Being Vietnamese ourselves, we have high expectations because nothing beats home-cooked. We were shoook Hot tea was herbal and soothing. It wasn't jasmine or green tea. I didn't ask if they offered it. I liked it. We ordered the Bun Bo Hue ($25) and the Beef Vermicelli Bowl ($22). BBH broth was delicious and had a lot of meat. I added a few scoops of chili oil, a squirt of hoisin, lime, and some basil. The Beef Vermicelli Bowl was very refreshing. Usually, this dish is served with fish sauce elsewhere, but here they use a soy sauce mixture they make themselves. My mom had never tried this version before and loved it! Both dishes were fillinggg we were stuffed to the max. The owner/head chef, Alina, came over to see how things were tasting and we were chatting it up a bit. She told us this is her second restaurant, first being in NYC. It's advertised on the menu that they don't use MSG. Their BBH also didn't have pork knuckle (giò heo) or pork blood (huyết). She makes cleaner versions of Vietnamese cuisine and serves everything fresh. After our meal, we had flan for dessert, in which we learned is also made in house! Perfect way to end our night. We will definitely be coming back here and bringing our friends and family! Việt Nam muôn đời

Royale Kitchen & Bar opened recently on Broadway, across the street from Revere City Hall. Formerly…read moreRincon Limeno, the space was remodeled (new painted center ceiling), redecorated, and rearranged a bit with most of the same tables and chairs from the previous place and the overhead lighting fixtures and flooring are the same as before. This Vietnamese restaurant & bar serves up a selection of pho soup bowls, noodle & rice dishes, banh mi, and appetizers. I stopped in at Royale Kitchen & Bar very recently for dinner and was seated at a high top near the front window. I ordered the Grilled Shrimp Pho ($20 plus tax) since they did not have my first choice House Fried Fish Cake Pho. A plate of bean sprouts, cilantro, & jalapeños was brought out first for the soup. The big bowl of pho arrived very hot, which had wide rice noodles, 8 grilled shrimp with tails & cleaned, mixed of greens in an oily hearty broth. There are chili paste on the table to add to the soup. The flavors of the soup and tender grilled shrimp were good, especially on a single digit evening outside. I finished only half of the hot soup before requesting a plastic container for the rest. After I was all set, the server brought over a Toast handheld unit for card payment. A 15 percent off soft opening discount was applied bringing the total to $18.19 with tax and before tip. Also, the receipt indicated that this pho restaurant is affiliated with Pho 99 in Queens (Rego Park), NY, which has a similar menu as Royale Kitchen.

They always play nice, calming instrumental music. Not the fanciest place I've ever been to, but a great option for good Vietnamese food. Their beef pho broth leans a bit more on the cinnamon side and perfumes the broth with a nice, deep flavor. Bun/noodle bowls, rice plates, fresh spring rolls - you can't go wrong. Their chao tom/shrimp paste is also tasty and a nice, light protein. Best part? This place makes durian shakes. I recognize this is not what most people are into, but for those who are, they make a good one and I love not having to go far for it.

Even with a steady flow of customers, the service was efficient, and we were in and out fairly quickly without ever feeling rushed.

I had the pho sate, and while it was huge spicy bowl of soup and noodles, it did not really taste like pho to me. It was lacking the beefy depth of flavor and it was heavy handed on the cinnamon / clove aromatics.

Service was nice and very prompt, and the space is a cozy no frills home, but I wouldn't come back here for pho.

Quan Pho in Saugus sadly disappointed on all fronts, despite the considerable social media hype…read more The menu is already very limited, yet they had already run out of several items despite our party arriving right at opening hour. The food itself was mediocre; the meat was tough rather than tender, and the overall flavor profile was unmemorable. The fresh spring rolls had a cute presentation but were not traditional in any sense, while the fried spring rolls had an off-putting odor that made them completely unedible. Its also very pricey for what the quality is. The physical environment was also quite uncomfortable. While the decor is cute, the floors were noticeably wet and slippery, and the space lacked air conditioning or fans on a day when temperatures approached 100°F. The sole positive note was the service; the waitress was attentive, consistently checking on the table and kept water glasses filled.
