We visited on a Saturday afternoon with a party of six, and the restaurant was pretty busy. We waited about five minutes to be seated. The gentleman who helped us was welcoming, offered us tea, and got our table ready right away. It seemed like they were a bit short-staffed, as service started off slow. We ordered the shrimp fresh rolls, which were very fresh and tasty. The fried rolls were also delicious--the pork was moist and flavorful. The eye round pho had a flavorful broth, but the chicken pho was bland and almost sweet. Someone else at the table tried it and mentioned it tasted slightly like seafood. Both rice plates we ordered had very flavorful meat. The last dish we tried (not pictured) was the vermicelli combo bowl with a fried roll, chopped pork, and grilled shrimp, which was really tasty. For drinks, we ordered the brown sugar boba. It wasn't very sweet, and while that may appeal to some, I personally wished it were sweeter. The boba pearls were a mix of hard and chewy, which took away from the drink. The gentleman who assisted us was very attentive and even suggested how to dip the meat in different sauces to make it more flavorful. He was really attentive and kind. Overall, I'd rate our experience a 3 out of 5. It was decent, but I'm not sure I'd be in a rush to return. read more

I'm a pretty tough critic when it comes to pho, but this place was legit! My friend and I started off with the Handcrafted Spring Rolls, which hit the spot. I'm pretty much a fan of anything with peanut sauce. We both got pho for our main dishes, which were delicious. I had the Round steak & beef meatballs PHO, which was awesome, with the two types of meat. My friend enjoyed her Vegetables and Tofu Pho. The restaurant was pretty nice for a casual restaurant. What I remember most was the waiter was super chatty, possibly more so than any other restaurant I've been to in the Boston area! read more

First time trying this Vietnamese restaurant and it didn't disappoint. Ganh pho was good. Spring rolls with beef and shrimp was also good. Our favorite was the combination plate that came with pork chops, which was flavorful. The sandwich with beef was good too. My least favorite was the bun with beef. It was still good but not as good as the above dishes. Would come back again. Only negative was they don't do phone orders. Tried calling on the phone and it didn't work so forced to order online, but they were timely and packaged everything to go fairly well so will def go again in the future! read more

I would say 4 rating but leaving a 5 stahhh because the service was indeed Pho-nomenal like another yelper had said. The owner (whom I presume is the owner) was SUPER inviting and always has suggestions. Glad his beautiful establishment is on the south shore we need more spots like this. We ordered the pork chop rice plate and the pork rib / 3 protein pho. Now how i would describe i is a "healthier" version of the dish in taste, others may think it's a tad on the lighter/blander side for the broth compared to home cooked or other competitors. Meat was fall off the bone tender. They have a house blend fish sauce and accommodating side dips per dish. He'll let you know the best way to eat the dish if you're not sure. The rice dish, the porkchop was massive and cooked perfectly! Enjoyed it very much! My rice (i should have probably opted for the broken rice but i chose regular white rice, which I believe was older rice, a bit clumpy/hard. The side soup pairs well with the dish so i appreciate that a lot. They also brought us tea which was perfect on a rainy day! Overall I'll definitely be back. Different take, i appreciate the lighter style of viet cooking, but many probably know it for its bold flavors. Pricing is on the higher end of the spectrum but you do get your portions worth for the money. Viet food i believe should cost more compared to some of their counterpart asian cuisines! Beautiful dishes should get the spot light. read more

Had a little to swing by a local pho place. Kind of my thing and see how the cooking is different in parts of USA. Overall it was pretty good. I got the beef special which came out hot. Broth flavoring was good. Met my expectation. Service was good. read more

Ganh Pho - Special Combo Beef Pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Braintree, Massachusetts

