Pho Viet’s

No frills Vietnamese pho and other dishes. We preferred the chicken egg noodle soup over the spicy beef rice noodle soup. The chicken soup had a deeper flavor and the egg noodles were the perfect texture. In addition, we ordered the wings and smoothies - both excellent. Best pho I’ve tried in the city!

This has been my go to place for a Bahn mi! The size is reasonable for the price. The baguette is perfectly crispy and the ingredients are delicious. I’ve came here 3x already for their Bahn mi’s because of how reasonable priced they are.

I ordered spring rolls and pho dac biet. The price is reasonable and spring roll is amazing with both shrimp and pork in it. The pho was delicious too with raw steak, cooked steak, meatballs and onions with raw bean sprouts and spices. They were in a reasonable price.

Cool vietnamese cafe serving banh mi, pho and rice dishes. You get a lot of food for the price. The food comes out fast. Its seat yourself, sometimes you gotta wait for a table to clear out. Can be very cold inside when dining in during the winter time.

Food is always consistent and a great value. Any meat I've ever ordered has been cooked to perfection. I also love the Thai tea. Staff is friendly and service is quick. It is a little small inside, but most people take food to go.

This place was so good and hit the spot on a cold night. I got an order of summer rolls and it came with peanut sauce and some spicy chili sauce on the side too, both sauces went great with the rolls. The pork banh mi was a lot bigger than anywhere else I've gone (chopsticks for size reference). I got the lemongrass pork with vermicelli and my friend got the lemongrass chicken breast and both were delicious! I love bringing friends here every time I come visit the area. 10/10 would recommend!

If you’re new to Boston or haven’t found your go to Vietnamese take out spot - you have arrived. Been going to Pho Viets for about 10 years now and the quality of the food and service remains consistently excellent. Other spots definitely try to cut corners but PV sets a high standard and delivers Their Banh Mi’s are outstanding. I usually order the cold cut but my gf loves the grilled pork. Great pate and the bread that shatters everywhere if you try to eat it while driving (this is a good sign btw) Other musts are the cold chicken salad, shrimp fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce, and spicy beef noodle stew. This family deserves your business

Before you go in just know that this is not a typical dine in restaurant but rather a student type of spot. Everything was served in plastic plates and utensils. Sandwich was way too much bread, no balance with other ingredients. Shrimp rolls were huge for no reason, stuffed with too much lettuce. I really hope the broth is somewhat homemade? Otherwise I would not come back or recommend this place. I’ve had way better phos and food.

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)

Stopped by on a rainy day and found the bun bo hue to be a great pick-me-up. It was very comforting and portions were generous. Very mildly spicy. The beef tendon was very tender and I appreciated the variety of meats in this dish. Food came out quick and service was friendly. There are plenty of tables in the back of the restaurant.

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!!!

So glad this place got their own space out here - they used to be in the food court across the street . What an upgrade! And what a cute cool and cozy space inside! Very cute interior art on the counter wall depicting scenes from South Asia, and the brick wall with the benches and greenery with potted plants. They did a great job with the decor incorporating the Vietnamese culture and roots in here. Very nice! It's a long space that leads to a few tables at the far end. Seating for about 20-25 people. Banh Mi sandwiches were great we got chicken and pork plus a few extra for next days lunch. Yummy! Tasty, filling and fresh as always! Go here if you haven't already!

I have had the pleasure of going here and I think Pho Viet's has some great Vietnamese food around the Boston area! Granted my experience is slightly limited because I have only been there once and did not order a lot of stuff, so if I have the chance to return, I would like to try this spot again. Phở Gà was probably the best I have had almost anywhere in the United States, and the fact that the chicken is hand-pulled makes the texture extra nice! The broth is very well-made which of course enhances the experience of eating any type of phở! I also had the vegetable & tofu egg fried rice. The rice was quite mediocre with no distinct flavor or seasoning, probably because the vegetables on top of the rice should be the main part of this dish, and it shows. The dish felt like vegetables placed on top of plain rice and that was it. The vegetables also lacked seasoning, which was unexpected. The stark contrast of these two dishes that I have had is leading me to give this place a 4 star. I think part of it might be because others don't really come here to order what I have ordered, the Rau Cải Xào Cơm (Vegetable & Tofu Egg Fried Rice), so maybe I will order something more in line with where their popularity lies next time.

