I wish I have a picture to show but we ate it way too fast!!! Pho Viet is an absolute go to. I might get some angry comments for saying this but pho Viet has the best cold cut banh mi in all of Massachusetts!! I will post again when I go next time and get some pictures. As someone who was born and raised in Dorchester, And ba Le was the only spot we would go. With inflation and increase in cost, I felt like the quality just kept lacking. The cold cuts are extremely thin and lack amounts of butter and pate. Pho Viet banh mi are so filling the ham was the right about of thickness that it gives a good texture when you bite into it, the veggies are extremely fresh and not does look like it's been sitting out all day. Even my parents ask me to grab them some every time I visit them in Dorchester!! Must try!!! read more

My true rating would be a 3.5/3.75. Great option if you're looking for a quick, casual meal in Boston. Ordering was easy. You order at the counter, find a seat, and the food comes out pretty quickly. We had the summer rolls and the vegan ramen. The summer rolls were fresh and flavorful, and the peanut sauce was especially good. The vegan ramen was also enjoyable, with good-quality ingredients and a satisfying broth. My only real critique is that I wish there were more options to add heat. I tend to like my noodle soups on the spicier side, and I would have loved more chili oil, hot sauce, or other spicy condiments to customize the flavor. There was also SO much broccoli and that really took over the soup, I wish there was a bit more variability or balance in the veggies. Overall, the food was tasty, the quality was solid, and the service was fast. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and tasted super authentic. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and really well made. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. Huge bonus for us--they're very pet-friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely one of our new favorite spots in Boston. We'll absolutely be back! Highly recommend! read more

Really terrific food here - we ordered takeout beef pho and banh mi and both were really exceptional. The only thing I'd say is that this is a bit pricier than some of the other Vietnamese places I've been to, but it's definitely a place I'll be back to often. Beef Pho ($15.95) - The broth here is great - so nice and savory. You can tell that it simmers for a really long time to get all of that flavor from the bones. It has a bit of a sweet note to it as well which is a bit more than I'm used to, but I really liked it still. There was a good amount of meat, and the whole soup experience was great, especially for takeout. They did skimp on the bean sprouts and herbs with takeout though - it was a pretty small amount of veggies, but still a really solid pho. Banh Mi ($9.75) - Yes, the price is a bit high for this one as well but the size was HUGE. The pickled veggies were perfectly sweet and tart, and the cilantro added a nice freshness with the cucumbers. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the balance of flavors here was really spot on. And, like I said, it was HUGE. Definitely not the cheapest Vietnamese food I've had, but also absolutely delicious - I will be back! read more

Solid pho place on Commonwealth by the BU campus. The two items I've gotten here, Fish ball pho and lemongrass pork vermicelli, are flavorful and definitely satisfy my Vietnamese food cravings. I want to come back to try their banh mi and their drink options. Convenient for take out and you could dine in as they have a couple tables but plan for extra time to wait if you come during the weekend or before an event at Agganis Arena. Their space is smaller and it can get quite busy but it's well managed. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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.

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? read more

The banh mi here was great. For the price, they packed a lot. The location and ambiance was good and easily accessible.

I had been craving banh mi for weeks and finally was able to stop here to grab some. Street parking was plentiful on a Sunday afternoon. My husband an I were looking for a light lunch so we ordered a pork banh mi and an order of the crispy spring rolls and split the two and were pleasantly surprised to find that the spring rolls came with a ton of veggies and noodles! Between the two, this was enough food to keep us satiated for hours. I was really impressed with the bread of the banh mi also. The crust was crunchy without being hard. This was the best banh mi I've had in awhile. I also had a Che ba mau and it had the right balance of coconut milk and fillings- just like how I remember it from childhood. I'd come back here again! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Pho Viet's - Ham with rice rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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. read more

Pho comes overtly sweet other than that it was decent. It also didn't come with many of the typical herbs and other things most Pho comes with, left a lot to be desired. It wasn't made clear that you couldn't sit down and order, which led us to wait for longer than we needed too. Generally ok. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Overall, good. Maybe 3+. I had the beef special pho. The soup was flavorful and it had a good balance between meet and noodles. The bean sprouts were very clean. The ice coffee was delicious, but I think that's always good. We had the pork and shrimp spring rolls, which were similarly good. Overall satisfying bowl of pho. read more

If you've been in boston long enough, you'll remember the pho place in Super 88 well Pho Viet is apparently the offspring of that place (quite literally!). One of the co-owners is a BU alum so go support! As for food, the menu has everything from pho, vermicelli, coffee, banh mi and bubble tea! I got the standard Beef with pho and the Espresso with condensed milk. The coffee is strong and yummy just like I like it. The pho broth is really rich and flavorful as well (good for hangovers!). Ambiance is modern and clean, but FYI if you're coming with a large group you might have to wait for a couple tables to open up. Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Amazing food. Glad they stayed around the area! I love their Chicken Ca Ri, which is a signature chicken curry soup with amazing spices! It comes with either a baguette or noodles. The traditional is the bread but both are delicious! Their bread is so fresh so can't go wrong with a banh mi. Pho was a staple and broth was delicious! So far loved everything about this place. Gets busy so getting a table can be difficult sometimes, but people are fairly quick so it will be a short wait. read more

