The proteins were incredibly tasty and tender. I didn't get to try the cocktails but they looked pretty fun. They also had child seats available.

Tried the (newly added?) dinnertime blue crab with noodles and was delighted by the texture and portion. sea salt shaker and cortada are very good coffees and great mouthfeel. Amazing ambiance and very nice staff. hope to try the banh mi some day! also, if planning to come late at night -- they stop seating at 9:30 pm!

Delicious coffee, super cute space, and refreshing food…read more It's a bus yourself restaurant with an unassuming outdoor space in the back for additional seating. They generally require you to order before sitting given the small space so keep that in mind when you arrive. Service is friendly and very quick. Their food is delicious and refreshing, however I'd say the star of the show is their coffee. I really enjoyed the Saigon latte especially paired with the DELICIOUS pastry. Definitely want to come back to try their dinner menu!

It's a limited menu, compared to their Assembly location (not sure if it's limited on weekdays or…read morenot). Ordered the grilled pork rice plate and it was ok. Pork was a little dry. Portion size was a bit small for the price. It's a small location, so the space echoes easily.

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!!!

My true rating would be a 3.5/3.75. Great option if you're looking for a quick, casual meal in…read moreBoston. 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.

The menu is limited so there's not a lot of options. I did enjoy Mushroom Noodles and my friend liked the Seafood Festival Noodles. The dishes itself were large, vibrantly colored, with lots of flavor profiles and ingredients. The two entrees were good and had potential but ultimately not authentic enough. Service was fantastic and the hostess/waitress took great care of us! I would definitely give this place another try and order more of their popular items. To note, the two tables outside the dining area are also dog friendly!

Similar to Saigon BabyIon, I thought they did a great job at selecting the right dishes for the season. There were a mix of lighter more refreshing dishes as well as heartier ones which felt right for the end of summer/start of fall. The hot dishes (esp the soup) came out piping hot, while the cold dishes came out cold which I thought was a nice contrast and made everything seem very fresh. I look forward to returning soon!

I had the pho sate, and while it was huge spicy bowl of soup and noodles, it did not really taste like pho to me. It was lacking the beefy depth of flavor and it was heavy handed on the cinnamon / clove aromatics. All of the beef was quite chewy and the noodles broke apart easily, so unfortunately I didn't finish the bowl. Service was nice and very prompt, and the space is a cozy no frills home, but I wouldn't come back here for pho.
