Service was…read morea little on the slow paced side but we appreciated that they weren't trying to rush us out of the restaurant like a lot of places do these days. We ordered the veggie tempura, a fried rice with tofu, a sushi roll (can't remember which one), and the chicken breast skewer. The chicken breast skewer was a little over done but I guess that's better than underdone! Oh and the side salad was yummy-the greens were fresh and the dressing was sweet and tangy. The veggie tempura and the fried rice were my favorite, both things were very tasty and had just the right amount of oil. I will definitely be ordering both another time. They even brought out a chocolate mousse for my bday which was a very nice touch. Ambience was relaxed and not too crowded. Definitely come and check it out for yourself!

Lots of seating and a nice water sprinkler situation to cool off from the heat. My partner has a nut allergy and the people preparing our food were very accommodating to his allergy and made sure to prepare his sandwich away from any nuts. I'm vegan so I was able to order the J.P. Sandwich without any spicy mayo. The tofu was softer than I was expecting but honestly it wasn't too bad given it had a nice flavor (and I love eating plain uncooked tofu). The sandwiches were packed with our select protein which really made it worth the money ($24 for the two). Would definitely recommend!

Sometimes, a dish/meal hits the right spot, and this was the case with Bibim Box! An absolutely…read morefantastic food truck. I ordered a Classic Bibimbap box (no modifications), The veggies were bright and flavorful. The mixed greens were at the peak of their freshness, the pickled carrots had great flavor, and I liked the textures offered by the sauteed spinach and bean sprouts. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the beef was delicious, also. The Gochujang sauce added a mild but perceptible level of heat and sweetness, only enhancing, not overwhelming or drenching. While I admit I would have liked just a bit more meat (when do I not? & this can be purchased for an extra fee), the dish was well-balanced overall. The food came out reasonably fast too, which is excellent when lunch is only 45 minutes!

The…read morerestaurant offers decent seating capacity, staff is friendly, and ordering and getting your food is quick and easy. You order and pay at the counter, then go sit down. They'll bring it to you afterwards. This is not traditional sit down and be waited on, but then they bring you food afterwards. I think we're supposed to clean up after ourselves....at least thats what I did. We brought our bowls to the tashbin area and left our table clean. The food is delicious! The broth is super flavorful and piping hot!!! This is how it should be! And...there is plenty of food in your bowl. They don't skimp on either quality or quantity here. This is my fave pho place in the Boston area...like them more than places in Dorchester...thats just me. My only recommendation would be to find a way to make it obvious whether this is a sit down and order and be waited on place, or pick-up-after-yourself and leave place. We'll be back! They also have a place in Newton Center.

We'd just gotten off a flight from Dallas and headed towards Harvard for our rental home! My hubby started w the best grilled pork spring rolls with homemade peanut sauce.

Phenomenal and the best tofu dish I've had in a while. So don't be dismayed that it's in a food court. Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food!

The brown rice was fresh and moist but I wanted more flavors or spice. The menu looked great with lunch specials.

Don't be discouraged that it's tucked away in a food court. Get in there! We started with grilled pork spring rolls and man they were good! Not fatty at all, just perfectly grilled pork wrapped in that roll with some amazing peanut sauce for dipping! A must have to start any meal here. My hubby got his pho and I tried something I've never seen before, tofu lemongrass. The entrees came out quickly and we dug in. I absolutely loved this dish. Deep fried tofu chunks swimming in a delicious coconut milk broth with simple veggies. It felt like a home style dish. My only regret was not taking any leftovers. The POS was out so we had to pay via Venmo or whatever but it was worth it. If you're in the area, hit this place! Go there. Get some. Life is too short for boring food!

Attracting local students and tourists who come to visit the university and the area. We were in the area and wanted to try the new dessert place that opened in the same village mall. Service - it was great. What you would expect from a cozy Vietnamese restaurant Food - 3/5 the vermicelli bowl was decent. The fish sauce was too bland for me. The pork needed more seasoning. Maybe more lemongrass. Shaking beef (bo luc lac) was underwhelming lol compared to other Vietnamese restaurants around the Boston area, this was bottom tier. I had to ask for salt pepper and lime to dip to bring it up a notch . But!!! If you're in the area and want to get Vietnamese food, there isn't much options but this restaurant will do temporarily lol
