    B2 - Banh Mi Bo Nuong (Grilled Beef Banh Mi)
    John A.

    It's exciting to find a phenomenal banh mi place south of Boston. If you are still discovering the world of banh mi, like I am, I am finding that the family forward places are offering food with more depth of flavor. This place was no exception. My bánh mì bò nướng had the right amount of heat, crusty/pillowy bread and nice crunch on the vegetables. I am told that the bread is made on premises so freshness should be (and was that day) nearly guaranteed. As seems to be an unspoken standard, the sandwich was made with lightning speed. Unfortunately for me, I was hungry, so I didn't savor as much as I wanted to (not quite a Son Goku but more like a Yogi with a freshly baked pie). Ruminate on that one as you head to Banh Mi Boston for some great delights....

    Bread so hard you can't even bite into it.

    Bread is so hard to bite into!!! I just picked up a cold cut and couldn't even bite into the whole sandwich. The inside was good but what a waste for $8. If you come here make sure the bread is fresh.

    With so many banh mi spots popping up everywhere due to trends, banh mi Boston takes the "favorite" spot on my list. For some odd reason, my stomach cannot handle most banh mi's sold in and around Boston. I love a good banh mi but after one or two bites, I get sick to my stomach - almost like clock work, every, single, time. Not sure if it's the msg or additives or what but I was about to give up on enjoying banh mi's unless I made it at home. Enter Banh Mi Boston - a banh mi shop that looks standard but tastes homemade and is definitely made with love. Banh mi Boston banh mi tastes homemade and definitely does not give me a stomachache or induces an msg coma. With vegetarian, pescatarian, and omnivore options - you can certainly find a banh mi catered to you here. Everyone gets the standard cold cut sandwich and that is a deliciously safe choice. But if you're feeling adventurous, the beef sandwich and fish cake sandwich is even more of a flavor bomb! They also sell traditional viet dishes that are worth a try - my favorite is the banh beo (mochi like rice paddies with mungbean, shrimp dust, and scallions with fish sauce dipping sauce) and the bot chien (fried rice cake with egg omlette and pickled veggies). The egg rolls are delicious and aromatic as well. They also sell traditional snacks and to go meals. My favorite of those dishes is the sticky rice with steamed pork and sausage slices tossed in a sweet soy sauce. Just old school comfort food. The shop is always spotless and service is always so friendly. The shop owner is so sweet and polite. She's in the works of opening a second location in downtown boston in the food court and plans to extend her menu to noodle soups too! Can't wait!

    First time getting banh mi in Boston and, coming from San Jose, the bar is high for viet food. I was really excited to see bot chien on the menu, since it's not a super well known dish! Ordered through Yelp's online ordering and it was ready for pickup within 5 minutes. Parking is street parking only but took less than 2 minutes to find a spot on a Saturday afternoon. All the food was pretty good! i do wish the sauce for the bot chien were a bit stronger, and that they put Maggie sauce on the banh mi like most places on the west coast do, but it definitely satisfied my cravings!

    Freshly made banh mi loaded with fresh ingredients. Super good! We tried the cold cuts, bbq pork and bbq beef. They were even good the next day lightly toasted in the oven.

    Needed a new local bahn mi shop for a quick and cheap lunch and Banh Mi Boston was exactly what I was looking for. I got the grilled pork sandwich which had nice crunchy cuts of fatty pork. The bread was fresh and the veggie toppings were tangy with the pickled veggies and spicy with the jalapeños. At $5.50 per sandwich, you won't find a better value. I also tried a few prepared items in the fridge. The pork rice wrap rolls were fresh and tasty. The shredded pork and rice made a nice reheated lunch the next day for $3. Sandwiches are made in front of you ala Subway. No need to order ahead as they are fast and efficient. Highly recommend visiting if you are in Quincy.

    Great Banh mi and friendly service. We came on a late Sunday afternoon so a lot of the other snacks/desserts were gone. We got Banh mi thit nguoi and Banh mi heo nuong (they ran out of Bo nuong). I personally love toasting up my Banh mi to eat later in the day, or the next day. It has great flavors and a good amount of meat in both. There are 2-3 small tables and bar seating (3 chairs). They don't have any take out menus at this time.

