During a rainy day I ordered oxtail pho. It was so good we know we had to make a lunch date to have it freshly made. My daughters got the Vietnamese coffee, oxtail, chicken, and pork & shrimp pho w/a seafood base. 👌🏾
It was so clean tasting and flavorful. The staff was super nice and intuitive to our needs.
Great restaurant! Great food! Great staff!

It’s a pretty small restaurant. I was very impressed with the bun bo hue. I haven’t had good bun bo hue since leaving California to Boston. This will be my new Vietnamese spot for that dish. They have other dishes too but I haven’t tried them yet.

Portion size is a little misleading. I ordered the short rib bun bo hue. On their website, the dish is pictured with a decently big piece of beef rib, but I only received a small piece.
Good taste and flavor, though. Not sure if it was just an off day, but I would’ve appreciated a bit more.

Food was okay. Took over 30min for my food to come out and the servers didn’t even pay attention to our table… they are just all hype from social media, there’re better spots in Dorchester

WOW! This place is the real deal. Best viet iced coffee I’ve had on the Ave, I’ve never seen banh mi bo kho on a menu and it was a TREAT, the bread was crispy, soft, and warm and the beef was insanely tender. Server was really kind and fast. Beautiful environment inside as well. It looked pricey at first, but between the portions and quality, it’s actually quite reasonable.

I ordered about ~$100 worth of takeout food for some friends. The order was delayed by >30 minutes, but this was understandable due to how many people were at the restaurant - they couldn't meet the demand, but the greeter was quite unprofessional. However, half of the dinner guests complained of upset stomach and bloating later that night or in the morning. Would not recommend.

Amazing food here! I always come here with my family for a late night bite and it never fails to amaze me how fresh and fast the food comes out! The service is fast and efficient! I always come here for the banh cuon and it’s THE BEST!! Definitely would recommended trying it!

We had Bún bò Huế , lemongrass sausages & bánh cuốn. Very authentic Suggests to have the option for customers to choose smaller portion
Stamp of approval from my Vietnamese parents 😋 and they are hard critics. Delicious, authentic, and quite possibly one of the most delicious pho broths Ive tasted. Everything we had was amazing- bun bo hue was great, the Banh Cuon especially is very hard to find a place that actually cooks it fresh like here or even offering dumplings in banana leaf- banh bot loc is my favorite. They also do not skimp out on the necessary garnishes for each prospective soup dish (which a lot of restaurants nowadays do to cut costs). So please use your garnishes do not waste the beautiful herbs! This is authentic food they are serving, on top of the craft tea drinks were are beautiful and also delicious- this place is a gem.

Vietnamese made with heart. I got it takeaway. Had the Bun Hue. Not your usual pho and bun on the menu. The broth is flavorful and all the fixings were prepared with care. Even the onions were dried crispy red onions. Definitely want to try other items on their menu.

Gao Vietnamese Kitchen has won my heart over or should I say my stomach..haha
If you love Vietnamese food then Gao is a must-visit gem with its authentic and unique cuisine that truly impresses on every level. Each dish we savored at this cute and cozy Dorchester restaurant was a culinary treat and delight, hitting all the right spots, from the lip-smacking banh coun to the addictive chicken and banana blossom salad, every bite was a journey of flavors.
The free ice tea added a touch of authenticity to the dining experience as if I were back in Vietnam. The vegetarian pho and fresh spring rolls were exceptional, showcasing the diverse offerings on their extensive menu that’s priced right for the large portions. Moreover, the warm and diligent staff elevated our dining experience, ensuring every detail was perfect. The owner Sy Le was the nicest guy, he really cares about his customers and his employees and it shows!
Gao Vietnamese Kitchen is a standout among Vietnamese restaurants, capturing both heart and stomach with its delicious food and exceptional service.