Stopped by this casual joint for some dinner. You have to order first and then get seated. The server usually gives you the food afterwards. The food was really delicious. My friend has the special beef pho. The beef was tender and cooked in the hot broth as is traditionally served. I ordered the seafood pho and asked to make it spicy. It was served with their in-house chili oil which I feel could have been spicier but then again my tolerance for spicy is higher than most. The squid was not as tender as I'd like it to be, but the shrimp and fish balls were great. Overall I would recommend this place if you're looking for good pho in a casual joint.

This restaurant used to be located in Super 88 but I am glad they found a new location on Comm ave! The inside is fairly small but has a decent amount of seating. Not great for large groups though. I cant speak to rest of the menu but I do enjoy their pork Banh mi! Some cons to the Banh mi - it is not as flavorful as I'd like. I wish they grilled the pork and had the pickled veggies more pickled. But that is just my preference. For $7 in this location, it is well worth it. A good value lunch!

Amazing food. Glad they stayed around the area! I love their Chicken Ca Ri, which is a signature chicken curry soup with amazing spices! It comes with either a baguette or noodles. The traditional is the bread but both are delicious! Their bread is so fresh so can't go wrong with a banh mi. Pho was a staple and broth was delicious! So far loved everything about this place. Gets busy so getting a table can be difficult sometimes, but people are fairly quick so it will be a short wait.

I'm Viet and this is a close version of authentic Vietnamese food. Tried the pho. The flavor of the broth is missing some depth. Pho came with none of the herbs that any other Viet restaurants would give you as a standard for the dish. Tried the rice combo dish. 95% there. The fish sauce was a touch too savory for this dish, it needed to be adjusted. Meat for the rice dish and the lemongrass chicken dish was over marinated, making the meat tough and not fresh. For the prices they were charging, we were given flimsy plastic spoons and forks to eat with. Had to ask for a flimsy knife to cut the meat. (See picture.)

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.

I've been getting Pho Viet's since I was a kid when they were in the Super 88/HK Supermarket food court. Their chicken banh mi has been my hyperfixation meal since childhood and I still go back to it as my go-to. It used to be like $3 and stuffed with so much meat I could barely fit my mouth around it LOL but now it's roughly $8-9 bc inflation with less meat but like idc it's still so good. Sometimes when I go in person the meat is literally steaming bc it's so fresh and the baguette is crispy and flaky and so yum. It's one of few places, maybe even the only place I know, that makes a good chicken banh mi bc they slice the chicken thinly and marinate it well and it's not dry. My siblings love the beef one but I don't like beef so idk but if they like it i guess it's good. My dad has an obsession with their viet fried rice or something like that bc everywhere he goes he needs to have rice. My mom calls him a rice bucket. I haven't had that one in a long time but it was good. No but really this place is run by a nice family w quick service (they speak Canto!) and one time when their Allston/BU location was closed I really went all the way to their Newton location to satisfy my cravings and it was just as good. Not great pics but w.e.

Great food but confusing policies. I came in with a group of friends on a Friday night hoping to dine in, but there weren't any tables open so we ordered our food to-go. As we were waiting for our food, tables opened up and we were able to sit down. An employee came by to let us know that if we ordered to-go, then the tables were off limits, but that he would let it slide. It's unreasonable to expect us to order our food for dine-in and stand around with hot soup bowls waiting for a table to open up. Additionally, people also order to-go sometimes because they plan on having leftovers.

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.

~review for takeout~ Got the spring rolls and Bun Bo Hue. The Bun Bo Hue was very flavorful, not too spicy but has all the right seasoning. I do wish the spring rolls had a bit more mint and that the peanuts were not actually in the rolls (esp for those with allergies) but overall pretty good!

This place is such a gem. I usually get takeout from here because the seating is pretty limited, but I swear the food never disappoints. The summer rolls are my favorite thing to get, but the lemongrass vermicelli bowls are a close second. The banh mi and pho is also very good!

Great lunch steps from BU and Landry's Bicycles. Fast service. Excellent Pho. I would come back anytime. Wide menu and clean rest rooms.

