Growing up in Vietnam, I used to have cơm tấm every morning for breakfast before school and I would say this is the best cơm tấm in town! I would recommend #100 or #103 on the menu for rice plate Service was fast and the servers were polite and friendly! Will definitely comeback for Phở and other yummy dishes! read more

Phở Eastern - Grilled pork chop with sunny side up eggs and julienned pork skin (bì). The pork chop and bì was perfectly seasoned! - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

This place has gone downhill...went there for lunch last night with the family. They overcharged us and place items that we didnt order on our bill Automatic 20 percent tip added to the bill even if the party is less than 6 people The fish balls for the bun cha was spoiled. Spoke to the manager and he did not do anything about it. Not even an apology. All he said was that they were understaffed. Will not return to this place for viet food read more

Great for location since I don't need to go all the way to Dorchester for Viet foods. But the first impression was a little rough. The Wonton soup was so plain, plus MSG ( I had MSG allergy afterwards), Bun bo Hue was ok, but still tons of MSG. The most disappointed me was the staffs. They seems super busy running around and can't focus finishing one task. We have to ask for chopsticks couple times after the our foods were brought out. Waiting an other 15 minutes for making payment. I meant, It's good that there is another restaurant in Malden, but not sure about the services and food quality read more

This place was better than I expected. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. It was very comfortable sitting down. read more

Phở Eastern - Delicious, Clean, Comfortable. - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

This restaurant just opened by us and we love it. We've always been a fan of their other location in Dorchester, but this one is a lot closer to us. The pho is just as good and we will definitely be back! read more

Pho broth is salted water Location in Dorchester, ma is better... The franchise owners have different standards. read more

Great food, location and service. I often eat on site but first time trying to order online on Yelp, and saw a price difference so I called in instead. Saved $9, so do yourself a favor, call in if you're ordering for pick up. read more

I've heard great reviews about the place and finally decided to try it out. My party of three ordered the Shrimp Salad, Pho Tai, Hue Special Soup, and Seafood Noodle Soup. Service was super fast and quick. The portions were huge. I couldn't finish my extra large bowl and took it to go. It made for a delicious dinner later! read more

See all

I stopped by for the grand opening today and I was very impressed with the service and the food. We usually go south for Vietnamese food as the options are north of the tunnel are limited at best. Place is pretty easy to find and there's parking- so that's a big plus right off the bat (if you've been to places in Dorchester you know this is great!). Service was on point- which was impressive for a grand opening as there's usually some details that need ironing. I liked that the menu was on the table and also on a screen within view. I like not having to get a menu if I'm feeling the need for more food! We came by for the grand opening pho deal and the Pho was very tasty. Definitely the best pho north of the tunnel- though I think I prefer Pho Le's a bit more. Its definitely a good value and the small bowl is more than enough for one person. Had to get the Vietnamese ice coffee- great value and super strong. This was definitely the best coffee I've had in a long time. I ordered a regular Bun bo Hue and it was the star of the show. I've been on a quasi-personal journey to find the best bun bo hue in Boston and I think I found it. Generous portions of meat with that spicy fragrant flavor. I was in soupy heaven! All in all this place is the best I've found up "north" and can definitely hang with the OG places in Dorchester. Can't wait to come back! read more

I am really sad to have to post this review as I like Pho Eastern (Hoa) a lot, and I am a frequent customer, but today my son and I ate lunch and he found a wire fragment in his chicken vermicelli bowl. When we pointed it out the restaurant gave a replacement bowl which seemed fine. But we then ordered one bowl to go for my other son at home. At home he found another small metal wire piece . I write this to warn customers because if unwittingly swallowed wires can perforate the intestinal walls. I called the restaurant to ask that it only use wireless cleaning utensils henceforth. I hope it will but meanwhile customers should be very careful!!! read more

Amazing food and friendly service. I would recommend 100 com dac biet and 46 pho dac biet.

Ordered a Thai tea no ice and this is what I got. Untouched. For 6 dollars you'd expect to give them more than half a cup. Food is good though. read more

Phở Eastern - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Disgusting, dirty waitress! I went in yesterday with a friend of mine for seafood soup. The female waitress brought our food out while she was chomping on a GIANT mouthful of her own food. She had crumbs on her face that were falling off. While she was chewing she was leaning over my dish to set it down. She couldn't talk to us because she was literally stuffed with food. She was walking around picking her rear end and even sat a couple tables next to us to play on her phone and pick her nose! I'm not joking! The food is mediocre at best! So many better and cleaner places to go for Pho. Once we finished our meal, we waited for the waitress for Atleast 20mins to finish playing on her phone to get us the bill. I'm so grossed out by this place. I would never go back or recommend it to anyone! read more

Came here the first week it was open, was disappointed but understandable. Everything is good here except for Pho. I wish they would have read some of the comments here about their broth. I would just order anything else but Pho, you wouldn't be disappoint. Bun special was amazing!! By far my fav here. PLEASE change your broth recipe, people wants that authentic taste of vietnam's pho! read more

I've been looking forward to the opening for months and I really enjoyed my meal here! They give a lot more meat than other vietnamese restaurants in the area although because of this, I thought there wasn't enough rice. However, I really loved the way they marinated their pork and it tasted amazing. I got the thai tea due to a promotion they were doing and it tasted alright although a lot of the boba was clumped together and hard to get through the straw. Ice was also filled to the brim of the cup so there wasn't much to drink but that was understandable since I got the drink for free with my meal. The staff was also really attentive even when the restaurant was packed and kept checking to see if our meal was okay! Overall, this has probably become my favorite vietnamese restaurant in the area and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Phở Eastern - Sliced Pork Rice Plate, Thai Tea - Vietnamese Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

