I seriously miss this place and would come here every week if it was down the street from me! This spot is such a hidden gem, we loved every item we ordered from here! This is the first Vietnamese Restaurant I've seen in Boston to serve Mi Quang and DAMN was it FRICKEN GOOD! The egg noodles were just chewy enough and the sauce and broth were such a good complement to one another that this may just be my favorite Viet dishWe also ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Pho Special) and the broth tasted so pure, it was just simply fantastic. In addition, we also ordered beef summer rolls which were pretty great too. The restaurant itself seems family owned since it seemed like many locals were walking in and also chatting with the owner. It's about small-medium sized inside, but definitely can still fit a good number of tables. Waiter was very kind and made sure our table felt cared for despite all the tables he had to take care of himself! Can't wait to come back again!What we ordered:- Mi Quang (A MUST)- Pho Dac Biet (Pho Special)- Beef Summer Rolls

First off, this is a family owned business which I always try to support. When we walked in on Saturday dinner time, there was no one there which we knew we were in trouble. Staff was the family members and were super friendly and nice. Food on the other hand was bad. We ordered 5 items and only one was decent.

Came here for dinner on a weekend and was seated immediately. After we waited 15+ min, someone finally came over to take our order and then it took them over an hour for our appetizer and entrees to come out (the restaurant was not busy, only 4 tables including us). I got the crispy egg noodle with beef and I highly do not recommend this. The noodles tasted like it sat out all day and was refried before serving and the broccoli was over cooked. The Nem nuong cuon and banh Xeo was good so I'll give this place 2 stars for that.

We got a big take-out order one time, mainly because we wanted to try their Mì quảng. Being a Vietnamese, this dish is simply my favorite, so far I have not gotten good luck finding any places that could replicate the authentic taste of this infamous noodle dish. This place is no exception. Food was overall ok, their Cơm 4 màu (Broken Rice with Pork chop, Egg, Vietnamese Spam, and shredded pork skin) was surprisingly good, if you're local, give this dish a try!

I come here every week since they took over Hien Vương. The food is delicious and well- prepared. The place is clean and organized. The owner is super sweet and friendlyYou may feel a little off with the waitress, because of mis- communication ; but she’s truly sweet and funny . She has worked in the restaurant industry for 20+ years.Will def talk to anyone I know about this charming spot for Viet foods

Vegetarian pho was very tasty and the vegetarian spring rolls were surprisingly filling.

It’s just OK. Service was good. But the broth is really bland (no smell of spices, no umami) and did not taste like something cooked with beef and beef bones. Beef briskets are thick and obviously pre-cooked instead of cooking with pouring the broth in. Not considerable amount of protein, but they are giving a lot of bean sprouts. Might be a good dish for some but this does not meet my expectations as an Asian.

Food is just so so.-bánh xèo : not as crispy (ton of bean sprouts inside with some sliced porks and shrimps mixed in with the flour); the vegies come with it are just sad (couple romaine lettuce leaves and a bunch of broken mints)- canh bún: soup base is not as sour or flavorful like canh bún should be, it is more of "canh cà chua" lacking tamarinds seasonings; toppings are shabby (mộc is tasteless, chả is too soft and almost broken so I think it's being soaked in the soup for a while, riêu is just ew, tofu is just tofu, I like it the most in the toppings option lists tho)In my opinion, these 2 dishes should not be highlighted on the restaurant's window

Really great food and very nice people. We ordered many things in our group and everything was good.
