    brown sugar boba
    Kai L.

    Pho Town has arrived in Allston/Brighton! The restaurant keeps the menu a short one-pager. I tried the restaurant during their grand opening in which they were offering either free spring rolls, egg rolls, or a soda if you order one of their noodle soups or ramen dishes. The entire menu is also entirely 15% off. The pho comes in one size and at the right temperature. The broth is a bit salty, but there is a good amount of meat so you won't need to fish around for protein in your dish. The egg roll was delicious, not too oily and flavorful. The ice in the brown sugar boba tea balances out the sweet and the boba is not too chewy. The servers are friendly and we did not have to wait long for our food.

    New spot and easily the best pho in the Brighton/Allston/Brookline area. Flavors on point. They put a lot of care into the food and it shows. Also try their homemade fresh roll sauce...totally unique!

    Classic spring rolls

    It's so hard to find authentic pho in Boston, and growing up in Hawaii, I have wanted to find some great Viet food here. This place was definitely amazing. I ordered the C4 and the broth was so flavorful on it's own. There was also a deal for free spring rolls (of your choice) since they just opened two weeks ago. The spring rolls were solid as well. I also ordered Thai milk tea which was yummy and tasted fresh. In fact everything did. Staff were super polite as well. I will definitely be back!!

    Real pho, bring Me back to Ho Chi Minh. Love this, recommend C4 combination. Also like the warm service here.

I ordered around 3pm in the afternoon, and it was called in record time. The lemongrass pork was juicy and flavorful in the banh mi sandwich and all the ingredients were fresh: very delicious and satisfying without being heavy! The spring roll was a lovely bonus, and the Vietnamese coffee refreshing and a perfect balance of creamy and sweet (but not too much so). Will definitely be back! I'm sure it's mobbed during the lunch hour, so before 12pm or after 2pm is recommended.

    Unfortunately this place just did not cut it for me. Got the vermicelli bowl with pork and crispy…read moreroll. I loved that the crispy rolls were vegan but it was very taro (or potato?) heavy and the taro was just slightly undercooked. Pork looked and tasted old with not much flavor and no grilled taste. It was the most disappointing part of the meal. I ended up just tossing the pork out and eating the rest, which was tolerable with the fish sauce. Wish the fish had some fresh herbs - it only came with noodles, iceberg, cucumber, peanuts, and pickled carrots and daikon. Also wished the veggies were all cut the same way for a better cohesion in texture. The lettuce pieces were kinda large and the cucumbers were sliced into discs rather than strips like everything else. Fast service, but would recommend the noodles. I did see lots of other people getting the sandwiches, which is probably what I should have ordered.

    Love going to Ba Le in Dorchester, for a quick bite! They…read moredon't have dine-in, just take-out. Love the variety they offer here. They're popular for their banh mi sandwiches & drinks. I enjoy getting their cold cut banh mi with extra butter and pate! I like that their baguettes are not too thick and are quite flaky. The bread to filling ratio is perfect each bite. Every time I visit, I always get a cold cut banh mi, nem, and sugarcane juice or an iced coffee. Super quick service. The line can seem daunting at times, especially in the early morning or lunch time but I promise it does move fast!

Two cups of fresh sugarcane and I'm good to go! Prices go up, as cost of goods go up. Still a bargain compared to other sandwiches you get for more money! Filling is always generous, you want extra butter pate? Just say so yes it cost a little more but they don't just give u a tiny bit, they smack it on your sub. The tall handsome guy at the register is always cool as hell! We also get jerky and nem with the pepper pretty frequently. Nice snack when you got class or work. I've gone out and tried so many other people's favorites because they wanted to hate on BaLe, and honest opinion lol, those other places don't even come close. They have long lines here during lunch rush or morning rush, but it moves. The bread is fresh every day. I'll just stick to my day 1. Thanks. But ayyyeee bring in more nem nuong for my custom sub haha jk.

I waited a little while for my drink but it wasn't too bad. There were a lot of students working on their laptops so it was kind of hard to get a table inside, but they have outdoor seating and it was much easier to find a spot out there. I'll definitely be back!!

Would rate 5/5 on drinks, 4/5 on food. We got the customer favorite: iced pandan matcha (with oat milk for preference) -- overall: good matcha color & flavor, pandan was not too sweet, ice ratio was good. My bf really enjoyed this one! I also got the Iced Saigonese -- strong viet coffee, still yummy with the sweetness & the foam on top enhanced the creaminess of the drink. We ordered the BBQ Pork Bahn Mi + egg, I would recommend adding the egg for sure! The egg was creamy & runny, giving it extra flavor. However, Bahn mi itself was not particularly special. We actually ordered the egg after tasting the Bahn mi & it was a little dry. Nice location, seating inside & outside but construction was happening outside, so it wasn't as enjoyable. We had went around 1PM on a Wednesday & the seats were filled. Saw some people with computers, with no problem.

Service was friendly and helpful, we got everything we needed and within a reasonable time. For appetizers we ordered the banh khot which were tasty and crispy, the shrimp tasted fresh. For entrees the table shared the signature fine vermicelli platter. The menu stated that the proteins are the chef's choice and the server mentioned that portions were enough for 3-4 people. The meat included in the platter were all deliciously flavored and cooked nicely. It came with fresh lettuce and herbs to pair with the meat. Our table also ordered a clay pot catfish which was caramelized in a tasty sauce that paired perfectly with the plain white rice. Overall, this is a good place for a meal with family or friends. The seating is comfortable and the restaurant interior is clean and nicely decorated.

Vietnamese cuisine is traditionally rooted in affordability, sharing an abundance of food, and enjoying good laughs with great company. By trying to force the concept into a high-end parallel, it just ends up feeling mediocre and hollow. The value simply isn't there--a single appetizer, one main entree, and three refreshments came out to a whopping $105. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly judgmental. Because our party of three only ordered that amount, the staff pretty much ignored us for the rest of the night after taking the order. The awkwardness started the absolute second we sat down. Before we could even settle into our chairs or get handed a menu, the waiter demanded to know what we wanted to drink. When we asked to see a menu first, he looked completely confused as to why we'd need one. After another staff member finally took our order, we sat there waiting for what felt like an eternity. When the food eventually arrived, they gave us sharing plates and chopsticks. We asked for a spoon to properly eat the claypot rice, and the waiter gave us another judging look. As Asians, we obviously know how to use chopsticks, but you objectively need a spoon to scoop the claypot SAUCE out of the pot! While the food itself is decent, the cramped atmosphere, poor hospitality, and inflated price tag mean I won't be rushing back. I might grab take out for the dumpling platter and cat fish rice pot but definitely not sitting in again.
