Nice atmosphere, decent food, very quick service! My friend and I came here on a weekday afternoon for lunch and it was super busy. It must have been a lunch rush though because after a little while it cleared out super fast. Thankfully we were able to snag the last high top table available. We didn't have to wait long at all for our food. We ordered the pork and veggie egg rolls and pho. The egg rolls were really yummy, they had a great crunch and overall flavor, and I liked that it came with extra veggies and noodles on the side. The pho was good but definitely not the best I've ever had. Somehow I forgot to take a picture! But it was a very decent size, which I appreciated considering the price...Perfect for a cold, gloomy, winter day. I would say there are definitely better pho places in boston, and especially in Dorchester, but overall it was a decent spot for the location. read more

Pho Viet's - Egg rolls - very delicious! - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Liked it but didn't love it. Probably a 3.5 in terms of taste but 4 overall. The place is nice and clean looking, which is a huge upgrade from their Super 88 days. The concept is pretty much self service. You order at the register, they bring you the food, and then you take your empty dishes into the bin by the door. Unfortunately I only saw bottled water for purchase, disposable utensils, and no condiments on display but I guess this cuts on cost! I ordered the tofu banh mi and the seafood pho, the sandwich was okay - not as flavorful as I'd like and the bread wasn't the freshest, and the pho did not come with the standard basil / lime / beansprouts nor the sriracha and hoisin sauce combo. I'm not sure if you have to ask, but I could not flag anyone down in time so I ate it as is. Prices are decent for where you're at, but I was expecting a little more in terms of portion. read more

The sub sandwich was delicious. The best I've had in the MA area. Better than Chinatown, and better than Dorchester

wha da phaaaaa the broth is legit. i'm happy to have finally stopped by. i got the pho with everything in it. great portions of protein, noodles, and soup. it's heavenly. i'll definitely be back to try other things. parking is street, there's both free and meter spots. read more

Best Vietnamese food in Boston -- we love their food so much. They catered our son's 1st birthday and everything was perfect. So many people raved about the food, and their team is terrific to work with. Would definitely recommend -- our favorites are egg rolls, pho, banh mi. read more

In my opinion PhonViet has the tastiest Bahn Mi in the area!!!! Great value for price. The spring rolls are great too:)

Great little spot for some awesome banh mi sandwiches. There isn't a ton of room for seating, but our party of three was able to grab a table right away. It seems like they do a lot of carry-out business. Definitely a thumbs-up! read more

came in today for the chef special tofu, tomato, seafood noodle soup and it was so so yummy. the broth had a mild seafood flavor and I loved the thick chewy noodles. friend got curry chicken which had such a rich and deep flavor. service was really good today too!!! read more

Pho Viet's didn't really exceed my expectations. The way people told me about this restaurant made me think it was among the elite pho restaurants, but I thought it was just decent. We ordered seafood pho, lemongrass pork chop with rice and milk tea. They use single use utensils and plates, which is something they haven't changed since COVID began. Service was quick and there was a 5 minute wait time. It's usually pretty busy but people are in and out quickly. Pho Pasteur and Le's are much better than Pho Viet's. read more

Ordered the pork banh mi and it was SO GOOD!! The contrast between the sweet radish and savory pork is perfect. The portions are also very generous -- this was all I ordered for dinner and I was very full after. The staff is also very nice and helpful and the wait for our food was not long at all. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back myself!! read more

Pho Viet's - Pork Banh Mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The bun bo hue or spicy beef noodle soup is amazing! It is the best rendition of the soup that I've had from a restaurant! So flavorful and delicious with lots of meat. I haven't tried the pho but my boyfriend said it is his second favorite after Pho Hoa in Dorchester. With that said, the portions are huge and we left super satisfied and full. The beef banh mi is also a winner, highly recommend! My few gripes are that this place serves their food with disposable, one-use soup spoons and chopsticks, which are flimsy and hard to eat with. Additionally, the plate of bean sprouts and mint leaves was very minimal (I think I counted maybe like 10 bean sprouts that was provided for my boyfriend's pho). As a heads up - it is a very casual place with half-service in which you order food and drink from the register and then sit down if you please. read more

