12 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Cambridge

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“Best option for the summer, serve food fast but it’s apparently freshly made. Prices are reasonable, portions are big, I ordered one main and one side dish, it’s a bit too much for me with the main already, better share the side dishes with one other person. No unnecessary asking for excessive tips but always show up and provide the right service on time. And the taste is not compromised, it's just how Vietnamese food tastes. Will definitely visit again if I’m around.“

“This might just be one of the best bars in Boston - and we’re incredibly lucky to have it in Central Square. I visited with a friend and ordered the Duck and the Fluke, both of which were outstanding and paired perfectly with the Good Dealer and Honey Mousse Espresso cocktails. Our waiter, Langston, was an absolute superstar - attentive, warm, and on top of everything. My only regret is that the management was running such a smooth floor that I didn’t get a chance to personally let them know how great he was before we left. This is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for a great night out, whether with a friend or on a date.“

“My family had a wonderful dinner at Mae’s last night. The service was efficient, attentive without being obtrusive and warm. The food was excellent, flavorful, balanced, light. We had number of dishes…pork gyoza (we went back for 2nds on this one), spring rolls, basil fried rice (nice spice level…maybe a little more oil than needed), ma po tofu, general Tso’s Thai chicken, and pad Thai (the star of the show). The mocktails were fresh and complex. Will be back. Oh we made a reservation. Highly recommend doing so.“

“A block away from Central Sq, Cicada is one of our favorite for a cosy dinner.

We went there for the second time on a Friday night and had the chicken sticky rice, the salmon avocado tartare as well as the seared salmon rice together with a glass of sparkling wine. The food is inventive and flavorful with appropriate prices for the quality, although not cheap.

The perfect place for a date night in Cambridge!“

“Amazing little restaurant & bar. Great service and food. Went in on a whim as I just happened to be in the area. It was not too busy when I arrived and was able to get quick service. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a cute place to check out.“

“👍very good menu! Salmon is really good and fresh“

“Saw this cafe near Cambridge and decided to try it with some friends 😛✨

. What drew me in initially was the ube tiramisu, which is something I’ve never tried before. It was quite good and the ube flavor prevalent, but the only thing is the cake felt too cakey and not as soaked/moist as a tiramisu typically should be. However, the banh mi was SO good and the meat perfectly flavored. The bread was perfectly toasted and you could hear the slight crispness from biting into it. The Nutella walnut cookie was slightly too hard, which could’ve just been because it was overbaked or stale. However, the matcha was solid!

Service: It was quite packed in the cafe but the workers were so efficient, quick, and nice.

Atmosphere: It was quite hectic and crowded when I went on Saturday around noon. It gives very bustling busy cafe vibes and is the perfect place to chat with friends and study. Lots of windows and sunlight, cramped but abundant seating.

Overall, highly recommend this spot for a casual meetup and/or to get some quick studying done! Food was overall good!“

“Great atmosphere and incredibly nice staff! I love their scallion pork wrap, I incredibly recommend it. They give so much food at a just price & they also offer great discounts if you're a Hult student. I love this place, I totally recommend it for anyone in the area!“

“It was delicious speedy clean polite staff loved the place definitely going back with the family.“

“Got lunch here for the first time while working on the field in the Harvard IT department. I work around the West Campus a lot so I'm looking for more lunch spots. The kiosk is easy to use and navigate, the wait time was short. The pho was great and made for a nice warm bowl of broth and noodles in this cold weather. The noodles are well cooked. The broth was hot and had good seasoning. Lots of toppings and meat. My note of no lime and ginger was fulfilled.

However, my only complaint is that I also ordered a Brown Sugar boba milk tea and had to immediately spit it out as the taste of spoiled milk hit. I had my colleague at the office try it and he too also noticed it didn't taste like Brown Sugar boba milk tea and compared it to spoiled milk. I'm not going to give a 1 star because the review doesn't deserve that, but just a -1 for my drink. Might try again another day...but thanks for reading my review!“

“Everything was Fire 🔥 . Going back again soon.“
