As someone who has had pho from many restaurants in several parts of the country, their Tai pho is absolutely amazing! I couldn't even get halfway through their "small" size, which was very well priced. I ordered them for delivery, and I received prompt service. read more

I'm a big fan of Pho n' Rice. I'm not suggesting every single visit and every single dish has been mind-blowing, but it has been consistently good and satisfying. I prefer their pho to Le's in Harvard Sq. Their curry dishes can pack a spicy punch from time to time. Their portions are quite generous. Their staff is sometimes inexperienced but always sweet. Perhaps what keeps me coming back time and time again though is the fact that you can find easy parking in the grocery store parking lot next door (yep, it doesn't take much to make a lazy man happy). Some other points are that when they do delivery (even Pho) everything is included down to the sauces, spoons, lime, etc - huge plus. Also, their presentation on most dishes is surprisingly good for a restaurant that is otherwise completely unassuming. read more

The best Thai food in Boston. I came in for both lunch and dinner the day I discovered it because I couldn't get enough of there chicken pad Thai and pineapple fried rice. I talked with a few of the servers who couldn't have been nicer. 100% recommend read more

The worst pho I have ever had. The vegetarian pho has only salty taste and the ingredients were not fresh at all.

This review is for the delivery. I was so impressed that I had to write a review right away. Great food and especially excellent customer service. My order arrived very quickly (half an hour, I think), the delivery driver had no problem finding the address, and the utensils were included in the bag (lots of other places don't include them). Before my order was scheduled to arrive, a staff member also called me and asked me if I wanted to add rice. The attention to detail is very appreciated, and I will definitely order again soon! read more

Pho dac biet was the worst I ever had there was hardly any meat. The broth taste nasty , never going to order from there anymore

Disrespectful of customer's dietary restrictions. I have eaten here at least 4 different times. I was very excited to have them located so close by so I wanted to give them a chance. On one occasion I ordered a fish dish for carry out. Upon eating this dish at home, we found some strange pieces of unidentifiable substances. My friend thought it looked like cooked bacon and so called them to ask if the dish contained any other animal products other than the fish. They said 'No' and that it was fish that has gotten over cook on the bottom. I do not eat meet, only fish and vegetarian. On a following occasion i ordered the same fish dish and when i got home, again I noticed more of the strange looking stuff. I was very upset and took it back to the restaurant. The lady at the front took it to ask the cook and return saying that it was pork and that this dish is always prepared with pork in it. This is not what I was told before and it is not stated on the menu. Also, on a different occasion my friend ordered vegetarian pho and we found multiple pieces of chicken in it! This is incredibly disrespectful of the customers dietary restrictions and completely!! intolerable! Also, the veggie pho is tasteless and even their regular beef pho was tasteless according to my friend who was with me. If you want good pho, go to Le's in harvard square. Same price and exceptionally better. read more

