Soall Viet Kitchen

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough! We arrived as a group of five, and even though the place is small, the server was kind enough to accommodate us by putting two tables together. The server (Lily) was wonderfully kind and professional, and did not seem remotely stressed even though she was the only server that night and it was the height of the dinner rush. A sixth person even joined us later on, and Lily seamlessly added her order to the table’s. The food was superb and absolutely hit the spot. We ordered a variety of dishes, all of which were delicious. We will definitely be going back!

My family and I have eaten at Soall on many occasions. Sometimes we plan it and look forward to it.. Other times we spontaneously choose to go for dinner. Every single time we've eaten at Soall it has been a pleasure and the food has been terrific. There is a high level of cuisine with the ingredients, the execution, and delivery. I appreciate their commitment to their craft as well as efforts for the patrons. I highly recommend Soall as one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you.

Sa and Mia and their whole staff are also kind and welcoming. The Pork belly barn mi Is fantastic, as well as the pho. When I want something sweet, a Vietnamese iced coffee and sesame ball are perfect.

The food was to die PHO!!! Some of the best pho I have had. Clean, healthy and extremely flavorful. Also, succulent braised ribs with a killer sauce that struck the perfect balance of savory, sweet and spicy. Most importantly, made with love from the ❤️ I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the owners, Sa. She is keeping her culture alive through food. I encourage everyone to give it a try. #soallvietkitchen #twentyphoseven #phogetaboutit

Fantastic Vietnamese food! Fresh and very tasty. Great service and nice background music.

The food at Soall Viet is the freshest you can imagine. It is prepared with such attention. I have never had a bad meal there. It has become my and my family's #1 choice when dining out or for take out.

While saddened when the other Beverly location closed, we're thankful to still have access to the fresh, flavorful, and fabulous Vietnamese cuisine at Soall Viet Kitchen. The expanded evening hours have made it possible for us to continue to enjoy our favorite phos and rice bowls. And one bonus of this location is ease of parking.

I've been to the Beverly location several times. The food is always fresh and tasty, my favorites include the clay pot salmon and chicken, Pho and mango slaw. Wait staff are pleasant and efficient.

I ordered pho delivery which was packaged very well and easy to assemble at home. Everything was delicious.

They offer a good variety of vegan options which all kind of taste the same. We ordered the vegan eggrolls which were dripping in oil, but still pretty good, the vegan pho soup, which didn't have much flavor to it, and the noodles were all broken apart, and a vegan noodle stirfry. I would say the noodle stirfry was the best item we ordered and the only item I would re order. The soup and noodles had the same vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, carrots, onions, and included fried tofu. The service was good and food came out pretty quick. It was really hot in the restaurant, but the ambience was nice.

I just ordered lunch, shrimp spring roll and chicken pho, and it was nearly inedible. The greens in the spring roll were not cleaned and I had to pick out brown lettuce. Yuck! Plus, the greens to noodles ratio was way off. If I wanted salad, I would make one. The pho broth was greasy and a very strange brown color, odd for chicken broth. It tasted awful. The chicken was beyond overcooked and dry. There was an over abundance of cilantro which seemed to replace actual seasoning. I suspect this broth was not freshly made today. I won't go here again. Food is just terrible. Too bad bc it used to be great.

Best phô in town! Soall is our comfort food - everything is delish! The claypot and stir fry are excellent and the Brussels sprouts - chef's kiss!!

I'm sad to say this place has gone downhill over the past year. The last 4orders I picked up were barely edible. They are constantly out of items too. I'm not planning to order from them again unless they work on their menu and staff.

Lovely setting with spacious seating and light open atmosphere. We were promptly greeted and our order was taken not too long after sitting down. I ordered a Beef and Broccoli with noodles and I quite enjoyed it. Can't wait to visit again!

Perfect for lunch on a brisk day. Portions are HUGE and reasonably priced. Flavoring is very good. I liked my chicken curry soup. Clean restaurant that felt very spacious.