The city of Malden has many options available for Vietnamese food. I've heard such great things about the it Dorchester restaurant so I very excited to see them open in my hometown. Boy they didn't disappoint! The Restaurant was extremely busy, but the service was fantastic, and the Pho what is the best I've ever had. I can't wait to go back! read more

We stopped by here to grab breakfast before a long drive, and everything was good! The service was quick and our food came out promptly. The pho is very hearty and filling, and I enjoyed my meal! The Vietnamese coffee here is also pretty good. I ordered the Combination Pho and would order it again. read more

Disappointed...Went there with family for dinner. They were understaff, didn't give us water and plate for appetizer which were totally fine. We have family members who work in the restaurant industry and understand we didn't ask or rush them. The meatball from my dad's bun cha is spoiled. Told the manager but he didn't do anything. At the end they automatically charged us 20% gratuity for the service we didn't receive and manager didn't acknowledge about the meatball. read more

I've been going to this place several times the food is really good but was very disappointed tonight not with the food but with the waiter he was picking his nose the whole time in the dining room and also went into the kitchen came out picking his nose some more I even said something to him and then he picked his nose again I will not be returning to this establishment read more

The staff here are very rude and don't even try to act like they care about you, but the food is good.

Came here on a Friday evening and got seated right away. We sat down for a good 10 mins while our server walks past us and didn't even bother to ask if we wanted to place our order. I eventually ask an employee who was cleaning off the table to put in our order. Even a couple that came after us got their order and food before us. I wish the service was a little more attentive. The pho was piping hot and flavorful. read more

I ordered seafood noodles soap. They just use beef soup for Pho and then add 2 shrimp, 2 squids and vegetables that's called seafood noodles soup. Taste so terrible, also all the vegetables not cooked. read more

Was really excited knowing Pho Hoa in Malden again. I gave it 3 times, all disappointed. 1st trip: Bun no hue have no tendon, just some thin sliced beef and the fish meatball (I think), that's it. 2nd trip: Grilled chicken and rice, roughly have amount of chicken given compares to all the other Pho Hoa I went to, specifically asked like 3 times for not to cook the pho noodle, they cooked it anyways. 3rd trip: Ordered pho, said 20 minutes, ended up waiting for 45+ minutes and the only thing I ordered is pho, while the restaurant is half empty. I worked at a Vietnamese restaurant a couple years in my high school, we whipped out pho in 30 seconds to a minute max. This trip the meats in pho is chewy as heck, like chewing on rubber band. Busy or not, you don't serve thing that's not ready. Please don't serve food that's not ready to serve. Extra star for the nice staff. For the love of god, trust your employee, you can't have 1 person ringing up check while other is waiting. read more

Good: The inside of the restaurant looks nice. The price is reasonable. Bad: Services are unreliable. Staff are dishonest. I came to the restaurant in the morning when they just opened and I ordered "Bun Bo Hue". They served me the "Bun Bo Hue" but with a different kind of broth normally used in "Pho". The taste was weird as they did not go well together. I did not enjoy the food a bit but tried to finish it as I did not want to waste money I'd paid. I believed the staff did it intentionally and I did not like this dishonesty. If they did not have the right broth early in the morning, they could have just told me so, so that I would order another dish. read more

The foods there is great but service is very bad. I went here twice thinking that is would be better service but it was the same. They took so long more than 45 mins to take our orders and we never got our tea until we had finished our food. We also ordered food to go which they forgot to place it in and every time we flag a waiter they took forever to reply back, this happened 2 separate visits. Also I was piss when the waiter said this ( những người này thật khó chịu) about a caucasian person just because they just wanted to order one X-Large bowl of pho and share it. I would rather call for takeout then to deal with their waiters and waitresses. The food is still good but better to do takeout. read more

Six months in from opening and this place has gone way down hill. It's dirty. At first when they opening the soup came out hot and fresh. Now the soup is greasy, and I've seen hair in the broth multiple times. And me and my bf have gotten the shites from this place multiple times. read more

Waitress told us to wait outside when it's freezing out and my mom is elderly. No one came to greet us and waited half hour before we got tea. We came here because we heard the food is good but service needs work. They need to have a better system to handle the crowds. I will update the review if I get better service next time. Location is smaller than Pho Bistro. One waiter even ignored us because he didn't want to deal us. We just asked him to notify our waitress that we needed tea at least since we waited for more than 20 minutes. I have been to many Asian restaurants where it has been busy and they still keep on top of everything. We came around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Mediocre pho; it lacked the taste and complexity of a good pho. The spring rolls were good but that's a hard dish to do incorrectly

Ordered a Bun Bo Cha, some of the meat smelled/tasted spoil. Service was a bit slow but I understand that they are short staffs. The thing that bothers me was the 20% auto gratuities. it would be understandable if its 15% instead for a big party but not 20% when the servers did their jobs and not doing anything phenomenal. The server also put another table's items into my bill and the manager did not apologize or do anything about this situation. read more

Service wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Sort of pissed me off. The branch in Dorchester is better.

food is good, best option for vietnamese food around. my wife cook better vietnamese food but this is great for a quick in and out.

Pho hoa has the best pho the broth has so much depth and favor barely need hoisin and sriracha into the soup.The staff are very friendly and attentive. I told the server I love their food much more the Pho Bistro. I am a huge friend of pho. Very lucky to have pho hoa near my house that I don't needed to drive to Dorchester or Chinatown read more

The pho was ok, but the staff are very inexperienced waiter and waitress.... You will be very disappointed
