Pho'n Rice

We had an amazing experience at Pho n Rice restaurant in Harvard. From the moment we walked in, everything impressed us — from the cleanliness of the space to the warm hospitality. The ambiance is casual, cozy, and very well maintained, making it perfect for both a relaxed lunch or a casual dinner outing. The food was truly the highlight — an outstanding mix of authentic Thai and Chinese cuisine. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The portions were generous, making it a great value for the price. Whether you’re a fan of spicy Thai curries, classic noodle dishes, or Chinese stir-fries, you’ll find something to love here. The mango sticky rice was something new we tried and curiously delicious!! What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely made us feel welcome — we were honestly treated like royalty. They took time to explain dishes, made thoughtful recommendations, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. While parking can be a bit limited, it wasn’t a big issue for us — the restaurant is just a short 10-minute walk from both the Red and Orange Lines, making it easily accessible by public transit. This place is a hidden gem that we’re so glad we discovered. If you're in the Harvard area and craving flavorful, authentic Thai or Chinese food, this spot is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Expect delicious food, chill vibes, and super friendly (fast) service! I will be back! I ordered the pineapple fried rice with chicken, and the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both were absolutely delicious, the iced coffee was very good, strong coffee with the sweetness of the condensed milk. I recommend if you’re looking for a delicious, and quick meal!

Quick and friendly service, attentive. My server was the sweetest and I felt so welcomed! Been here about 5 times now - Food is always spot on. Will drive out of my way to eat here.

I come here once a month at lunchtime for some really good pho. My server is really nice and I always enjoy our chats. The food is very fresh and I love the chefs tasting before my food arrives

Delicious food and great value! The free shrimp chips were a delightful surprise, and the Chicken Hot Basil and Pho (no 2) were both yummy. The 10% cash discount made it even better. Highly recommend!

Tried this place for the first time and had an exceptional dining experience. The workers were friendly and attentive the entire time. There is a very chill ambiance with soothing music. And most importantly, the food was so delicious and fresh. I was surprised to get complimentary soup and salad. Both tasted so delicious that I would order them! I ordered the fresh summer rolls and crab fried rice. Everything was perfect.. can’t wait to return!

The food is absolutely amazing, and the vibe with Thai music makes me feel like I am in Thailand. As a Thai person, I can say that every dish they serve is just like what I eat in Thailand. I love the crab fried rice; the taste is authentic and there is a lot of crab. I asked the server, and they told me they took over this place in April 2024. After taking over, they changed the menu and the chef. The price is reasonable for all that I got; I would say it goes beyond expectations. This place is one of the best Thai restaurants. Once I visit Boston again, I will definitely come back to this place 100%!

I spent months in Thailand and Vietnam as a digital nomad. Given my experience with Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, I would say I was really satisfied with my food experience there and they exceeded my expectations. Really nailed the authentic flavors. I’m definitely visiting the restaurant again.

Really great Thai food, huge portions and low prices. Love this little hole in the wall with authentic, classic Thai dishes. Their Kaprow and their spicy basil pad Thai are both exceptional. Good for dine in and take out. Highly recommend!!

The place is definitely under new management. It looks very different, the quality is still the same though. I don't love the use of the ramen bowls and spoons for pho, but I'm Vietnamese and I just feel like it's taking away from the culture. They have some new options which is cool. Happy that whoever took over kept the name! Still a great spot.

Good local option for some Vietnamese takeout food. I ordered the Com Ga rice plate and the food was very good. The meat was well cooked and flavorful and there was plenty of rice and a side salad as part of the meal. Good deal for a simple weekday dinner.

I had a sudden urge for pho. Fortunately, I found out about Pho 'n Rice and promptly walked over for dinner. Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted and seated. Unfortunately, the speed of service somewhat slowed after I took my seat. Despite the restaurant being far from full, I waited awhile before someone took my order; I waited even longer for them to prepare my food. Nevertheless, the food here is worth the wait. The pho broth was rich in flavor and complemented the meat and noodles. In terms of portion size, I was surprised that they gave me a hearty portion of meat and quite a lot of noodles. Overall, the service here can be spotty, but the food here is definitely worth the wait.