Good food, but they don't disclose certain details. People with nut allergies beware! I'm allergic to all nuts. I'm also Vietnamese. I eat a lot of fresh spring rolls and never usually have an issue, so I ordered them from here, knowing there would be peanut sauce on the side, however, what was not disclosed until I called, was that there are peanuts actually inside of the rolls too. Shame. Their pho and other offerings are tasty though. Just really wish their menu was more transparent. read more

Pho Viet's - Nowhere on this photo does it say that there's nuts inside of the print rolls. - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Literally the best banh mi in Boston. Full stop. No need to go anywhere else. Keep in mind they're closed on Tuesdays

Ordered only their scallion pancakes because I was craving it and I am so glad I did!! This place makes one of my most favorite ones. The order is a full amount to share and I love that the slices are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. It had the perfect doughy texture and the scallion taste is better than other places I've been to. Also, the sauce that comes with it is SO GOOD!! It has a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, goes perfect with this appetizer, unlike other places that just gives normal salty soy sauce. I would highly recommend this! *DISCLAIMER: the photo I posted is after I had already eaten more than half the order already- I couldn't wait and forgot to take a pic!! read more

I was craving Banh Mi but didn't want to drive all the way to Dorchester to Banh Le so I decided to try this place. The bread was slightly warm, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside which is so much better than Banh Le. The flavor was good but I felt it can be a little bit more flavorful compared to Banh Le. In addition, the ham was a bit limited, could add a couple more splices and pickled carrots. Overall I would come back again for the sub. read more

Pho Viet's - Banh mi - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Pho was okay. Inside dining set up like a cafe. You pay first and then sit down. The cashier was nice... Overall, I'd rate the food a 3/5... but for portion, Id give it a 4/5. Here is what I ordered and my thoughts: 1) Special Combination Beef Pho: I'd rate this dish a 3/5. I'm a native Vietnamese foodie. My family is from there and I love all authentic vietnamese food. This bowl-- the only good thing about it was the portion! A big bang for your buck! All essential cuts and meats are included (tripe, tendon, etc) love that! However, the broth is so lackluster. Missing the scent of the 5-Spices (Star anise, coriander seeds, cinnamon, etc) It does not smell like pho at all... It tasted like a chicken noodle soup bowl... Very watered down. Also, I recommend the chefs to add more flavor (fish sauce, chicken bouillon, sugar) because the broth was so lackluster. I had to add two trays of hoisin/sriracha to add more flavor... 2) Shrimp&Pork spring rolls: I expected the pork to be boiled pork like traditional spring rolls, but it was honey-grilled pork. Which is fine, but was not expecting it. I enjoyed the dipping sauce as well, kind of authentic. I enjoyed it. I'd rate it a 4/5 stars Overall, would not come back because the pho was pretty lackluster. Did not satisfy my authentic palette. read more

Service was very friendly and helpful. Cute and clean restaurant. The food is phenomenal. I ordered the rare steak pho and it was delicious!

I can declare that Pho Viet's pho is delicious and the best you can find in the Boston University / Allston / Brookline area. Hands down! I've had some bad experiences with pho (Vietnamese beef noodle soup), to the point where I was sick. But, the owners here were very kind and encouraged us to try it! We were not disappointed at all. read more

Quick takeout order, pickup was a breeze. Long line to order in person so best to call ahead! Tiny little spot. I got the beef banh mi and tricolored dessert. Beef banh mi was flavorful, meat was generous but a tad salty. Veggies were fresh and not overly pickled! Wish there was some extra sauce or spread inside because the roll was a bit stale and was a bit too crunchy. Tricolored dessert was tasty but I wish they provided an extra spoon, got a little difficult to suck up all the solid stuff on the bottom (coconut milk disappeared real quick) Overall solid food, quick turnaround, parking on the street, fair prices. Would come back to try their other food next time! read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the area for Bun Bo Hue. I have had it for many times and it is consistently good. Banh mi has good fillings and seasoning and authentic, but the bread is a bit too crispy/flaky (a common pattern with banh mi found in Boston in my experience) read more

