Another magical hole-in-the-wall right in our hood. We used to have to travel to Malden for the best pho we could find but that is no longer needed after discovering P-1. It's quaint and has some awkward steps involved with two levels of tables. We were there one February night when it was close to 0 degrees outside and the front tables by the windows seemed awfully cold so we had ourselves moved which they happily obliged. Parking can be tricky but not exactly difficult. It's a main drag of state route 38 with cars speeding by but check some of the side streets (watch for the restrictions) and you should have no more than a three minute walk to the restaurant. Pho hoac mi is the staple here and clearly what they excel at with an amazing price point. I tend to order all kinds of meat, from the tendon to the flank steak. They put the thinly sliced steak in very late and it still comes to the table raw, other pho restaurants have made this faux pas for me in the past so I appreciate them not doing it here. Another staple they get right is the ample supply of "rooster sauce" along with hoisin, it's plentiful at each table along with clean soup spoons. The basil has been a bit discolored in the past but there was enough where I just avoided using those leaves to add in the soup. They offer over 10 different options for vegetarians so don't feel like everything is going to be meat-based....it looks like there is even a vegetarian broth for the pho hoac mi. The appetizers are splendid as well, the Goi Guong fresh summer rolls are a good compliment to any pho bowl. There are 23 appetizer options to add on and something for everyone. I was disappointed here only once, hence the non full 5-stars. I got the Bangkok Paradise and have posted a picture of my dish. It is supposed to be chock full of four different kinds of fruit. But alas, it seems to have been forgotten by the chef which was one of the only reasons I ordered it. Lesson learned, don't stray away from the pho that they do best and stick with what works. read more

Below are review on take out. 1) Fresh summer roll with pork was ok and not special. Mostly talking about the freshness of noodle and wrap. Also peanut sauce not one of the best. 2) Pho - Dak Biet soup was ok. Broth a bit too mild and not beefy enough. They were late to prepare the pickup, though went there a bit late. Hmmm... read more

We ordered for delivery the yellow curry, drunken noodles, and chicken satay. Everything was amazing. We are used to good Thai food, this was on par with restaurants near our home. read more

I have been here a couple of times. It's a small place but definitely gets full and busy, which means its good! They close for a little from 3pm to 4pm. I had gotten there at almost quarter of 3pm. This after I realized it when they were putting their coats on. They were nice to let me eat my pho without rushing me, but I tried my best to eat as fast as I could. Friendly staff! Good food! read more

ITS FRIDAY AND THEY ARE CLOSED! I came here hung over looking for some hot ass pho! It's raining! The hours listed are bullshit! Says 10am they open, I'm here at 10:36am, CLOSED! This shit SUCKS! read more

I went there yesterday ordered to go, and find out that their menu expanding and I think they did something in their restaurant too. It looks cleaner now. I'm happy for them! I love PHo been eating this soup around, their quality of the meat is better than other PHo around -that I have been tried so far- but something about the broth. It need something, all I taste and smells is anise. But overall it's a very good PHo. Love their fried egg rolls though!!! read more

This place has me really confused. I got a medium pho, and it came with 3 pieces of meat... no joke... 3 pieces of meat. My boyfriend got a large with extra meat (+$1.50) and he got 5 with the same amount of noodle. He only got more soup. We were also missing a piece of chicken in our chicken wing appetizer. Was the chef hungry while he was making our food? read more

Tasty fresh rolls Cute little spot for a chill yummy dinner. Service is good. Thank you

Yum! So glad we tried Yelp delivery oh a whim. The food was delivered HOT and delicious. The peanut sauce with the steamed veggies hit the spot. The apps were a crowd pleaser. Dumplings were steamed and the crab Rangoon were the biggest/fully stuffed I've had in the area. I tried a hot soup with tomato, roasted garlic and pineapple. It was perfect for a cool evening. My boys wanted chicken pho so that is what led us here and they gobbled up a lot of it. I loved how they allowed you to choose a noodle type when ordering online. Looking forward to trying more ! Thanks for the prompt delivery. read more

The food is still pretty good here. The quality is great. I'm still a big fan of the pad thai, and it's my favorite place to get it. The place is small and is always packed now so I suggest to come early to get a seat. I've been coming here for over a year now, and I feel like portions have gotten a bit smaller than what they were used to. The service has become a bit slower now too. I've waited almost 40 minutes for my food once. I understood that it was a busy night, but my friend's food came a bit over 10 minutes after I got mine. I still come back for the food, but I know to come early before it gets busy so I don't get stuck waiting the whole time. read more