I was taught that great chefs are distinguished by the quality of their sauces, soups and ingredients. If so, Somerville's Pho n Rice has some of the best Vietnamese & Thai cooks in Boston because their pho, soups, entrees & beverages are the best we've ever had.** PnR also offers many vegetarian options along with 15 'create-your-own' entrees for those who prefer to design their own expertly-prepared meals. (Call PnR directly for specific health & dietary concerns since many dishes are prepared w/ or in the vicinity of seafood & nuts, etc.) If you love pho, I highly recommend the Mi Honanh Thanh ($8.95) w/ sliced pork, shrimp dumplings, scallions, cilantro & onions, (I ordered mine w/ white noodles.) The aromatic chicken broth & dumplings were so delicious that they qualify for food orgasm status. Although pho is traditionally served w/ bean sprouts, lime & basil; PnR includes a piquant dipping sauce & a large stalk of basil so fresh & fragrant that it seemed as though it had just been harvested. (Happily, we had enough basil for the pho and 2 large dinner salads.) If you prefer soup as an appetizer but crave a similar experience, try the equally delicious Canh Xa Lach Xoong (Watercress Soup - $3.95) w/ sliced pork, watercress, scallions & cilantro. The portion is generous enough to satisfy a medium-hungry adult if (s)he also orders a salad and/or appetizer. Speaking of appetizers, we enthusiastically recommend the steamed or fried Shumai ($5.95 for 8) which comes w/ a delicate spicy-sweet-vinegary soy dipping sauce. We also loved the plump & juicy Chicken Satay skewers ($5.95) which are marinated in coconut milk & Thai herbs and served w/ a cucumber salad w/ a light tart-sweet-vinegary dressing & a gorgeous Thai peanut dipping sauce. The Thit Lui (Chicken Teriyaki skewers- $4.95) which are marinated in Vietnamese teriyaki sauce w/ lemongrass & garlic & then charbroiled & sprinkled w/ ground peanuts is nearly as good. Also, If you like beef, know that my husband practically inhaled the succulent Special Short Ribs ($6.95) which are steeped in an excellent herb BBQ sauce and served w/ a cucumber salad & a Thai peanut dipping sauce. Guess he liked it. :-) If you're a vegetarian or prefer lighter fare, try the delicate Gio Coun (Fresh Summer Roll - $5.95). Each roll is stuffed w/ several whole baby shrimp, fresh mint, lettuce & steamed rice vermicelli and served w/ a beautifully balanced sweet Vietnamese peanut sauce. The Crab Rangoon ($5.95) is also good here b/c it's flash fried and has a generous portion of cream cheese filling w/ real crab, diced onion & carrots & comes w/ a nicely tart sweet & sour sauce. My husband & I both love Pad Thai ($8.95) and it's so delicious here that we've ordered it nearly every time. (Note: 'Medium spicy' on this dish is pretty mild, If you like your Pad Thai a tad spicy, order it 'hot' or tell them you prefer your entree on the thermonuclear side.) If you'd rather have a simpler dish, try the Bun Thit Nuong ($8.95 or $9.95 w/ a fresh spring roll) which features lemongrass-grilled chicken, pork or beef w/ steamed rice & a salad of lettuce, bean sprouts, scallions & ground peanuts w/ a house dipping sauce. We plan to expand our horizons going forward, especially since my husband loves yellow curries & fried rice, and I adore Pho & noodle dishes. Finally, If you like vegetables, the $2 side of steamed sliced carrots, snow peas, red peppers, mushrooms, baby corn & broccoli is the perfect complement to a healthy dinner - or tomorrow's lunch, We ordered it twice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Most take-out beverages are a rip-off, but don't skip them here - they're worth every penny. The Thai Iced Tea ($2.95) is perfect - rich, sweet, smoky & addictive, and the Limeade w/ sparkling water ($2.95) is as refreshing as a cool breeze on a hot, sticky summer day. We can't wait to try the Fruit Shake ($4.95 - includes strawberry, pineapple, coconut, lychee & Jack fruit flavors, etc. - yum!) or the Vietnamese Iced Coffee ($2.95) which appeals to me in any season. PnR's beverages are tempting enough to order on their own, but why would you want to w/ such a deliciously diverse, reasonably-priced menu and well-executed food? Finally, we'd like to include a well-deserved plug for Eat24Hours.com - an intelligently-designed, easy-to-use Internet & mobile application that facilitates hassle-free food delivery in many U.S. cities & towns for a small fee (~$2). Once you enter your address & zip code, the app. searches for restaurants which deliver to your area (including full menus & prices) and enables you to easily place & track your order in real time. If you encounter any problems, you can phone Eat24or use their live-chat window & they'll troubleshoot your order ASAP. (Tip: Retailmenot.com often has Eat24Hour.com coupons you can apply to your order.) ** Courtesy of my very generous SF-based sister who discovered PnR via Eat24Hours.com and treated us 3x! Thanks Chula! read more

order the duck pho by far the best thing they serve duck pho is awesome read more

This place is good. The first couple of times I tried it, this dishes were salty. But now they seem to have backed off on the salt. The service is also fast and friendly. read more

Such a hole in the wall but this is seriously the best Thai/Vietnamese food that I've ever had.

