    4. Three Pieces Vietnamese Spring Roll  25. Spicy Beef Noodle Soup 33. Lemongrass Chicken Breast with Rice Plate

    This place is always reliable and very comforting. The food is good and taste fresh. You order at the counter, it can get packed not much seating. But there are tables if you want to dine in. Highlight is the food.

    Amazing food! Every dish we have tried is great but the pork chop rice plate and Special Pho are a favorite. Bahn Mis also need a little shout out. I have been going to the same Vietnamese restaurant in the Bay Area since I was a kid and have tried many many different places throughout the country and especially the east coast since going to college and moving out here and this is the only place I have tried that comes close to my place back home. Even took my parents here during a visit right after they returned stateside from a vacation in Vietnam and they loved it. Don't hesitate to try this place out I can't recommend it enough!

    Everything was pretty good you just have to tweek your order. Also got side of chicken broth not sure if it was from scratch didn't ask as we got it to go got a cold cut banh mi which was solid. I shall return. Use to buy banh mis when they were at the food court in super 88 up the block.

    Not sure I would describe this place a hole-in-the-wall, like some reviews say. Maybe it's because I've been to more run-down places than this in the past LOL, but Pho Viet's is a small restaurant with lots to offer. They have a few tables and chairs for dining in, and whenever I drop in, there are always lots of people eating inside. I like to order carry out from here because of how close it is to home. Service is fairly quick and they have a very large menu. What I appreciate the most is their generous portions. I can get almost two meals out of one order, so it's worth the almost $20 for an entree!

    Pho with Rare Steak - A bowl of Vietnamese pho contains slices of beef, fresh cilantro, green onions, and herbs in a clear broth. Next to the bowl, there is a plate with bean sprouts, basil, and sliced cucumbers. A small rectangular dish holds soy sauce and chili sauce for dipping. The setting appears to be a restaurant table with a white marble surface.

    The pho was delish! Despite being busy, the restaurant didn't feel overcrowded and the food came out extremely fast. On top of that, the portions were huge for a very reasonable price. This is a great spot for warm, comforting vibes and to grab a tasty bowl of ramen with friends or family!

    Special beef noodle soup
    Oliver H.

    Just a short walk away from Agganis Arena and accessible via the green line! Got the special beef noodle soup and it was delicious and a large serving size for it's cost. The amount of meat was good and the broth was very clean and had a depth of flavor. Didn't take a picture of the skewer appetizers but they were 3 large sized skewers which was decent for it's price. Not the best location for big parties since there's an assortment of tables inside that can maybe fit 25 people? Once it hit 6pm it got slammed so definitely try to get there sooner rather than later if you want to sit down. If you sit towards the front of the restaurant, you will get a draft whenever someone opens the door which will be pretty often (this place seemed very popular w door dash etc). Will definitely come back here again, possibly Everytime I go to an event at Agganis?

    Bun Bo hue
    Eri L.

    Stopped by on a rainy day and found the bun bo hue to be a great pick-me-up. It was very comforting and portions were generous. Very mildly spicy. The beef tendon was very tender and I appreciated the variety of meats in this dish. Food came out quick and service was friendly. There are plenty of tables in the back of the restaurant.

    Ham with rice rolls
    Victoria C.

    Pho Viets is one of my go to places for quality Vietnamese food. I've gotten everything from pho, banh mi, vermicelli bowls, and rice plates. Everything I've ordered has always been top notch and the portions are enough to share or keep for 2 meals. It's great that they've moved into their own place since they have a handful of small tables for indoor seating. The service is quick because everytime I've ordered online it's been ready to pickup by the time I get there. My most recent visit I decided to try out the Vietnamese ham and rice rolls. It comes with side of pickled carrots, cucumbers, and bean sprouts with fish sauce and spicy sauce. It's definitely best eaten when it's fresh when the rice noodles are soft, but still heats up well the next day. If you looking for a quick, affordable meal I'd definitely recommend checking this place out.

    So glad this place got their own space out here - they used to be in the food court across the street . What an upgrade! And what a cute cool and cozy space inside! Very cute interior art on the counter wall depicting scenes from South Asia, and the brick wall with the benches and greenery with potted plants. They did a great job with the decor incorporating the Vietnamese culture and roots in here. Very nice! It's a long space that leads to a few tables at the far end. Seating for about 20-25 people. Banh Mi sandwiches were great we got chicken and pork plus a few extra for next days lunch. Yummy! Tasty, filling and fresh as always! Go here if you haven't already!

    Chicken Banh Mi - A Vietnamese banh mi sandwich features a crusty baguette filled with fried protein, fresh vegetables including carrots, cucumber, and pickled daikon, and garnished with cilantro and green onions. The sandwich is wrapped in paper and held in a person's hand, with a dark background suggesting it is being eaten outdoors or in a vehicle.

