    Viet Cajun crawfish noodles
    Eugene W.

    Viet Cajun Crawfish Noodles (10/10): FIRE!!!! These noodles are a must-order. I'm normally not even a huge fan of crawfish, but this was so freaking delicious. Every bite exploding with umami. The crawfish were nicely flavored and tender. The noodles had the perfect chew. Left me wanting more. Banh Khot (9/10): My second-favorite dish. Very coconut-y, great texture. Sauce was yummy. Bossam (6/10): It was executed well, but just doesn't hit the same as the original Korean version. The flavor bomb of fermented gochujang/ssamjang was missing from this version. Still good, though! Rau Muong Xao Toi (8.5/10): Awesome veggie dish. Portions are pretty large. I loved the sauce. Nice spicy kick, super savory.

    Came on a weekday and place was fairly busy. Unfortunately chef was sick so a few items we wanted to try were unavailable. We were lucky to snag the last lobster roll--which essentially not using butter but an Asian twist with scallions and ginger oil. That was like a "why didn't I think of that" association since ginger and scallions are usually used as a wok fried combo w lobsters at a Chinese restaurant. But good thinking on the part of the chef to use the flavored oil instead. The crawfish noddles and other dishes were good. But what impressed us the most was actually the pho. The stock was spot on and makes one want to return just for the pho alone. Service was excellent. The place is smaller but they decorated it nicely and maximized space usage.

    I think it's pretty okay Vietnamese fusion food. To be fair, a local Vietnamese restaurant would have better and deeper flavors and aromas. The beef carpaccio was nice and creamy and their cajun crawfish was an interesting taste; it was sweet like indomie.

    First timer! Been wanting to come since I read Chef Nguyen was a James Beard finalist. So, let me say that the food is awesome--a bit pricey, but so fresh and interesting! My only issue is how tightly they pack the tables--you literally couldn't share a secret with your date without flanking tables hearing you. If I'd have known, I'd have asked to sit at the bar, which would have been more intimate (so four stars, but food is the bomb). Definitely make reservations--there will be a line at 8 pm. The speakers played 80s hip hop. The place is lively to say the least. We had the duck salad, mussels (ask for an extra order of charred bread WHEN you order--needed to sop up the delicious sauce). It took 15 minutes for extra bread when I realized the two pieces weren't enough. We also tried the beef cheek fried rice, short rib (amazing) and the crawfish noodles. The rice and noodles had fish roe throughout which made for a delightful mouth feel. My date had the lychee martini. I had the lychee mocktail, which was delicious. For dessert, we shared a slice of avocado cheesecake! Odd but totally delicious with a cookie-like crust and ribbon of brown butter buttercream. Chef's kiss all around. Loved our server, but even she apologized for abandoning us for a bit. The place was slammed!

    Saw videos in TikTok and realized I need to go back and try the non-traditional menu. The seasonal menu is really awesome and shows the creativity of the chef. The hummus is like a deconstructed Vietnamese sandwich that packs a punch of flavor. The bread is grilled nicely and you'll definitely want more bread to use up the hummus. The crawfish noodles is a must order. Really enjoyed the perfectly cooked noodles with amazing flavor. The turmeric coconut pancakes is a normal dish you wrap with the lettuce and dip in fish sauce. The shaking beef is marinated well with loads of vegetables.

    The 2nd trip back for dinner did not disappoint. I put Le Madeline up as one of the top 3 restaurants in Quincy for quality, innovative Vietnamese food in a modern hip setting. We got these dishes and they were all amazing. Highly recommend: - Grilled pork summer rolls - Bahn Koht shrimp coconut pancakes - Chicken Pho - Viet Cajun Crawfish noodles The dinner vibes are great. Perfect for date night or a special night out. Also not out of place with a family meal with kids. The prices are reasonable too for the higher end food and experience. Go try it!

    I took my parents here for dinner when they were visiting and it was a 'just ok' experience, marred more by the service than the food. It was on a Sunday night so understandably they were busier. But upon sitting down, it took a considerable amount of time to get our orders taken and water provided (which I had to flag down a waiter twice). I also realized after the fact that my server had given us one less menu which is why I didn't get to order pho or any of the traditional items. That said I did like about half the dishes I ordered. The good ones - beef carpaccio was very flavorful and the coconut cake with shrimp was very aromatic. Just ok - the crawfish noodles were fine, not too memorable. The not so good ones - shaking beef was marinated well but overcooked and difficult to chew and I definitely wouldn't recommend. I can't remember if it was escargot or some other conch shell fish but that one was just bad. The texture was tough and seemed overcooked.

    We had tried Le Madeline for dinner several years ago and loved it but wanted to come back for lunch to try their pho and it did not disappoint! It was snowing as a walked in and we were seated by one of the windows- pho tastes better while watching the snow and that's a fact. I got a large bowl of the Pho Dac Biet and it was loaded with all types of beef. There was a lot of thinly sliced beef, long pieces of tripe, soft pieces of tendon swimming in a delicious broth. I also ordered the Imperial Eggrolls which was stuffed with pork, shrimp, mushrooms and noodles. The eggrolls were fried golden and the filling was juicy and tasty. The service was very fast and we had our food within 10 minutes of ordering. Definitely coming back for more pho in the future!

    Saw a tiktok about this place and had to try some dishes. We are Obsessed with all the dishes we tried!!!! The hummus Banh mi and crawfish noodles were 10/10!!!! Great service and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

    Banh khot- mini coconut pancake

    Returned here for dinner around 8:30PM Friday night. The place was packed and lively!! Service was fast despite the busy time. Kudos to the staffs!!! Ordered their shaking beef/bo luc lac and sticky chicken wings. Shaking beef came with broken rice, beef was tender and juicy. Flavor profile is rich and savory. Their wings are not breaded with batter but it retained the chicken's juiciness and the sauce is savory and sweet. Definitely recommend these dishes

    Pho dac biet
    Leang L.