Honestly, I underestimated this place when I entered. But big things come in small packages. It's the same for this place. Small restaurant with humble decor but lots of food options on the menu. The place closes at 9:30pm on Friday and we entered at 9:20 pm and they were happy to accommodate us. We ordered vegetable tempura, yellow curry and drunken noodles. They were super delicious. This is one of the best Thai food I had in Boston area. This place is a hidden gem. The people working there are super polite and kind. Kudos to the team. You folks are doing a great job. Highly recommended. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch and was impressed! Had a pad Thai lunch special which came with soup and a little dumpling. Soup was light clean and very tasty. The pad Thai was very spicy. I like spice but there was a lot of red pepper flake. Place was crowded and not much room to stand to wait. Paid little less than $10. read more

We had the beef pho, i didn't read the menu carefully and it had tripe in it. My bad. Very tasty and nice large portion but my body reacts when overloaded with MSG and this was an overload. read more

I ordered vermicelli with BBQ pork & crispy egg rolls. Plus, an order of fresh rolls. I can not believe the fresh rolls were stuffed with mostly lettuce which was going bad. The shrimp were small, unlike other Vietnamese restaurants. There were 3 pieces of shrimp. I spit out one because it tasted weird. The main dish was nothing to write home about. Again, it was served with lettuce which was going bad. Other Vietnamese restaurants serve it with pickled shredded carrots. There were 3 pieces! read more

The customer service was good and the food was so good they suggest dishes for you to order if you don't like the dish

Great veggies options and delicious food! Fast service and a nice ambience. It's our new favorite place! Highly recommend it.

This place is the only authentic Vietnamese noodle shop in the area. Parking is a hassle and the small eatery can only accommodate small groups. We have actually arrived that before and had to leave because there were no tables and a few other groups waiting before us. The menu offerings is good, there are lunch combos, noodle soups, Thai dishes and some rice plates. Prices are very reasonable. I like everything on the menu but I usually go for the pho. Service is inconsistent. Sometimes the food comes out really fast and sometimes we have to ask for it to go. read more

Been in here three times in the past four months. I'm in agreement with a few of the reviews. I've had lots of Pho over the past 30 years. I think they need to put more meat and vegetables in the soup itself. That said, their prices are low. Broth was fine by the way, sides of sprouts, limes, basil (fine). Service staff could have been just a bit friendly ( Hi--good day. How are you? Thanks for coming?) They added the bill and added tax but didn't put a line in for tax, thus the total on the food (itemized ) and the bill total didn't match....just a mysterious high figure that didn't match the food total. I told them in the future they must put in the line for tax. The bathroom was needing a tidy up of some sort. read more

Best Asian spot in Woburn A must try...good food...affordable price. Easy take out spot. read more

The place itself was fairly small but the taste of the food made it well worth the wait. There were so many options to choose from and you literally taste the freshness throughout the meal. The only thing to plan for is that the street parking is 30 minutes and the wait to be seated was 20. We parked for an hour with no issues, but If I were to do it again I would've ordered to take out. The waitstaff was friendly and quick and pricing was more affordable and healthier than a meal from the typical fast food restaurants. read more

I use to absolutely love their pho gha & visit weekly. Last couple times it seems to be less tasteful and more expensive.

Amazing, reminds me of a lot of the family run pho places back home! I got a Dac Biet with no tripe. Man it was good. The meat was so tender, the tendon, which is always my favorite, was so soft and plentiful. I also asked for chili oil on the side and it was smoky and HOT and made my pho so much tastier! I also got some fresh rolls with shrimp and pork. The sauce with it was delicious and you can tell they were made fresh and not pulled from the fridge. Overall will be back read more

Just not very good at all; too many items on the menu with no craft put to the dishes.

I only ordered to go every time i go to dine it it's overly crowded but my only time getting food was to go and it was good

Love the pho. I had second thoughts about trying their vegetarian pho and it was delicious. Try their veggie tempura!