I've been getting Pho Viet's since I was a kid when they were in the Super 88/HK Supermarket food court. Their chicken banh mi has been my hyperfixation meal since childhood and I still go back to it as my go-to. It used to be like $3 and stuffed with so much meat I could barely fit my mouth around it LOL but now it's roughly $8-9 bc inflation with less meat but like idc it's still so good. Sometimes when I go in person the meat is literally steaming bc it's so fresh and the baguette is crispy and flaky and so yum. It's one of few places, maybe even the only place I know, that makes a good chicken banh mi bc they slice the chicken thinly and marinate it well and it's not dry. My siblings love the beef one but I don't like beef so idk but if they like it i guess it's good. My dad has an obsession with their viet fried rice or something like that bc everywhere he goes he needs to have rice. My mom calls him a rice bucket. I haven't had that one in a long time but it was good. No but really this place is run by a nice family w quick service (they speak Canto!) and one time when their Allston/BU location was closed I really went all the way to their Newton location to satisfy my cravings and it was just as good. Not great pics but w.e. read more

This place is such a gem. I usually get takeout from here because the seating is pretty limited, but I swear the food never disappoints. The summer rolls are my favorite thing to get, but the lemongrass vermicelli bowls are a close second. The banh mi and pho is also very good! read more

Pho Viet's - 3A. Two Pieces Special Shrimp Roll - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm Viet and this is a close version of authentic Vietnamese food. Tried the pho. The flavor of the broth is missing some depth. Pho came with none of the herbs that any other Viet restaurants would give you as a standard for the dish. Tried the rice combo dish. 95% there. The fish sauce was a touch too savory for this dish, it needed to be adjusted. Meat for the rice dish and the lemongrass chicken dish was over marinated, making the meat tough and not fresh. For the prices they were charging, we were given flimsy plastic spoons and forks to eat with. Had to ask for a flimsy knife to cut the meat. (See picture.) read more

Great food but confusing policies. I came in with a group of friends on a Friday night hoping to dine in, but there weren't any tables open so we ordered our food to-go. As we were waiting for our food, tables opened up and we were able to sit down. An employee came by to let us know that if we ordered to-go, then the tables were off limits, but that he would let it slide. It's unreasonable to expect us to order our food for dine-in and stand around with hot soup bowls waiting for a table to open up. Additionally, people also order to-go sometimes because they plan on having leftovers. read more

~review for takeout~ Got the spring rolls and Bun Bo Hue. The Bun Bo Hue was very flavorful, not too spicy but has all the right seasoning. I do wish the spring rolls had a bit more mint and that the peanuts were not actually in the rolls (esp for those with allergies) but overall pretty good! read more

Awesome pho. Not a fancy restaurant but one that makes really good pho, very close to genuine

Hmm. Overall it was a good experience. Was it the best pho ever? Best BBH ever? Best bahnmi ever? No. But was it good? Yes. Honestly it hit the spot. The pho could have had more flavor and the BBH could have had more flavor. It wasn't as deep of a flavor as I like. The meat on the bahnmi was good and had a good tempo throughout the sandwich. Overall good experience. No complaints read more

This small little hole-in-the-wall has one of the best bahn mis I've tried in Boston thus far. We came here on a scorching hot summer day and were craving something fresh, and this place did the trick. I started with an ice cold Thai tea which was the perfect amount of sweetness. I then ordered a pork bahn mi and split an order of crispy vegetarian spring rolls, both which were absolutely amazing. The spring rolls were piping hot, fresh out of the fryer, and were served with some greens, noodles, and dipping oil. The bahn mi was stacked with toppings and delicious marinated meat. The bread was also perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although there aren't too many tables inside, we enjoyed our meal at one of the remaining high tables, nestled away in the dining area. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating, making for a great dining experience. read more

Food was ok but somewhat disappointing experience. Used to be better. Nicer place now than when it was at the super 88.

Liked it but didn't love it. Probably a 3.5 in terms of taste but 4 overall. The place is nice and clean looking, which is a huge upgrade from their Super 88 days. The concept is pretty much self service. You order at the register, they bring you the food, and then you take your empty dishes into the bin by the door. Unfortunately I only saw bottled water for purchase, disposable utensils, and no condiments on display but I guess this cuts on cost! I ordered the tofu banh mi and the seafood pho, the sandwich was okay - not as flavorful as I'd like and the bread wasn't the freshest, and the pho did not come with the standard basil / lime / beansprouts nor the sriracha and hoisin sauce combo. I'm not sure if you have to ask, but I could not flag anyone down in time so I ate it as is. Prices are decent for where you're at, but I was expecting a little more in terms of portion. read more