The food is a 4. Not much to choose from in Marblehead and surrounding towns so that grade is relative. Three star rating is because the literal kids who work at this place are simply dumb. They ALWAYS make a less than minor mistake and it's almost like none of them have ever been to a restaurant before when they try to make up for it. Try talking baby talk to them and maybe it goes ok. They all seem to be high school students, but it's Marblehead so I doubt any of them need the job bad enough to care. I once ordered a side of broth, not on the menu but something most soup places will do for a few dollars if you ask them. The genius at the counter tried to charge me for a whole bowl of Pho. The container they put it in was made of unlined paper and began disintegrating and spilled in my car and then came apart as I was walking inside and burned my hand. Another time I witnessed a woman come back because there was a paltry amount of shrimp in her entree and they were trying to charge for making up for it by giving her a normal amount. Just idiots. To be fair the hispanic adults, clearly not oblivious Marblehead teenagers, who work the day shifts are friendly and highly competent.

It's Americanized Vietnamese food. And I appreciate authentic flavors. Service is good - applauses to our server - Odin. Nice and clean place though.

Lovely healthy local option with delicious food that is always fresh. A favorite takeout spot particularly in the winter for their pho. Also a big fan of the noodle bowls, pork buns and fresh spring rolls

I only wish this place was open more days of the week. Authentic Vietnamese food - try the fresh shrimp rolls, the soups and the banh mi! Sooo goood.

I love this place! The food is so good and always satisfies, the meats melt in your mouth and the menu has a great selection. This would probably be my favorite Vietnamese food around here!

Yikes. Would like to be supportive of Soall but the quality control left when the owners moved to the Beverly restaurant. Wonderful concept for an Asian restaurant in Marblehead but it's gone down hill like a rolling stone. Ordered the beef pho with beef on the side and received questionable pieces of "rare" uncooked beef. Showed it to the counter people at check out who told me, "that's how we receive the beef". Really? maybe you nuked frozen beef? The more authoritative of the 2 turned on her heel and walked behind the kitchen curtain. You accept raw beef with brown splotches and sell it to your customers? Great broth - really great broth but horrible beef and service 'tude". Enjoy at risk but enough is enough. This restaurant will fail (like most in Marblehead) eventually because they are absent owners and have school kids running the business. Enjoy! Ambiance is close to dire overlooking a parking lot and high beams shining in your eyes but that's the vibe!

This place is great! I always order the chicken pho soup. Great portion size and always taste super fresh. I normally order take out which does not take more than 15 minutes. It is a cute place down in Marblehead would definitely recommend this place!

Coming from a Vietnamese background I thought I would give it a try. Ordered a chicken sprjng roll and a shrimp spring roll, the chicken was really dry and the greens to noodle ratio was off, to much greens it over-powered the noddles. The shrimp spring roll was mediocre. As a main dish I ordered the chicken pho and just to much fat around the bowl and in the soup, I had to scoop what I could out. The flavor was ok with a bit on the salty side. The service was good but the young lady who took my ordered took about ten minutes to get me a diet coke. The setting is very nice and clean.As I was eating I see smoke coming from behind the counter so I stood up to check what was going on and I see the young girl vaping. That was the final straw so I paid and left very disappointed.

Excellent food!!!! (really awesome) And yet garbage wine and shitty web site for ordering (via Toast - they totally suck - login denied)

Awesome! MH or Bev, either one is awesome! I am a pescatarian and as such have plenty to choose from. The brussels sprouts are to die for but really everything on the menu is exceptional! Whether dining in, taking out, or having delivered, meals are always consistently yummy! And the staff is amazing and everyone you encounter will make for a lovely experience.

Marblehead probably isn't the first place that comes to mind when you decide you want Vietnamese cuisine, but it probably should be. Soall Bistro is delicious. I've been wanting to try them forever, and I found out about them because of their pop-up, Nightshade, which is doing some really innovative cuisine (no, I haven't been, because I always miss them when I'm home). Soall is cute and modern and I like that they have a decent-sized to-go/waiting area as well as a welcoming dining room. The service is fantastic. I forget my server's name but I loved her. For my meal, I started with the shrimp goi cuon (always a favorite of mine) and grilled beef and betel leaves. I then opted for the lunch special, a 1/2 bun bowl with a side of cucumber salad. The goi cuon was super fresh, and I like that you can order just one roll. I have no words to describe the grilled beef and betel leaves. You just have to order it. It is so fragrant and so flavorful. The leaves are slightly crisp and the beef is tender. I don't think I've ever had anything like it. Do not miss this item. As for the bun, I was quite side they didn't offer pork, as bun cha is my go-to. I opted for chicken, as I already had beef and shrimp. I didn't care for the chicken--it was underseasoned and slightly dry. But all the ingredients were fresh, and I kept some of the tamarind sauce from the betel leaves appetizer to add into it, along with the nuoc cham, and that mix worked well. I enjoyed my cucumber and Thai basil salad, which was quite refreshing. I wanted to return to try more on the menu, but did not get a chance during this trip. I'll definitely be back when I visit again and will bring my dad (mainly so he can pay, but also because he needs to try Soall). I'd be a regular if I still lived on the North Shore.