Updating my review to reflect trying the Banh mi! All banh mi are now $8.75, raised from $7.50, and other menu prices also went up and now hover around $14 for an entree. The tofu banh mi is made with fried tofu and can be made vegan by omitting the mayo. It's a little dry and can be bland in some bites but there is a drizzle of soy sauce that adds a much needed saltiness. It's a super simple meal but it hits the spot for a quick, satisfying sandwich. The summer spring rolls are super simple, just tofu, vermicelli, and lettuce. There isn't much cilantro or mint, which I think would make it a lot better, but the peanut sauce is yummy and sweet (basically just hoisin plus peanut butter). All in all a nice satisfying meal. read more

Pho Viet is my go-to spot when I'm craving Vietnamese food. My favorite dish is the Saigon noodle which is a like a Vietnamese version of Pad Thai. The prices are very reasonable and the portion size is great! I always have leftovers and can actually split the Saigon noodle into 2 full meals. Their bon mi sandwiches are really good as well! I usually go for the pork or beef sandwiches. Honestly everything here is good! read more

One of the best banh mis I've had! Had a little time to kill prior to lunch plans at a hotpot place a mile up the road so figured I'd get some sammiches while in the area. This place popped up on Yelp. I'd never been here before so it was a little confusing as it used to be located inside a market down the street so I wanted to make sure I got the right spot. Their site was pretty clear about the new location. My only mistake was not pre ordering, I'm used to the counters where the little old ladies pump them out in an assembly line. Not here, they def take their time to present to you a well crafted product. I ordered 8 total - beef, pork, chicken and ham (typical cold cut). I was told 17 mins - I think the look on my face was telling as the woman at the counter said we only have one toaster, it will take time. I told her I had lunch plans in 15 mins, she said we will try to get it done as quickly as possible. To my surprise, 10 mins later - my order was complete and I was out the door. I was extremely thankful, the service was prompt and very friendly and they got my order out quickly. I didn't get to eat it until the day after - a little toasting was all it needed. Meaty and fresh veggies = delicious! I would come here again before some others in the Boston area. Although slightly more expensive, I feel it's worth it for the freshness and quality. I'd love to go back and try other options they have to offer! If dining in, they are checking vaccination cards as of 1/22/22. Can't wait to return! If ordering takeout, I'd preorder on their site or call in ahead of time. read more

Absolutely phenomenal food! It was my first time visiting the area and Pho Viet's and I'm really happy I had a chance to try their amazing food despite it still being take outs only. Apparently it used to locate within Super 88 food court just nearby but I think the new location suits them much better especially once indoor dining opens up again. Area is very bustling and parking can be a bit hard to find but luckily I had better chances when visited on a Friday afternoon. Ordering online was pretty easy and they definitely got my food ready within the 15 minutes quoted time. Both of the Vermicelli entries were really excellent but the porkchop even more so deserves extra praise. The price for the entrée at around $10-11 is quite fair for the delicious food that you get. I haven't been in the area for a long time but Pho Viet is definitely in the very top so far out of the half dozen or so Vietnamese cuisine restaurants I've tried within Boston area. It might be a bit difficult for me to get here but for their awesome food its well worth it! read more

I came here on a rainy day wanting to grab some lunch before I studied. I love banh mis but some places are hit or miss so when I saw the reviews for this place saying banh mi's are great, I decided to check it out and it did not disappoint. I ordered a chicken banh mi and the chicken was lemongrass chicken! So flavorful and the bread had a nice light airy crunch to it! Highly recommend coming here and at a good price! read more

I came here and said something I shouldn't have. I made a "Pho Pas" if you will. And it's worse than any other Pho Pas I've made, and I haven't apologized for it... viet. All the stores in this excellent little food court are interesting and diverse and this one is Vietnamese and cheap and well worth your time. I highly recommend that you come in and give it a try as it is cheap and delicious and there's a reason why people like it so much. I'm somewhere between a 4 and a 5 on it but I'll give it another try for a couple of other dishes other than the Pho, before I give it a 5-star rating. read more

