I have been meaning to try Saigon Chicken House for a hot minute now & today I was finally able to see what the hype was about! I tried one of their signature dishes, bó nè, which is beef, sunny side up egg, jalapeno, and onions on a sizzling hot plate with some pâté + BUTTER (omg!). I paired this meal with a limeade because lately I have been absolutely OBSESSED with limeade (if you like lemonade, you need to try if you haven't !) The limeade here is perfect, not too sweet & not sour. Fries and a baguette come with an order of bó nè to dip. Taste: It was SO GOOD! Very delicious comfort meal, perfect for brunch. This dish comes in small or large size, and also an XL size too I believe. The pâtè with the beef and runny egg was chef's kiss. AND with the baguette too?? YES. So glad I was finally around in the area to try Saigon Chicken House. I will definitely be back soon to get bó nè and try some of their other dishes. Highly recommend if you're in the Dorchester/Fields Corner area!!!
Bò né is good, but a little sweet. Bánh mì muối ớt portion is quite big. The pork floss on it is quite salty, but overall it is good. I don't recommend the bánh khọt here. The bánh itself feels too much after a bite or two. Also the portion is wat too big for an appetizer. It is also not very crispy. Their menu has a lot of interesting items; I'd come back to try other dishes.
As the place has been around along time now in the former Pho so 1 location in dorchester's fields corner. Of course the lady hasn't tried their signature Bo Ne sizzling plate yet so had to try! Onions jalepenos beef and pate with a sunny side up egg! Dig in with the bread and. Fries! Their chicken dishes are usually really good too so if you have the appetite, try some salt pepper chicken and rice dishes etc. they also have traditional Viet dishes so don't fret of those in your group don't eat beef or chicken. Many options. Service was always good for me the ladies working are always sweet and quick. The space is clean, bathrooms for patrons only and has classic Vietnamese music playing for the ambiance. Always a pleasure dining here.
Location: not in the best location... I was looking forward to visit Little Saigon since we're from out of state but it's not the best place. Seems a bit stretchy and scary around walking around. FOOD: overall it was DELICIOUS A3. Cánh Gà Chiên Nước Mắm Fried Chicken Wing w/Fish Sauce B6. Cơm Chiên Gà Xối Mở - my son loved it. However, when I tried the rice, I can tell it was bad... My son couldn't tell. D4. Cơm Tấm Tôm & Thịt Nướng Broken Rice w/ Grilled Pork & Grilled Shrimp E12. Bún Bò Xào Lăn Vermicelli w/Stir Fried Beef M6. Gà Hấp Lá Chanh Chicken Steam w/Lemon Leaf SERVICE - Staff were friendly & welcoming - However, they don't check on you much like American restaurant. Atmosphere: it's okay but clean
Ordered delivery for context. We tried the bamboo chicken noodle soup with banana blossom salad, banh bot chien, grilled pork rice plate and spring rolls. Everything was great! One of the few places that has bot chien around here and they did a great job!
More of a 4.5! I used to come here a lot when I was in middle and high school when it was something else- after new ownership and the rebrand, I tried it again and it was okay, but recently I came back after craving their Bo Ne (Napoleon Beef aka Vietnamese steak and eggs) and wow was I kinda shocked. We order different shareable dishes amongst a group of 4 and we all had the same thoughts- food was a lot better than my first time after their rebrand. Not only that, but the service is amazing and above the expectations of Vietnamese restaurants. Our server asked if we were sharing certain dishes so she could bring our proper dish wars and utensils, and she was always on top of it with refilling our tea and making sure we had every thing we need. It's spacious with seats enough to fit small groups, so I'd recommend going with a few people so you can try different things! I recommend: Bó Nè A sizzling hot plate of marinated beef, pâté, egg, and garnishes. You eat it with a baguette and it's just wow It comes with crinkle cut fries (store bought but like still good :p). Ốc Len Xào Dừa AKA sea snails with coconut milk. Quite literally one of the Viet dishes you have to try the coconut milk is too good. Don't be afraid to really suck on the snail Bắp Xào Sautéed with butter and dried shrimp (for flavor and a Viet thing), what could be better?? *fyi isn't too sweet because Vietnamese corn isn't that sweet! Wash it down with some of the limeade and you're in for a good meal! Also not sure the full name but we also got this cheesy garlicky snails and it was 100/10
