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.

When I called the restaurant to ask about the missing items, I was told that I needed to call ahead and specifically request them; otherwise, they would not be included. I found this explanation misleading and frustrating. These items are an essential part of the dish, and customers should not have to know to request them separately if they are normally supposed to come with the meal. Not everyone is familiar with Vietnamese food, so customers who don't know what the dish is supposed to include may never realize that part of their order is missing. The restaurant should clearly indicate on the menu if certain ingredients are not included or require an additional request. I shouldn't have to call the restaurant in advance just to make sure I receive the full meal I ordered.

The food is amazing! I've never really delved out of my comfort zone until now and decided why not try Vietnamese food. I was pretty hesitant at first but had a friend bring me here The pho there is a great introduction to the rest of the cuisine and it's something I recommend to everyone! I also had some of the spring rolls there and the peanut sauce they make has a perfect balance of being thick enough to stick onto my roll but not so much that it's uncomfortable to eat. read more

Both dishes were fillinggg we were stuffed to the max. The owner/head chef, Alina, came over to see how things were tasting and we were chatting it up a bit. She told us this is her second restaurant, first being in NYC. It's advertised on the menu that they don't use MSG. Their BBH also didn't have pork knuckle (giò heo) or pork blood (huyết). She makes cleaner versions of Vietnamese cuisine and serves everything fresh. After our meal, we had flan for dessert, in which we learned is also made in house! Perfect way to end our night.

There are plenty of spots to sit and do work while you enjoy a meal and even some couches to relax after said meal. It was a comfortable space and for folks who work nearby, the food hall is an awesome amenity to enjoy. Viet Citron's pho broth is extremely flavorful and very well balanced. I was impressed! Their banh mi is also delicious and the standout was the bread. It wasn't the typical crispy baguette I've had in the past but was hearty and did a great job standing up to all the fix-ins in the sandwich. The crispy pork on the sandwich was flavorful and had the tasty, fatty goodness that you look for, though I would've liked a bit more sauce overall (the banh mi was a touch too bland). They also have a big ass chicken which was very appetizing and topped with scallion oil. My only complaint was the price was a bit high. I got two bowls of pho (admittedly, one of them was the beef rib pho which is one of the most expensive items on the menu), a banh mi, and a side of chicken and this put me back over $80. On the one hand, the food was delicious, but on the other hand, while it was comparable price-wise to a lot of other stalls in the food hall, it was more than I expected to spend and paired with the smaller portions (i.e., you get 24 oz of broth vs 32 oz), I definitely experienced a bit of sticker shock. However, that being said, I still think they deserve the 5th star for standing out as a great local option and representing Vietnamese flavors well.

My body is conditioned to flavorful broths, fresh tastes and tortured Roman script. But the issue with these new big-box TimeOut market-style food courts is the sensory picture is what you get when you shake up one of those Sweetgreen grain bowls. That is, a total disaster. The whole place smells like grease and spice mix. So by the time you get to the counter you're already confused about whether you're hungry or not. And then you see numbers like $20 next to a bowl of pho and you're like what kind of golden calf died for them to hit that price. If you look slightly to the right, you'll see the size of the bowl they're about to serve you for $20. It's about a fistful of Pho (incidentally an excellent name for a Vietnamese Western). I'm going to be honest, the Pho isn't *bad* - it's just worth about 50% less. Delivered in cardboard in that environment makes me almost wonder how much they'd have to pay me to go back.

It doesn't have much seating - a few tables and some counter spaces. I ordered the bun bo hue at 1x spicy ($17.75) and spring rolls ($8). The cashier called my order after about 5-10 minutes and I received my order, food court style with a plastic tray, disposable containers, and plastic utensils. Luckily, they have large soup spoons. The bun bo hue's chili crisp carried quite a bit of heat and funkiness - the sort of complex flavor I sought after and failed to find in Dorchester. I put in an extra chili crispy and experience some proper heat comparable to Liuyishou around the corner. The soup itself contained meatballs, fish cake, beef slices, and one beef short rib on the bone. The spring rolls seemed more normal. I got one hard corner of rice paper, but otherwise I had no complaints. While the price point is a ~10-15% higher than Viet places in Dorchester, it's certainly more than 10-15% better.
