I was given a bag with one container of noodles and broth and meat all together/ there was no sides of typical Thai basil and other Vietnamese accompaniments that come with pho... The broth is flavorless. The noodles as another reviewer pointed out were very very little for the price of the soup and for pho in general. I usually don't go back and change reviews but I can't express how dissatisfied this is. I'm glad I actually checked the bag! I had to ask for another to go container to separate the noddles from the broth ( pho should never be served this way) I had to ask for Thai basil and everything else pho is served with. Unfortunately they are closing this location today and I can see why. This isn't how pho should be and even changing a for here order to a to go doesn't make a difference for the broth, packaging, noodle ration etc

Their vegan fried spring rolls and brussel sprouts are equally impressive, as well. I don't even like brussel sprouts, but I love the ones here.

Soall is located on Rantoul Street and metered parking is available out front. The customer service is great and the bistro itself is brand spanking new.

However, the food itself wasn't spectacularly special for me to grant the fifth star. There was a good amount of fat on the pork belly, and I wasn't really a fan of the wavy noodles. It's like cheap noodles in what should be a premium dish. The flavored sodas (N/A alternatives) were a great find and a decent value on the menu. Service was friendly and quick, we stopped by with no reservations on a weekday and got seated. All in all, would be back for appetizers.

Pork buns: the pork was cooked perfectly and the bun was nice and soft. The sauce went well everything and it's a great starter dish. Spicy Kimchi Ramen- this consists of pork belly, pickled mushrooms, kimchi and fried garlic. The ramen was really good and had a lot of flavor with just the right amount of spice from the kimchi. Perfect for a cold day! Colonel Sanders Ramen- this had a pork broth with fried chicken and was delicious and moist. Also had corn with Vermont butter which you can taste through the bowl. This dish was the highlight for me and I'll definitely be back again. If you're in Salem, MA and are craving ramen then be sure to give this place a try.

On August 20, 2026, I had a truly disappointing dining experience at Ming Ky. Despite having…read morevisited the restaurant a few times before, this time around, I was shocked by the minuscule portion size compared to my previous visits. While I understand the economic downturn and the challenges faced by restaurants in cutting costs and raising prices, this is not the sole reason for my low rating. I had ordered the Beef Loc Lac ($25.95) and requested a side of limes to make the pepper lime dipping sauce. When I received the meal, I was already confused and shocked by the small portion. However, this incident alone wouldn't have prompted me to write a review. As the wait staff brought out the limes, the older lady who works the front desk (possibly the owner) rushed over and lectured the staff, insisting that they could only provide two slices and that any additional slices would incur an extra charge. She reprimanded the staff in front of me, leaving them confused and embarrassed. Despite the fact that the extra two slices were already placed on the table, the older lady proceeded to ask me if I still wanted them for the extra cost. I told her I'll just take the 2 free slices and pointed out the fact that there was barely any beef in the entree if she was going to charge me for the extra slice limes. She responded affirmatively, going on about the expensive sirloin steak, hence why there barely any meat on the plate. The photo clearly shows that there were only about eight to ten small cubes of beef. This incident is a stark contrast to the kind of customer experience that a restaurant should strive for. It's unacceptable for a business to reprimand its employees in front of customers. The older lady's behavior was unfriendly and showed a complete disregard for her customers' experiences. Given this experience, I will not returning to this establishment.

If you find yourself in the Lynn area, call Nightshade and see if you can nab a seat for yourself…read moresolo or a party of 2. I read online that you need advanced reservations to dine, but decided to call and see if they had an opening since I was in nearby Salem. They did, and I had tremendous experience starting around 7pm on a late-August Friday evening. Caveat: October tends to be the busiest month, so advanced reservations are advised. The mantra to enter into the multicourse journey is "Trust the Process" and "Take Your Time." The chef and her team will curate a unique medley of dishes. After familiarizing myself to the "menu map," I knew there were some ingredients (duck tongue and caviar, for example) that I normally wouldn't order ad hoc, so jumped in with a deep breath. This was one of those instances where the risk taken paid off in spades! I opted for the seven-course experience. The staff are knowledgable, food-passionate, attentive, and expert at creating an atmosphere of ease and genuine hospitality. They were quick to refill my water, make sure I had everything I needed, and inquire about my take on the dishes. The pacing overall was solid, and I was intentional about tasting and allowing the mouth feel of each dish to register: this helped my brain clock that the tasting menu left me satiated, despite the 1-to-2 bite portion sizes of a few of the courses. As you can see from my photos (not in chronological order), each dish is a work of art for the eye and the palate. My favorites were the uni brulee and the "dragon's blood" aloe vera gel: the latter was technically a chef's gift (palate cleanser) vs an actual course, but I loved the play on a vibrant childhood icee flavor and the "pop" of the tangy/tart/sweet lime sugar. Actual order: choupique caviar service (chips), grilled coconut sticky rice pop w/pork floss, habotcha squash bot chien, uni brulee, collard greens, garlic noodles with crab cake, "dragon's blood" aloe vera gel, and lemon custard "trifle" (deconstructed lemon merengue pie). Note: if you are sensitive to spicy, certain dishes may not suit you. They include the habotcha squash bot chien and uni brulee, which both have a decent kick. Everything was memorable in delivery, gorgeous presentation, and symphony of flavors. I've been fortunate to enjoy a Michelin-rated prix fixe in Paris, and Nightshade was on par with that meal. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and will highly recommend to friends for a special meal. Trust me, it's worth it! Bonus: Nightshade is a stone's throw from the Lynn MBTA Station.

We got the 7-course menu…read more Choupique Caviar (7/10): the caviar was good. I do think the eggspuma dip kind of overwhelms the subtle flavor of the caviar, though. I think I'd rather this be a supplement to the tasting menu and have the base option be cheaper. Coconut Sticky Rice Pop (7/10): Decent dish. I liked the sticky rice pop (love coconut milk), but it was little hard to eat. The ratio of sticky rice to meat floss could be a smidge higher. Kabocha Squash bot Chien (7/10): A bit too acidic (really needs a palate cleanser), but still good. Kind of difficult to get a perfect bite, with all the stuff on the plate. Maine Uni Brulee (8.5/10): Umami bomb! So, so delicious. Couldn't even tell it was uni. The sauce was incredible. Collard Greens (6/10): This dish was way too salty. I was also disappointed by the balance of the dish. Too much salt, too much of the garlic sauce. The flavors were good and had promise, but the balance was just all off. Homemade Egg Noodles (6/10): Same thing as above for this dish. The flavors were very promising, but it was just too salty and unbalanced. There also weren't enough noodles to absorb the sauce. Garlic Noodles (9/10): Favorite of the night. These are LOADS better than the homemade egg noodles. So well balanced. Loved the bursts of citrus in the candied lemon. Every bite came with such an amazing aftertaste of crab. Super unique and creative. Salted Chocolate Mousse (6/10): I liked the cognac taste, but this was too salty as well. Not really impressed with the dessert. Tiger Blood (7/10): Decent. not much to say about it. Nice palate cleanser. The service was excellent. The waitstaff really took our feedback seriously. Ambiance is nice, too. My honest review is that $85 is too much for what you get. I understand a lot of that goes towards caviar, but I don't care much for the caviar dish here. With Inkind offers, you can probably get the price down to something more reasonable. If that's the case, then Nightshade is worth a try.
