Fantastic, well coordinated service and the food was wonderful, each time I went. They offer a variety of spicy noodles and noodle soups, all of which are served steaming hot and delicious. Fried rice and noodles, although fried, were never greasy. As a person with a sensitive stomach, I got to really enjoy my food with no unpleasant consequences. Crab Rangoons are probably the best I've ever had!Vegetarian options: Available and yummy.Parking: Nope. It's Newbury St, baby.Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible by wheelchair. You need to go down the stairs to even enter the restaurant and there is no elevator.

If you're expecting authentic Vietnamese food, this is not the place for you.I thought this restaurant was authentic but was thrown off when I saw the menu included pad thai and red green curries. I guess it is a thai and vietnamese fusion restaurant?We ordered the chicken vermicelli bowl and tom yum pad thai. Both dishes were on the smaller portion side and definitely lacking chicken. The flavor was ok...lots of fish sauce so hard to mess that up.

My favorite spot for Pho Thai in Boston. Their broth is superbly seasoned and fragrant and the rare steak is shaved super thin for awesome taste and texture. Can’t be beat! Staff is also very friendly and attentive.

Amazing pho - broth has stronger notes of cinnamon & star anise than other pho I’ve had before, but it’s not overwhelming at all. Pho also comes out quickly, definitely less than 10 minutes after ordering. Servers are attentive, friendly, & especially smiley.

Absolutely delicious! Had the crispy chicken pad tai a while ago and I think it was only $13 or $15 for it? Totally worth the price because I ordered take out and it came with so much! Definitely need to come back again for more. They reeled me in with the pad tai and now I need to try their pho!

Absolutely amazing service, pretty quick too. The food is absolutely amazing. I will have to come again for the PHO. I got the shrimp pad thai and I haven't tasted pad thai this amazing in a very long time. I also got the fresh roll and the shrimp papaya salad. Fresh roll was delicious and the salad was sweet and savory with a great bite. I highly recommend this little place.Also I got the thai iced tea, if you have never tried it, you definitely need to. I like that they didn't over do it with the cream and sugar. It was perfectly done. Definitely travels well too so if you want to take one to go, I recommend.

If you are from the UK and you know the Giggling Squid , well , this place is 10 times better and better value for money to boot. (And I love the Giggling Squid!) We had Tom Yum Pho, Honey Chicken, Pho Ga chicken noodle soup and Crispy Chicken and fried rice . All of them were delicious at the equivalent of around £10-£12 per head. Wish we had found this on our first night in Boston so we could have been twice. Cannot recommend highly enough. Really fresh and authentic food.

Had a great experience! The service was really nice and the food was pretty filling. I got the grilled pork bom and it was the perfect weather to eat some cold noodles. There are a lot of different meat options for the bom so if you are vegan or vegetarian, I think there's options for that too.

Perhaps I didn’t order the best options, the pictures in other reviews look so good. I got the crispy chicken pad Thai and crab rangoons. It’s not the worst, but I’ve definitely had better.

Taste like some unusual herbs in the pho soup, but I loved it. The sauce for shrimp roll was terrific, reminded me of Beijing Duck, or even better
Great value, quick made to order and pleasant staff. Nice outdoor seating too. Chicken snd beef skewers and the Tom yum soup with shrimp was particularly delicious. Had the salmon curry and the rice was delicious not dry at all. 5/5!

Food is affordable and the serving is good portion. I ordered Chicken Satay expecting to get just 2 skewers like other places around here but got 4 instead. My seafood noodle soup is yummy. Service is fast.

Horrible service. Unauthentic Pho. Don't go there if you want good service and authentic Vietnamese food.

I love Pad Thai, so I decided to drop in for lunch. The service was quick and friendly and I like there small outdoor dining area. The Pad Thai was just alright. I remember having Pad Thai years ago at a festival and since then I've been hooked. This one didn't give me that sensation and I've had better elsewhere. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 6. It wouldn't stop me from coming back here, as I imagine they make other dishes better.
