This place is sooo good!! I always order from Uber Eats but this time I actually came to the restaurant and it was just as good! The owners are the sweetest couple. Ambiance is calm. Food we got: spicy beef pho, tom yum soup, drunken noodles, and shrimp pho. read more

Very friendly service, but unfortunately the food was not good. I didn't even try to finish it. I got the chicken lo mein, the chicken quality was subpar and there was very little chicken. The sauce was too sweet and the lo mein was swimming in it. Veggies were not cooked. I wouldn't eat here again. read more

Pho & Spice Waltham - Chicken lo mein - Vietnamese Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

The food is so good, and the hot sauce is DELICIOUS!!!! The owner is super nice, service is fast, and the restaurant is super clean.

I don't know where to start. The gluten free pad Thai was full of a bunch of oil in the container and was not good at all. I also got the moody street Thai which was also not good at all mostly watery and I truly wish I could return it cause it ended up in the trash not eaten. Very disappointing for how it looked and tasted, and an early write reviews. read more

Great food & service. Pho was excellent as were the summer rolls. Owner came out to deliver my take out. They were great about vegan & gluten free requests! read more

Tried three different entrees and two were horrible - Pad See Ew and Pad Thai. The Pad Thai was drenched in a very sweet sauce and the pad see ew was also drenched in an extremely salty sauce and both were pretty much inedible (and I never day that). They were nice enough to not charge us for one of the entrées, but I would never go back here unfortunately. read more

Recommended by a friend so I checked this place out. It's a small place with a dozen or so tables. Service efficient and friendly. We all enjoyed our entrees plus scallion pancakes and mango sticky rice. We all loved the noodles. Good value. Lots of city parking (2 lots) on the side street. read more

I honestly don't understand the poor reviews. If you like authentic Asian flavors with good service then this is a good place for you!

Small place, only nine tables, but the pho is very good. The various beef slices were nice and tender. We also had spring rolls and summer rolls for appetizers, both of which were delicious. Parking lots nearby at adjacent side street which was helpful. read more

My most recent delivery was terrible. Items that I have bought in the past (pad Thai and Thai rolls) were not edible. The pad Thai shrimp were dry, no veggies and no flavor. Likewise the Thai rolls had no filling. They were basically all shell. Just gross. I don' know if ownership changed but this establishment is not the same. Avoid at all costs. read more

We stopped in around 4:00pm to grab a super late lunch. The atmosphere was lively, and the restaurant was super clean. It smelled amazing! The service was super fast and friendly, we had a bunch of complicated requests and they were all accommodated. I had a vermicelli noodle bowl with grilled chicken and it was absolutely delicious, I was able to sub half the noodles for more lettuce, which was perfect. The food in general was really good and the portion sizes were perfect. None of us got the pho, but it looked and smelled amazing. I have no idea why some of the other reviews are so negative, this place was amazing! If we lived in the area, we would definitely be back. read more

The employees/owner, were amazing , very social very kind very understanding of what exactly you were looking for for dinner. The food is phenomenal. I ordered a stirfry with ginger and beef totally delicious. Five star plus do not miss the opportunity to try their food. read more

Favorite pho in waltham. Seating area is kind of tiny, but takeout isn't as good as sitting in the place. Relatively affordable.

Life is short....F it up! Family, Flavor, Friends. Walking down Moody Street we were in the mood for some nice warm pho. We opted to go to this place as it was recommended from one of my friends. When we got there, we didn't realize that they were about to close. The owner was very hospitable and took us in. This is the first time that I've had for over here. As you know, awful places are different and their soup is what makes them different. The soup was very soothing and had a different twist as it had a thicker bone broth base very simple, very clean and good. We also picked up a few other appetizers, chicken wings, fried spring rolls, fresh spring rolls, and some chicken on a stick all were pretty good very simple again it's cooked like it was it would be at your house. Give us four stars there's always room for improvement but definitely worth checking out. read more