My go to takeout order here is a Goi salad with tofu and drunken noodles with tofu. Pretty much the largest and healthiest yummy takeout order you can get in this neighborhood for a total of 20 bucks before tax/tip. And ready in 15 minutes!

With so many great food options on this block, Pho 'n Rice is kind of like the unassuming cousin that fades into the background, but has a hidden wild side. The Bo Bun Hue was freaking delicious! The meat was so tender, melt-in-your-mouth. A hint of spicy. Silky noodles. A taste of tangy lemongrass. Meanwhile the regular Dac Biet was nothing to write home about. The other standout was the fresh limeade! A nice, refreshing cooldown from the meal. There aren't that many tables available for sit-in dining. Seems like a lot of their business is take-out. I've heard good things about their summer rolls & plan to come by to try other items on the menu, besides pho!

I've been coming here for a few years now. Really solid Vietnamese food and friendly service. I usually get the Dac Biet Pho, which is one of the best in the Camberville area IMO. The broth is deliciously flavorful, as a good pho broth should be.

I ordered the Bun Bo Hue. I'm 100% Vietnamese, and my family is from Hue, so I know what good BBH is. This was okay. I liked the flavor, it was there. However, this dish here has many missing authentic components, maybe because it caters to non-Vietnamese people? It's missing pork blood, pork hoof, tendon, Vietnamese pork ham, etc. Also, this dish had way too much lemongrass in it. Too much lemongrass throws off the texture, and it becomes grainy. Also, I wished the rice noodles were thicker. These were on the thinner side. The service was okay. Not very friendly or smiley. I didn't feel welcomed, but I got all I needed , I guess. The ambiance was a two story restaurant. Limited seating, but it feels homey. ---------------------------------------- My Star Rating Scale: 5 Stars: Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will come back 4 Stars: I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still come back 3 Stars: It was okay, I didn't hate it but didn't like it either; would not voluntarily come back 2 Stars: I did not like it, I would not come back 1 Star: Absolutely hated it, I would not come back here

I ordered pho ga on doordash and asked if they could fill the broth container to the brim because I am sick. They gave me a whole extra container, made my day, and sooooo so good. Healed me right up. Def recommend.

we have been eating here for years, and it looks like there is new management--- now the place is awesome! upgraded menu, far more offerings, upgraded plates and water glasses, new sign...but the real news is how good the food is! if people knew there would be lines to get in! the place is tiny. or cozy. something special is happening in the kitchen! this has become far more than a neighborhood place---people should come from everywhere.

The worst experience ever! I have been a customer for a very long time (since 2022)- always order delivery and through their website- usually once a week. This past Sunday we order our usual Pho soups for myself and my husband. Also, appetizers for my daughter. The delivery came on time but they forgot the bean sprouts/lemon and 1 of the soup broth. We called the restaurant and the lady on the phone didn't speak any English. She was having a really hard time understanding us. We told her the items that were missing and she said "delivery will be done soon" she didn't even apologize for her mistake. 55 minutes later- no delivery yet! We called the restaurant and it was her again- we asked her when was the delivery happening on the missing items? She said "I don't know" And hang up . Our food was already cold and we were very upset. We called the delivery driver and didn't pick up. There is no email or other contact info to let them know- sooo unfortunately a bad review it's the only option.

My go-to place for take out (note: there is always a small little dining area too for eat in). This place is a local neighborhood favorite that's been around for years with delicious authentic Vietnamese and Thai dishes. I've had tons of stuff on the menu and it's all so good, including the Pho, apps, and traditional dishes. Everything is full of flavor and pretty healthy too. Not to mention they are a small family business that are always so friendly, fast and reliable.

