PhoREAL? The only thing real about this place is how overpriced it is. $14 for a Banh Mi is crazy, I would rather troop it to Dorchester and get Ba Le for cheaper. The iced coffee does not taste anything like vietnamese iced coffee.

Excellent food and service, but no functional website and incorrect posted hours (which change frequently) which has led to me showing up with it closed or closing on me on multiple occasions.

Boston, please eat here and fall in love with Vietnamese food. This place has it. Great outdoor dining, and the freshest ingredients with the owners special take on his pho and really non-greasy fresh delicious tasty food Vietnamese food is renowned for its balance of flavors, freshness, and use of healthy ingredients. Check it out here. Get the Pho, grilled shrimp vermicelli. The shrimp were perfectly grilled and obviously the freshest you can get. No added sauces but just pure beautiful seafood flavor. Check this place out.

We decided to sit outside because there wasn't any airflow inside and it was hot. Even though there were high chairs available, they told us they didn't have any. I'm going to assume the waiter meant they couldn't be taken outside. I'm not sure why, but they didn't say.

We ordered the pho dac biet, chicken wings, and fresh summer rolls. Chicken wings were ok. The fresh rolls were packed with lettuce and it seemed like 1 vermicelli noodle (see pic). The pho was extremely bland and the meat was very tough. Not even close to being worth $26.

Overall service was average, but the food was very lacking. They also added grat, which was stated for parties of 4 or more. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

We were not a fan of the appetizers but the pho was really good. Fried spring rolls were good but the chicken wings were not. Chicken and beef pho were delicious.

Decent food but not quite up to expectations. The inside was a bit dark, not the nicest compared to other newbury street restaurants. Our service was not great either — first our waitress tired to take our order about 15 seconds after we sat down, and also never refilled our water which is something i like to see.

The pho itself was okay, still enjoyable but did not have much beef and in my opinion would have been better priced at $15 than $20. The spring rolls were good, i liked the sauce, I wish they put carrots and cucumbers or something else inside of them.

Overall fine if you want pho and happen to be in the area, otherwise id say find some place better

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pho and tofu options like spring rolls

Parking: Newbury street is hard to park near
