    Pork chop. Where is charcoal grilled aroma ?
    Eric L.

    I decided to try this place because I was excited to find broken rice (cơm tấm), a dish I grew up with. While the pricing on Uber Eats is quite high, I didn't mind paying for it as I was really looking forward to the experience. Broken rice: 3/5 The rice itself was somewhat dry and lacked the softness I would expect. Pork chop: 2/5 Unfortunately, this was disappointing. The meat lacked flavor and had no noticeable charcoal-grilled aroma. The marinade did not resemble the authentic taste of grilled pork chop typically found in Vietnam. Fish sauce (nước mắm): 1/5 This was the weakest component. A proper nước mắm should be well-balanced--slightly thick, with a rich sweet and savory profile. This version fell short of those expectations. Steamed egg meatloaf (chả trứng): 3/5 This was the highlight of the dish and had a decent flavor overall.

    25% Grand Opening Deal I walked by and decided to give it a try since the place was new and empty at noon time. I ordered from the kiosk. It takes around 15 min for my order to arrive. It is a self serve place since you get the utensial yourself whether you are dining in or take out. I ordered the Saigon Royal Broken Rice Special, which included the charbroiled pork chop, egg meatloaf, shredded pork skin, a fried egg, crispy shrimp cake, and sugarcane shrimp. I wish the pork chop were more tender, and I should have ordered the lemongrass-flavored instead of charbroiled. I enjoyed eating the crispy shrimp cake and sugarcane shrimp, since they did not mix them with flour. 100% shrimp with seasoning. Also, white peach lemonade, which doesn't have much peach flavor. I will come back to try other items, especially to take advantage of the 25% discount.

    New casual Vietnamese dining spot where Spicy World used to be in Chinatown. Tried the appetizer platter which consisted of fresh and fried spring rolls, plus fried shrimp rolls. We ordered at the kiosk and the food came out quickly. Staff seemed nice and friendly and we'll definitely be back to try their Bon Bo Hue and maybe a rice plate.

    We had the Saigon Royal Special broken rice dish. Excellent. Good portion. The inside of the place is clean. Would come back again.

    Located in the old spicy world location, this Vietnamese fast casual restaurant is greatly needed in Chinatown. Ordering by kiosk is greatly preferred, however, the staff will take orders in person as well. There is a 25% grand opening special until March 31st! I recommend the lemongrass chicken and the royal plate. The rice that comes with the dishes is actually very delicious. Staff is friendly. The bathrooms are clean. Make sure to wear layers as the restaurant itself is a bit cool.

    I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent experience at your establishment. My decision to visit was primarily influenced by its visible presence in the area and the positive commentary I had encountered on Yelp. Upon entering, I found the ordering process to be efficiently managed through the self-service kiosk system, which offered a streamlined approach to placing my selection. For my meal, I opted for the #4 Saigon Broken Rice Special. The presentation of the dish was commendable and visually appealing. However, I must offer some constructive criticism regarding the pork chop component. Despite the attractive plating, I found the pork chop to be notably dry. The sweet sauce, which was generously applied to the dish, unfortunately did not sufficiently enhance the moisture content of the meat when sampled. Currently they offer a 25% discount until March 31st.

    (BBH) Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế) #6 and pork egg rolls!

    This is a family run place! The son was so helpful helping me navigate through the menu since I didn't know what I was doing. I got the (BBH) Beef Noodle Soup (Bún Bò Huế) #6. It was really good, unique flavors and proteins. The pork egg rolls were fantastic as well. I liked I could add spice as I went to make it what I wanted. It is tucked off the main path so you have to work a bit to find it, but it is apparently a gem of china town Boston. Try it out!!

    Khao Soi at Basil Pho…read more I've ordered it a handful of times now and it genuinely never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy and adds that extra heartiness and protein that makes this feel like a REAL meal. One thing though: in person is definitely the superior experience. When you get it to-go or delivered, they separate the chicken, noodles, and broth so you can assemble it yourself (which honestly keeps everything from getting soggy), but eating it fresh in the restaurant just hits differently. The service is quick and the restaurant is small. There's always usually a line but the food is worth it.

Pad Thai: Just like at Nine Tastes, my first bite was overwhelmed by the strong sourness... According to ChatGPT, American Southeast Asian restaurants may use concentrated tamarind sauce instead of the original tamarind-infused water, or reduce the sugar to suit American tastes, hence the extra sourness of Pad Thai. Learned something new! The shrimp was very fresh, firm and tender; the rice noodles were stir-fried with a great wok hei 鑊氣(wok aroma), and the portion was huge, but it got a bit oily towards the end. My favorite was the peanuts--they were incredibly fragrant, and not too finely ground, giving them a better texture. Also, a larger plate is really needed; it would be much easier to mix all the ingredients together. Drunken Noodles: The wide flat rice noodles were authentic. The spicy flavor added another layer of wok hei, and the thin layer of chili oil helped retain heat and enhance the aroma. Although a bit spicy, I felt it was the best of the three. Saigon Noodle: It felt like a combination of the two above, with a touch of sweet and sour and a hint of spicy, but neither was particularly prominent. It had a hint of sesame oil, but I personally don't really like sesame oil.

The tall handsome guy at the register is always cool as hell! We also get jerky and nem with the pepper pretty frequently. Nice snack when you got class or work. I've gone out and tried so many other people's favorites because they wanted to hate on BaLe, and honest opinion lol, those other places don't even come close. They have long lines here during lunch rush or morning rush, but it moves. The bread is fresh every day. I'll just stick to my day 1. Thanks.

It's a high-energy, quick-serve environment that is perfect for a casual lunch or a fast dinner before a show in the nearby Theater District. The Food: * Pho: The star of the menu is definitely the pho. The broth is decent and reliable, served in oversized bowls that are perfect for a hearty meal. * Bún Măng Vịt: We also tried the bamboo shoot and duck noodle soup. It was okay, but it didn't quite hit the same heights as the classic beef noodle soups. * Freshness: The herb plates are generally generous and fresh, which is a must for any good boba or pho experience. The Experience: The service is extremely fast--designed to get people in and out--which is helpful because this place is almost always busy. Despite the constant crowd, the staff handles the volume well. It's not the place for a long, lingering conversation, but it is exactly where you go when you want a steaming bowl of noodles without the wait.

The menu is extensive with a variety of dishes but I opted to go for one of the more popular options, the BBQ Pork Chops (2). The dish ended up much bigger than I expected but overall I felt like the taste was okay. Some of the meat I received was quite fatty and the areas near the bone were still a bit red on the inside. Overall I'd rate my experience as okay - not something I'd necessarily seek out on my own.

They always play nice, calming instrumental music. Not the fanciest place I've ever been to, but a great option for good Vietnamese food. Their beef pho broth leans a bit more on the cinnamon side and perfumes the broth with a nice, deep flavor. Bun/noodle bowls, rice plates, fresh spring rolls - you can't go wrong. Their chao tom/shrimp paste is also tasty and a nice, light protein. Best part? This place makes durian shakes.

Nothing fancy, and yet everything is nothing short of outstanding. You just can't go wrong with that. The food is insanely fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The pho is rich and aromatic with perfectly cooked noodles and tender meats, and the portions are generous. Exactly what you want when you have that undeniable craving for Pho. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it an incredible value. Whether you're a local or just passing through East Boston, New Saigon is the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommended!
