    Pho Rare Steak Soup (raw beef)
    Tony H.

    Delightful Vietnamese restaurant in Coolidge Corner! There is metered street parking in front of the restaurant, and it is very close to the Coolidge Corner T stop. The inside of the restaurant felt cozy, and the waitstaff were courteous. There were a lot of options on the menu, but I had to go for the Rare Steak Pho ($13.50 for a large bowl). The broth was a little watery by itself, but it becomes very flavorful after you add all of the condiments and veggies. Would recommend whenever the pho craving hits!

    Was in town for work and found this very yummy place! Highly recommend going and checking this place out! My PHO was so good and rich and tasty! The crab ragoon was also so yummy. Very fast and quick service.

    Lemongrass Pho Satay Soup
    Hursuong V.

    Looks very much like a 90s restaurant that has not been updated but a warm bowl of pho sure hits the spot when it's cold! I got the satay pho bowl (forgot the full name) and the warmth and spiciness of the broth was so cozy, I finished all of it! The small bowl was the perfect size for one very hungry person - the large or XL bowls are good for 1.5 very hungry persons. Great prices too ($10-12 per bowl). Their crab rangoons were also delicious with a hearty filling that had imitation crab, cream cheese, and scallions. Their menu looks like there are a lot of interesting things to try, particularly in the drinks and desserts section. Not too busy inside with some light instrumental music in the background. Metered street parking.

    Beef pho!

    Loved this place. Very friendly staff. I had 5 glass of wine with my pho. It came SUPER hot and was very flavorful! This is my go to when Im on the way out of town to the airport!

    Roti Quail
    Justina B.

    I'm definitely a fan, but there are some things I'd do differently. My order: Roti Quail, Thai iced tea. Note: I ordered on Door Dash. The Thai iced tea hit every spot imaginable. It was packaged with care (extra plastic bag around it). It was a nice portion, and really a textbook beverage. The roti quail was also flavourtown. I thought it was a little "wet" for something roasted, but i'm not complaining- it was still tasty. I'd eat here again, only it was a little messy. (not recommended to eat near a computer).

    Mango Fruity Smoothie
    Julia T.

    Ambiance very classy. I felt like I was at an Italian restaurant for a second lol the iced Vietnam coffee was delicious. The fruit smoothies were very very sweet, delicious but sweet so keep that in mind. The vermicelli Pattie's were interesting, it came with rice paper to wrap it like spring rolls which was fun. The chicken was delicious with it. The pho noodles were a bit thicker than I'm used to but it was good. The shrimp spring rolls were ok.

    This is not the place to go to if you want actual Pho. There was a poorly cut up cucumber and tomato, overcooked noodles, and no jalapeños offered.

    Explain to me HOW this is $30 worth of food? I'm blown away. $3 to sub egg noodles. Cmon bro. I've never even written a review, this is crazy.

    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.

The only thing I'd say is that this is a bit pricier than some of the other Vietnamese places I've been to, but it's definitely a place I'll be back to often. Beef Pho ($15.95) - The broth here is great - so nice and savory. You can tell that it simmers for a really long time to get all of that flavor from the bones. It has a bit of a sweet note to it as well which is a bit more than I'm used to, but I really liked it still. There was a good amount of meat, and the whole soup experience was great, especially for takeout. They did skimp on the bean sprouts and herbs with takeout though - it was a pretty small amount of veggies, but still a really solid pho. Banh Mi ($9.75) - Yes, the price is a bit high for this one as well but the size was HUGE. The pickled veggies were perfectly sweet and tart, and the cilantro added a nice freshness with the cucumbers. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the balance of flavors here was really spot on. And, like I said, it was HUGE. Definitely not the cheapest Vietnamese food I've had, but also absolutely delicious - I will be back!
