Good grilled beef banh mi option! The bread is lighter and softer than other places. Although the staff may have limited English skills, they are friendly and sweet. They make the subs in front of you. read more

Gotta love this local banh mi shop in the heart of Dorchester's Vietnamese community. If you are serious about Vietnamese cuisine then Dorchester Ave in Dorchester should definitely be on your radar. Nhu Lan is a fairly large resto for its type with inside and outside seating. The restaurant has a banh mi station making all the traditional banh mi staples as well as a display case for hot and cold foods. You go to the respective station point to what you want; your number will be called when the order is complete. I chose the pork banh mi with an assortment of various fresh and pickled vegetables. I was a little skeptical at first of the Italian looking bread being used but it worked perfectly; the condiments, various pork meats and the vegetables I requested were a veritable symphony of flavor. I wouldn't hesitate to return, the sandwiches are huge, delicious, economical at $4.00 and the people behind the counters speak English are very friendly and helpful. Great local spot for excellent quality Vietnamese fast food for those on the go. read more

Nhu Lan - Pork Bánh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Although they seem to get less business compare to Ba Le, their crab noodle soup (banh canh cua) is to die for! Thick rice noodles with crab meat and fried pork skin. It's amazing! The broth is rich and flavorful . Other than that, I usually do settle for their traditional Vietnamese sub which isn't bad. Make sure to ask them to toast your bread! It's a plus! read more

The food here is local fast and ready to go. The people who work here are always nice and provide great service. However the only thing I don't like here is the lack of respect the owner has for her workers. I always catch her yelling at them in front of everyone like they are children when I come in. Soon she won't have no one working for her if she keeps that going. If your going to open a business you need to treat your workers with respect so they can help your business thrive. I don't see it thriving here, I won't be coming back. read more

My husband stopped by this afternoon to purchase 2 rolls of plain bread and half a pound of cold cut mixed ham. The total is $10. This is a rip-off compared to other bread stores. It cost almost double. One pound of cold cut ham at other store $10, their price is $15 (half a pound $8), and four (4) rolls of breads other store $2, their price is $4 or $1 per roll. I don't usually give review, but this is way too much. Stay away from this store!!! read more

I wish the locals reviewed on here more since I saw a lot of people eating here. I initially went into the other side to grab some stuff to go like a banh MI but then I had the pleasure of seeing everyone eat a deconstructed noodle dish, therefore I had to try it. I got the HU TIEU NAM VANG KHO. If you don't include the KHO part then you will get a noodle soup dish. KHO means dry in vietnamese which essentially means a deconstructed noodle soup with the soup on the side instead of being inside the bowl with everything else. What an amazing dish, it is full of flavor and is well balanced with all of the ingredients inside. It comes with a soy sauce based sauce on the side and then your soup. The Sauce is to be added into the noodles if you feel like you need to add more flavor to your bowl. It has a variety of ingredients, from shrimp to quail eggs, char sieu pork , squid, and a fish cake . When you mix this up with some of the sauce on the side. It's such an amazing experience. This is perfect for a nice summer day because you get to enjoy the entirety of this dish without the soup making you sweat and drip all over. I can't say much about their other dishes because I haven't tried them yet, but I think I've found what's good here! There's a bunch of vietnamese places in Dorchester and typically they all have a pretty extensive menu. But the reality is that each spot is typically good for a few things imo. And for me this is it so far!!! I encourage you to try the other hu tieus in their KHO form if you don't like the ingredients inside the hu tieu Nam vang. I'm sure it's good too! read more

The pho tai (beef noodle soup) was really good, came with mint and bean sprouts as add-ins on the side. The real show stopper was the beef spring roll, they were tender and fresh. At dinner time, it was not too crowded so the food was served quick and the waitress was attentive. read more

Do not buy the food there! Dirty and smell food, not fresh, they give old food for a week some more than the week They did not wear glove when they cut the heo quay They changed my 2 times when I was there They are not friendly there, rude people, rude owner read more

Imagine you walk into your grandma's house and her old lady perfume is attacking your nostrils causing you to gag. The tofu with pork stuffing was breathtaking. I almost got a stroke from how horrible that pork was. The food is old and tastes absolutely horrible. The pork stuffed tofu is by the worst save yourself if you don't want mutating genes. The chicken they have is also dogwater. What poor chicken died to be made into that horrible chicken leg. Service is terrible, they pick and choose who they want to serve edible food. I got the roasted pork about one pound and paid. Shortly after they speak in Vietnamese to another customer saying the roast pork is terrible and they wouldn't even sell it to them. If you're not in their clan, they make sure you never come back. How dare they say right in my face the pork is bad to another customer and sell it to me 3 minutes before. Do not ever come here as I will not. Save the shit and keep your dna safe by not coming here. It's actually just such bad food and service you'll be on the suicide hotline. read more

Nhu Lan - pho dat biet w/ bo vien - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Fantastic. Ordered the clay pot pork with scallions and fresh ginger. It had the flavors of my childhood memories of Asian food. Fresh Spring rolls are fresh. Fresh. Fresh. Soups are varied. Tea is very good. This is the real deal. It's in a strip mall next to the Asian food market. It's a bit of a dump. The waiter may or may not understand you. Working class clientele. I love it. But, it is. A bit greasy. Nevertheless go find it and try it ! read more

Came here after my haircut to get hot che because my coworker recommended and it was no where near hot. It was sweet/salty. Desserts are suppose to be sweet.... The workers there were rude and rushing people in and out the store. Their egg rolls weren't even compared to the ba le down the st. I work in the food industry so I think they need to get hit with health inspection because nothing was in temp and food was just sitting out on steam tables that didn't even work! Will never come back. read more

Very bad service, they left pepper lid not sealed properly, I went to use it, the entire container of pepper fell into my hu tieu, I called the owner and told her what happened, she said just scoop it out and didn't offer a new bowl. I was clearly upset and she said it was my fault not the restaurants fault..ummm maybe the person who last replaced the pepper didn't close lid tightly..that person would be the owner or the employees. I will never go back, they won't last as a reputable business when your treat loyal customers like that..Do not go here. read more

Not authentic try somewhere else. The Vietnamese grilled pork chop came out warmish and hardly grilled most likely heated in a microwave! Only thing good was the sugarcane drink. read more
