The food at Pho Viet 2 is absolutely the best. My wife orders chick dishes, my daughter orders sandwiches, and I am a vegetarian. Each dish is terrific. Additionally, the owner is a terrific person and all the staff helps us order and provided the best dishes. Please try Pho Viet 2 - You'll have a great diner and lunch. Jonathan read more

Pho Viet is the best! Have never had a bad meal here. The orders are ready quick and employees are pleasant. It used to be that you could sit down and eat here but now they just do take out. They have a good size menu and even an app you can order direct through. My go to food from here: - crab gangoon - lemongrass chicken with rice or vermicelli - pork banh mi sandwich - any pho read more

Pho Viet’s II - 33. Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Breast with Rice and fried egg - Vietnamese Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

See all

Pho Viet 2 is a well-established Vietnamese take-out restaurant right in the heart of Newton Centre. This family-run spot has been serving the area for over 15 years and is a go-to for a wide variety of authentic Vietnamese dishes, from pho and bun (vermicelli bowls) to com (rice plates) and banh mi. We ordered the pho dac biet, their special beef noodle soup. The portion was extremely generous, packed with a good variety of meats and, truthfully, so many noodles we almost couldn't finish it. The broth was the highlight, hearty, aromatic, and with that deep, comforting flavor you expect from a good pho. While pho is their signature, their menu is quite extensive and includes other specialties like the spicy Bun Bo Hue. The food consistently offers great value for the price, making it a reliable and solid choice for a quick, satisfying meal to bring home. It's a straightforward, no-frills spot that focuses on delivering classic flavors. read more

Was in the area yesterday and stumbled upon this gem next to the Newton Harvest Fair. The Com Suong Bi Cha plate was delicious: a great balance of flavors and textures. Also, generous with the protein portion. A satisfying and hearty meal on a perfect fall afternoon! read more

Delicious Bun Bo Hue Amazing Pho flavor and contents Excellent Lemongrass grilled chicken Yummy fried rice Only downside but not going to knock it is it's Take Out only. We wanted to dine in. Great prices also. read more

why so much noodle for the pho? I could hardly taste the whole dish. re broth. More flavor/complexity is needed. less sodium. The chicken in the spring rolls was chewy as hell/hard to swallow. Price point was okay . tho supporting family business is the preference, sad to say.. I will need to return to Soup Shack. read more

Great menu ... all day banh mi and a host of other items both typical and some not seen in Boston-area Vietnamese restaurants. The food is fresh and delicious, the quantities are great and the staff are super friendly! read more

I love this place! The Pho is amazing! The soup is prepped so perfectly with everything in the bowl, all you have to do is add the delicious broth and enjoy! Portions are super generous with lots of protein. We ordered the shrimp and chicken summer rolls which were so fresh and yummy! We've also had the pork, beef and chicken bánh mi and they're all fabulous! Working our way through the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Staff is so friendly and accommodating and we love supporting a local business. read more

Yes for the pho but since this location is take out only, it makes it difficult to enjoy your pho on the fly. I am a regular at the comm ave shop. read more

I ordered two pho and two bánh mì to go, and everything was excellent. The bánh mì had perfectly crispy bread with generous portions of meat and fresh vegetables. The pho broth was rich and flavorful. Service was quick, and I would definitely return. read more

Definitely not a pork sandwich. The biggest issue - when I called to ask what it was (to decide if I should just eat it), the woman just kept yelling "grilled pork tomorrow" at me over and over. I was then hung up on as I tried to explain my question past the language barrier. read more

Pho Viet’s II - Definitely not a Grilled Pork Sandwich - Vietnamese Near Me - Newton, Massachusetts

Pho Viet's II, the best Vietnamese food spot in the Newton area. Currently, they're only doing takeout orders (no dine-in). Staff prepares the food SUPER quick it's incredible. Took less than 10 minutes for our entire order to be ready. We tried their spring rolls with shrimp + beef, bun bo hue, lemongrass chicken leg rice plate, & lemongrass sliced beef rice plate. Overall, everything was solid and had perfect flavor. I wish that they included slices of white/yellow onions to put in my soup but there was only green scallions. Parking: Plenty of parking (meters) right outside and across the street. Totally recommend coming here if you're in the area and looking for authentic Viet food. read more

