I tried their minced chicken fried rice and the yellow curry . My wife had the vermicelli bun with beef . It tasted awesome!! This is an A+ joint serving really good Vietnamese and Thai food . Love it!

On a winter night, two things you could do to have a crispy warm feeling. 1) sit by a fireplace 2) come to Pho Basil and have some of the best aromatic hot vegetable soups in the city . Love Pho Chay

In pic, chicken mango curry ! Awesome spicy but no too much, on a choice of white rice or brown rice . This place is one of my boston's favorite! 10/10

Sasha Naomi

The basil and Thai fried rice are amazing! One a bit spicier than the other. Also the pho is my favorite on the east coast! Been a fan ever since my 2007 college days

My go-to pho spot in the area. (Do NOT go to Pho & I unless you'd like pho that tastes like tap water ). Great service and huge, tasty bowls of pho . It's a small place, so there might be a wait.

Food here is great. If you're new to pho , try the Dac Biet. Also, treat yourself to a mango bubble tea . The pho was perfectly prepared and reasonably priced. Bubble teas here are also very unique.

Mandy Kidney

I had the yellow curry with tofu and my boyfriend had a chicken peanut dish. They were both great. The house sake was good and the servers were very nice.

Xavier

Salmon Canh Chua in the picture. Really good, taste and a little spicy . I love this place i think never got disappointed!!! ????

Elaine Courtney

Two words: Seafood Pho ! I always ask for just shrimp , unless you like the eclectic mix which includes fish cake . Rice noodles always arrive cooked just right. My boyfriend swears by the rice plates!

Louis Mitas

Big portions . Shumai was excellent, as was the drunken noodle . They include a wide variety of seafood in the seafood dishes .

Naiara

Seafood Pho was amazing! And not too pricey . The green tea icecream was delicious. Lot of food at a reasonable price. Very crowded , though.

Lucas Gonzalez

Great Viethai resto. Good price and excellent food quality. Pad thai noodles are AMAZING!! With crispy chicken...OMG! Try them.

Minnie Kim

Spicy rangoons were AMAZING & the Pho was the perfect meal to end a rainy day. So delicious

Logan Leasure

Every pho on the menu is great. If you're not in the pho mood, the crispy pad Thai is the best anywhere.

Cheapism

The Pho here starts at $5.95, and their lunch menu has items for $6.95 that include rice . Their menu is huge, so you can try something different every time you come back to this hidden treasure . Read more

Trevor Wright

Can't go wrong with the classic Pho dishes, they have bowls big as your head and all under 10 bucks for soups . Taste was buttery and delicious. Tastes just as good as some of the West coast places.

Eugene Kim

Best Thai in the area. Hands down. Reasonable prices and great portions. Always fresh. My favorites are the Crispy Chicken Basil and Chicken Pad Gra Pow . Good Spicy Rangoons as well .

Maria

Seriously the best food around at very reasonable prices. Even if there's a line it always turns over pretty fast. This is a neighborhood fave for very good reasons!

Enrico Manalo

Really tasty bún thit nuong cha gio here, though this is the first place in Boston I’ve seen that charges for the cha gio.

Ashleigh Brooke

The pho was the best I've ever had. Single diners get less than stellar service, but it's worth it!

Nikki Siegs

So delicious, get the beef pho and the vermicelli bowls, great flavor!

Marco Malpica

Good food at good prices. They give you large portions in any dish you order. I highly recommend the Pat see you dish. Its delicious :)

Been here so many times, never a disappointing experience. Fresh ingredients , servers are nice and great prices!

It's all about the drunken noodles . Best in Boston. Go for lunch sometime: $7 for generous portions and much higher quality than their takeout .

J Engler

Food is delicious. Portions are large. Price is very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant .

Excellent tofu pad thai . Fresh food , pleasant helpful service , upbeat ambiance.

The pho here is great, but If you want the real hidden treasures this place offers you should get the drunken noodle with chicken . It's amazing!

Gina Buckner

Pho Ga , pad Thai , fried rice , summer rolls , gyoza are all great!

Fish basil is really delicious!

Kao Soi (curry noodle soup ) is amazing!