Looking for some inedible pho? Need somewhere to waste $20 / $30? Try Pho and Spice. After a long day I was really looking forward to a bowl of hot pho. My usual Pho Pasteur was closed to I gave this spot a try. I ordered Pho Tai with extra Tai. The order arrived in a little container that had the broth at the bottom and the meat and noodles held above it. Would have been cool if the steam from the broth didn't overcooked the rare meat before I even opened the bag. I could have looked past that but the extra meat I payed for was nowhere to be found and the meat that was included was thinner than a sheet of loose leaf. Rare eye round is already a cheap cut, do you really have to be that stingy when you're charging over $20? No scallion or Thai basil was provided, which are pretty standard and also pictured on door dash. Worst case scenario, at least I get a pleasant bowl of broth right? Wrong. The broth was cloudy and like nothing I ever smelled before. So much star anise it smelled like potpourri and was genuinely sickening. Even the single condiment packet of Lee Kum Kee Hoisin couldn't save it. Straight to the trash. Hopefully the Thai food is better but I'll never know after this experience. read more

I stopped in for a bite with my granddaughter to expose her to some cultural diversity so she will learn to explore different options. We tried a variety of dishes and the staff was very kind to accommodate us in our adventure. The Crab Rangoon was warm and creamy! The lettuce spring roll was very good but the sauce was even better! The fruit flavored bubble tea was a hit! The decor is simple and the service is fast. Thanks for a nice meal! read more

I had the Green Curry with Duck here and it was scrumptious! Dhia was serving me and did a fabulous job. I would definitely come back, I have to try the Pho of course. I also had the Thai Iced Tea and it was not super sweet like some places it was perfect for me. read more

Really good curry, pho, and apps. Service was excellent too. Nice spot for a casual bite.

The best pho seafood I've ever had. The broth is so good you don't want to stop drinking it even after you're full. The fresh spring rolls are to die for. Fried rice is really good as well. Will return again. read more

This place isn't what it used to be - I came here many years ago and being wowed by how good the food was! Now all the appetizers cost as much as the entrees. My wings seemed to be straight from the butcher to the fryer. No seasoning or marinade, just some sweet and sour sauce on the side. My pad thai was so saucy it almost tasted like a soup. The place looks the same and it is a still a small hole in the wall, the servers are nice, but the food doesn't do it justice anymore unfortunately. read more

terrible. got a sandwich and 3 tiny pieces of meat. so cheap. I'd advise not ordering from here.

DO NOT TRY THIS PLACE. RUDE, MEAN, AND YOU WILL NOT GET WHAT YOU ORDER. I was super sick and ordered. After receiving my order- it was completely incorrect. Ok- it happens. I reached out via voice call, and the order person seemed sweet at first, then she proceeded to bai ally be like go f myself and hung up on me. Do not frequent this place read more

Unassuming place with disposable utensils but FANTASTIC food! I'm picky when it comes to pho, and this broth was so delicious and complex! I finished it all! Best pho in Waltham! Chicken wings were juicy and crispy although the sauce was nothing special. Would 100% recommend checking it out! read more

Humble little restaurant with good food Staff friendly. Not much ambience. Small & cozy. Great for takeout. Only negative which I hope will be corrected, is when placing order for takeout, you are charged, and immediately given the pad for you to give tip! This while staff is looking expectantly. Tip menu should automatically be taken out for takeout customers. It is inappropriate & rude to stand over expecting tip, while no service is provided. I hope this is corrected. Otherwise, I like the food & will go back again. read more

Poor quality food. I ordered a Bahn Mi , no pork pâté, no pulled pork, instead they gave me ham and some smelly spam looking ham. This is not how a traditional Bahn mi sandwich, I'm very disappointed and still hungry. read more

Perfect comfort food for a chilly December night! Excellent chicken pho with fresh ingredients! We had pad thai, too, that was delicious! Small dining room with six tables. Quick service by friendly waitperson. Recommended!! read more

Service was good. Pho was good, we liked the options and everything came out quickly. Sit down ambience was a little lacking.