This is THE Vietnamese spot in the newton waltham area. Quick, easy and consistent. Being as viet food always is hard to judge when your folks chef it up heavy. I'm glad this family opened in newton. This location is takeout now, the staff, family that owns it and the bosses are all super sweet and service is top notch. We got the Bo Nuong, Ga nuong (chicken leg) lemon grass rice plates and the BBH (Bun Bo Hue). Also got the fresh spring rolls. The chicken thigh with rice marinated to perfection, taste the lemongrass and the grill of the chicken. It was juicy and a great portion with rice, hot sauce and fish sauce. One of the few i enjoy this particular dish from since DK in Chinatown closed! We also got the Bo (beef) version and the slices were plentiful, tender melting in mouth type! Veggies and pickled sides were all fresh, clean and eye appealing. The BBH had a good broth. The meat was tender, probably ask for some additional purple cabbage to go for the BBH next time but very enjoyable! The spring rolls were got beef and shrimp combo, i must say they are a Hefty lot!!! So you could get full off it haha welcome surprise and thank you Chi hai! Come thru if you want quality, efficiency, and kind service! Then go home and destroy the finger licking goodness! read more

Do not eat or tip here!!! I've heard that the restaurant owner takes all the tips and withholds them from employees. Definitely something worth knowing before eating here. Will not be coming back, and will be spreading the word. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! Beef Banh Mi is out of this world and the Pho incredible. Reasonable prices too!

Love the sandwiches. This was my first experience, a friend volunteered to pick up lunch! So grateful. Will definitely be going back! read more

Delicious food and my favorite sandwich and Summer rolls. I only wish they would use softer bread or fresher otherwise I'd give it a 5

Got takeout - it was our first time trying this restaurant and boy was the meal outstanding! I had a shrimp vermicelli bun dish, and my husband had something with mangoes, and we shared some appetizers. Everything was scrumptious - perfect amount of moisture and flavor. My husband picked up a "back up" sandwich in case he didn't like the food. Well, he had that sandwich for lunch. The next day since taste was not a problem. We will definitely be back! read more

Pandemic Review 2022 and my 2000th review Pho Viets II took over that No. 1 Noodle House spot in Newton Center. And currently during covid they are offering takeout only. They are a small 2 spot family run chain, with the original having moved down the street from the Allston Chinese market food court over to 1022 Commonwealth Ave in Brookline. When placing your order, be careful to be sure to select and head over to the correct location! We picked up a few things to share. Their grilled Vietnamese sandwiches are $7 (not spicy please) apiece, with added pate for a buck. The grilled beef bahn mi was parent approved! The vegetables & tofu egg fried rice $12.85 was good, a good portion, and had plenty of firm crisp veggies. Chicken $4 or shrimp $5 could be easily added for a surcharge. Their lemongrass protein comes on either rice as a rice plate (com dia) or on vermicelli as a bun, with various pork or chicken sharing one price point while other proteins such as beef on their own a bit higher up, with the vermicelli starting at $11.25, while the rice began at $11.50. Fried spring roll(s) can be added to the meat and vermicelli (bun) bowls for $2, or alternatively, #49 offers a preset combo of spring roll for $12.30 with your choice of protein ($1 surcharge for beef only), so my guess is that the portion might be adjusted somewhat, so this may be the better option for the lighter weight diner. Too bad the kitchen was backed up, but otherwise things were fine! I didn't get to try their spring roll, but the grilled pork and beef on the rice and vermicelli and the fresh veggies with the fish sauce on the side (I added it myself!) were good here and made for rather refreshing a meal. *** Their beef short ribs over rice looked good but were rather tough to chew for the most part. But it seemed to depend on the piece of meat, as at least one diner didn't have the same experience as me. Personally, we'll probably avoid this dish in the future. Their shrimp lo mein was strongly flavored and came with a good mix of firm brightly colored vegetables. A decent choice when looking for cooked veggies, besides the salad side accompaniment that comes with their meat and vermicelli plates. *** Been back in 2023. The Vietnamese subs are now $8, plus $1 for the pate. And the primary dishes we get here are $13.95 for the chicken leg rice plate, lemongrass pork with vermicelli, and the vegetable tofu egg fried rice. read more