After so many of our favorite Vietnamese restaurants closed, we've found it super hard to find one that really hits the spot. We decided to see if there were any we haven't tried yet and ended up visiting Ganh Pho for a quick lunch. Ganh Pho in Braintree has a bunch of authentic dishes you'd typically find at most Vietnamese spots, like pho, bun bo hue, banh mi, rice plates, and vermicelli bowls but they definitely put a lil twist to it here. The restaurant itself is modern & got a cozy feel inside. Something that I thought was cool was that they offer a create-your-own option for pho & banh mi. I originally wanted to try the Ganh Pho bowl, which is essentially Pho Dac Biet but with pork ribs ($30). When ordering, the owner suggested I try a custom pho bowl with yellow egg noodles, brisket, beef ribs, shrimp, and bok choy ($26?). And that if I didn't like it, it would be on the house hahaha. I was convinced to try it & he told me to specifically eat the shrimp w/ the pickled onions it came with on the side & dip the meat in the sate sauce along w/ some hoisin. It was definitely a different experience and something that I would typically make & eat at home. Flavors are light but well balanced... not necessarily a bad thing! If you like your food more flavorful, then this might not be for you. The pho broth did not have much depth and would've probably tasted richer if we came for dinner. I personally enjoyed the meal because I do tend to enjoy lighter flavors, so definitely a preference thing. We also ordered the pork chop rice plate & similar to the CYO Pho, it was much lighter in flavor compared to other Vietnamese restaurants around but still thought it was tasty. Light in flavor and I would say, tastes healthy & we felt GOOD after finishing eating! None of the food felt heavy at all, so I enjoyed it. Prices are a little steep, again compared to other Vietnamese restaurants around but we were satisfied with our meal, so not so bad. The service was also very good! Super attentive, helpful, & gave good suggestions on what we should order. Complimentary tea too! This was more of a 4 star for food but because of the service, we will give it a 5. Parking: free parking lot in the back! read more

As people keep saying on this place, Pho-nomenal! The rib Pho is amazing. A generous serving with a tasty broth and plenty of protein. I wish that they had more items on their menu, but honestly, they do this best, so keep going at it! We also had the spring rolls with the Pho and they were equally tasty, and it was great to have a fresh option aside the soup. I am looking forward to visiting again, while I am an hour away, it isn't that far away! read more

Nice atmosphere and great food, I would recommend coming here again, as I have been here almost five times even though it's like a 30 minute drive! read more

Stopped in after a very long drive into MA ravenous and craving something warm. Service was very friendly and the menu had all the Vietnamese specialties you're used to. I went with the bun bo hue, which was good but not my favorite. I think I am spoiled back home, but maybe I should have ordered the pho to get a more accurate read on the place. read more

Pho-nomenal service but food was pretty subpar. The broth was very light and not your typical pho broth that you find in other Vietnamese restaurants. The Thai tea was not good at all so I recommend avoiding. The service was great though and the person kept checking in with us. read more

Such a cute and cozy Vietnamese restaurant located in Braintree! Ganh Pho is perfect for if you want to sit down and enjoy a meal but also if you want to grab something to go. I love how it's set up; their counter is built for a quick take out order with tables in the back for a typical dine-in experience. I got their rice with grilled pork which came with a side of soup. Their soup was delicious -- super rich and flavorful, but not too heavy at the same time. Their grilled pork was good as well, but the nuoc cham (their house fish sauce) was terrific to pair with the meat. The pork was a little dry but overall very tasty. I would come back for their pho since I thought their soup was so good! I can imagine that their pho broth is probably just as good. Parking is a breeze here since they have their own lot. I recommend giving Ganh Pho a try for some good Viet food! Although a bit pricier than other Viet places, it's worth giving them a taste. read more

I've seen this place on social media and always wanted to try this place. This past weekend was my time! We were in the area and decided to try it. There is plenty of street parking outside, and this place is not far from the South Shore mall. The restaurant is clean and there is one gentleman that operates the dining area and handles take out orders. He is super friendly and checks in on you to ensure all is well throughout your stay. The menu is pretty limited but you're coming to this place for pho. They have a special one called Ganh Pho, and this $25 bowl of pho comes with 2 tender pieces of beef ribs! We ordered 3 bowls. The ribs are cooked perfectly and are easy to eat - just grab the bone and go at it. The portion size is good with lots of noodles and other meats. The broth comes out hot and has good flavor. The flavor is not over powering, but just right for this dish. Everything that you need is already at the table - sauces, chop sticks, napkins. The guy also brews hot tea at the front counter and he is quick to give refills without you asking. The restaurant is clean and there were about 11 tables inside. The area is pretty open so I'd imagine that if they had to, they could rearrange things to accommodate larger groups (with appropriate planning). The menu is not huge, but I did see the traditional rice plate with pork chops, and fresh/fried rolls available as well. There are some drink offerings, too. If you're a pho lover and you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by and get the signature Ganh Pho! You'll love it. I can't wait to go back. read more