This new restaurant serves good, authentic Thai food at a reasonable price.

Good local Thai - Vietnamese restaurant. The pho is amazing. The Thai food is good. Staff are gracious. You can bring your own beer. Atmosphere is not fancy ethnic restaurant, but easy and no frills local. Good for lunch or dinner. read more

This was the first time I've actually eaten good pho on the east coast. The food was delicious (especially the shrimp toast) and the price was great. I would recommend this to anyone looking for some good, well-priced south-asian food. read more

Really good. Short ribs were delicious, as was the Pho.

Ordered delivery from these guys yesterday. They notified me it would take an hour and a half because they were busy. Fine, no problem. 2 hours later, my food arrives cold as if it sat out for 2 hours. The crab rangoon was swimming in the lemonade I ordered. I ordered pho which didn't come with hot sauce or any other ingredients. Their food isn't the greatest to begin with but I won't order from them again. read more

This place has some of the best drunken noodles I've ever tasted. I've only ever ordered takeout from here and the food is always ready when I arrive, and still piping hot when I return home. Large portion of noodles with fresh veggies and really great tofu. Sometimes the dish is a bit too sweet, but most of the time it's seasoned perfectly. Always a go-to for me. Open relatively late as well for the area. read more

We visited Pho 'n Rice for the first time tonight, and the first impression is very good. They put the yum in Tom Yum, if you know what I mean. The flavors are nuanced (as they should be) and everything tasted fresh. I had the Goi salad and it was very good. My mission is to order this salad in all the Vietnamese restaurants on the planet. My pard had the seafood noodle soup and said it was great. I also noticed that they now have a full-vegetarian soup offering in addition to the vegetable soup in chicken broth, which was mentioned in another review. read more

I always order Pho when I go to a Vietnamese restaurant. The Pho here is good but I have had better. The price is fair (my large Pho noodle bowl was under $10) and this is probably the closest Vietnamese restaurant to me. The staff is fine, they did the job and didn't give me any issues. read more

These guys suck. We ordered three hours ago and they said they would deliver within an hour maximum. We paid credit card and have been waiting all afternoon, starving, while they have not only failed to deliver the food, but failed to pick up any of the 10 phone calls we made to the store as well. Fuck these guys WHERE THE FUCK IS MY FUCKING FOOD read more

My favorite Pho place in Cambridge. I love their Pho ga... that's my go to order whenever I need soul food on a cold winter evening, especially when I am feeling a bit under the weather. I find the medium size to be adequate for 1 person. The large size has more noodles but the bowl is not very large from tge medium one and it feels that the amount of soup is less. The ratio of noodles, soup and meat is just perfect in their medium sized bowl. read more

I normally really like the food here but my last meal was absolutely horrendous. I got the beef kra piaw (?) to go and couldn't eat more than half of it. The ground beef had so much cartilage and was so incredibly chewy that it felt like I was eating plastic. I hope standards aren't slipping but if this meal was anything to go by, I won't be coming back for a long time read more

I hate to give Pho n' Rice 2 stars because in my opinion, the food here is really good. I did try the crab rangoon once before and was disappointed, but any lunch combo I've ever gotten has been delicious (albeit a pretty small portion size) and the one time I tried the Wonton Soup it was very flavorful and hit the spot. No, my complaints are about the service. It's awful. I have a problem every single time and while I continuously tell myself "That's it, I'm done with Pho n' Rice", the food keeps calling. The experience that prompted this review: I placed an order at 11:30 AM for just 1 meal. At 12:45 I still hadn't received my order. I called the store and the woman who "helped" me tried to convince me I had ordered something else. Once I finally got her to listen, she told me she would call the delivery person to find out where they were. Because she simply placed the phone down and didn't put me on hold, I heard everything. "Hi, the person from _____ just called me....what? NO!.....Ok.....No, I told you......ok.....alright. Hurry up ok?" She proceeded to tell me the delivery person was outside trying to find parking. Foolishly I believed her and stood outside. 15 minutes later I get a call from the delivery person that they are stuck in traffic and will be there shortly. Once I relayed what the hostess had told me about them being out front already, the delivery person started complaining to me that the hostess was a liar. Uh, ok. I almost wish my food hadn't arrived, cause when it did, the delivery person looked incredibly dirty. They stood around waiting for a tip and when I started to walk away, they copped an attitude and sarcastically "apologized for any inconvenience". So after today.....I officially give up. Maybe I'd have had better luck visiting the location. read more

