“We consider ourselves foodies and ordered take out last week and the food was delicious! In addition the staff was super friendly and gave some great advice on what to order. Great portion sizes. Today my husband and I returned and dined in. Again, the food was so good and people working there were so nice! We will definitely return as well as spread the word to our friends. Go Viet Citron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“Stopped by Pho and Rice in Somerville and ended up switching my order from takeout to dine-in at the last minute. The staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating, and the food was excellent. The pho came with all the trappings and was deeply satisfying, comforting, and genuinely delicious.“

“Fresh, flavorful and excellent portion sizes. Staff is very helpful and friendly. So good!!! Ready fast, too.“

“Second visit. First time I wasn’t sure I would return because maybe it was when they first opened, didn’t figure things out yet and it was a weekend. It was slammed. Messy prep area. Foam everywhere

We just went on a weekday. Opposite experience. Empty. Clean. And the food - wow. Got the stew and was floored. An aunty brought it out within 7 min of ordering. So much depth of flavor. I’ve always wanted a place that offered real food for breakfast. Not pastries. I’ve finally found it. Bread was meh.

Coffee was good. Not my style because it’s more dessert style but amazing if you like that kinda thing. Custard on egg coffee was silky but very sweet. Coconut was tasty but again too sweet for me. Not sure if we can do a less sweet option or if the sugar is necessary for the custard texture. Great food presentation. For here coffee was served in plastic. Would rather glass. Straws weren’t the right shape (too narrow/ bent so couldn’t work with thick drinks). Coffee custard made to order so it’s definitely awesome but not a quick drink to grab on the way to work.

Still things to sort out but hope they stick around.“

“I ordered the grilled beef Sandwich, egg rolls and spring rolls. Everything I ate was delicious and fresh tasting.“

“Market noodle is one of our favorite restaurants in Arlington Center. The food has always tasted fresh and delicious! Our favorites include, the Saigon salad which is such a satisfying delight! Comes with good portions of poached shrimp and steamed chicken over shredded veggies in a delicious homemade sauce I could dip everything into. Garlic udon noodles and the drunken noodles are also amazing! You won’t be disappointed! They’re always so pleasant and happy to take care of their guests. We hope they never leave Arlington Center !“

“You know it’s going to be great when the staff’s speaking Vietnamese to each other. My wife and I got the banh hoi bowl with crispy pork belly and it was fire! It was home cooking level good. They were also able to accommodate a peanut and tree nut allergy.“

“Good place for a quick and satisfying lunch. These banh mi’s are served on fresh shatteringly crispy bread and they are filled with the protein of your choice plus jalapeño slices, cilantro, mayo and carrot and daikon pickle. I see some reviews complain about no pate but that is usually only in the cold cut banh mi. Staff are helpful and efficient. We got our food made to order in just a few minutes.“

“Order a banh mi sandiwch from Saigon Tiger, a new store on Relish. 1st delivery is late, not a good start from a new relish venue. hopefully the food is better than the prep for the delivery. Got my BBQ pork Bahn Mi dleivered not as late as was suggested by Relish. It was delicious, nice portion, great bread, plenty of jalapenos. Definitely will order again.“

“Was nostalgic out of the blue for vietnamese food since visiting Texas. This restaurant might be the best I've had: All the food was delicious, came out exceptionally quickly, and at a good deal. The staff was also very accommodating to my meal alt requests. Gladly tipped in Cash.“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“I finally found the best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Amazing Vietnamese food! The broken rice, rare beef salad, and shaken beef, pho were all excellent, and the drinks were refreshing. Friendly staff, generous portions, and great value. Definitely coming back!“

“My husband and I love coming to banh mi cafe, it’s one of our neighborhood go-to’s. It’s especially great to pick up a banh mi for a little picnic across the street, or by the library, which is advised bc they only have three counter seats.