Small restaurant located slightly off the beaten path of Mass Ave. The staff is nice and the prices are quite reasonable given the portion size and quantity! I would strongly recommend the bun vermicelli and spring rolls! Their dishes are refreshingly light and not overloaded with sauces. Great dining experience overall.

I ordered delivery from them and the Bun Bo Hue was the best one I've had in Boston. The broth was so flavorful and it came with beef flank rather than beef meatballs which is usually what I see. The Pad Thai was pretty good too but the Bun Bo Hue stood out.

The worst Vietnamese food I've ever had, out of the 50+ Vietnamese restaurants I've dined in in the USA and Vietnam. We were craving pho, vermicelli, and soup for our family and saw good ratings for this restaurant, so ended up ordering dinner for 10+ individuals. Each person was left unhappy, with more to desire. The pho dishes come out to approximately $16/per person with vegetables, but are skimpy. There was very little protein compared to the amount of protein you'd typically get for a pho dish. There were several vegetarian soups with catfish and shrimp that we ordered and both had 1 piece of shrimp. Yup, one piece. That was confusing because it felt like they forgot to put in the protein we paid extra for, but somehow remember to put in one piece. Furthermore, the broth in the beef and vegetarian dishes tasted and smelled like wet socks. The appetizers were the only good part of the order. I personally liked the calamari. Overall, definitely would not recommend. No clue what they're doing at this restaurant to have let us down with 10+ different entrees.

The food is decent for its price point. Dining in was a rough experience on the hygiene front. The place smelled like sweat and lacked in cleanliness. Dirty menus, smelly furniture and smelly kitchen odors. Aside from that, nice, well intentioned staff.

Have come back to Pho 'n Rice a handful of times since my last review and sadly want to lower my rating. The broth is a bit diluted, just missing some extra flavor. And everything tastes a bit too sweet for me. This may hit the spot if you're really craving Vietnamese food.

Tried Pho 'n Rice once for takeout and once for dine-in to give them a fair shot, but they didn't impress me too much. Our first try was grabbing takeout - one Beef Kua Kai Noodle Dinner and one Bun Thit Nuong. The Beef Kua Kai had a good amount of tender beef, but I found the noodles to be lacking in any special quality. It felt a little mushy as I progressed through the meal. On the other hand, the Bun Thit Nuong was pretty good according to my fiancée. Wasn't spectacular, but a good dish if she craved it. We went back about a week later to dine in for lunch. We were seated quickly just before noon on a rainy Saturday and ordered a bowl of Pho Dac Biet and Mi Hoanh Thanh. What stood out to us was there were no sizes to pick from - one size fits all here. My opinion is that the Pho Dac Biet was a little on the small side - didn't get too much variety of meat on it and the beef didn't come in good big slices. Instead, some of the beef was in bits floating around the soup. The broth was not as hearty and flavorful as I have had in other shops in the area, but the noodles had a nice texture so no complaints there. The Mi Hoanh Thanh had a comparatively more flavorful broth and the egg noodles were great. The included pork was on the dry side and the dumplings were a little small, but not a bad bowl of soup noodles to satisfy cravings. Service was quite nice and fast, so I will give them credit for that. One other note about dine-in - for some reason, the music they had playing kept cutting in and out. It was a good modern pop playlist, but it got very distracting during our meal to keep hearing pauses in the background. Overall, I wouldn't come here very often if I crave Viet or Thai food. It'll do in a pinch, but I think there are some better options out there worth going to.

Sunday lunch. Light but satisfying. I wanted Bun. Got exactly what I wanted. Bun Thit Nuong with lemongrass chicken (added a spring roll). Vermicelli noodles, pickled carrot and daikon, fresh lettuce, and bean sprout galore. Could have used a few more leaves of fresh Thai basil (a little skimpy). The fish sauce was light and not too pungent. Everything was light and fresh. Chicken was not at all fatty which was surprising for take out chicken pieces. Overall great takeout!