I've been to a ton of pho spots, Soall by all accounts is a rarity among the many. The owners really get it. From the atmosphere, where their dining room aesthetics are simple and distressed enough to warrant a sense of familiarity. To their playful menu. The Chef, carries a personal and thoughtful point of view that speaks effectively and is executed very well. When was the last time you saw tuna tartare, braised pork ribs, whole fried snapper, or pho with bone marrow and poached eggs as options for a Vietnamese restaurant? Soall Bistro, cares about their food and they're inviting those that have dared to have wanted more from a Vietnamese dining experience to push their palates and join them. They've left nothing to chance. Even their service is not the norm. Nikki, our server was outstanding. She made us feel completely welcomed and comfortable while anticipating our needs throughout service. She was professional and charming while checking in at the right moments to make sure everything was up to Soall standard. To rush a long story shorter, I'm already planning the next trip and if you haven't you should plan yours too.

First time ordering take out with family. I tried their pork banh mi which was decent, but not as flavorful as I'm used to. Ingredients were still fresh and pork had some fat on it which I appreciated. Would be willing to try more items to get a better feel of their overall menu.

We order delivery from Soall in Marblehead ever 10 day or so. On 5/7/21 someone forgot to include the rice and side for the claypot salmon. This has happened one time before. The first time it happened, I called and the person answering the phone had a new claypot made and sent over with rice and side right away. That's the correct response when you screw up. On the 7th the person answering the phone suggested I could come over and pick up the item they forgot or they could credit me back for the entree. She said it was hard to do anything else because of the delivery service. I don't think it's an acceptable solution for me to come pick something up that I paid $5 delivery and $5 tip on. Sadly, we're taking a break from Soall. Also, I never saw a credit on my card for the entree.

Inconsistent beyond what any restaurant that wants to stay in business should be. Nothing ever seems to be prepared the same way twice. How can this be? They seem to bring in cooks who do whatever the hell they want, following no recipes. So one day grilled Vietnamese pork is prepared one way and the next it looks like it was prepared by a vegan who disdains the very thought of meat. This is just an example. Place has been in business for a while now. They had their act together for a time, but are losing it with lousy cooks who don't know Vietnamese cuisine. Bland doesn't begin to describe what they are putting out.

I visited Vietnam for 6 weeks and upon my return all I wanted was fresh and authentic Vietnamese food...well thank you SOALL! If I could give it 6 stars I would! Things to try: -Tofu Pho -Eggplant Spring Rolls -Vegetarian Vermacelli Bowl -Chicken Clay Pot (I haven't had this myself, but whenever I go with people they get it and rave about it so it must be good) It does get very crowded so be prepared for that. If you're impatient just order take out (like I just did 20 minutes ago).

Amazing!! Best Vietnamese food I've ever had!! So fresh and delicious!! Great choices for both vegan and meat eaters. Great staff too, our waiter was extremely knowledgeable of the menu and Vegan options!

Friendly atmosphere and pretty space, but quite disappointing. Dishes were not very flavorful and on the bland side. I assumed that because the owners are Vietnamese, the food would be the real deal. Unfortunately, it was so-so. One in our party is Vietnamese and was utterly confused by the lack of flavor. Entire front and kitchen staff looked like local high schoolers-sweet and friendly, but I thought that at least one of the owners would be managing the actual cooking. The spring and summer rolls were okay-ish; cucumber salad with Thai basil was awful. The dressing was not mixed through and the basil just tossed on top. The banh mi- best part was the baguette. Not very spicy and the mayo was non existent. Really a shame :( For more authentic Vietnamese, definitely head to Lynn, Quincy or Chinatown in Boston.

