Was looking for a lunch place on our way to Legoland. Unfortunately, this place disappointed us. The bean sprouts were bad but was still served to us. We also ordered "pork chop on rice" (a popular Vietnamese dish) and was served mystery meat instead. They did remove this from our bill when we said the dish was not what we expected. Beef was not served in our pho (used pork instead, which is a cheaper meat). They also did not have any special drinks (smoothies or teas), even though it's listed on the menu. The server said it was unavailable. We likely won't come back here.
I stumbled across this place while looking for another restaurant and thought I’d give it a try. I started with the fresh spring rolls with chicken (wrapped in rice paper). They were pretty good. I tried the grilled chicken and vegetables pho. They offer it in large and extra large. I did the large. I ate all I could and I’ve still got more than half to take home. Definitely large portions. Overall, I think this place is pretty good. Nothing negative to say. I’ll come back next time I’m in town.
very nice place, very fast service, excellent food, and very nice workers.
Amazing restaurant with a lovely selection of food. Very clean overall and the staff is nice! This place is great for a date, family outing, or a quick meal! It is a family own style restaurant which is rare these days. I've been to many asian restaurants in Boston and this is a local gem that I highly recommend!
Wonderful Pho restaurant they do offer more as well. The Crab Rangoon was delicious. The Quail was tasty with its tangy sauce. The broth for everything is to die for! You have to try the wonton soup, the dumplings are delicious. They also have great n/a beverages. Top two or the Thai tea and the honeydew.
Flying out to Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi tomorrow and staying at a hotel down the road. Thought it would be nice to do some prep work before the trip. All I can say is that if this food is any representation of what we have to look forward to we may not survive this trip. So delicious and fresh with rich amazing flavors. We were in heaven. Top it off with amazing service and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off our trip. Definitely worth going!
New Saigon not only serves the best phố, it's also the most GENEROUS portion around. And I only got the large (there's an XL!). I know I'm lame for getting crab rangoons but the kicker was finding out they have chunks of REAL crab meat. Amazing. The service is incredible and the waitress is always a delight. I enjoyed my dinner alone but there's a lot of seating, invite your friends & family to this gem of a restaurant!
Great sandwiches.. I've tried to crab rangoons they're very good and also the bun mi pork and the chicken and the beef All three of them are highly recommend it fresh vegetables and they're pretty quick with their service.