I've only ever ordered take out from here and from what I've experienced, this is pretty standard and will satisfy your craving for pho. Whenever I feel a sudden urge for pho on a rainy day and don't wanna move, I'll order delivery from here! It's usually pretty quick and the prices are decent too. I don't love that the pho doesn't come with any chili's though so I usually have to add my own. I also order the fresh spring rolls. It comes with 2 pieces of shrimp in each roll and pork. The pork is a little dry but the rolls are, again, pretty standard. I like the peanut hoisin sauce that comes with it. Overall, nothing spectacular but a good/reliable go-to.

Great local Thai place. Recommend the pad Thai, curry, pineapple fried rice, and scallion pancakes

Got delivery from here to Cambridge. Everything was tasty, quite fresh, and prepared with the specifications I had indicated. Enjoyed the small flavorful Tom Yum soup and the Pad Thai, which was a nice portion, and had just the right amount of protein, egg, and peanuts.

I ordered via UberEats. My friend and I were craving Pho in this weather. We ordered Pad Thai, Pho Dac Biet, and scallion pancake. The prices are very reasonable. The Pho came disassembled which kept it hot. The broth, meat and bean sprouts were in separate containers. The Pho itself was mediocre. The pad Thai was phenomenal! It was a little sweet and a little fish saucy. It had a lot of peanuts and the serving size was very generous. The scallion pancakes were hot and came with a delicious tangy sauce. Would def order again, but will likely not get the pho (at least for takeout).

Ordered here today and was extremely disappointed with the pho I got. I have ordered the dac Biet pho several times before in the past and know what goes in it. The beef I got with the pho this time was literally half the amount that I usually get. It was like enough for a half of a roast beef sandwich. Looks like this place is trying to be cheap bastards, probably because of the pandemic. Waste of money. Won't be ordering here again.

Best place for pho in town. Me and my boyfriend eats(or orders) here almost weekly. Big portion and amazing service. We enjoyed crab rangoon and pho a lot.

Really disappointed in this meal. Over priced and flavorless. I want to support my local Asian business, being a big fan of viet food... but it's a disgrace. The shrimp toast had literally no shrimp on it , $6 for 5 small pieces of chicken wings. Paid for "large pho" got a few pieces of meat and there was nothing large about the pho at all... never ordering from here again. I ordered on grub hub. Also not a big deal but they don't have jack fruit shakes, they called to ask about a substitute. Not a big deal to me but quality and price was.

My boyfriend and I have become obsessed with Pho & Rice takeout! The food is delicious and never disappoints; we've never had any issues with online ordering (usually through GrubHub) and the portions are great for at least 2 or 3 meals. Must Try: Short Rib appetizer & Duck Pho, our favorite comfort foods! Customers for life :)

I liked the pho a lot, not too salty and a generous amount of noodles and beef. I did not enjoy the tom yum fried rice. I love tom yum soup and fried rice but this ended up being strangely sweet tomato rice. If you want takeout pho, this is the place- very well packaged and tasty.

This was not a good experience. I had the food delivered. The duck soup had one unglamorous drumstick dumped in a container of broth. The rice noodles, basil etc. were in a separate container, congealed. All in all it wasn't a good soup. A good duck soup simmers the broth with pieces of duck. The lo mein was a greasy mess. The pork in it was white hunks of flavorless mystery meat. I promptly tossed it. The dumplings were good, though!

Imma be real with you. I only ordered from Pho 'n Rice because my old standby, Pho Pasteur, was taking upwards of two hours for delivery. Since I wanted to compare apples to apples, I went with the cuon fresh summer rolls and bun thit nuong, each with tofu. Both were delicious. Strangely enough, the highlight of this vegetarian's meal was the super tasty nuoc cham made in house.

