    Chicken Pho with Chili Oil added
    Maria V.

    A little on the pricier side for the portion amount, but still rating 5 stars because I loved my experience here. It's calm, clean. I came in on a Sunday night so the service was very attentive. Their background playlist fit the ambiance perfectly. My pho tasted great, and the selections on the remainder of the menu looked plentiful! If the prices were a little more reasonable, I'd probably come back more often! But I enjoyed my $17 chicken pho and still would recommend.

    Was in the area shopping for winter wears and saw this place. Restaurant is very nice looking inside. That caught our attention so we decided to stop in for dinner. The staffs were very friendly. We ordered the followings: - Pho Bowl (Portion was good. Broth very tasty, meat was good) - Bánh Khọt (We loved this appetizer. Crunchy, the shrimp was fresh. This goes well with the dipping sauce) - Grilled Chicken Rice Plate (Chicken was soft and flavorful) - Grilled Beef Fine Vermicelli (Beef was tasty and tender. Goes perfectly with the Fine Vermicelli) We had a great dining experience. Food was good, ambience was nice. Glad we stopped by. Recommend it if you are in the area.

    Wanted to love this place, and it was nice, the service was GREAT... I just wasnt overwhelmed with the foods... Also, I went over a week ago and the tip (on my card) still hasnt charged me and the name that my bank charged against wasnt the name of the location - sketchy to me, but Im all over it! The rolls were bland, I need mint, Basil, Something... It was just meh! The pho was great, my gf stated the portion was small, The wok beef, OMFG it was GOOD, the veggies and flavor was what saved this place. Everything else was just ok. The Vermicelli bowl was good but the noodles were too cooked and super mushy!!! The vibe is cute, and the prices werent bad, just wasnt wow'd!

    Really like the ambiance of this place. The interior is very inviting and clean. Staff was attentive. The food is really good and really fresh. The grilled beef was awesome. It may be my favorite dish here. You can't go wrong if you want to eat some food that doesn't sit heavy, especially on a hot day. The flavors are wonderful. The drinks are very refreshing as well. I will return to this place.

    It's pretty good what can I say. $19 for the meal, nice cozy ambience plenty of seatings. Parking is tough. Was quickly served. Came with a group of 5 and had no trouble being seated on a Friday evening. I enjoyed the sheet of vermicelli noodles and thought the portion was a good size.

    SALMON - CLAYPOT
    Apex S.

    Lunch was fantastic. Everyone in our party enjoyed their lunch entree. While some got pho or grilled shrimp, I got the clay pot salmon. The salmon was delectably cooked, very tender. The sauce in the dish was very umami flavored and went well with the side of steamed broken rice. Even though I finished 70% of my meal, I wanted the leftovers because it was too good to go to waste! The ambarella juice was a great accompaniment. It has a sweet, sour, tangy taste. I have never tasted the raw fruit but the juice got me curious. Ambiance was bright and airy and service was attentive and quick. In fact, it came as a surprise when the staff offered to box my leftovers as I was asking them for a to-go container. They did forget to include my rice but when I went back to ask, they quickly found it. Overall, I'll say even though I only tried one dish here it was so good that I'd like to be back to eat just that again!

    Delicious find at Assembly Row! A welcome addition to the fairly culinarily narrow Assembly, and a good one at that. The interior is spacious, high ceilings and fashionable decor. The food is tasty (especially the vermicelli bowls and pho, the broth is so delicious and fresh), and price? Honestly totally fair for the location and quality of food. Waiters were attentive, I think my husband and I have found our go to Vietnamese restaurant in the Somerville area!

    My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant! A Nam is a must try and adds diversity and touch of flavor to the Assembly Row area. They serve authentic Vietnamese cuisine and is in a great location. There is plenty of parking in the garage or lot close by and central to several shops. The restaurant is extremely clean and has a modern, fresh, bright and airy vibe to it. Perfect spot for a bite to eat with friends or a date night. Service is always quick and friendly. I got the Beef Pho and it came out hot and fresh. You get a side of bean sprouts and lime along with condiments on the side to spice up the soup. I also got the egg-rolls and it was crispy and tasty. The sugar cane juice is my go to drink. I'll definitely be back!

    Món ăn rất ngon.. Gd hana rất thích ... thanks Yummy so much .. không gian đẹp đồ ăn chất lượng!!

    Pho tai
    Rebecca X.

