    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!

    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!

    First timer! Been wanting to come since I read Chef Nguyen was a James Beard finalist…read more So, let me say that the food is awesome--a bit pricey, but so fresh and interesting! My only issue is how tightly they pack the tables--you literally couldn't share a secret with your date without flanking tables hearing you. If I'd have known, I'd have asked to sit at the bar, which would have been more intimate (so four stars, but food is the bomb). Definitely make reservations--there will be a line at 8 pm. The speakers played 80s hip hop. The place is lively to say the least. We had the duck salad, mussels (ask for an extra order of charred bread WHEN you order--needed to sop up the delicious sauce). It took 15 minutes for extra bread when I realized the two pieces weren't enough. We also tried the beef cheek fried rice, short rib (amazing) and the crawfish noodles. The rice and noodles had fish roe throughout which made for a delightful mouth feel. My date had the lychee martini. I had the lychee mocktail, which was delicious. For dessert, we shared a slice of avocado cheesecake! Odd but totally delicious with a cookie-like crust and ribbon of brown butter buttercream. Chef's kiss all around. Loved our server, but even she apologized for abandoning us for a bit. The place was slammed!

The hummus is like a deconstructed Vietnamese sandwich that packs a punch of flavor. The bread is grilled nicely and you'll definitely want more bread to use up the hummus. The crawfish noodles is a must order. Really enjoyed the perfectly cooked noodles with amazing flavor. The turmeric coconut pancakes is a normal dish you wrap with the lettuce and dip in fish sauce. The shaking beef is marinated well with loads of vegetables.

We even inquired about their chili crisp (so addicting) and they were kind enough to answer. Above and beyond! Space is 5 stars too. Plenty of seating in the front (bright and airy) and a quiet area at the back (dark and cozy). You don't feel rushed with your meal. Food was a 3.5-4. Ca Phe Kem Pho Mai (Vietnamese coffee with salted foam) was delicious. Strong coffee with a sweet and salty taste. I could've eaten the foam with a spoon. The salmon toast wasn't bad but I would make a couple of changes (1) reduce the cream cheese - it looks good/aesthetic but overwhelms the flavor (2) sub the avocado paste to fresh avocado, it had a funny taste. The cookie dough croissant was good but the outer cover was too crispy, it didn't have the flakiness of a croissant. I also wish they would have some other substitutions for their banh mi like chicken or shrimp or tofu. Hopefully someday!

Secondly, they served the rice without fish sauce for my daughter! After waiting for a while, we asked for it and the waitress completely forgot. Thirdly, I mentioned at least 3 times about Thai bubble tea!! After a while, taro bubble tea was served to us! Even if the waitress was new, I have seen at other places where a more tenured staff would be with the new one during training to ensure smooth experience with the customers. It was not busy and there were a lot of waiters standing in the back so I am not sure where the mishaps came from 2) Food: at a pho restaurant, it is extremely hard to go wrong with pho! It is fundamental! Especially when we only asked for a kid pho (which is just broth and noodle)! The pho came out with the noodle clumped up, and when my daughter started eating it, the noodle was still hard (it means it was not cooked enough) The manager was very welcoming when we first came in, which signal to me they do care about their business. Unfortunately with the experience today, I will likely not come back!

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.
