Great place for pho and Vietnamese food. Service was prompt and food was delicious. We had a little of everything including the ice coffee.
Love their rice plate here! Although it's a little expensive, the quality of food is what you're paying. The pork chop is well marinated. It's grilled perfectly with that char on the outside and still cooked well enough that it's not too tough or dry. The fried tofu is really good. Still not as good as the old Anh Hong in Dorchester. Sure do miss that place. My wife ordered the hu tieu nam vang. She didn't care for it much and said I made it better haha I tried the broth and it was too... light and bland. We had to add more fish sauce. The ingredients were there but I didn't like how the celery was minced up. It tastes way better if it was one inch celery's. Overall, I would come if I'm around Quincy.
Nice addition to Quincy. The service is alright when I've been here. Could use more checking in on for refill of water pitchers etc when in a larger party. Overall clean space, food comes out fairly quick and i enjoyed my meal each time. I usually go for the rice plate, grilled pork with fried tofu + shrimp filling. Consistent food and good dau hu ky. Will be back again!
I give this place 4 stars 4 stars for ambiance since the restaurant has good amount of space, well lit. 4 stars for service where they seat you right away. They also give hints of which menu selections were slightly better than others. 4 stars for food variety/menu selection and authenticity in taste; the only reasons why I didn't give 5 stars: - ca phe sua da (iced Vietnamese coffee) wasn't served suggesting way with coffee dripping while you wait and you don't see the condensed milk. It was pre-mixed more like how you get it at boba places! - the caramel fish dish wasn't caramelized enough, it didn't have the deep sweet taste as if it was cooked in a clay pot for hours - the bun bo hue had slices of meat mixed in as if they used the same ingredients for beef pho and just added the bun bo hue broth instead of pho broth. But in the end I finally saw the pig feet/hock part. I saw another customer order the shrimp grilled on sugar cane served with rice paper which you wet in a bowl of water to soften and wrap the shrimp with veggies. That's what I will order next time! I am just slightly disappointed they don't serve banh xeo!!!
Didn't to come here because I was told they are known for their beef rib pho that fall off the bone clay pot. Presentation is pretty nice and the restaurant is clean to eat at. Broth was alright, difficult to eat out of the clay pot when you need to mix everything together so I would advise to take out the beef bone, cut it up on a side dish, and then eat it with the pho when you want to enjoy it after putting in the noodles and slice meat into the clay pot. I would rate it 5/10 I could do without next time. Maybe the reg pho taste better. The vermicelli dish was good, I enjoyed the fried tofu skin, I haven't had it like that before. Would I come back here for this again; prob if I am craving it but it wouldn't be my first choice to eat here.
LOCATION: Small lot for parking and street parking. The space itself is huge! It can fit large groups and there's a separate room for private parties. MENU: Lots of classic Vietnamese dishes and drinks. The menu is quite extensive! FOOD: Pho is solid but their bun rieu is pretty good and highly recommended. SERVICE: Friendly and quick!
The service was great! We were seated immediately upon coming in. The waitress was very quick with our order and got the food out quickly. The food was delicious and tasted fresh and quality ingredients. The restaurant itself had a modern and clean look with plenty of natural light to fill it. Would definitely recommend!
Pho So 1 is a great addition to Quincy! Super large space, clean, and has a modern interior. They have big tables that are great for family gatherings for lunch or dinner. Also have booth seats and regular four person tables available. I enjoy their Bun Rieu and vermicelli bowls. Their bun rieu has great flavor and portion sizes here are generous. I do like their other location better, in Randolph, but this location is a lot more convenient for me. They have a parking lot available and plenty of street parking on Hancock St & School St.
Honestly one of the best pho I had. Service is fast and the pho comes hot and steamy! The broth is so flavorful and a bit greasy BUT that's where the flavor comes from. The ambiance is always casual and and chill. A great spot to relax and get a nice bowl of pho now that the weather is getting colder.
Overall pretty decent Vietnamese food compared to the other ones in Quincy. Viet coffee was a solid 8/10 but definitely could be stronger. Ba me all day baby.
I have had Vietnamese all over the country. Now I'm rating this according to the choices I've had in Mass. Was it the best I've ever had? No. Does it have good flavor? Yes! The pho didn't have the depth I like but the flavors were there and it was pretty good. The soup was great. All food flavor was good and would definitely make this place a regular if I lived a bit closer. Even the egg rolls weren't skimp on the meat! I appreciate that.
This is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in Quincy. I've been here twice with large groups with positive experiences. This restaurant is very conveniently located on Hancock Street and has a parking lot right next door that can fit about 20 cars plus street parking. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of tables. There is a private section on the left side of the restaurant that can seat large parties that is partially separated from the rest of the restaurant. Their vermicelli dishes are good, but I find their pho broth to be a bit bland. I recommend the Special Combination Pho or Vermicelli with Shrimp Balls and Grilled Beef. For the pho, you can get the kids to an extra large size. Their menu is very extensive and has about 90 items among their appetizers, special dishes, drinks, soup dishes, and rice dishes. The service here is pretty fast. Usually after we order, the food comes out in 10 minutes or less. The restaurant is very modern inside and has a very clean aesthetic. The bathrooms are clean and they have free Wi-Fi with password. Their prices are on the higher side compared to the traditional Dorchester Vietnamese restaurants, but average for Quincy. The portions were a fair size for the price. Overall, this is one of my go to places for Vietnamese food in Quincy.
Had Sunday lunch here with 4, the restaurant was spacious and airy! The tables were spaced away nicely and the Hostess when you walked in was pleasant and sat us down with a massive menu book with photos and description of each dish! That way you can choose what looks appetizing! We ordered our fresh spring rolls and they were delicious and large enough to share! Our bowls of soup were served and looked just like the photo which made our meal perfect plus our other two dishes looked perfect and tasty as well! It was a very relaxed time here not too crowded for a Sunday afternoon! read more

