    Bun Bo Hue/ Hue's spicy beef noodle soup
    Mary-Ann L.

    I give this place 4 stars 4 stars for ambiance since the restaurant has good amount of space, well lit. 4 stars for service where they seat you right away. They also give hints of which menu selections were slightly better than others. 4 stars for food variety/menu selection and authenticity in taste; the only reasons why I didn't give 5 stars: - ca phe sua da (iced Vietnamese coffee) wasn't served suggesting way with coffee dripping while you wait and you don't see the condensed milk. It was pre-mixed more like how you get it at boba places! - the caramel fish dish wasn't caramelized enough, it didn't have the deep sweet taste as if it was cooked in a clay pot for hours - the bun bo hue had slices of meat mixed in as if they used the same ingredients for beef pho and just added the bun bo hue broth instead of pho broth. But in the end I finally saw the pig feet/hock part. I saw another customer order the shrimp grilled on sugar cane served with rice paper which you wet in a bowl of water to soften and wrap the shrimp with veggies. That's what I will order next time! I am just slightly disappointed they don't serve banh xeo!!!

    Beef rib pho
    Anny S.

    Didn't to come here because I was told they are known for their beef rib pho that fall off the bone clay pot. Presentation is pretty nice and the restaurant is clean to eat at. Broth was alright, difficult to eat out of the clay pot when you need to mix everything together so I would advise to take out the beef bone, cut it up on a side dish, and then eat it with the pho when you want to enjoy it after putting in the noodles and slice meat into the clay pot. I would rate it 5/10 I could do without next time. Maybe the reg pho taste better. The vermicelli dish was good, I enjoyed the fried tofu skin, I haven't had it like that before. Would I come back here for this again; prob if I am craving it but it wouldn't be my first choice to eat here.

    LOCATION: Small lot for parking and street parking. The space itself is huge! It can fit large groups and there's a separate room for private parties. MENU: Lots of classic Vietnamese dishes and drinks. The menu is quite extensive! FOOD: Pho is solid but their bun rieu is pretty good and highly recommended. SERVICE: Friendly and quick!

    The service was great! We were seated immediately upon coming in. The waitress was very quick with our order and got the food out quickly. The food was delicious and tasted fresh and quality ingredients. The restaurant itself had a modern and clean look with plenty of natural light to fill it. Would definitely recommend!

    bun rieu and pho dac biet

    Pho So 1 is a great addition to Quincy! Super large space, clean, and has a modern interior. They have big tables that are great for family gatherings for lunch or dinner. Also have booth seats and regular four person tables available. I enjoy their Bun Rieu and vermicelli bowls. Their bun rieu has great flavor and portion sizes here are generous. I do like their other location better, in Randolph, but this location is a lot more convenient for me. They have a parking lot available and plenty of street parking on Hancock St & School St.

    Pho Tai- Beef Eye Round Noodle Soup
    Kelly Z.

    Honestly one of the best pho I had. Service is fast and the pho comes hot and steamy! The broth is so flavorful and a bit greasy BUT that's where the flavor comes from. The ambiance is always casual and and chill. A great spot to relax and get a nice bowl of pho now that the weather is getting colder.

    Overall pretty decent Vietnamese food compared to the other ones in Quincy. Viet coffee was a solid 8/10 but definitely could be stronger. Ba me all day baby.

    This is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in Quincy. I've been here twice with large groups with positive experiences. This restaurant is very conveniently located on Hancock Street and has a parking lot right next door that can fit about 20 cars plus street parking. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of tables. There is a private section on the left side of the restaurant that can seat large parties that is partially separated from the rest of the restaurant. Their vermicelli dishes are good, but I find their pho broth to be a bit bland. I recommend the Special Combination Pho or Vermicelli with Shrimp Balls and Grilled Beef. For the pho, you can get the kids to an extra large size. Their menu is very extensive and has about 90 items among their appetizers, special dishes, drinks, soup dishes, and rice dishes. The service here is pretty fast. Usually after we order, the food comes out in 10 minutes or less. The restaurant is very modern inside and has a very clean aesthetic. The bathrooms are clean and they have free Wi-Fi with password. Their prices are on the higher side compared to the traditional Dorchester Vietnamese restaurants, but average for Quincy. The portions were a fair size for the price. Overall, this is one of my go to places for Vietnamese food in Quincy.

    I have had Vietnamese all over the country. Now I'm rating this according to the choices I've had in Mass. Was it the best I've ever had? No. Does it have good flavor? Yes! The pho didn't have the depth I like but the flavors were there and it was pretty good. The soup was great. All food flavor was good and would definitely make this place a regular if I lived a bit closer. Even the egg rolls weren't skimp on the meat! I appreciate that.

