88 Food Connection

"Pho Viet’s pho chay with vegetables and tofu is a rich and nourishing soup." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

"This giant supermarket and food court has two signs out front, and neither of them use its actual name. But whether you call it Food Connection (because that’s what it says on the awning), Super 88 (because that’s what’s on the huge billboard that you can see halfway down Comm Ave in Allston), or Hong Kong Supermarket, because you’re an annoying pedant who looked up its actual name, you’ll find a lot of really good, really affordable Asian food stalls here. The best deals may be at Pho Viets, where a huge banh mi costs just $5.65." - dan secatore

"Super 88 is an Asian food court and grocery store in Allston. A lot of the stalls seem to change hands and come and go every couple of years, but you can always count on finding a good meal here without spending a lot of money. Pho Viets is one of the standard-bearers, and it’s a great option for big, cheap banh mi." - Dan Secatore