    Fish ball noodle soup comes with crispy garlic on top; I opted for pho rice noodles. I think you can customize your noodle type. Pho Ga is good, too. And they make the best banh mi in Boston--such good quality. I've only tried the beef and chicken banh mi, as I don't eat pork and prefer my tofu outside of bread, lol. Truly, they are the best bang for your buck. The chicken inside the banh mi is well-portioned and cooked/seasoned extremely well, as is the beef. I love a good beef banh mi, but I ALWAYS crave their chicken banh mi--trust me and just try it.

    Phở Gà (Chicken Rice Noodle Soup) - A black bowl contains a serving of Vietnamese chicken pho with clear broth, shredded chicken pieces, chopped green onions, and cilantro. The dish is garnished with herbs and vegetables, typical of traditional Vietnamese cuisine, and is placed on a white surface. The background shows part of a person's arms and a beige jacket.

    I have had the pleasure of going here and I think Pho Viet's has some great Vietnamese food around the Boston area! Granted my experience is slightly limited because I have only been there once and did not order a lot of stuff, so if I have the chance to return, I would like to try this spot again. Phở Gà was probably the best I have had almost anywhere in the United States, and the fact that the chicken is hand-pulled makes the texture extra nice! The broth is very well-made which of course enhances the experience of eating any type of phở! I also had the vegetable & tofu egg fried rice. The rice was quite mediocre with no distinct flavor or seasoning, probably because the vegetables on top of the rice should be the main part of this dish, and it shows. The dish felt like vegetables placed on top of plain rice and that was it. The vegetables also lacked seasoning, which was unexpected. The stark contrast of these two dishes that I have had is leading me to give this place a 4 star. I think part of it might be because others don't really come here to order what I have ordered, the Rau Cải Xào Cơm (Vegetable & Tofu Egg Fried Rice), so maybe I will order something more in line with where their popularity lies next time.

    Popular location amongst locals and students. It is typically very busy and the seating is limited. Service is generally quick. You place your order first and then find a seat. It is Chinese operated as you can hear Cantonese through out the cooking team. Because of the consistent clientele and quick turn around; the food tends to be hot and fresh. The portions are generous and the price is reasonable for the area.

    Pork Banh Mi
    Emily L.

    This restaurant used to be located in Super 88 but I am glad they found a new location on Comm ave! The inside is fairly small but has a decent amount of seating. Not great for large groups though. I cant speak to rest of the menu but I do enjoy their pork Banh mi! Some cons to the Banh mi - it is not as flavorful as I'd like. I wish they grilled the pork and had the pickled veggies more pickled. But that is just my preference. For $7 in this location, it is well worth it. A good value lunch!

    Wings, 5. Three Pieces Vegetarian Spring Roll - A white takeout container holds Vietnamese-style spring rolls wrapped in translucent rice paper, chicken wings with a grilled appearance, and small plastic cups of dipping sauces. The container also includes shredded lettuce and carrots as garnishes. The food appears to be part of a Vietnamese or Asian cuisine meal, served for takeout or delivery.

Pad Thai: Just like at Nine Tastes, my first bite was overwhelmed by the strong sourness... According to ChatGPT, American Southeast Asian restaurants may use concentrated tamarind sauce instead of the original tamarind-infused water, or reduce the sugar to suit American tastes, hence the extra sourness of Pad Thai. Learned something new! The shrimp was very fresh, firm and tender; the rice noodles were stir-fried with a great wok hei 鑊氣(wok aroma), and the portion was huge, but it got a bit oily towards the end. My favorite was the peanuts--they were incredibly fragrant, and not too finely ground, giving them a better texture. Also, a larger plate is really needed; it would be much easier to mix all the ingredients together. Drunken Noodles: The wide flat rice noodles were authentic. The spicy flavor added another layer of wok hei, and the thin layer of chili oil helped retain heat and enhance the aroma. Although a bit spicy, I felt it was the best of the three. Saigon Noodle: It felt like a combination of the two above, with a touch of sweet and sour and a hint of spicy, but neither was particularly prominent. It had a hint of sesame oil, but I personally don't really like sesame oil.

Here are things they should really improve on to make it even better: - put expiration dates or packed dates on certain items, such as the desserts in the fridge. That's the norm practice elsewhere. Thus, the absence of these dates strongly suggests deception, i.e., bad faith attempts to sell older produce when they should already have been trashed. - do put the prices of the items rather than letting customers wondering or just blindly let the cashier ring it up without being informed of the price first. Why not place the price there? And yes, this is probably more desirable because of the aforementioned practice of marking up prices at the Ba Le Quincy Branch (this is documented all over Google and Yelp reviews for Ba Le Quincy), which may be why we have good reasons to be hyperly cautious when making purchases from these personnel.
