Pho Viet’s

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!

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.

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
