Absolutely delicious Soups here I had Bo Kho Banh Mi Tender beef with a great broth and bahn mi The Chao was very good. Gạo Vietnamese Kitchen has 4.9 stars in a town with a huge Viet population. Street parking is a huge plus. 5 Thumbs Up

Attention to details... Amazing service, condiments, balanced portions, and even better food. I got their signature hu tieu nam vang (Phnom penh noodles) which is a seafood pork bones broth with seafood and pork and crunchy pork chicharrons. You can get it with broth and noodle (egg or rice or combo) separate. Can't wait to try the other things in their menu like the snails cooked in salty egg yolk sauce or the wild boar in curry

Lovely spot! Tasty food with a number of rarer dishes to find (at least based on availability where I'm from). Quite enjoyed the oxtail hue soup, and look forward to trying the snails next time!

BBH portion was small, especially for the price, but the taste was great. Had to add a lot of sate to get it spicy, but the base broth is good for those with milder tolerances. Service was very kind and prompt and the space is clean.

I'd love to see larger portions in the future! Would come back

This is the closest hủ tiếu nam vang taste of vietnam I have tried so far in Boston area. Believe me, that is how rare around here for Vietnamese food.
So this means, you will get good food here.
PS: Hủ tiếu nam vang is clear broth pork soup with rice chewy noodles. The toppings are pork intestines (optional). This is a variant of southern noodle soup influenced Cambodian cooking.

It's been a while since I've seen a menu without the "signature" dishes typically expected in a Vietnamese restaurant like pho or grilled meat vermicelli. And it impressed me a lot. The bánh bột lọc was superb! I dare to say even better than the street food banh bot loc I had in Hanoi. Bun bo Hue was flavorful, and what pleasantly surprised me the most was the Chao long! I didn't expect to find this dish in the US at all at a reasonable price. A healthy amount of intestines and good portion. The chicken salad would be better if the meat was more firm. Overall, amazing experience! The atmosphere and service was pleasant was well

Second time to Gao and yet disappointed again as their specialties are sold out. I tried their hu tiu the first time, bun mam this time and both are delicious! Good portion size and service is attentive.

Just... WOW! The main dishes on the menu here were mostly unfamiliar (which checks out with other reviews that state this is typically home cooking). This was the very best Vietnamese food I've ever had and it makes me wish I lived in the area.
Server was extremely courteous and able to give me suggestions based on gluten free and my preferences.
The cha gio were to die for, well made, very hot, perfectly rolled, and well filled with meat and vegetables. The fish sauce dipping sauce wasn't watered down.
I choose hu tiu suon non as my meal and it was a flavor sensation... rice noodles, different cuts of pork, vegetables, and a wonderful melding of spices. My only challenge was that the spare ribs are bone in, so I had to do a quick Google to figure out the polite way to eat them with my chopsticks.
Tldr, if you're in the area, GO HERE.

Dietary restrictions: Server was very careful in confirming with me about allergens.

Parking: Somewhat challenging to find parking, but I was eventually victorious 2 blocks away

After a week vacationing in Boston, I was craving Vietnamese food the entire time I was in Boston. Stumbling across this restaurant on Google and reading the rave reviews, thought why not give it a try. Staff was really friendly when I came in, and encouraged me to ask questions about the menu. I ended up choosing the Hue Beef noodle with pork knuckle. It was pretty good until I discovered that the pork knuckle wasn't cleaned properly, there was a copious amount of hair that should have been cleaned off prior to serving.

Food came very fast and the restaurant was clean