I like this place. The atmosphere is pretty chill, it's clean and simplistic. The menu is rather small but I will assume that means they can focus on providing a better product. I love Vietnamese Beef Pho, and so that's what I ordered along with some spring rolls. I knew that with this place being located in Marblehead that it would be missing what makes Pho most authentic which is tendon and tripe. I was right and there was nothing on the menu that would suggest that I could get those items with my order. The only option I was given was brisket which was additional $$. The presentation of the dish wasn't very exciting at all, it looked much less full than what I would get at many other places. The only ingredient that would make this a meal I would return for, is if the broth was on point. I was NOT disappointed. The broth was fantastic, I would say a bit above average. The rolls were very good as well. With that said I would return and try another dish

I would have to say that this is one of the finest restaurants in Marblehead, if not the whole north shore area. Some of the freshest, most wonderful food I've had the pleasure of enjoying. The smoked tea glazed quail is seriously out of this world - probably one of my top ten dishes of all time. PLEASE do yourself a favor and try it - I've never had quail cooked more perfectly. Lunch menu is a steal as well. The service deserves a whole 'nother five stars of it's own. Such friendly, warm, and lovely people who are obviously huge supporters of what they are serving. You can tell when a restaurant runs well and treats their employees with respect! Love this place.

Soall is clean, stylish, fresh - I've never been disappointed and the staff is extremely polite. Would absolutely recommend the boiling hott salmon claypot or the tofu puffs + bok choy vermicelli noodle bowl for dinner.

Sadly this place, once our twice a week go-to, has decided to fix what wasn't broken. The first sign of "improvements" was about three months ago, when they had blaring music that included commercials. Then we started to notice some things dropping off the menu. Final straw last week was when the vegetarian pho was removed from the menu. So, that's that. During the last meal we heard three people asking for it, and yesterday alone I had two friends (separately) tell me they had been in to warm up during the cold, only to be told their veggie pho was gone. Hopefully they will learn that they didn't have anything to fix in the first place, and that people were not going there for a high end dining experience.

This a very casual place with a limited menu. Not a place for a romantic dinner. But what they do they do well. They do a lot of takeout business. There's plenty of parking, which isn't always the case in Marblehead.

Delicious food in a cute little setting in downtown Marblehead. The service was great and the food was super fresh. They have both sit down and take out. Will definitely be back.

Went to Soall Bistro with my wife on what had to be one of the coldest nights of the year. I'm originally from the North Shore, and we were in town for our tenth wedding anniversary. The service was attentive, but a little oppressive, in that people seemed a bit too eager to confirm our choices. We started off with the pork ribs (waiter: 'good choice!') and the spring rolls -- both were quite tasty. But as the restaurant started to fill, the service began to lag a bit. We waited and waited for our bowls of pho, which we figured -- since it was the coldest night of the year -- would be perfect. What better than a hot bowl of Vietnamese soup? When our pho finally did arrive (what took so long?), mine was hot. My wife's, however, was bonkers. The bowl was warm, but her soup was COLD. Cold as the frosty, wintry night outside. I just couldn't figure this situation out, which seemed to defy physics. When the waiter came over to check, we sent the cold pho back to be microwaved. The waiter did this all in good humor, but...you know, it's SOUP, and serving cold soup to any patron on a freezing night (heck, any night!) should have been instantly 'comped.' It wasn't. While we were waiting for the soup to reappear, the waiter came over and asked me if I wanted sangria -- that 'she' had heard me mumble something about sangria. This was totally bizarre -- not only did I not want sangria, or say anything about it, but who was potentially eavesdropping on me and assigning me some random beverage? Anyway, my wife's soup reappeared, and we left to head off into the brisk arctic vortex.

Delicious. BBQ Banh Mi was excellent, but the pork ribs stole the show. Honestly everything we ordered was great. Ordering online was super quick and easy.

For many years this was a weekly date night spot for me and my wife. We loved the menu, the wait staff, the owner, the Pho, the list went on. It has been over for many months and now I need to admit I won't be back. Whatever wasn't broken, they tried to fix. New menu-ugh. Pho- ugh. Reliables to go like the cabbage salads - gone. Nice people still, but not a product I want. Crowds gone too.

This restaurant is consistently terrible with customer service, this is the fourth attempt that I have made over the last year to call-in an order. Guess what, the order after I get home once again I find out my order is wrong, half the items are missing. My personal recommendation is for you to close your doors and sell your business as your service sucks.

Several people here requested vegetarian dishes, and Soall has a good selection for them. The caramelized eggplant Banh Mi was enjoyed even by someone who doesn't normally like eggplant. The stir fry was nicely spiced. All of the people working there were wearing masks, unlike too many other places I have been to lately. Thank you Soall for caring about your customers' health.

