    Steak Tips and Eggs, Breakfast Sandwich, iced coffee.

    Food was pretty good, very similar to Mckenna's Diner (in Dorchester). It was pretty dead and quiet there, on a Tuesday morning. Service was good. Nothing special, but it was alright!

    Dot Block is the spot! We happened onto this newly opened diner after college move-in and 3 hungry people with different appetites. First, free parking across the street is a GEM in Boston and was important since we were in no mood to hunt for parking. The inside is casual, comfortable and tasteful, making sitting for dining lovely. The menu has a good amount of choices and an excellent variety for different palates. But the reason you're there - the food - ahhmazing! Fresh, hot and an excellent balance of seasonings. The french fries taste like they are cut in-house and the tater tots are on another planet. Sandwiches were hearty and though we needed a little more sauce, the taste was still fantastic. Our server, Makinley, was friendly, accommodating and just wonderful and the overall vibe was inviting so we'll definitely be back!

    this place will take your order, make you wait over half an hour for it, and proceed to serve you cold food. 0 Stars, never again.

    In a world where slow (individual housing units) and mega (like the "Dot Block") gentrification is happening on Dot Ave, this is a relatively new breakfast place on Dot Ave.

    Excellent place for salads and pizza conveniently located within the Common Market food court in…read moreWest Quincy. I went there to get a salad. There are two different ways to order a salad here. The first choice is to order one of their signature salads. There are at least 5 or 6 different signature salads that they make here with set ingredients. The other option is to have them make you a salad with ingredients of your own choosing. You get to pick what type of lettuce you want for your salad and then they let you choose up to four different ingredients for your salad and whatever salad dressing you like. For an extra charge you can also add a protein to your salad such as chicken. There is a huge list of at least 40 possible toppings that you can have them make your salad with. I opted for romaine lettuce topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and broccoli. For a salad dressing I went with the ranch dressing. I really enjoyed the salad. Very delicious. If you are wanting a pizza they have ten or so signature pizzas that they make here or you can create your own by choosing from their list of pizza sauces and cheeses plus up to four toppings from their huge list of different items to build your pizza with. I love that they have so many choices available and part of the fun of eating here is that you get to create either your salad or pizza with so many different choices of toppings. The service is always pleasant here and I've always received my orders quickly. They also have a comfortable dining area in which you can enjoy your meal or you can do takeout. I will certainly be back for more salad.

    Loooove their hot honey pizza! Ordered it 3 times in one week. Their salads are good too- but order…read moredressing on the side (mine had too much dressing on it/was way too salty).

    Its a mom's and pop's shop. I think both servers are their children and are very nice people…read more(including the owner)! I don't think the prices on their menu are justified for the big portions they serve! Yes, they give plentiful ingredients for lower than standard menu price compared to my local area. I don't go to Dorchester often, so I am not sure if the other Vietnamese restaurants within its vicinity have similar price range. But this restaurant is definitely worth checking it out as it has a decent selection to order. I had Bun Bo Hue and my friend had #75 Crab Noodle Soup with Water Spinach. Bun Bo Hue was not spicy, was on the sweeter side, but it was flavorful! They provided me a saucer of chilly oil to adjust spicy level to my liking. #75 was good as well and like I stated it had plenty ingredients (at an affordable price)! If you are looking for modern or intimate atmosphere, this is not it! If you are okay with old school look and closer to homemade food, go for this one!

    This place clearly has a lot of Vietnamese clientele, which means you know it's going to be good…read more The service and ambiance were great. We were surrounded by a lot of Vietnamese people who were all having a good time. We had the bun bo hue and the bun mam dac biet. The portion size for the price was astounding. I couldn't finish my soup and had to take it home. The broths for both dishes were amazing! If you love spicy beefy soups, go for the bun bo hue. If you like fermented seafood broths with a lot of seafood, go for the bun mam dac biet. The quantity of seafood in the latter was astounding. If you love blood cakes, you will get a ton of those in the bun bo hue. All in all, I loved going to this place and would visit again. You should give this place a visit.