I went home for a visit in my niece and nephew took me to this quaint little place I have fallen in love with. We started out with scallion pancakes in crab rangoon the flavor of each was unique in its own. My nephew suggested the beef flank soup with rice noodles onions and bean sprout it was absolutely delicious. When coming here you don't you know to either use a spoon or chopsticks I suggest both, to get the last bit of deliciousness out of the soup. The menu is very detailed with so many amazing choices it's difficult to choose so I suggest you go and try a little bit of everything. The server made a few suggestions and we were informed that everything is made to order. This little treasure is a well worth a visit. read more

Got takeout from here. The wonton soup was pretty good. The crab Rangoon was weirdly fishy. The drunken noodles had little flavor other than heat - otherwise they were under salted and under spiced. Cost over $100 for 4 people, so we won't be back considering the quality. read more

Grand New Opened! Authentic Vietnamese and Thai food, clean and neat atmosphere. Warm service plus reasonable price range. Variety of Pho noodle soups and yummy Pad Thai are calling your name, starting with homemade Crab Rangoon together with Tom Yum Soup to open up your appetizers. Got to try it! read more

This used to be one of our favorites, but food quality has really gone down. We used to frequent this spot for pho and service has always been great, but we have not been able to go back due to the poor food quality during our last visit. read more

Came here to grab lunch since I was craving Vietnamese food and the service was good but definitely rushed me out when I finished but I didn't mind too much! I enjoyed the Crispy Rolls as an appetizer and the Pho Dac Biet was really filling (I got a size M and that was more than enough)! I also ordered a Mango Green Tea with boba which felt more like a slushee but that was okay. All in all a pretty decent lunch place! read more

Pho & Spice Waltham - Tom Yum soup was tasty but what's up with the lack of ingredients inside the bun of the Bahn Mi, it was all bread! - Vietnamese Near Me - Waltham, Massachusetts

Only edible. Portion size small. We had rice paper spring rolls and samosas. The spring rolls were very poorly made, with its filling crumbling out. Mine made at home were of even better quality. We order each an added egg in our pho, but they forgot to put it in. They did refund us the money, but we weren't able to have our egg. All the utensils were single use, and we had to serve ourselves. I don't think we will be returning. read more

We typically go to Pho One down the street, but my friend suggested here today. For a group of 3, we shared: Chicken Satay Appetizer: 4/5, nothing special. It came with 2 sauces that paired well. The chicken was tender and covered in a curry-like sauce Banh Mi Sandwich: we were so full that we didn't get to try it and just wrapped it to-go. It was huge for only $5.95! Bun Bo Hue Pho: 5/5, honestly the best pho i've had in boston. I usually get Dat Biet but my Vietnamese friend suggested this. It said medium spicy, but was not spicy at all. Rich in flavor and had beef bones in the soup. The broth was rich in flavor and all the flavors came together perfectly. I'm coming back for this!!! Vermicelli Bowl: 4/5, very good but pretty standard. I would definitely recommend this place. It's pretty small, but had such a cozy and fun ambiance. The yellow walls projected such a happy mood and the jazz music had bopping along a bit. They had a pretty wide selection of food and served boba! We went on a random Monday for lunch. The tables were all filled but we were lucky enough to snatch the last one. Service was quick and nice. Can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu! read more

I gave them a second chance - shame on me!! No more wasting my money. I ordered the chicken wing appetizer. Ridiculous! They were puny, way way overdone and had no flavor!! And, so few of them for $10. Honestly, they should be embarrassed to serve something like this. If you're going to use teeny tiny wings then at least put a couple more on the plate! Don't waste your money, there are plenty of other good restaurants out there. read more

This place used to be our go to place for pho for the last 8 years or so. The pho used to be delicious and banh-mi, bun and drunken noodles the standout dishes. We dined in recently after a long time and sadly this place has gone downhill. The prices have increased and quality of the food has tanked. The pho broth lacked the depth of flavor, the beef tough and the noodles were over cooked. No jalapenos, mint leaves and the sprouts were given in a sad little plastic bag. Hot oil and sriacha was given in tiny plastic cups like they were gold. The portion sizes have reduced drastically too. I understand business right now are struggling and need to hike up their prices. But when you start compromising in quality and quantity your business is going to loose customers. I dont see myself coming back here which is sad because we really liked the food in the past. read more
