    Does this look like a large to you?
    Jimmy N.

    There are a few restaurants that offer the dish bun dau mam tom. For me, Pho Le would be top tier. The way it's presented at the restaurant is amazing. The way it's packaged for to go looks wonderful. For the price, I believe it's around $30-$35 which isn't bad for the portion. I would say this feeds about 3-4 people. Comes with two dank (a unique smell and taste) sauces so be prepared. It's more potent compared to the other restaurants. I did not mind at all. My advice is to add a little hot water to tone it down . Overall, I would definitely come back. Highly recommend trying this dish!!

    Steamed Vermicelli with Grilled Meat and Shrimp
    Iris X.

    Pho Le was exactly the kind of comforting, home-cooked meal I needed. I ordered the vermicelli bowl with pork, shrimp, and cha gio, and everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying at a really reasonable price. I do wish the portion had a little more vermicelli noodles, but overall I left happy and full. Also a huge plus that they're open until 10, definitely appreciated for a later dinner spot. Service was fast and everyone was very welcoming and professional.

    Great ambience and very friendly family vibes! Food is fresh and home cooked. I always crave this cuisine when I am missing Los Angeles. Fast service and very open and welcoming staff. Food was very comforting.

    Being from Honolulu, Hawaii, I'm particular about Asian cuisine. We were interested in finding pho with the best tasty broth. I think we found it! Their beef noodle soup combining thin sliced rare eye round, well done flank, brisket, tendon and tripe is phenomenal. If you are brave to try this combination bowl, order the extra large size. Best value to fill your appetite. Service and atmosphere is great and relaxing. Best decision on a pho bowl ever!

    Rice Chowder

    We originally went for pho but quickly discovered they also offer Beef Seven Ways. Don't be intimidated--this authentic dish is unique, interactive, and a fun meal to share with family and friends. One order was plenty for three adults. As the name suggests, the beef is prepared seven different ways, each with its own distinct flavor. You hand-roll the cooked meats (except the soup) in thin rice paper along with a variety of fresh vegetables. Then you dip each roll into the sauce and enjoy. The rice paper adds a bit of a challenge--once you dip it in water to soften, it becomes very delicate and sticky, but that's part of the fun. Two of the beef preparations are cooked tableside in a hotpot, with our waitress helping guide the process. Overall, it was a great experience, and I hope you give it a try.

    The service is really good here and the ambiance is a quiet, which is nice because it's relaxing and you can have a conservations with people without shouting. I've been going here for a while and always enjoyed the people working here. Banh Bot Loc is pretty good here, but the pho is okay. The broth was a bit sweeter for me and I had to put seasoning to make it more flavorful. Although, the meat, noodles, and veggies were great and had no complaints for that portion. I come back if I'm in the area!

    #20 small pho + crispy chicken wings
    Danielle K.

    Ambiance: Very casual restaurant with tons of seating! Walked in without a reservation and had no problem getting a seat right away. Service: Our waiter picked our appetizer of wings for us when we were struggling to decide what to get, which was helpful! Servers didn't come back to check in or fill water at all during the dinner. Food: -Pho, 6.8/10: Not bad, not great. Just your standard pho. Meat was good with the chili oil they had on the side! -Crispy Wings, 9.8/10: SO good. The crisp of the wings was immaculate, oily enough so it wasn't dry but not so much that it felt heavy. Sauce was some sort of Asian flavor, was sweet and salty in all the right ways.

    Phở Rau Cải
    Lydia C.

    I was really excited to try pho in Dorchester, at the center of Boston's Vietnamese community. It was interesting to be part of the lunch rush among other workers. It's casual, no-frills service that emphasizes speed over niceties, like a plastic divider between tables to maximize seating. The staff were on it when it came to taking my order, and my bowl of Phở Rau Cải was extremely quick to come out. While there isn't meat in the bowl as served, the menu does specify that it's made with chicken or beef broth (as opposed to the other vegetarian pho option, which is made with vegetarian broth). The meat-based broth is supposed to make the dish more flavorful, which I'll admit actually wasn't readily apparent. I ordered the small size, which was a pretty decent portion size and filled me up for lunch, but I wish there had been more flavor in it. On the other hand, it was pretty cheap (might be comparable to similar restaurants in Dorchester, but much less expensive than any lunchtime spots in downtown Boston)!

    Phở Đặc Biệt*
    Ying X.