Bo ne was delicious! Came with a side of fries and Vietnamese baguette. Vegetables that layed on top was nothing special and was raw but still good nonetheless.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Boston. Came here with some friends for Sunday lunch a couple months ago and we still about that meal today. Loved every dish we got but our favorites were the bo ne and banh bot chien gion. The bo ne was delicious, it comes with the softest bread that you can use to dip into the pate and it all melts in your mouth. The beef was super tender as well. It's hard to find banh bot chien at viet restaurants so I had to order it when I saw they had it. Omg the rice cakes were so crispy and perfect, we almost bought a second one to-go but were too stuffed by the end of our meal. Can't wait to come back!
Any chicken dishes here is spot on, very juicy and tender. I think they are known for their chicken rice dish, and Bo Ne. I always got these two dishes when I am here. Don't order seafood dishes from here tho, like oc len xao dua. Not fresh, very little meat, and over priced. Staffs here are supper nice, and willing to help you with whatever you need, but some of them have hard time listening to the order request, so just be patient, please.
I've been to Saigon Chicken House couple of times and it's been pretty good each time I've been here. It's a no frills kind of place, but the service is nice. My go to items is the steak and eggs and the rice paper salad. For a place that specialized in Chicken, the steak and eggs is by far one of my favorite items on the menu. It comes out on a hot plate with eggs, pate, beef, and some vegetables. It's served with bread so you can rip it apart and dip in the dish. One of the other dishes I usually get is the rice paper salad. It's an acquired taste because of the texture in my opinion, but it's different and refreshing at times. It's just cut up rice paper that is tosses with sauce and vegetables with quail eggs on the side. I'll have to admit that there are times when the salad is a little salty though. The chicken and the chicken pho is okay as well. The chicken is juicy and flavorful and the chicken pho is very homey.
Went to the restaurant in a whim since I was in the area and probably one of the best decisions I made. I tired their Bo Ne (Vietnamese sizzling steak and eggs), which is the first time ever trying this dish and it did not disappoint. The dish came with a baguette and fries on the side and packed with so much flavor. Also had the Pho Tai with the thin slicked beef. (I was so glad it came with the option for a smaller size because this meal was so filling). The Pho was pretty good, could taste the flavor of the beef and onions in the soup that was not watered down or super salty like other Pho restaurants. I also saw a lot of Vietnamese dining in and carrying out so I'm pretty confident in its authenticity in Vietnamese cuisine. Seems like a great place to hang out with friends will a chill vibe. Also has a tremendous menu so plenty of things to try. But for the Bo Ne itself would definitely recommend.
The bo ne is super popular here and I can understand why! I can't say no to a hot, sizzling plate of tender beef, rich and savory pate, and creamy fried eggs. Served with both bread and fries for dipping, this is amazing for enjoying as an entree alone or for sharing with friends! For 4 of us we each ordered our own entrees and split the XL bo ne. We were all stuffed by the end. I ordered a pho tai gau and was a little disappointed by the lack of flavor in the broth. Another person at my table ordered a rice dish which came with a side of chicken broth. I regretted getting a beef-based pho because the chicken broth was the most flavorful chicken broth I've ever had in my life! It would have been really good in pho. The meat portion in the pho was good but not super generous. Unless you are craving beef pho, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it (especially since there are much better options on the menu).
I recently tried Bún Măng Vịt at Saigon Chicken House and it was amazing! It was my first time having it, and I'm so glad I did. The duck was so tender and the broth was flavorful. My wife had the Napoleon beef dish was really good. The beef was on a sizzling skillet, the egg was cooked perfectly, and the bread roll was crispy. It was a satisfying and delicious meal. A worker was able to translate the dishes to English wish helped us with selecting and recommended pairings. Everything on the menu was traditional. I highly recommend it.