I have always loved soall until this evenings experience. I have gotten take out from there several times since their opening (against my husbands wishes as he believes it to be overly expensive with small portions that aren't filling). Loved many things on their menu and was always excited for my meal. Well this evening we decided to place an order for take out and saw that they had a new menu. Bummed that so many of my favorites were taken off the menu but decided to still give it a shot. I'm sorry I did. The pho was barely cooked and did not taste good at all. The noodles were undercooked, they only used dark chicken meat, and not fixable by any means. Very disappointed and will be taking this off my go to list of restaurants for Marblehead.

My girlfriends and I just enjoyed another great meal at Soall Bistro, this time for lunch. They have gone through some transitions in the last 6 months, and though I have NEVER had anything but a fresh and delicious meal here, all the new menu and service kinks (if there were any) are well in the past. I enjoyed a $12 lunch combo which is the best deal around. I paired a light but flavorful vermicelli with barbecued sausage (served on a lemongrass skewer - yum!) with an adorable portion of the coconut curry soup. It was more than enough food. My friends had pho with all the fixins and we shared a delicious shrimp toast appetizer. (I recommend getting your own, they're too good to share!) The service was friendly and proficient as ever and the management was present and accommodating without being overbearing. Soall remains one of our favorites for lunch AND dinner!

This cuisine is UNBELIEVABLE! All their food is delicious and made so well. The customer service is great and the workers are so kind! I totally recommend for anyone who likes Vietnamese food.

I love any broth or soup dish, and this is the best spot for a good soup in Marblehead. Also, in a town of fried seafood and lobster rolls, this is a welcome change up !

Nice restaurant, tends to get busy at dinner time. They offer a fusion menu and have young energetic wait staff. Good place for a semi-casual meal.

I love that the food is fresh and very good quality. The staff are always friendly and aim to please. It is definitely one of my go-to's. Thanks SOALL !

So far... so GOOD! Great little hidden gem in the coastal sailing town of Marblehead. Friendly staff and fast service. Got my first takeout order of Shrimp Spring Rolls (Yelpers rave about them here) and the Chicken Curry Soup. Fragrant curry blended with chicken meat was worth the 10 bucks. Glad I discovered this rare Vietnamese restaurant here. They are few and far between on the North Shore. And it looks like they're expanding next door so life is good at Soall Bistro! I'll be back for a sit down dinner soon!

Ordered takeaway. Very friendly, professional service. Fresh, clean ingredients and frankly yummy food. Sweet potato and Shrimp fitters were super good. Highly recommend and as good as anywhere we'd eat in NY

This has to be the very best Vietnamese inspired restaurant and menu that we have had. The menu is approachable. The staff is super friendly and the dishes are not only artful in their platting but out of this world in terms of flavor! Try them out!!!

I have tried to give the "new" Soall a chance several times and have been utterly disappointed several times. The new menu is too limited and the dinner chicken salad is way overpriced and tastes very strong of red onions; in fact, that's basically all I could taste when I had it recently. The only thing I would ever order here anymore is the Pho or clay pot. So sad because I loved this place before.

This would have been 5 stars if I reviewed it a few months ago. The whole menu changed for the worse and got more expensive. The pho was my favorite and now I find the chicken and broth to be terrible with the changes they made. All of my wife's favorite meals have been eliminated or changed for the worse. I hope it is only a seasonal change. I wrote them an email last week with no response. This was my favorite place in Marblehead and ordered take out at least once a week from here and have dined in several times. I won't be back until I hear the Pho has changed they bring back the other meals we liked.

Like another reviewer, I use to love Soall food and we were frequent take-out flyers! The past several times we have been very disappointed. Not only has the pho changed but the overall quality of the dishes has gone down. For example, the shrimp sweet potato fritters used to be excellent, but they are not the same. If they're not missing the shrimp entirely (just fried grated sweet potato) -- they have a few specks of shrimp in them. The egg rolls taste like they frozen supermarket ones, the shrimp toast that used to be great is chewy and hard, the salmon clay pot is okay, the ginger lobster is just ok and overpriced for the tiny portion, but again the big disappointment is the pho. I miss the old Saoll.

I'll join the list of (now former) frequent visitors to whom the drastic menu makeover does not appeal. The dishes we look forward to are gone; the two appetizers we often get (shrimp fritters and spring roll) were NOT the same quality, and of course, the prices went up. Too bad; this place was unique around here, not sure what can take its place. If you've never gone before, by all means, GO! You might like it a lot! If you have not been in a while, you may be disappointed by the change.