Pretty consistently good Thai food. Quick delivery!

Have eaten here 3-4 times and it was average. This time we got take out and it was horrible. Lemongrass shrimp was undercooked vegetables and 4 grisly inedible shrimp. Shoo mai were mushy. The papaya salad salad was a joke.. a few strands of shredded papaya soked in vinegar with a few pieces of lettuce. Pad thai was below average. Do not eat here..there are several other Thai places in the area. read more

was super excited to go back, but then my pho was bad. soggy noodles :-(

cute place but the pad thai was a bit oily for my liking and the shrimp were a bit overcooked

I sat in and ordered Pad See You with chicken. The restaurant was super cute but the food we had was great! The staff was also really accommodating. read more

Great pho and really sweet service people. they were always smiling! i would agree with the hilarious soundtracks review. don't change it! :) read more

I tried to go today and the restaurant was closed. I checked into the pie shop next door and was told they'd been closed for some time (about 2 months). No idea if this is temporary or not. read more

Wow, I had one of the best meals in memory last night. Started with coconut-base soup with tofu - can't remember the name. One of the most unusual flavors I've had. Then ginger fish, which they promised was wild salmon. If you like spicy, you'll love this dish, because, as hot as it is (it made me cry), it's still packed with delicious flavors. Overall, both were stunningly original and delicious. Excellent service and simple, pleasant decor, too. I felt the prices were cheap for what you get. C'mon people, ok, it was late on a Monday night, but why only two other parties? read more

good noodles but a little salty overall. very efficient and fast service. great for take out.

Fresh, perfectly prepared ingredients, and friendly, attentive service - will certainly be back!

has nothing to do with authentic... The worst beef noodle soup that I've ever tried, the beef tastes weird and not fresh, the noodle is not the right one for Vietnamese noodle soup(pho).And the curry catfish is even worse, because I hardly see any curry sauce there, only fried catfish... Disaster! read more

They do Thai and Vietnamese dishes well. Been coming here for 2 years now and it's good! Tried Red Curry, Pho, and Pad Thai.

A good place to get a warm and simple Pho when it's raining outside. Price is really reasonable too!

Completely delicious and so convenient, the delivery was here in half the time expected and all the food was hot. The rice dishes and the satay were exactly what we wanted, and the papaya salad was the perfect combo of spicy and sweet. Will definitely order here again! read more

I came for dinner with my sister on a cold night at the beginning of spring, after walking to Somerville from the city. It was mid week and the place was barren, although the tables by the door were packed with take out orders. Our service was perfect, and the pho was definitely amazing. I'm so excited to live close by, this place is definitely top notch. Everyone in Cambridge/Somerville/Boston should come here for pho! read more

I was very pleased with this addition to the neighborhood. I had the sugarcane shrimp cake appetizer, which was delicious. It came with a salad of lettuce, carrot, cabbage, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and an extremely tasty dipping sauce. The beef pho was also pretty good. The medium bowl was too much food (next time I will get a small). I had the classic beef, tendon and tripe combination. The broth was extremely flavorful, though I would have liked it a tiny bit spicier. My boyfriend had a shrimp and pork vermicelli bowl, and I think he was very pleased. They are still struggling with logistics--they messed up my boyfriend's order at first, and messed up the check at the table next to us--but they were extremely friendly and quick to fix these mistakes. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant. Easy to get there. Quick and friendly service. Best Pho option outside of Chinatown.