I have been a long time customer but recently had two bad experiences that will deter me from visiting again. I have a severe peanut allergy and in the past, they've been wonderful with accommodating my allergy with their Thai dishes (I do understand that Thai cuisine is generally not very nut-friendly). However, there have been two separate instances in the past few months where I received dishes with peanuts after specifying my allergy, with me only finding out after biting into a peanut! For any fellow peanut allergy sufferers, I would be cautious in ordering from here until the issue is resolved.

Boun, the woman who served me at the front of the house, was very kind in letting me use her sink to wash hands and fill up on my water after a sweaty bicycle ride in 90 degree heat before I ordered their delicious food. Papaya salad was overly cheap for the quality, $6, and delightfully tasty and satisfying and came through her recommendation. Also paired with a very reasonably priced and iceeeee thick milky taro bubble tea for only $5. She made it to my preference with less sugar! The other dishes my friend bought were also good I'm guessing because you know it's good when people are just munching away without complaint! Haha. I love Vietnamese family places! Such a sweet people like other pacific Islanders. Please support them as they said they were almost having to shut down!!! We can't lose this treasure on Somerville beacon st. Support your struggling local Vietnamese restaurants!

This review is for delivery only I really liked Pho 'n Rice, takeout can be sketchy sometimes but I was really craving some comfort food and decided to order and take my chances. I'm so glad I did! My pho arrived still hot, all the toppings separate so it wasn't mushy. The portion was solid and I ordered a few side dishes which were very good as well. This is definitely a solid delivery option in Cambridge - I will be going back soon!

I know I shouldn't rely wholly on Yelp for business hours. But the website does not list hours. We arrived shortly after 1 on a Saturday. Yelp said they were open 11:30-10:00. The neon sign in the window was lit up "open". But the door was locked. As we pulled on the door, somebody inside closed the window blinds. Hey. I get it. You aren't open. But you closed the blinds in my face. At least have the courtesy to open the door. Say "I'm sorry but we are closed. The open sign was inadvertently left on. We will reopen at ?"

2 years later, my boyfriend and I revisited this cute little Thai/Vietnamese place while visiting friends in the area, and we still love it. I ordered the medium bowl of the pho dac biet and he got the spicy pork rib. Both were fresh, well-made, and delicious. My pho wasn't the best bowl of pho I've ever had, but it hit all the right notes, and the medium bowl was more than enough food to leave me stuffed and satisfied. It's also possible that my pho was just overshadowed by the seriously tasty spicy pork rib. Once I had a taste of that, I had some serious dish envy and was kicking myself for not ordering that. Picture a tender pork chop, gently fried and coated in an addicting sweet and spicy sauce. Now double that and pile it on a generous mound of rice, and you have the awesomeness that is that dish. I'm drooling just thinking about it. :P Same as last time: The service was great, restaurant clean, and prices super reasonable for the amount of food given. If you're in Somerville, definitely try this place out!

Pho was utterly lacking in flavour. Bland as salted water. Bun fell equally flat - too little to eat, too little flavour, not especially good flavour - not worth paying for. I also tried the noodles. Mushy texture, too little sauce. Skip.

Dac biet (with yellow noodles) was pretty good but nothing special about it. The beef fat was delicious, but the rare steak was all right. The noodles tasted like store-bought noodles, which was super un-impressive. The pho was pretty plain, and my friends and I had to add spicy sauce to make them more exciting in flavor. My sister ordered a noodle bowl that came with wontons, and the wontons were meh. Our mom's wontons were definitely much better.

Order from this place right now. We've ordered pho from them at least 5x always fresh, on time delivery and delicious! They have become a rotation in our house!

This place is spot on. Delivery saved me during Covid. Forgot to write this review. I just remember how hot the soup came and how everything was so delicious. Thank you guys!

Excellent delivery from Pho 'n Rice. Their chicken pho was outstanding and came perfectly packaged for takeout so that you can assemble right when you're ready to eat. I also loved their summer rolls with pork and shrimp. definitely one of my new favorite seamless spots!

