I loved my meal here their vermicelli is so special it comes with other toppings/sides that regular vermicelli does not have! I also ordered the Vietnamese coffee with ube foam and it’s so good, their coffee is also stronger and “thicker” than other Vietnamese coffee I’ve had! The owner was also so kind he paid attention to our food and was so nice ?

Amazing food and super fast service! It was quiet for a Friday night, but that just made our service quicker. We’ll be going back for the spring rolls and pho.Parking: Small parking lot in the back with ~12 spots

Large portions for a very wide variety of Vietnamese dishes AND drinks for a pretty good price, which is hard to find around boston. Definitely got enticed by the ube foam viet coffee which is a must try!! Service was a bit slow even though it wasn’t too busy but the food was worth the wait!

Don't expect too much out of the service here. The food is pretty good. They have the best Bun Rieu in the Boston Area that I've tried; but still missing a little shrimp paste. The soft shelled crab dish was also really good. The banh xeo claimed to have whole shrimps, but I didn't see any in my batter. I paired all this with a yoghurt drink. If you don't like sour yoghurt drinks, it wouldn't be for you. They "have" parking in the back. Maybe I was unlucky, but it looks like their lot was full because some relatives or close friends were singing karaoke in the back. Good luck with street parking.

Really good variety of Vietnamese dishes! I got the steamed rice cake with pork rind, crepes, and pho. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. Very yummy drinks too! Our group got penny wort drink, Thai tea, and Vietnamese egg coffee. Staff was also super friendly

2 star because one of the staff was friendly, i honestly think they acquire this place with little to zero experience. I was hesitant on even going but my gf from out of town saw a tiktok post and wanted to try it so i caved. we had 2 small soup the banh beo and the banh hoi dac biet - it was mid; the portion was skimpy; and for that price point.. it was NOT worth it. the drink however was good, we got the salted seafoam coffee and the orange peach lemongrass tea. we spent alittle over 100$ we both agree to only come back for the drink and the food was not worth it. so.. we did came back and ordered the drink togo and when we order the same drink the girl had NO idea what we was talking about, we even showed her a picture of when we was there and what the drink look like. we ended up receiving a regular peach tea and a regular Vietnamese coffee. overall, never coming back.

Everything was tasty to delicious, but nowhere did I see prices listed, and I was surprised at my total, but in final analysis only the entre seemed high for the value. More rice than veg or meat and what Guestimate to be $24 still seems high.The 4 crispy rolls were delicious, the 8 wings tasty, the large cans of boba tea also yummy. That entre was delicious, veg and meat both.If the prices were openly listed my surprise would not had been an issue.tl;dr: good, but a bit pricey, or perhaps not?

Pretty good general Vietnamese restaurant; I can see a lot of criticism in the reviews being levied at the waiting time, which is admittedly a little slow, but it's not a sling-pho-at-you kind of noodle joint, and the staff are pleasant people. Food is pretty good in general, I enjoyed the duck blood and tripe noodle soup. Definitely appreciate how they stay open later, makes it a good place for local workers.

I’ve tried many of the Vietnamese restaurants in dorchester, and they have the best peanut sauce, meatballs, and really generous portions. Their pho broth is also phenomenal!

A very decent spot since the closing of Anh Hong. The service can be spotty depending on who is working. Last time I came, I had a waitress that seemed to be very confused and was getting our orders wrong. Thankfully, the managers were very kind to us and fix it right away with no issue. The space is large and comfy as well. It didn't seem like the back section was open yet but there was plenty of space in the front area.As for food, so far so good! They had a rice pudding appetizer dish I've never tried before and I think I am now addicted, I will probably be getting it every time i visit from now on. It's soft and chewy and the savory seasonings on top was a great combo. I also had their 7 course beef meal (also my first time trying) and it was great! A large portion was more than enough for my group of 5. They provide plenty of vegetables and wraps and came to check in on us in case we had any questions. The butter beef and beef porridge were my favorites. Excited to come back and try other menu items!