    Saw this spot a couple days ago after heading home from the gym and knew we had to try it. First impression when walking in, cleanness and coziness. It's a small Vietnamese sub shop with other varieties to pick from. Took a glimpse through their menu and saw bun Bo hue. I will definitely try it next time! I settled for the traditional banh mi which is banh mi thit nguoi. Their baguette is really fresh and crispy! Portion and size was perfect. It's a must try! Will come back and try the rest of their menu! Another addition to this review , the staff is super nice! I'm assuming they're the owners of the shop. Great hospitality!

    Menu with new prices

    Super nice people working there and yummy dishes! Lots of hot soup dishes and sandwiches to choose from. Prices weren't too bad. Give this place a try!

    This is the most disappointing place I've ever been to. The taste and texture of bang mi were awful! It was my first and last time visiting. I will never return. I ordered the bbq pork bank mi, but there was barely any meat, and it was very salty and dried. Almost like chewy hard jerky meat. The bread was also not fresh. It's not worth the $7 dollar value

We walked into a dining room that felt upscale without being overly formal, the kind of space that works equally well for a casual dinner or a special occasion. The interior had a sleek, modern design with stylish décor and a lively yet comfortable ambiance that made it feel more like a destination restaurant than a quick neighborhood meal. The energy of the room stayed polished and inviting, and the layout encouraged lingering over a meal rather than rushing through it. The food is what makes Lê Madeline stand out. We ordered a few items and found signature dishes like the crawfish noodles, bánh khọt, shaking beef, and wagyu pho showcasing a more elevated take on classic Vietnamese flavors. The presentations were carefully done, and many of the dishes felt designed to be shared, with each plate arriving well composed and thoughtfully arranged. The crawfish noodles had a rich, savory depth that came through clearly, and the shaking beef was tender and well seasoned, with a good char that added texture. The wagyu pho brought a premium twist to the traditional bowl, with the broth clean and aromatic and the meat adding a richer, more indulgent layer. The restaurant also offered creative desserts, including crème brûlée and avocado cheesecake, which made it easy to finish the meal on a high note. While some dishes could be hit or miss depending on what we ordered, the menu offered enough variety to encourage trying something new. We came during a special tasting event and it did not disappoint. It was good food, though for the price tag, may not have been satisfying to all. The atmosphere adds a lot to the overall experience. The interior has a modern design with stylish décor and a lively yet comfortable ambiance that works well for date nights, celebrations, or gathering with friends. It feels more like a destination restaurant than a quick neighborhood meal, and the polished setting complements the presentation of the food. Service was friendly and attentive during our visit, and the staff were happy to answer questions about the menu. Since many dishes are unique interpretations of Vietnamese cuisine, having recommendations can make the experience more enjoyable. Reservations are also worth considering during busy evenings or weekends, especially if you are planning to celebrate a special occasion. Overall, Lê Madeline offers a more upscale take on Vietnamese dining that focuses on creative flavors, thoughtful presentation, and an inviting atmosphere. It is a great choice for special events, date nights, or anyone looking to experience Vietnamese cuisine in a more modern setting while still enjoying dishes that feel both familiar and inventive.

We were lucky to snag the last lobster roll--which essentially not using butter but an Asian twist with scallions and ginger oil. That was like a "why didn't I think of that" association since ginger and scallions are usually used as a wok fried combo w lobsters at a Chinese restaurant. But good thinking on the part of the chef to use the flavored oil instead. The crawfish noddles and other dishes were good. But what impressed us the most was actually the pho. The stock was spot on and makes one want to return just for the pho alone. Service was excellent. The place is smaller but they decorated it nicely and maximized space usage.

The gentleman who helped us was welcoming, offered us tea, and got our table ready right away. It seemed like they were a bit short-staffed, as service started off slow. We ordered the shrimp fresh rolls, which were very fresh and tasty. The fried rolls were also delicious--the pork was moist and flavorful. The eye round pho had a flavorful broth, but the chicken pho was bland and almost sweet. Someone else at the table tried it and mentioned it tasted slightly like seafood. Both rice plates we ordered had very flavorful meat. The last dish we tried (not pictured) was the vermicelli combo bowl with a fried roll, chopped pork, and grilled shrimp, which was really tasty. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar boba. It wasn't very sweet, and while that may appeal to some, I personally wished it were sweeter. The boba pearls were a mix of hard and chewy, which took away from the drink. The gentleman who assisted us was very attentive and even suggested how to dip the meat in different sauces to make it more flavorful. He was really attentive and kind. Overall, I'd rate our experience a 3 out of 5. It was decent, but I'm not sure I'd be in a rush to return.