The Best Pho ever!! My friend and I went there last week and loved it so much that we had to go back this week. We both ordered the spring rolls and they are FRESh and really tasty! We loved the peanut sauce that comes with it. I ordered the special combo pho with brisket, tripe, and steak. It was delicious!! It came with a side of pickled onions and it's so good! My friend prdered a bah min with pork and she loved it. We both ordered the same thing on both of our visits because we just loved it that much. The portion are generous and did I say delicious already? The gentleman who waited on us (I think the owner) is the nicest guy. He's ver very attentive! This restaurant has become my favorite place to eat!! I just left there today and I can't wait to go back! read more

The restaurant have an inviting vibe and the server was attentive and welcoming. I got the ganh pho bowl and it was huge. The broth could use more star anise and cinnamon though. The beef brisket was a little chewy but the meatballs and tripe were tender. They are generous with the bean sprouts, jalapeño and herbs. Also got Vietnamese iced coffee that was a little too sweet for my taste. Plenty of parking in the back and front street parking. read more

Tried other Pho in Quincy, Framingham and Brookline and this tops them all. Will be returning read more

The server was incredibly nice to us and attentive. I got the beef back rib pho, which I really enjoyed and was a nice change of pace from the typical pho that I get. The spring roll that we got was good as well. It wasn't busy on a holiday weekend during dinner hours, so it was nice and quiet. This is a solid place and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in the area. read more

The pho and banh mi were both delicious! A little on the pricier side than other restaurants for the more or less same size but still a really tasty meal. My banh mi was a little on the saltier side but the pho was very yummy. Next time I will definitely get the pho again, it was so tasty and comforting. I also LOVED the cilantro on both dishes. The biggest factor for the five stars was the service. Our waiter went above and beyond for us which turned this casual lunch into such a pleasant memory. My boyfriend got the pho and it's part of my girlfriend duties to always steal a little bit of his food, our waiter noticed me taking sips and immediately brought over a second bowl for easier sharing. Our water was always full and he would check in sometimes to make sure we didn't need anything else. The service was such a pleasant addition to the Braintree day. read more

Amazing pho and those rib bones are so delicious, packed with great flavors. We ordered the pho combo #5 that automatically came with 2 good size rib-bones and what felt like unlimited beef (slices, brisket, tripe, tendon, meatball). I kept scooping to see if I had more meat and sure enough, they just kept popping up. Usually I finish the meat before the noodles, but not the case here. Highly recommend Ganh Pho to any pho lover, good service and clean environment. read more

We don't get down this way very often, but this is a definite stop every time. Food is fantastic and the owner is wonderful.

Just delicious. You'll pay a bit more but it's worth it. The bun/vermicelli with a heaping amount of grilled chicken comes with pickled red onions & jalapeños...plus the veggies. So tasty. As was the beef banh mi ... served with sliced avocado. Super friendly manager-owner. Will be back. read more

It was pretty decent food but wasn't mind blowing. I ordered the Banh Mi with Grilled Pork, Spring Roll with Shrimp and Pork, and Avocado Smoothie. Not going to lie, the Spring Roll was extremely average. It didn't taste horrible, but it was a lot worse in comparison to the other spring rolls I've had in the past. The Banh Mi was pretty good and flavorful! And the Avocado Smoothie was pretty good too but that seems difficult to mess up. Not sure if I got an accurate representation of Ganh Pho based on my order. Would love to come back in the future to try other items on the menu! read more

We got takeout from this restaurant. I ordered Bun Rieu #23, a pho-like soup with shrimp, crabmeat, fried tofu, noodles, mint leaves, sprouts. The wife got Grilled Chicken #39 (chicken, rice, carrots, cukes). What I got was overpriced and not very good. The Bun Rieu was supposed to be a little spicy, but was quite bland. It also came with just two small shrimp and the "crab" was fake crabmeat. The Grilled Chicken was much better value, tasty and adequate size portion. Got a vietnamese coffee with that, slightly overpriced. read more

This broth is straight up dreamy. I've eaten at many, many Pho restaurants and this is easily one of the best in Massachusetts/ New England. Normally I order a Dac Biet in the largest size available as a gold standard; seeing the flagship here - Ganh Pho Bowl (essentially a Dac Biet with two large ribs), I went all in and was very impressed.. Also had a Mango Smoothie that was delicious and refreshing. Service was excellent and was kindly given a suggestion on how to best utilize the dipping saucer for hoisin and sriracha; dipping the meat separately out of the soup, and adding the pickled onions with the meat. Not to get all sentimental but DAMN, the flavor of the broth nearly brought tears to my eyes.. I have not felt compelled to write a yelp review in a super long time but felt it was an injustice that their yelp rating isn't much higher! 5 Stars from this foodie/self-proclaimed Pho Aficionado... read more