Very tasty food and wide variety of options. Friendly and attentive staff. Affordable prices

i've gone here multiple times and everytime they slay. i love the tofu pad see ew and vietnamese coffee; i dream about then sometimes. 100/10 read more

This place is good. The soups and noodle dishes are very tasty. However, there's never more than one person working the entire floor. Service is abysmal. The takeout also takes way too long. I always feel like the place needs a deep cleaning. When you're in the mood for pho, it's very good, but clear your calendar. read more

Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, tasty food. I loved my Woburn Noodles and the fresh rolls were good as well. I highly recommend you give them your business. I'm from out of town, but I might come back tomorrow before I leave. Very satisfying meal. Thank you so much! read more

Had to take off a star. Got the Woburn black bean catfish dinner and the fish was sliced into 1/8 thickness slices. No black beans ( aren't beans super cheap)? Hmmm, I get that everything went up, but really? Maybe this is a new chef. If this comes this way to us again, that's a never again. read more

Pho#1 is very close to where I work. I would consider Pho#1 as my booty call for hot soup on a chilly day like today. Granted, I've been here twice, they make a pretty decent Pho soup in this area. I have my favorites closer to where I live. It's a small little hole in the wall. Ambiance isn't astounding. But, when I'm in need to cure my Vietnamese fever, Pho #1 will just have to do for lunch. They serve Thai food as well, as my boyfriend had the Lunch special Pad Thai. It was somewhat soggy and mushy. Flavor is all there, but texture is dead. Personally, I wouldd only stick with the Viet side of the menu. Service is as dull as it gets in Asian restaurants. Though, I have no doubt that they are fully capable. My mantra when it comes to any Asian dining: it's not about service, it's about the food. No worries here. Cell service was no where to be found. If you're Checking-In with Yelp, you must step outside. Prices are decent. Parking may be difficult to find. But, if you're in the area, come and sit yourself down and enjoy a good batch of noodle soup! Check out my Pho-tos! read more

This is my spot when I start to get homesick. I work 14 hour days in oppressive air conditioning, nearly constantly lit by high wattage fluorescent lights. This pho shop is my respite. I usually get the chicken pho, but everything is good. I drink their coffee, and appreciate their quick service. While sipping what dark luxury remains in my cup, I put out of my mind that I probably have lived longer than I have left to live, and that I'm spending what time remains in Woburn. Woburn, I love you, but... it's me... not you. Anyway, eat here. I eat here. I eat pho a lot. This is a good place for pho. read more

From the outside, this place looks old but the inside is clean and functional. This place seems to have more take-out orders but a friend and I decided to sit down. The server came over with waters and menus. It was my first time there so the server gave us more than enough time to look over the extensive menu. I knew I wanted Pho, but my friend had no idea. The server took our orders and within 5 minutes had our appetizers (scallion pancakes, vegetable dumplings, and their Tom Yum soup). Overall, they were good. Can't go wrong with scallion pancakes but my vegetable dumplings kind of fall apart once I picked them up with the chopsticks. Next came the Bac Diet Pho I ordered in a medium bowl (although it looked like a XL). There was plenty of noodles, vegetables, and beef. I added some siracha to the soup and it was awesome, although I noticed the soups are very heavy on cilantro which I don't like but managed. I would advise the server to hold the cilantro or put less in it. To end the meal, we ordered thai iced tea and passion fruit bubble tea. The ice tea was amazing, very tasteful and rich. The bubble tea was good, but came in like a slushie mix. It was very sweet! Overall, I thought the place was great and worth the value! Check it out. read more

Pho 1 - I ordered the Bac Diet Pho (beef) in a medium bowl and it was delicious!! - Vietnamese Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

I'm surprised that I haven't updated this review yet. This place has solid thai and vietnamese dishes. Heres the rundown. Tofu Summer Rolls - delicious and made w/ mint Chicken Satay - very good marinade, good size skewers Beef Satay - different marinade/flavor than the chicken. Just okay. Thit Lui (Beef) - decent, basic grilled lemongrass skewer Pork Dumpling - steamed, delicious! Larb w/Chicken - awesome! deliciously spicy/limey Luc Lac Beef - decent, not at all bad, just not the best Kra Pao Chicken - delicious, good heat level Xao Sa Ot Chicken - good flavor, definitely got better Chicken Basil - delicious, good heat level, good if you're not feeling the ground chicken Chicken Cashew Nut - prepared in a pikpow sauce, ok but I prefer more chili paste Pho Ga - tasty, amped up with sriracha to clear out my sinus when i was sick. I did find a hair in it but I moved it aside and kept on eating Despite what seems negative, this place is a solid choice and recommended. read more