    As one of the most famous restaurants in Dorchester, the "Boston Little Saigon", of course it would serve authentic and affordable Vietnamese cuisine attractive to both local immigrants and Cantonese in the Chinatown nearby. Phở Ðặc Biệt: It felt great to escape from super sweet MSG broth in those American-Vietnamese pho places. The broth was authentic, more on the savory and umami side, with the strong fragrance of Thai basil; the flat rice noodles were smooth yet bouncy. However, the beef was somehow overcooked and tough. Another suggestion is to change a bigger bowl that all ingredients can easily go in and contribute the flavor, while the bean sprouts can soak heat from the soup to remove their herby taste. Nha Trang Rolls: The most al dente, and first ham rice paper rolls I have ever had. You shall know directly from the picture that how thin, transparent and smooth the skin was. The Vietnamese grilled ham was tender and full of smoky and meaty fragrance, while greens and herbs inside removed the greasiness. What most surprising was the Nem Nướng sauce, reputedly made mainly by fermented soybeans, peanuts, garlics, fish sauce and shrimp paste, and even pork or livers in some versions. Its texture was warm, thick and smooth, with some diced sun-dried shrimps inside, and the flavor was extremely rich and umami, somehow similar to the combination of abalone sauce鮑汁 and XO sauce in Canton. As a Cantonese, I couldn't help to scoop out and drink all the sauce after finishing the rolls. Instead of the common ones with shrimps and sweet-spicy dipping sauce, this dish really broadened my horizon on Vietnamese rice rolls. I really appreciate this experience and my coincidental wander into Dorchester.

    Food was good, but our experience was soured by the rude and uncouth wait staff. I don't usually leave bad reviews unless the situation is egregious or the food is abysmal, but this left a bad taste in our mouth. After seating, no one bothered to hand us cutlery/chopsticks even after food arrived, we had to ask twice before they deigned to give us chopsticks. Had to ask them twice before they refilled water. Left a 15% tip and the server almost accosted us on the way out and in a matter-of-fact voice said 18% was mandatory. The worst part? The 15-18% difference was literally $1.50. Not going back to Pho Le ever again, especially since there are comparable Vietnamese restaurants in Dorchester and Allston.

    Tried the bún đậu mắm tôm here and it was so good! They eat it a bit differently than I'm used to, but however you eat it, the flavors really come through. The bún măng vịt was also delicious -- the broth had great depth. Service is quick and super friendly

    Canh chua
    Lena N.

    I order a pick up order; hot and sour soup / cảnh chua and a side of white rice. The cost? $45usd I walked into the restaurant and there was one guy cleaning tables that greeted me and sent me to the front host area. As I stood there, I notice the table to the left by the washrooms; 4 people sitting there playing a card game while gambling with actual real money. They made me wait for a couple of minutes. The guy gave me my food and walked right back to the table to gamble some more while I signed my receipt. No thank you for the purchase, no good bye, no nothing. Just went back to gambling. Food was horrible, was suppose to be hot and sour; but all I tasted was sweetness. Horrible experience since the last time I went 3 years ago, and now I remember why.

    Pho Le is a great place to go for traditional Vietnamese food. A must try dish I recommend getting is their catfish! Cannot go wrong with their clay pot catfish or their grilled catfish wraps (DIY). Definitely call for the catfish because it takes 45 min to an hour for the catfish to be ready. It had been a couple months since I last visited but Pho Le is always pretty consistent. I love getting Bánh Bột Lọc, nem nuong spring rolls. & Banh xeo. Honestly you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here.

I don't think the prices on their menu are justified for the big portions they serve! Yes, they give plentiful ingredients for lower than standard menu price compared to my local area. I don't go to Dorchester often, so I am not sure if the other Vietnamese restaurants within its vicinity have similar price range. But this restaurant is definitely worth checking it out as it has a decent selection to order. I had Bun Bo Hue and my friend had #75 Crab Noodle Soup with Water Spinach. Bun Bo Hue was not spicy, was on the sweeter side, but it was flavorful! They provided me a saucer of chilly oil to adjust spicy level to my liking. #75 was good as well and like I stated it had plenty ingredients (at an affordable price)! If you are looking for modern or intimate atmosphere, this is not it! If you are okay with old school look and closer to homemade food, go for this one!

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.

We had went around 1PM on a Wednesday & the seats were filled. Saw some people with computers, with no problem.