The best Vietnamese food in Boston! This place not only serves your classic pho, but also has some unique dishes like the Bo ne (sizzling steak platter, served with a baguette and French fries) and banh bot chien gion (golden fried rice pancake - so crispy with soft scrambled eggs). The servers are kind and food comes out fast. The place is normally bustling but don't let this deter you. The only con of this place is that it's a bit of a trek from Boston's city center, but it's definitely worth it! read more
Only spot around Dorchester where you can get Bo Ne. Currently it's $19 for it. It comes with one baguette and a side of crinkle fries. Some of the beef was a little tough and chewy but overall decent. The pate wasn't hitting for some reason. If they can manage to get Ba Le's pate, this would definitely hit the spot lol I also ordered their chicken and rice. Did not get a chance to take a picture of it because I literally went in on it lol I would definitely come back just for these two dishes. The chicken and rice came with a ginger fish sauce. It was so good. Service was super nice. It was a chill Monday morning. read more

My friend had been to Saigon Chicken House, but it was my first visit. Saigon Chicken House is across the street from the post office and a short walk from the Red Line Fields Crossing station on the Ashmont line. It is rather spacious inside with 4 round tables surrounded by rectangular tables and smaller round tables set by the walls. Her impression was that the chicken was good here, but the rice plates were not quite sufficient for an individual's appetite. so we ended up sharing a half chicken portion of their Special Qui Phi Chicken Steam (Market Price - $20 on this visit), chicken rice $3 (vs $2 for plain rice), and #101 Noodle Soup with crab, shrimp paste, snails, and water spinach $10.95. The chicken was good, but I particularly enjoyed the chicken rice with a good douse of the ginger fish sauce which had accompanied the chicken. The noodles in the soup were a thick round noodle. The bowl generous and flavorful with a manageable hit of heat. The snails found at the bottom of the bowl were a bit rubbery so I could have done without. The special Bo Ne - Vietnamese Sizzling Steak $13.95 sounded tempting, but my DC has her eye on trying one of the hot pots with a larger party in the future. read more

Came here on the whim and tried the napoleon beef (Bo ne) and it's quite a different experience. The beef is sliced thin so don't expect a thick cut or even chunks of beef cube like the Bo loc luc. The beef I got taste good but it did have some veins which made it but chewy. I got rice instead of bread. Hint: don't forget to butter up the beef if you like the buttery flavor of steak. read more

Came here with the family so we ordered quite a few dishes. Their menu is pretty extensive, but here they're known for (and highly advertise) their free-range chicke. Typically it's boiled with skin and bones, and served cold which you dip in a tasty ginger fish sauce. We got the half portion along with goi (vietnamese salad), which was pretty good. We also got the bot chien and nuoc mam wings, both of which were also delicious. For mains, our table got bo ne (sizzling steak dish served with a baguette and fries), pho ga, chicken rice dish, mien ga (noodles with bamboo and chicken soup), and I got the bun mam dac biet. Everything was pretty good, except for the bun mam which was just okay. It came with plenty of seafood and BBQ pork, but the flavor was just flat to me. The staff were all super friendly and working hard. They provide free iced tea which was pretty refreshing. There were lots of tables inside, and mostly viet people eating there which gives you a real sign that we approve =) There was parking in the back, although the school parking lot is not allowed on weekdays during school hours. read more

Omg get the Bo Ne!! This comes out piping hot, sizzling and so delicious. It was beautiful presentation and loved that it came with a baguette and French fries!! This dish is so flavorful, the pate on the bottom with the tender beef, a nice fried egg, and topped with onions an lemon cilantro. I couldn't ask for anything else. Plenty for 2 people and inexpensive for 16$. I also got the rice paper salad. This may be how it's supposed to be? But it was so hard to chew. My jaw started cramping up. I like the concept and the flavor but wouldn't order again bc the texture wasn't good. read more
This Bo Ne really did not disappoint. It comes in large/x large. Wish I got the x large to share instead of trying to finish one on my own because it is A LOT of food. I thought it's an amazing idea to have both bread and fries to dip into their delicious sauce. The pate is so good and the steak is really tender. However, the combination of such a thick and rich sauce with a meaty pate and runny eggs makes it a little too heavy. Maybe the steak could have been less well done/overcooked too. Nonetheless it's such a unique find in Boston and something I recommend trying. read more

This place was DELICIOUS! My bf and I were in the area and stumbled across this place after seeing they served pho which I was in the mood for. The place was packed but we were greeted and seated right away. The staff was very friendly and attentive and overall it gave me a homey vibe. They have an extensive menu with a little bit of everything. I ordered the F2, pho with brisket, flank, tendon strips and beef and it satisfied my pho craving as it had a good amount of meats and the broth had a lot of flavors. My bf ordered the L1- Sizzling Beef (Bo Ne), one of their popular dishes and it was full of flavors and came with a side of fries and bread. On top of the good food, their portions are big and their prices are A1. I was also in the mood for wings and got their salt and pepper wings and they were soooo good. I'm defined returning as there were other dishes I want to try. read more
Saigon Chicken House is located on Adam Street in Dorchester, MA. The restaurant specializes in Vietnamese cuisine. The restaurant replaces Pho So 1 restaurant. Although there is a change in ownership, the new owner kept the original chef from Pho So 1. They also added an extensive chicken menu that they are very proud of. The chicken used are free range and not caged. You can order a variety of rice dishes with steamed chicken, or noodle soup with chicken, and even chicken hot pot. I have tried menu item number 40, bun mang ga goi nap chuoi, which is a rice noodle soup with bamboo served with a side of chicken salad. This dish is great for cold rainy weather. The soup broth is very light while the meat on the chicken salad is tender. The salad has thinly sliced cabbage and banana flower which gives it a crunchy texture. The dressing is sweet and sour. It comes with a ginger fish sauce which you can dip the chicken into to add saltiness. Another popular menu item is Bo Ne or Napoleon beef. This is a very popular dish in Vietnam. It's usually a brunch item but can be eaten any time of the day. Because it is expensive to get good quality beef in Vietnam, you will see minced beef or other variation or cuts of meat in Vietnam. Saigon Chicken House serves this dish up with steak, eggs, pate and a side of French fries and a loaf of bread. You break pieces of the bread and dip it into the egg, pate and sauce. I highly recommend this dish. The restaurant has a private parking lot which fits only a small handful of cars, possibly four. On the weekend and after school let out, you could use the parking lot behind the school. Otherwise, you can look for street parking on Adams street also. The wait staff is extremely knowledgeable friendly. They greet you as you come in. They are also very knowledgeable of the menu. They will take the time to explain to you how a dish is prepared and give you recommendations guaranteeing that you will enjoy the dish. Different waiters checked in with us to see if we were enjoying our food during the meal. The interior is very sleek in design. The tables have a white marble top which gives a nice contrast to the black chairs. They also have booth seatings which looks comfy. Overall very sharp and very clean. See my pictures. read more

