Very calm and relaxing place and the food was really good here and the staff were really nice

If it's not a corona casualty, it might be one from recession. Have been going to Pho O Sha at least once a month for over a year now. It was greatly praised by my colleagues and the office park/building for their comforting and soothing variety of Thai and Vietnamese food. A long held favorite, this place has had numerous great reviews and local articles praising the restaurant. However, I noticed in the past year the quality and quantity has been declining. It could be due to Covid and the costs incurred during lockdown or maybe the recession but Pho O Sha's decline has been more noticeable and getting a bit harder to support them as a small business. The once flavor packed, generous portions of noodles and soups have nearly halved and kept at the same price. My favorite Dac Biet has decreased by half and what is considered a "normal" size bowl at typical pho shops are nearly half the amount now but same price and the broth a bit watered down. The pad see yew has less protein and noodles, filled with majority vegetables (not bad but the dish is noodles, not stir fried veggies). It's clear they are trying to drum up business with cleaning up their brick and mortar a bit and also serving alcohol. But the cost for small portions and lacking quality has all but made my colleagues and I just to go to Chipotle or McDonald's as there if you spend $11-12 for a meal, you won't need to supplement your lunch with a snack. I think this will be my last time ordering from them for a while as I'm not sure I can justify $13-14 for a small/light lunch portion. read more

This place is amazing. Have been coming here for 2+ years and everyone who I have introduced to it has loved it. Pad thai is the best I have ever had, Tom yum is amazing (and the other Pho I have tried). You cannot beat the serving size. I recommend the fresh spring rolls and Roti (scallion pancakes) as apps. read more

This place definitely doesn't disappoint the palate. I can't wait to try more items on their menu.

Very nice and comfy restaurant staffs are very nice. They offer variety of food from Vietnamese and Thai. They do have Thai beer which definitely goes very well with their food. read more

I used to come here a lot because I lived and worked very close by. I liked the food and service was usually great for me. I have been there since before the menu included Japanese fusion options (and also before the renaming to Pho O-Sha). However, one day I went there with a few coworkers and there was a small bug on the table as we were about to order the food. This wasn't too big of a deal to us at first, but when we told the server about this, he tried to shoo it away and unintentionally uncovered a BUNCH of them hiding under the blinds next to our table. They all scrambled, but not before we realized that they were baby cockroaches. After this we could not eat and left immediately. I'm saddened by this because I used to eat there so often, and just can't get over the fact that this happened. read more

Environment: we sat near the kitchen. Kind of a disaster. Plates were not clean Food: I ordered a pho dac biet. There weren't a lot of meat. Better to go to a real Vietnamese restaurant. Had to asked for basil and bean sprout. Don't waste your time read more

I absolutely love the crab Rangoon here. The food is always good, although after ordering each one of their curry dishes I'm pretty sure they are all exactly the same. read more

This place was amazing! We had a lunch meeting at our office, and reached out to see if they would cater as this is a local lunch favorite. And it was amazing! The service, and helpfulness of the staff was great to help us plan a variety of options for our colleagues. And everyone loved the food! We will definitely be using them again! read more

One of the best bun bo hue I've had. Top three. If you've never had bun bo hue, have it, and if you're gonna have it then get one of the good ones. read more

Great great great food! Our waiter Pete was so kind to us and the food was so good. They also gave us this desert free with mayos and rice and it was also very good. My meal was a spicy duck with noodles and let me tell you, that was some great duck. Highly recommended! read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would! They recently delivered me the wrong order and were super rude about it as if it were my fault. They then told me they would remake my food and get it to me in another 45 minutes (I had already waited close to an hour for the wrong order). The delivery company called me apologizing and said they would refund me. Shortly after the restaurant called me saying they wouldn't give me my order unless I repaid... I've worked in restaurants before and it's a given that the customer is always right, ESPECIALLY when you mess up the customers order. As if this wasn't bad enough, I tried to pick at the food from the wrong order since I was hungry and had given up on trying to order elsewhere since it was late and that food gave me food poisoning. This place is just awful, food and service wise. read more