Pho Viet's - I just haven't met you viet - Vietnamese Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Quick and easy place to get something SUPER filling for a very reasonable price. I went here one night because I was too lazy to make dinner and ordered myself a beef banh-mi. I was surprised to see how HUGE it was--I literally was stuffed halfway through and had the rest of lunch the next day. And the best part is it was only ~$6... imagine that! In terms of taste, I thought my banh-mi was very tasty. The meat was juicy and tender, the pickled vegetables inside were fresh, and the toast keeping it all together was super toasty. Such a perfect combination of textures and flavors. You really can't go wrong with their banh-mi, it's such a satisfying and flavorful meal! read more

Found this place during one of my walks on the commonwealth avenue. Also was craving Vietnamese for a while. The Banh mi was good. Spring rolls were good too but were a bit salty for my liking. Coming to the main item, the pho. I had such high expectations. The two things that I look for in a pho is the broth and the meat. The broth, while it gave me those flavors, it didn't really hit it with me. But again the benchmark for these dishes were the ones I had in Vietnam. The meat was a bit chewy too. Personally I like the basic versions of pho and this version for not that far from that. Also got a jasmine green tea drink. Worst decision ever. That tasted like perfume. read more

Feel like quality has gone downhill. I used to love the spicy beef noodle soup here but recent years it's been stinky every time I get it. Like the beef or something in there is not fresh.

The good: came here for the banh mi (sandwiches) I loved back in their food court days. Did not disappoint! So fresh and lovely from the perfect crispy French bread to the im pretty sure are homemade pickles. Grilled pork - excellent bundle of goodness. Def recommend The decor- so cute! Low key stylish Tables outside, kitschy bike and farmer hat, colorful murals The bad- spicy beef noodle soup. Broth was tasteless and definitely not from the time intensive bone broth I expect from a restaurant- I suspect from a flavoring can. The meat was grilled (?!) and probably from the same things that would go in a sandwich or one of their rice or vermicelli plates. Great for efficiency and an American fast food place like chipotle, but makes no sense for an Asian restaurant. Respect the broth please Overall will come back for the Ban Mi, will stay away from soups read more

It's possible we came at a very off day for this restaurant but having seen recommendations from various sources for a while now and looking for a good spot for pho in the Boston area, we were eager to try. We ordered 2 bowls of their Special Beef Noodle Soup (pho dac biet ) and shredded pork skin roll and were terribly disappointed. The pho broth tasted like water with a hint of beef stock and the rice noodle flavor ended up overwhelming the broth and we weren't able to finish our bowls. That being said, given all the high reviews I do think maybe we had a one off experience but we've found better broths at Pho Basil, even soup shack, and spots out in Dorchester...not sure if we just had a bad day! read more

Everything I tried was fantastic (and I'm a very picky eater). I got the beef banh mi (10/10), short beef rib (10/10), seafood soup (9/10), and crispy noodle (10/10). It was all flavorful, spicy, and delicious. Outside of the food- very laid back, relaxed environment. The owners are very personable and welcoming. Will definitely be hitting this place up again. read more

I have walked past this place several times but had never been. I was craving some good pho one night and so I decided to drop by to check it out. I was really impressed with the meal and the service. Both were excellent and I'd definitely recommend Pho Viet's. In order to get the proper experience, I figured I would order the special beef pho. I also tried the shrimp and pork spring rolls because I hadn't seen that before and it seemed pretty unique. The pho was just what I wanted, it came in a huge bowl with a good amount of everything (noodles, meat, and bean sprouts). The only thing against it was that I thought the broth could use just a bit more flavor, but it was still good. The spring rolls were awesome though, and they're what tipped the rating up to a 5 star for me. Something about the combo of everything together, from the shrimp and pork to the peanut sauce was just SO good. The servers were also very nice and courteous. I'll definitely be going back to satisfy my pho cravings in the future. read more