Came here specifically for their "Bo Ne" aka "Vietnamese Sizzling Steak" because it's hard to find as not a lot of Vietnamese restaurants offer this item. It comes with two pieces of "steak" which is really just basic slices of beef, an over-easy egg, pate, onions, cilantro and green bell peppers. It's definitely a cool dish as it's brought out on a sizzling platter with french bread. You basically assemble the sandwich yourself - spread the pate on one side of the bread and the runny yolk from the egg on the other side. Unfortunately the sandwich was hard to eat because the "steak" is tough and hard to bite into - I guess they didn't do a thorough job of tenderizing the meat. I would definitely recommend cutting up bite-sized pieces with your knife first...which is kind of lame. The sauce/marinade was WAY too sweet for me. It was like a flavor explosion but not in a good way. It's a cool dish to try but I wouldn't order it again. It also comes with a side of fries? So strange. We really liked the "Oc Len Xao Dua" or snails with coconut cream. You're supposed to be able to suck out the snail from the shell but we were struggling to do that...asked for a few toothpicks to try to pick them out. The coconut cream sauce was delicious. The "Nem Cuon" was just okay to me...the nem or grilled pork was much too thin. For such a thick spring roll with so many veggies and a fried egg roll wrapper it needed a much thicker piece of meat. I did like the crunch I got with each bite though from the fried egg roll wrapper inside the spring roll. The dipping sauce was just alright as well. My date ordered the com tam 4 mau and seemed to like it because he ate the entire thing. read more

I've had my eyes set on this restaurant for quite some time now as it's a Vietnamese restaurant where the main attraction isn't pho like many others around the city. Scrolling through the pictures, it was apparent that their chicken rice dishes and the beef Napoleon are the stars of the restaurant. As this as my first time visiting, those were the two dishes that I tried. Chicken: For this dish, I opted for the dark meat which was $1 more than the white meat option. The chicken comes deboned on top of a mound of rice with what seemed to be some steamed Chinese yu choy, sliced cucumber, and a thick cut tomato. The chicken was topped with a dollop of scallion/ginger, similar to HK bbq places. There's also a cup of soup that came in the side as well. believe it also came with a side of sweet dipping sauce, but not too sure on this as we also got the Napoleon. As far as taste goes, the chicken was actually quite bland. The dish as a whole is reminiscent of the Hainanese chicken rice dishes that you can find in Singaporean restaurants as it has the chicken on top of flavorful rice with a side of soup and dipping sauces. 3/5 for this dish. Beef Napoleon: I actually had a hard time finding this initially as it was the last item on the appetizer menu. This dish consists of cooked tenderized steak (probably from baking soda) in a tomato-esque sauce, a medium cooked egg, some pate, topped with some raw onions, cilantro, green peppers, and a healthy dose of butter on a hot sizzling platter. The dish also comes with a loaf of bread that you'd see used for banh mi sandwiches and French fries. We took chunks of the bread and made mini sandwiches out of all the items on the platter. The sauce on the beef is more on the sweeter side but the star of the show has to be the pate! 5/5 for this dish. All in all, I was pretty satisfied with the meal but the beef Napoleon takes much of the credit. I am actually quite disappointed by the chicken as it is called Chicken House. The restaurant also had an unpleasant smell similar to some Asian grocery stores. Not sure if it's always like that, it definitely not the best when trying to eat. read more

I came here for lunch because I work nearby and wanted to try something new. It wasn't crowded in the location but it took very long for them to make my rice so next time I will call and order ahead of time. The woman at the counter took my order that I pointed at out of the menu, we both saw the price as $10.00 but she somehow rung my order up as $14+ and when I asked her about it she said she had made a mistake but had already swiped my card. She was really nice and maybe this was due to a language barrier but I was a bit annoyed by this. As for the food I ordered a rice that had practically everything in it, all types of meat and veggies. It was really good and had a little tangy after taste. I definitely enjoyed that dish, they provided a soup on the side that was decent and very warm, it was nice to drink after I ate a portion of the rice. I would go here again. read more