Food great, however my review is based solely on cleanliness. I'm nervous about what I can't see because what I can is dirty, dusty, yuck. The window sill where I sat was filthy and had a few dead moths laying there. Please give some care and wipe them down. There is no need for this. The outside looks so unpleasant that you barely want to walk in here. Parking is next to nothing, there is the horrible smell of rotting garbage because the dumpster is in your face when you park. There are old ass Christmas lights or something hanging outside. Come on! Spruce it up a bit! Get rid of those stupid donation boxes in your lot too. There is almost always trash around them. This place is a dump! read more

This place is one of my go to Friday night dinners because of the hospitality and the AMAZING food. They have the best customer service that I have ever had, and their food is easily has some of the best pho I have ever had. I came and they were packed with people and since I was waiting they gave me a free drink because slow service. (This rarely happens) then another time when they forgot a spring roll the owner personally came to our house and delivered our food along with a complimentary dessert. the dessert was mango sticky rice and it was the best I have had in a long time. If you are ever thinking of going here or for pizza there is a clear winner. (Pho O Sha) read more

No nonsense Thai restaurant that I love to get pho at! I'm sure the rest of the menu is awesome but I have only had their pho and I love it. What more can I say - the pho is great and they're super nice folks. read more

The quality of pho is terrible. It tastes just like fast food purchased from a cheap supermarket. I won't try it again.

I've ordered from here a few different times. Their food is pretty good and definitely authentic, but typically I've enjoyed the appetiser more than the main course. My favourite is their garlic chive dumplings! read more

Brand new ownership. Very friendly atmosphere and good food. A lot of selection on the menu. read more

This place is Vietnamese and Thai! My husband tried their Pho and he absolutely loved it. And I tried vegetables with their curry coconut sauce. It was so rich and tasty. Our server was very smiley, helpful and nice attitude . Big Thanks to the owner and the staff. read more

Ordered Basil Fried Rice, Steamed Vegi Dumplings and Drunken Noodles. I love their Drunken Noodles and the vegetables in Drunken Noodles sauce are too good. Other 2 are also good. I order frequently, occasionally I don't like it. read more

I have gone here many times. It has good pho, and great apps all at a reasonable price.

Such a chilly day today and was in the mood for Pho. I came across Pho O Sha's menu with all my other "to-go menus" and went on there website to check it out. I downloaded the Pho-O-Sha ChowNow app to order online, and my first order was 20% off. The app is great and was so quick and easy to set up an account. You can choose a time you'd like to come in and pickup your order, and the app alerts you when it's ready. I ordered the Tom Yum Noodle Pho with white rice noodles, and for $2.00 more mixed veggies (broccoli, string beans & carrots). I also ordered a Roti appetizer, an Asian style scallion pancake with green curry sauce. Both excellent choices!!!! Oh, next time I'm ordering the Pho ***Spicy, it came as **Medium Spicy which was good but I like spice! I did ask for the chili oil which I added to the soup and Roti. So I go pickup my order and drove by the place, as the parking lot was empty and thought entrance was in the other side. I was a little skeptical walking in to pickup my order, as no one was in there but the two guys working there. It was a Sunday at 6pm and freezings cold out. So obviously jumped to a conclusion. They had my order ready and asked for my name. I mentioned that I really didn't know you guys were here, but I must have driven by as they are right off Arsenal and corner of School St right next to the Shell Station. They were both very nice and gave me my chili oil to go. I will definitely be back in the near future! read more

Decided that I'd give this place a try since i always drive past it. This was my second time ever having pho. I ordered take out. Just as someone before me said, they separate your broth, meat, sauce & veggies when you order pho to-go. I got the P11 - Mi Wonton and it was so good. It was so fresh and really hit the spot. I wish they had given more hoisin sauce or could've made it spicy! I also had the Thai iced tea which was a bit too sweet for my liking & the egg rolls which were okay. For the price and the convenience I will definitely go there again and try more things! read more

Was really craving pho so decided to go for it and order delivery (during "quarantine"), and it did not disappoint! Great food and very friendly and fast delivery! Definitely a new go-to and can't wait to go in person when we can. read more

I liked this restaurant; it's no longer selling sushi but the Thai and Vietnamese choices are excellent. Service is friendly although needs a little improvement in the area of making sure all utensils come with shareable dishes. Duck pho was excellent. Fried calamari needs less batter and more squid; side sauces do not need to be cleared when apps are consumed. Pork dishes also excellent - take home duck and pork tasty after 3 days in the fridge! read more