Three months ago, I ordered takeout from this new Vietnamese restaurant in Quincy. I got an order of the grilled pork patty rolls and the Vietnamese shaken beef. I waited almost 45 minutes for my takeout. The grilled pork patty rolls consisted of grilled pork, pickled carrots, radish, and cucumbers wrapped in rice paper. There was also a side of peanut sauce. The rolls were good and tasty. On the other hand, the shaken beef rice plate was a total disappointment. It came with beef cubes, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, snow peas, and zucchini. The beef was very chewy and not tender at all. The sauce was also very watery and had no flavor. read more

Delicious, delectable, delightful. The interior was much bigger than expected. Service was good. Food came out quick. Fresh spring rolls (1A. $6.95) were tasty and paired well with the peanut sauce. The vermicelli bowl (76. $16.95) was packed to the top and tasted amazing. So many flavors and so many textures with the crunch of the carrots and daikon with the savory and sweet grilled pork slices and pork meatballs. Overall, a great experience and a great bang for your buck. Left full and satisfied. Definitely would visit again. Highly recommend! read more

The food is tasty. However, portions are a little sad. Pho is lacking and rice dishes have too much rice with little toppings. Otherwise, my dish was good. read more

I've been here a few times and the food is always delicious. Did take out a handful of takeout a few times as well. Went with my hubby and service was pretty much good. And never really had to wait for stuff. My issue is the how they treat a group of 6+. I've been here one time recently with my siblings and our parents for our mom's 70+ birthday. Party of 6 exactly. Service sucked! We constantly had to look for our waitress for stuff like water napkins. Never did they ask if we needed anything else. Same thing happened for a business dinner I was with my mother and her dentist friends. Service sucked and it took forever. They know they will get 18% automatically if you are party of 6 or more, so they don't even try to be helpful. My other peeve is that host that I always see in front NEVER SMILES. Like she looks she's doesn't want to be there. Seriously? You don't even try to be a welcoming host. Anyway. Food is good. Just don't expect good service if you coming with a big group. Will I continue to go here. Yes for the food. But will always expect bad service. read more

The food here is actually very good. In terms of flavor, portions, taste, it's quickly become one of my favorite Vietnamese spots in Quincy. However, the service does not match the quality of food here. I've visited in person a few times and have spent a lot of my time waiting around than actually eating. It takes a long time to order and I've had to flag a worker down every time for missing items or the check. This would happen even if the restaurant was more on the empty side. In terms of the food, I have yet to meet a disappointing dish here. Their broth is rich and flavorful without being too oily. Rice plates have always been filled to the brim and all parts of the plate is very well-seasoned and tasty. I recently tried the bun rieu and I loved it as well. It's definitely saddening that the service isn't too great, I'd be here all the time otherwise! But for now, I'd only be able to come visit in person if I have a lot of time on my hands. Maybe take-out is the way to go? read more

Pretty great Pho. Great service. The broth was a little bit too salty for my liking, but its personal preference. I am not sure if this is associated with Pho So 1 Boston in Randolph MA. Personally love Randolph spot more than this one. It was also more expensive for all the right reasons of course. Check it out for yourself! read more

Great vietnamese restaurant in the area. We ordered bun bo hue and pho, they were full of topping, the broth was very flavorful. Good customer service, food came out quickly and the restaurant is spacious and clean. read more
My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area! Cleanliness is a 5, service is 4, food is 5! No matter how pack the restaurant is we always get seated within 5 minutes! Ever since they opened my hubby and I have been here 4x! Our first time we came and got 2 drinks: orange juice and watermelon juice, he got a special vermicelli bowl with the works; it included everything from grilled pork to shrimp pastes and more while I got the rice plate with grilled shrimp and tofu shrimp skin! We were very satisfied with the portions and the flavors! My husband to get a box for his left over vermicelli bowl (2nd meal later on!) I can't wait to come back for a 5x to try the cool looking pho! The parking lot can be full if you go during busy hours but other wise plenty of street parking! read more
First time for Vietnamese. We love Thai food so of course we needed to try this new venue and new location for a new experience. Very extensive menu. Not a fan of the huge Chicken Wings as I'm just to stead fast traditional wings. I also think there are much better choices than the beef knobs. Go with one of the Pho noodle dishes or vegetable medley s which in my case was chicken. Rated 4.0 I will go back and continue to try new things. Nice place, excellent service. No alcohol just fyi. Great value... I tipped the same amount as my entire bill and felt good about it. read more
Got to tried something dishes yesterday. First thought, place is big and clean. Service is slow, they might have to train their staff to move quicker. Food was good, I liked my hot stone short rib pho. The concept is cool but I wish the broth had more depth in its favor. I will definitely try more dishes next time! read more