We ordered lunch for pick up, a grilled chicken bahn mi and chicken and shrimp summer rolls- I wish they used the same chicken that was in the bahn mi for the summer rolls because the summer roll chicken was so hard and chewy... like it was over cooked? I asked for sriracha and was told there was already one in the pack, I asked for an extra and it maybe was a communication issue or they only give 1 per order but we def could've used another. The bahn Mi was tasty and everything but the chicken in the summer roll was good- I'll have to try the tofu summer roll next time, with extra sriracha read more

Food is the most authentic Viet food near me without going into Boston. I've had Banh Mi, curry, and noodle soups, and all have had great flavor and amazing broths consistently. Bread is always crispy. Only downside is that it's takeout only but overall 100% worth it every time! read more

Located in a corner of Newton Center, this is mainly a takeout spot for their Newton location. They've got some pretty solid eats - with each and every bite being pretty flavorful, and good portions for their prices, despite their small staff and cozy store. Would definitely recommend their pork banh mi, as well as their rolls! read more

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the Lemon Grass Chicken with White Rice. Generous portions and Very delicious ! We also tried the Chicken Noodle Soup which also was excellent with tasty noodles and chicken broth. It's take out service only, so be aware of that before hand, but I believe you will not be disappointed. read more

Simply the best. Amazing food and wonderful staff. Our go-to Vietnamese place and we order from here probably once a week! The bahn-mi, pork bun, dumplings, and more are all so delicious. read more

I ordered take out from Pho Viet's II on a Sunday evening. We ordered the lemongrass beef vermicelli and a beef banh mi. The food was ready to pick up after 10 minutes, which was super fast! A ton of people clearly had the same idea, since there were tons of cars pulled up waiting for their food. The beef vermicelli was very good. I got a side of fish sauce, since it's essential! I also asked for a side of sweet chili sauce which I also added on top. The beef was very flavorful and tender, and the vermicelli noodles were very refreshing! The beef banh mi (not pictured because I inhaled that as soon as I could) was delicious! I almost feel like the banh mi is more worth than the beef vermicelli, since it's almost half the price while having basically the same amount of meat. But, you can't go wrong either way! Overall, we loved all the food and I'll definitely be back for another beef banh mi!! read more

Best bahn mi I've had. Fresh baked bread, homemade mayo, great ingredient, just delicious, every time.

Still continuing to eat at Pho Viet. Their food is a go-to for my family. If you are going to get a Bahn mí or Vietnamese sandwich I would highly suggest the tofu one. Even if you don't really like tofu, I guarantee you will like it here. Even as a meat eater, I think it tastes the best. For drinks, I would also recommend the lychee ice, its very different from anything I have ever had. The service is also amazing, they are genuinely so sweet there. I think since COVID they have transitioned into being take out early, but don't let that turn you away, you can go sit at the picnic benches right down the street to enjoy your food. read more

got wrong food, despite ordering in person. The older lady who was taking my order ( owner?) picked up the phone WHILE I was talking to her telling her what I wanted ( leaving me waiting to finish taking their order, though I was first and in the middle of talking - is this rude or the new norm?) After she hang up she continued rushing me, I TRIPLE emphasized I wanted 3 different dishes ( stating the numbers) when I got home TWO dishes were not even there! no fried rice, and no ginger scallion. instead we got the same dish 2 times! ! just making it look different by separating the rice on one, and leaving it in the container for the others. utterly disappointing experience from a place that claims " best of Boston" will NOT go back and let my friends know as well. what a waste of money and time. read more

This continues to be my favorite Vietnamese spot in Boston after they opened about 5 years ago! The team there are always so kind which makes it feel like a true local and family business. They moved to takeout only post COVID but it works great. The food is well packaged and still tastes great. My son is obsessed with their crispy noodles (which they also customize for us with a smile) and I can't order food without getting myself a Vietnamese iced coffee! My newest favorite is the beef cubes with rice! Great to see the business continues to be busy every time I stop in! read more
