem even tastier here! The Ban Xeo was excellent as were the clay pot catfish. I especially enjoyed the taro in the fried egg rolls. The waitress recommended the hot pot which we will likely try when the weather becomes cooler. This restaurant is a great addition to this area! We'll definitely be back!

    About time a more flavorful, ethnic cuisine restaurant opened up near my hood! I had male servers who were quick to attend to me. Good pho, couldn't finish regular bowl as it was huge ( wonder how large, Lg bowl is). Good spring rolls too!

  • Lori R.

    Excellent yellow curry and their spring rolls are a must. They are always busy which can be a good thing since you know the food is good. Their iced tea is a bit of a mystery and it widely varies day to do but the food is worth it.

    This was my first time here and I would definitely return. I have eaten Pho for years and always search for a new place to try. Cre Asian will be a new place to add to my list. It was good to have a girlfriend who is Vietnamese to help with the ordering to get it just right!

    Coming from San Jose where Vietnamese restaurants are about as novel as ...... has raised my bar of expectations for Vietnamese food outside of any area that doesn't have a large Vietnamese population. So when my friends insisted that we go to another Vietnamese restaurant in Antioch, it was not without reservations. I didn't have the pho which is one of my measuring sticks, but I did have their Spring Rolls and their Shaking Beef. They do not pre-make the rolls and then refrigerate them which is a big no-no as it dries everything out and gives the roll an unnatural texture and taste. It was freshly made and perfect. The Shaking Beef is usually compromised by an inferior quality of meat. Not so at Cre Asian Flavors. They use a high quality of meat. It pretty much melts in your mouth. Nice presentation also. My friends had their regular dishes of broken rice and ribs/lemon grass chicken. Huge portions. Nice presentations. They loved it as usual. I see where a prior reviewer slammed Cre Asian Flavors for its lack of cleanliness. It seems that management has addressed this as my seat was still a little wet when I sat down. But no biggee. It was all clean and all the food was excellent. I left the rest of my Shaking Beef at my friend's house. Almost turned back to get it.

    Excellent. This is a new restaurant and My first visit. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings for an appetizer. They were delicious. Crispy and seasoned to a T. I also had the Chicken soup (Pho). It was very good. I am going to eventually try everything on their menu if the keep up their current pace.

    This sister restaurant to Pho Vietnam in Downtown Brentwood Has a nearly identical menu,prices and steller food! According to this family they have sold the one in downtown Brentwood and now are only operating this new restaurant. I ordered the salt and pepper fried shrimp and absolutely loved the deep fried flavor despite the fact that they leave the entire whole body and head on the shrimp. There were probably 8 - 10 huge fried shrimps with rice and a salad for under $10. The Pho soup ordered with a substitute an egg noodles instead of rice was delicious with fish balls, shrimp, barbecue pork and small bits of minced ground beef. The broth is is deceptively simple and delicious and there was enough for three of us to share a decent sized bowl. Grilled lemongrass chicken with rice, salad and fried shrimp roll is a good excellent value but we prefer to get 3 grilled shrimp on the side instead of the fried shrimp roll *hint hint*. it's a very healthy lunch all in all and simply an excellent value for the price. The staff is very pleasant and the place is clean. if you've ever had any reservations about trying Vietnamese food don't hesitate to try this place. I think you're going to love it and you don't have to spend a fortune to find out.

    This is a great place to eat if you love vietnamese food. We came here on a week night (Wednesday) and it was packed full of people at 8pm. My first time here and the impression I got was that people must really like this restaurant to come here on a week night. I ordered the chicken with egg rice plate and my wife ordered the seafood clay pot rice (No. 59). They were both delicious. I was surprised to see how big a portion they serve and my wife keep giving me some of her food. Her seafood clay pot rice is very good. I will order that also next time. The restaurant is clean and well managed. The waiters and staff are extremely friendly. I am glad to found this place as this is now one of my favorite and I will be a regular customer from now on.

    I've eatened at this restaurant three times. I love this place. All the foods I've tried were great. We tried pho, bun bo hue, com thit nuong, ca kho to and canh chua ca bong lau were all fantastic. The only thing I would change is the rice was a bit dry but not bad. The service was great..on days when they are busy though they are a bit short-staffed which adversely affects their service rating. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone who love genuine Vietnamese family-style foods.

    Love the fact that they are open all day, so we can place an order to go before they get very busy. Our favorites are vermicelli plate with grilled beef and shrimp, garlic noodles with cubed steak, green papaya salad and string bean chicken. Our orders are done very quickly and always taste delicious. I only wish their pearl shakes are made from fresh fruit, not powder, they would taste so much better.