    Goi Cuon (Fresh spring rolls)
    Kevino C.

    Delicious, delectable, delightful. The interior was much bigger than expected. Service was good. Food came out quick. Fresh spring rolls (1A. $6.95) were tasty and paired well with the peanut sauce. The vermicelli bowl (76. $16.95) was packed to the top and tasted amazing. So many flavors and so many textures with the crunch of the carrots and daikon with the savory and sweet grilled pork slices and pork meatballs. Overall, a great experience and a great bang for your buck. Left full and satisfied. Definitely would visit again. Highly recommend!

    Pho is pretty good, albeit a bit salty but that's part of the flavor. They serve iced tea as the drinks.

    The old "idle hour"…read more First time ordering pizza from here and it was okay. I think I would prefer to go in next time and grab a bar seat or table and eat in house. We also ordered their Caesar Salad which was good. I do remember this spot before it was Drifters and it was called Idle Hour which I loved so much. But I will say I am excited that a new pizza spot is now in its place. I think my next time that I try this will be physically at the restaurant. My only concern is that it is very loud. It is a great place to go watch sports for sure!

    Grabbed drinks here with a friend on a Saturday night and wow was it busy!…read more There was live music when we first walked in so the ambiance was quite loud... like I could barely hear myself let alone hold a conversation. The place itself was small too so the music really overpowered everything. But once the live music wrapped up the vibes were good! Not too loud that I was screaming over it, but still lively. I got the Heart of Stone which was delicious! Not too sour or sweet, but was definitely a strong cocktail. I had 3/4 of it and I was already feeling it. My friend got an Old Fashioned and she was a big fan! It went down quite smoothly and tasted good too. For $14 a drink, it was a little pricy but honestly I've seen places in Boston charge more. I would recommend coming here to grab drinks but maybe not a spot to catch up because of how loud it was. Would love to try their food as it looked pretty good!

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.

    Oh yes, let's talk Kilroy's... during my visit home, my bestfriend and I were shopping as I…read moreprepared to fly out the next day and decided to do an airport outfit change. LoL. Understanding that we needed our bestie moment, I hopped on Yelp and searched for a "Good Chicken Sandwich" and at the top of the list was Kilroy's. As we were so close we decided to walk over as I could indulge in what the reviews were calling a "must-try!" Kilroy's sits on the side street, however it is super easy to find. The ambiance of the square as a whole puts you in High spirits as the street is lined with local eateries. Upon walking in, the ambiance is super chill and was perfect for bestie time. The design is simple, yet plays on the deep gray of the inside with colored accent lighting. The floor plan is open and presents the high table setup with the black table tops. As it was just us two, and the smaller tables were taken, we decided to sit at the bar. As soon as we were seated we were greeted by the smiling face of MaryKate. MaryKate welcomed us with excitement and truly set the tone for my Kilroy's experience. I told her that it was my first time and I was excited to experience the "5 Star Dive Bar!" We laughed as sge provided us with menus and proceeded to take our drink orders. As an avid Sweet tea drinker, I was hurt that they didn't offer sweet tea, however, MaryKate took a superior customer service approach and told me she could make sure I got my sweet tea... when she arrived back with my drink, her blend of unsweetened tea and simple syrup was spot on and I was in sweet tea bliss!! Scrolling the menu, the sandwich selection made it hard to choose as everything looked amazing. With a good chicken sandwich on the brain, I decided to order The Salem. The Salem consist of Grilled Chicken, Romain, Tomato, Bacon, American Cheese, and Chipotle Mayo on a golden toasted bun. I have One Word...WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!! The grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The chicken was tender, juicy, and had the perfect amount of char on the outside without having compromised the inside. The bacon was meaty and crispy. The level of crisp on the bacon provided as the perfect texture shift as it was layered between the chicken and freshly cut tomato. The chipotle mayo adds a flavor burst that heightens the sandwich and takes it from good to GOOD! However, even with all of that, we count discount the role of the bun. The golden toasted bun seals the deal as the buttery inside glued together all of the flavor profiles, while the soft outside entices you to bite deeper anticipating every layer of the sandwich from top to bottom. Oh yes, this is a chicken sandwich done right. Paired with well seasoned, golden crisp French fries, The Salem is a stand-alone champion as it makes you forget about the fries. LoL! However, the fries are def a main contender in the fight for taste bud attention. Overall, Kilroy's on the Square is my new go-to anytime I'm at my Bestfriends house. The Salem has the sun for now, however, I have my eye on The Wasp for my next visit. . Great food. Great service. Great prices. Great atmosphere. Great experience. Until my best trip to Boston, I'll dream of you, 'The Salem'.