If you've been in boston long enough, you'll remember the pho place in Super 88 well Pho Viet is apparently the offspring of that place (quite literally!). One of the co-owners is a BU alum so go support! As for food, the menu has everything from pho, vermicelli, coffee, banh mi and bubble tea! I got the standard Beef with pho and the Espresso with condensed milk. The coffee is strong and yummy just like I like it. The pho broth is really rich and flavorful as well (good for hangovers!). Ambiance is modern and clean, but FYI if you're coming with a large group you might have to wait for a couple tables to open up. Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5

This small little hole-in-the-wall has one of the best bahn mis I've tried in Boston thus far. We came here on a scorching hot summer day and were craving something fresh, and this place did the trick. I started with an ice cold Thai tea which was the perfect amount of sweetness. I then ordered a pork bahn mi and split an order of crispy vegetarian spring rolls, both which were absolutely amazing. The spring rolls were piping hot, fresh out of the fryer, and were served with some greens, noodles, and dipping oil. The bahn mi was stacked with toppings and delicious marinated meat. The bread was also perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Although there aren't too many tables inside, we enjoyed our meal at one of the remaining high tables, nestled away in the dining area. The staff were also super friendly and accommodating, making for a great dining experience.

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!

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.

Scrumptious food and a nice calm atmosphere. The people were very nice. I ordered the wonton soup and vegetable dumplings and both were so tasty and warming. I would definitely go back here!

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.

waiting for over 40 minutes. People arriving after me already finished their meal but mine didn't even start cooking I don't know what to say besides feeling discriminated

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.

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!

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.

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!

Counter order to table restaurant. Friendly warm service. Pho was delicious with a generous portion.

Hmm. Overall it was a good experience. Was it the best pho ever? Best BBH ever? Best bahnmi ever? No. But was it good? Yes. Honestly it hit the spot. The pho could have had more flavor and the BBH could have had more flavor. It wasn't as deep of a flavor as I like. The meat on the bahnmi was good and had a good tempo throughout the sandwich. Overall good experience. No complaints

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Used to love their food so much but now they are on the main street their food have became super salty. So much MSG that made me super thirsty afterwards. The beef tai in the pho became strips that's really chewy too. Not cut in the right direction. It's difficult to find a place to park your car too if you are picking up. The soups became msg soups instead.

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.

My go to place for Bhan mi sandwich, i usually order the ham. The ingredients are so fresh and very tasty, the veggies snap. Vietnamese iced coffee is the perfect compliment with their sandwich. Very busy so go early or order ahead, well worth it.

So good! The Vermicelli with beef was soooo good!!! I really loved it and the prices was really good. The location was ideal for the students and local residents. Very clean. Great service. Will come back very soon.

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.

I ordered delivery from here and I have to say it is quite decent. The prices are middle of the road and the portions are large, though if you really look, they fill up on the cheap rice. Nonetheless, it was still very tasty and I didn't get sick, so there's that.

Lemongrass Chicken with Vermicelli Noodles. $12.15. The dish was bursting with flavor. Crowded in the restaurant (during weekday lunch rush at 12:30) but service was fast and efficient. Would return.

I brought my parents to Pho Viet for a light lunch and they loved it! They've never had Vietnamese food before so they were a bit skeptical but it turned out really well. We got a tofu banh mi, chicken banh mi and a veggie & tofu egg pho. Everything was so delicious. They have great options for everyone

Fabulous fresh food great atmosphere. Service is excellent. You will be so happy. It's one of the best Vietnamese restaurants. Parking pretty easy,

New favorite spot for banh mis! The service was fast, food was delicious, and the price was very reasonable. The restaurant itself is cafeteria style, so you order your food first then get seated yourself. The banh mi was super tasty. Incredibly crispy bread, a solid amount of pate, and fresh spicy jalapenos and vegetables amounted to a wonderful meal. I can't wait to come back and try the pho!

I'm happy they are getting a lot of business at the new location, so I was going to keep my experience to myself. But then there was a hair in my banh mi, so I'll share. I was praying it was just a cellulose thread from a veggie but, nope, it's a hair deep in the banh mi. Ugh. Gone are the days when you can peacefully stroll through Super 88's food court and easily get a banh mi or a pho. This new location is bustling and the employees seem over-stretched despite trying their best to be cheerful. That along with the hair experience seals it: never again.

So busy when I went for Sunday lunch! Yummy food, fast service, but not enough places to sit when I went in. I appreciate their seafood pho. Even on a hot day, the soup really hit the spot--flavor was good (not too salty), and their take out comes well put together. Great for a quick bite

Love this place! Had been searching for a solid tofu banh mi and I found it here. Will definitely add this to my takeout rotation.

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!