Always super fast delivery and great flavors. An extensive menu so that even the pickiest of eaters will find something to eat. Pho 'n rice is pho 'n nice!

I used to love this place. I don't know what happened. Had dinner delivered the other day and the portions were, ummm...I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Never again.

Every so often a hidden gastronomic beacon pops up and illuminates one's culinary experience. Pho n' Rice is that kind of place. The food is fantastic, especially when Chef Bobby is cooking. I've been to this place plenty of times during the past few years, and I've finally gotten around to writing a review for it. Chef Bobby is this cherubic-looking guy from Thailand who has incredible touch with his cooking. One time he found out that my small group of friends were there to celebrate a birthday and he whipped up this dish which I can only call "Eggplant Sashimi". I'm not a great lover of eggplant, and maybe that's also because NE Patriot's quarterback Tom Brady avoids it like the plague because it's a nightshade vegetable. Heck, who doesn't want to eat like a champion, right? But this Eggplant Sashimi dish is as close as any vegan dish has ever come to transforming me into being a full-time vegan. The texture and mouthfeel is very close to high-grade tuna. And the seasoning of it is something akin to sunshine after a rainstorm softly landing on the palate. I've tried more than 20 appetizers and dishes at this place, and not a single one disappointed. That's a pretty amazing feat. And it speaks to the quality of what this restaurant creates. Additionally, the place is immaculately clean and the waitstaff are wonderful and efficient. They introduced me to this amazing music group called Boyce Avenue. You might wonder what's prompted me to suddenly write a review after regularly eating at this place for the past few years. It has to do with a conversation I recently overheard Chef Bobby having with some other dude. He said that he's contemplating returning to Thailand because running a restaurant is an incredible financial struggle. Okay, was I eavesdropping? Hell yeah because if a great restaurant (especially a small family-owned one) is in peril, then I'm not just going to stand idly by and watch it tank. So, what should people do? Obviously the first thing you should do is go there and try the food yourself. But another thing is to take an extra minute or two to directly call the restaurant to place your order if you want takeout. Try not to order it online. As someone who is well-versed in online ordering enterprises, the minute or so that placing an order on your iPhone saves you is also the very thing that can doom wonderful small restaurants. Why? Because the seamlessness of the technology is expensive and can more than destroy already razor-thin food margins for restaurant owners. It's because of this that I absolutely refuse to place a restaurant order online. I'd rather lose a minute or two to place my order directly with a great restaurant because I know that this translates to the restaurant actually making some profit off my order so that they can stay in business. Don't get me wrong. Online ordering is super-convenient, especially if you don't know the area well. But it's kind of like plastic straws: they're super-convenient but what good is that convenience if the result is that they get get lodged in the nostril of a cute sea turtle and put it's existence in peril? Btw, I thought the whole thing with restaurants switching to paper straws was stupid until I just watched that sea turtle video on YouTube. Whoa!!!!! Third, resist the temptation to load up on coupons for these places so that you don't keep eating there for a fraction of what you should pay. Do it the first time, but when a place is as amazing as this one and you know their profit margins are slim, every coupon you use is putting them into the red and hastening their demise as well as ultimately depriving you of the enjoyment they provide you with. Oh, and while I'm on the topic, a fourth thing everyone can do is pay in cash. Again, the convenience of credit cards is great for consumers, but it significantly eats into the profits of small mom-and-pop businesses. And we all know that the frequent-flyer points system is so onerous that you shouldn't even bother trying to spend enough money to get that rare free ticket. If you're curious about why I'd go into all of this for Pho n' Rice, just go in and try their food. Then you'll understand why we all need to help amazing small businesses like this one, Bloomy Rind in Hingham, Triple 5 Motors in Quincy, and Norwell Thai Spa in Norwell. These are the places that really add vibrancy to our lives. But they and the sea turtles of the world (both literally and figuratively) will only continue to exist if we forego/sacrifice small bits of convenience so that they can actually survive and continue to grace our world with their presence.