    Was excited to try this place base on influencers reviews. The decor of the restaurant was nice, felt more like a lounge than a pho restaurant. I already knew what I wanted. I came for pho. Decided on the dac biet as it's my go to for all pho restaurants. I use to speedy service, order my bowl and get it within 5 minutes. This one took longer felt like 15-20min. Something I'm not use to at a pho restaurant. I also tried to over a side of thinly sliced onions quickly drenched in vinegar. My waiter said ok. When the pho came it was accompanied by a sad plate of condiments and no onions like I asked. That's how I eat my pho, maybe it's a California thing. Now to the pho. It had a nice saltiness but not aromas of any spices. The broth fell flat. For a large there wasn't that much meat and the tendon were the size of dime.

    Le Madeline is becoming one of my favorite spots in the Quincy area. I came for dinner the first time I went but recently wanted to try their pho during lunch. It exceeded my expectations. The pho broth was so flavorful and fragrant and the meat and vegetables were fresh. They gave so many noodles too! I was surprised at how big the portions were. It was also nice that they put on the menu that it's GF for some peace of mind. Will be coming back soon!

    Cà Phê Dừa Đá - Iced Vietnamese Coconut Coffee
    Caroline N.

    I've been dying to come here since they opened - love to see Vietnamese food getting elevated! We came on a weekend for lunch service - no reservation needed when we went, there were enough tables available for a walk-in. I started the meal with an iced vietnamese coconut coffee and some cha gio - the coffee was creamy but not too sweet or overbearing with the coconut flavor, and the cha gio were fresh out of the fryer-hot, the nuoc mam dipping sauce was well-balanced. We also got the Banh Khot and the Viet-Cajun crawfish noodles. The banh khot was so flavorful, again with some subtle coconut flavor, and it was so fresh and satisfying wrapping it up with the lettuce and herbs and dipping it in the nuoc cham. The noodles were also a hit - the garlicky savory flavor reminded me of some homecooked meal from the past, but elevated with the crawfish and the salmon roe. I would stick with the Le Madeline specials though - my OG Viet mom had the Bun Bo Hue and this was what she had to say about it: "No taste." She tells it like it is. The service was attentive but a bit on the slower side. I can see this place being quite the fun scene at night though, with the nice bar and the fun cocktails on the menu. Can't wait to come back for dinner!

    Food seems to be catered towards those with an American palette. Their pho did not pass my test as an Asian and I've had pho many times.

    It's a fairly spacious cafe with a lot of seating (fills up extremely quickly on the weekend so…read morekeep that in mind). There is an additional area in the back where you could study at but at the time that I came by there was an ongoing event. They provide complementary water and will bring your order out to your table. They also provide insulted to go bags for the banh mi and boxes for others. Overall I like the spacious vibe and the gentle music in the background. It's a beautiful space and honestly the most unique pork banh mi I've had. It's a simple pork and ham banh mi but with the addition of pork floss. I haven't had the chance to try their drinks yet but they are definitely something I will be trying next time along with their weekend specialty toasts. They also provide free WiFi so it's an ideal study space if you're in the area!

Banh Mi Thit Nguoi - not a traditional banh mi, they added pork floss and no pickled veggies. The cold cuts are thick and my favorite mayo, but overall too salty without the pickled veggies Pork Pate Chaud - flaky pastry, but I wish the pork pate were softer and had less pepper Steak Croissant - croissant is small, but the steak is good with the right amount of seasoning. I know it is a small business, but it is not to my liking.

I don't think the prices on their menu are justified for the big portions they serve! Yes, they give plentiful ingredients for lower than standard menu price compared to my local area. I don't go to Dorchester often, so I am not sure if the other Vietnamese restaurants within its vicinity have similar price range. But this restaurant is definitely worth checking it out as it has a decent selection to order. I had Bun Bo Hue and my friend had #75 Crab Noodle Soup with Water Spinach. Bun Bo Hue was not spicy, was on the sweeter side, but it was flavorful! They provided me a saucer of chilly oil to adjust spicy level to my liking. #75 was good as well and like I stated it had plenty ingredients (at an affordable price)! If you are looking for modern or intimate atmosphere, this is not it! If you are okay with old school look and closer to homemade food, go for this one!

I greatly appreciated how they had so much protein. I find a common trend in Vietnamese restaurants that they will skimp on the protein, and in exchange, provide a lot of white rice. To each their own, but I prefer a good balance of both. I haven't tried other dishes, but they have a large menu and I'm curious if their other dishes are just as good. I saw that they make hu tieu kho as a secret menu item that they make and I find that it's pretty rare in Boston, so I'd love to try that one day.

We ordered the pork chop rice plate and the pork rib / 3 protein pho. Now how i would describe i is a "healthier" version of the dish in taste, others may think it's a tad on the lighter/blander side for the broth compared to home cooked or other competitors. Meat was fall off the bone tender. They have a house blend fish sauce and accommodating side dips per dish. He'll let you know the best way to eat the dish if you're not sure. The rice dish, the porkchop was massive and cooked perfectly! Enjoyed it very much! My rice (i should have probably opted for the broken rice but i chose regular white rice, which I believe was older rice, a bit clumpy/hard. The side soup pairs well with the dish so i appreciate that a lot. They also brought us tea which was perfect on a rainy day! Overall I'll definitely be back. Different take, i appreciate the lighter style of viet cooking, but many probably know it for its bold flavors. Pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum but you do get your portions worth for the money. Viet food i believe should cost more compared to some of their counterpart asian cuisines! Beautiful dishes should get the spot light.