Ordered fried vegi dumplings for appetizers, very tasty.As main dish ordered duck with rice.Rice cooked perfectly, and the duck also.The service is good. Nice place, clean tables. read more

Pho O-Sha is a well-run spot with delicious food. The owner is super friendly. The server (Mali) is also attentive and kind. I recommend the yellow curry. read more

I'm not sure about how there place is inside as far as a sit down Restaurant, but I get delivery all the time and Get bo ben hue extra beef probably spelling that wrong. Love that dish extra spicy with a lot of beef ! Look forward to it any time I'm sick or it's freezing out read more

Really like this place. I've enjoyed pretty much everything I have ever got from here. Great Pho and the sesame beef is one of the best Asian dishes I have ever had. Friendly staff, very quick. Only gotten takeout so don't have experience eating in. read more

My friend and I ordered pho and after we were done eating, we asked for extra broth to go. Instead of bringing us broth to go, the server brought us broth in bowls. She had trouble reaching the table when placing plates down throughout the dinner, so I continuously helped her. This time, she placed the bowl in my hands without saying anything. The broth was boiling hot and spilled all over me. Instead of apologizing or giving me ice, the server said nothing. I ran to the bathroom and had to ask my friend to ask the restaurant for ice. I ended up having to go to the emergency room because I got a second degree burn. I still have a scar today. Extremely unprofessional and poor service. read more

I'm surprised to see poor reviews! This place is amazing! Have only had their delivery, but it's been great every time. They have a vegan pho option that I absolutely LOVE! And I really like how they separate the ingredients of the pho (the broth, from the noodles and veggies) so that it's at its peak of freshness when you're able to toss it all together in the comfort of your home. read more

A hidden gem on Arsenal Street. The girl and I went here on a rainy Friday night. We are avid fans of pho soup we are always looking for new spots. This just happened to come up on my most recent search and figured we would give it a try. The girl of course started with crab Rangoon's and I began with chicken satay. The satay with some of the most tender I have had in a while you could tell that I was marinated the right way. The girl loved the crab Rangoon's. The broth was deep and flavorful you really could taste the different levels that I slow simmer broth done the right way can bring out. These are just the kind of places I look for. The Decour and overall aesthetics of this place will not blow you away and you do not need a tux to go in. You also do not need a deep wallet. What you should have is a good appetite and a desire to explore the menu. Please give this place a try they are new and are certainly looking to make a name for themselves we will be back. read more

Excellent!! So friendly and fast service. Many different choices of Pho. As good as any I've had. First time trying wonton pho and it was delicious. And the shrimp dumpling to start was fresh and came out immediately and hot. Will return! read more

On my first visit, I was warmly greeted by the owner. He noticed that I was waiting for my friend to arrive. Within a few minutes, he delivered a delicious appetizer gratis! Happily, the food and service were outstanding. I will definitely go again, and soon. read more

This place has the best Pad Thai that I've had in the Boston metro area (and I've had it at a lot of places)!! Prasat and his restaurant are top notch. Great service and great food at a great price. Highly recommend!! read more

ordered medium spicy green curry--perfectly sweet and spicy...killer food all around

I went with my daughter and I ordered noodle bowl with tofu and my daughter ordered some vegetarian dish (I don't remember what the name of the dish was). The dish did come in a bowl, but oh boy the taste! None. Cold noodles were in one corner of the bowl, some bean sprout thing in another corner and topped with stale tofu that tested like it was fried in a month old oil. It was rancid. I returned the food so did my daughter after trying to eat a few bites. The total bill was $18.01. I paid but didn't leave a single penny for a tip. I came home and made pasta because my stomach was rumbling. read more

I ordered delivery from here through uber eats. The food came quickly and was hot. I got the wonton soup, which had excellent flavor and four delicious dumplings. I also got the yellow curry and was impressed! I ordered a side of rice, not knowing that rice comes with the curry. A little extra rice is never a bad thing! read more

I love this place! A gem in Watertown. I've ordered take out for lunch several times, and I've also brought friends here for dinner. One time I couldn't come and pick up my food because my car battery died, and they remade it for me the next day, free of charge! Definitely not going to stop coming here any time soon. The food is delicious and they're very friendly! The pho is good, but their basil fried rice is the best I've ever had. Also a huge fan of the Kao Kra Pow and Kao Moo Kratiem. Don't miss out on the jasmine lemonade either. 10/10 delicious. read more