Do not believe the negative reviews from 1+ year ago!! This restaurant is AMAZING - great food, great service

I am surprised by the number of below average reviews that people have given this place. I, alongside my girlfriend, had a good experience there and a solid, affordable meal. After a quick drive, we parked right up front at one of the numerous, non-metered parking spots present on that segment on Beacon Street. And we walked right in. It was almost 2PM at that point and we were pretty hungry at that point. After being greeted nicely by one of the staff members there, we walked up a tiny flight of stairs into the dining room area and sat at a table. The restaurant is a no-frills kind of place. Very simplistic decor, nothing special, no theme in particular and no Vietnamese artifacts to be seen. Only background music and a bottle of Sriracha to accompany us through our epicurean adventure. We decided to split their vegetarian Cha Gio (crispy rolls) to start ($6) - the order featured four perfectly fried rolls of deliciousness. A perfect ratio of carrots to taro root, onions and random other ingredients. It came with a dipping sauce and the whole thing was rather addictive; a great way to start off the meal. Having a craving for Pho, I then decided to order up a bowl of their Tai Pho (beef noodle soup with rare steak) but the waiter told me that their beef broth wasn't quite yet ready. I appreciated his honesty on the matter and he advised that I try the chicken one instead. I obliged and while a tad disappointed, I actually looked forward to it as I had never had chicken pho before. Each pho comes in three sizes and I got the medium bowl which ran me a meager $8.50. It arrived instants later, pipping hot and full of shredded chicken, spices, herbs and with a side of bean sprouts, Thai basil and lime. I poured the sides in, added a few drops (ok fine, a significant amount) of sriracha in there and off I went, working my way through it, sweating from the spiciness. It was terrific. Was it the best pho? No. But it was pretty damn good, pretty damn cheap and pretty damn convenient to get to. It's really the only Pho place in Somerville that I know of and it sure beats trying to get to and park in Harvard Square to go to Lee's. The girlfriend got their Thai salad as her entree, a salad featuring cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, peppers and pickled carrots, all topped with some chicken satay. At $7, it was a steal and she seemed to enjoy it. Another highlight of the meal was the limeade I ordered. It was made in-house and tasted delicious. Not too sweet, and very limy. The waiter also added a nice little touch by twirling some of the straw wrapped into a cool design (see picture I posted on Yelp). It was refreshing as well and definitely something I'd order again on my future trips back. All in all this place is convenient, easy to get to by car or from Porter Square (~ 8 minute walk) and it features a varied menu featuring all kind of Vietnamese dishes. They also have lunch specials everyday which will get you a seaweed soup, some Thai dumplings, crispy rolls, a green salad and rice alongside an entre for just $9. That's right. Oh and did I mention that the service is friendly, that the place is clean and that they also deliver? I shall be coming back.

Poor service, food quality and portions - recommending you move along The food arrived over 15 minutes late and was cold. I ordered 4 items and the portions were laughable for the price. There were so few rangoons you could shake up the box and none of them would be touching. My dinner tonight was a small box of white rice. Not clear if this was a lapse in service or the standard offering. In any case there are enough other places to order from I'll cross this one off the list.

The pho is legit. Very savory broth and humongous bowls! I never stray too far from the soup, but the rest of the menu is very average. The decor is kind of strange, they love playing this weird music that is cover versions of old songs. Currently playing a soft cover of torn in here (Natalie imbruglia anyone?)

Since I've moved to Somerville I get Pho n Rice's avocado curry with tofu at least twice a month. Very good, fast and well priced.

Great little Thai restaurant in the area. They made really good pad Thai, and have many others authentic Thai foods that you can possibly find here. I love the restaurant atmosphere, clean and cute. The staff are friendly offering exceptional service. Plus they has delivery service!!! yay! You don't have to get out of your house. Try their Duck noodle soup, pad Thai, most of their noodle entrée are great!!!