    Cute Vietnamese place in Assembly Square, definitely more polished and modern than what I'm used to. That's reflected in the prices and menu too. My usual pho dac biet was not on the menu, nor was bun bo hue; instead it seemed like they only included dishes that would be more widely "palatable" to the general public. The cheapest pho bowl was also 18 or 19 bucks which is pretty steep. We got spring rolls, chicken skewers, and pho -- specifically I got pho tai. Spring rolls and the skewers were great, no complaints. They were presented very prettily and tasted fresh and flavorful. The beef in my pho was excellent, super tender and fresh. I got the fresh rice noodles which were a 1 dollar surcharge, and they were nice but perhaps toooo soft? I think I would have preferred regular noodles, but that's not the fault of An Nam. The pho broth itself was a little off for me. There was a distinct strong savory aroma that overpowered the flavors of the spices which made me think they added a ton of MSG. Now I am actually a fan of MSG but it was too much in this case. I didn't feel the need to add any hoisin sauce or Sriracha though, so that's a plus. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and I think An Nam would scratch the pho itch if you lived nearby, but I would still prefer the pho places in Dorchester. I would say the pho was 3.5/5, apps were 5/5, so overall I'd give it a 4 ish.

    Second time here and it was just as delicious! They have a moderate amount of seating and we were seated immediately, which was perfect for a quick lunch. The service was a little slower but the staff were very friendly and thoughtful. We ordered a variety of dishes, but I think I enjoyed their skewer platter the most! This platter consisted of various meats soaked in a yummy marinade and grilled to perfection. The meat was chewy, sweet, and super tasty. I also enjoyed their pho, perfectly portioned for one. I wish there were a couple more topping in this pho, but it was still a nice and easy meal that I really liked. I will happily come back again if I'm in the area!

    A little on the more expensive side for Vietnamese food, but on par with what you would expect for Assembly Square. I tried to clay pot catfish with came with a bowl of rice to accompany it and it was great - only slightly annoying because of the fish bones. Portion was filling enough for me. Restaurant itself is bright and open and clean.

    Beef Noodle: 10/10 Beef Stew: 9/10 Pork Vermicelli: 7/10 Crispy Egg Rolls: 7/10 This restaurant is located in Assembly Row so you have plenty of free 3 hr parking options! The interior is so clean and cute. I was skeptical when I first looked at the menu because the price of their dishes were a bit more expensive than other Vietnamese restaurants that I frequent, however the soups blew me away! My first visit I ordered the beef noodle that comes with egg noodles. The broth is so flavorful and rich, and the beef shank falls right off the bone. Loved every bit of this soup and even took home leftovers. My second visit I ordered the beef stew and was equally surprised by how flavorful and rich the soup base is. I also had this soup with egg noodles, which I usually prefer over vermicelli because it doesn't get soggy as quickly. There's plenty of meat in the soup and I also took home leftovers The crispy egg rolls were yummy too but in general I'm not a huge fan of egg rolls. There's a good amount of meat in the rolls. My friend for the pork vermicelli bowl. One comment she had was that the noodles were still warm. Not sure if that's how it should be, but at other restaurants, the noodles usually are not warm. The noodle texture was also softer than expected. However the flavors of the pork really stand out and overall this dish was also pretty good! I will be back to try their pho soups!

    Super happy to have a banh mi spot that isn't so far into Boston!…read more Super yummy flavor in the banh mis, my boyfriend loves the grilled pork and I love the cold cuts. The grilled beef skewers are also super good. I love the thai tea here as well. Would definitely keep coming back!!!

    I have friends who tell me, "You could just make those spring rolls yourself, you know..."…read more Lies. (I've tried. They tasted like sadness.) The ones from Banh Mi Cafe are enormous, sooo fresh, and exactly what I wish mine tasted like. Both the fish sauce and the peanut sauce are excellent, and when I need to bring something to a summer potluck but don't have time to cook, I just order six orders of spring rolls and suddenly everyone at the potluck is happy. Their Vietnamese iced coffee is also absolute jet fuel. It's my go-to whenever I need to work a late night. But the reason I'll always be loyal to Banh Mi Café has nothing to do with the food. ::IT'S STORYTIME:: One evening I developed an absolutely irrational craving for their avocado smoothie with boba. I spent the whole day thinking about it, finally placed an online order, and then got a phone call saying they had just run out. They apologized and offered a replacement or a refund. Instead, I asked them a weird question: "I know this is kind of crazy...but if you'll have avocado again on Saturday, could you just make this exact order then instead, and I'll come pick it up?" To my surprise, they said yes. A couple of days later, I picked up my avocado smoothie, my fresh spring rolls, and went home happy. Maybe it was more work than it was worth for the employee, maybe it wasn't; either way, they took an odd request seriously, and that's the kind of customer service that sticks with you. Beyond the spring rolls, I've also really enjoyed the nem chua, the cold cut banh mi (I wish the bread were a little softer, but the condiments and veggies are excellent), and the grilled beef wrapped in betel leaves, which I hadn't tried before and now LOVE. I still have a growing list of desserts to work through, including the flan. One thing to know before you go, regarding ambiance: this is more of a grab-and-go spot, not somewhere to settle in for lunch. There are only a few bar seats, so I almost always take my food with me, sometimes to the nearby park. There are plenty of Vietnamese restaurants around Boston, and while I'll always happily try new ones, Banh Mi Cafe has earned my loyalty, one avocado smoothie at a time.

    I wish I have a picture to show but we ate it way too fast!!!…read more Pho Viet is an absolute go to. 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.