Everyone here at banh mi cafe is efficient and welcoming, so service is quick. You can easily order at the kiosk if you’re feeling antisocial, the the staff are open to answering questions too. I usually go with the standard deli meat sandwich which is phenomenal. I tried their bbq pork and their lemongrass tofu last night. Both were super tasty, but I’m always nostalgic for a traditional banh mi personally. However, the lemongrass tofu was honestly a sleeper hit. It’s really flavorful and has such a nice contrasting texture against their French bread. Highly recommend it here! Their fresh rolls are also fantastic—extremely crisp, I think they add chive in it? It’s great, whatever it is lol. I will say, in the dozens of times I’ve been, they have only sold out of bread once after 6/6:30pm, but when I tell you I was absolutely devastated…so get there early if you can!“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“I have been coming here for years. This place has been serving solid Vietnamese food for decades. The food is excellent and has always been excellent. The quality has not changed in 30 years.
The prices are very reasonable. They haven't caught up as much as a lot of other southeast Asian restaurants in town.
Service is fast and friendly as well.“

“Pho 1 has changed a lot and I’ve been going there for years. Last night I ordered the beef soup for take out and when I got home and opened it the meat was like shredded and not the same consistency that had been in the past. These are hard times for all of us and giving customers scraps is no acceptable. I will go again later in the year and see if they have improved.“

“Had pho and the fresh spring rolled with grilled beef, phenomenal!“

“The food is absolutely DELICIOUS!! We ordered the seafood yellow noodle soup, flat rice noodle stir-fry with chicken, and lemongrass chicken with Thai Iced teas. The service was superb, everyone is very friendly and so attentive. We felt very welcomed even though we were visitors from Maine. Highly recommend for authentic, fresh Vietnamese food. 10 out of 10!!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Saigon Babylon! I think it’s one of the better places I’ve been to in Boston in terms of food, ambiance, and location. The drink options were really fun and tasted delicious. Although the menu was small, there was a good variety. The food had a lot of flavor and felt very unique. Finally, the service was a little slow but everyone was really kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back!“

“Dang oh dang 🤩, what a deal what a steal. I have never been so satisfied during my lunch break when I sat down and was presented with an amazing appetizer of crab rangoon which was then followed by drunken noodles 🍝. I love Thai food but man this Thai food was better than usual. The price on the other hand was amazing for the quality it provides. Mae is well located in Cambridge so take your next lunch break here, you won’t be disappointed 😆.“

“Food is incredibly amazing quality and consistent. Takeout only, and a few lovely seats inside while you’re waiting. (Interior decoration is so fun to look at and simply enjoy.)

Sometimes I just drop by to pick up a viet iced coffee or thai iced tea. Always perfect. This place has become my comfort food!“

“Really charming small spot with wonderful staff.
Came in the other night and sat at the bar which is reserved for walk-ins. They recommended the duck soup which was perfect. My nephew had a great vegan meal. Reserve a spot or get there early.“

“This place is the REAL Deal. Good portions, AUTHENTIC, Clean place, GREAT menu. Keep up the good work!!!!“

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)“

“The food was good. I actually enjoyed the edamame dumplings which is surprising since I'm not much of a veggie person. We all loved the papaya salad. I really enjoyed my lemongrass chicken and rice too. The waitress was very attentive.“

“Looooooove this place & The Water they serve!!� It’s the truth! They add Lime to it and it’s amazing, when I pick up orders to go I request a water to go and they know exactly who I am! Lol � The food is always delicious!!“

“Just wanted to thank you today. My daughter got a drink and I got the mango one. We also got 6 macaroons. The macaroons where so good, and fresh!! They where not dried out. My favorite was the pistachio and coconut. Thank you very much for explaining the drinks and not making us feel rushed. Thank you again.“

“Food is delicious! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. We always leave with full bellies and leftovers to enjoy again 😋“

“My favorite restaurant ever, all the foods are the best 👍🏼😋“

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

“This was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the option to build your own bowl and the unique drinks. Only comment my husband made was even though there were 2 guys in the kitchen (you can see into it), one of them was on his phone the whole time we were there not doing anything. They probably could've gotten orders done faster if they were both working...“

“I visited today for the first time and picked up a combo banh mi and a taro smoothie with boba. The banh mi was very good - the baguette was fresh and crispy and it had the right mix of vegetables to meat. The smoothie was good as well. I will agree with other reviewers that I'm a little surprised that a banh mi is $10 and is not gigantic. Maybe I'm spoiled or maybe it's just inflation but I was getting a lot more for my money with a banh mi at other places a few years ago.

I might go back but if I'm in the area again, I would probably check out some of the competition.

Parking: A few spots out front and some on the side street.“

“Such a beautiful little restaurant!
Our first time in; We dined in on a Wednesday and was instantly greeted and sat to a table with a menu. The atmosphere here is very welcoming and feels like I’m going to a family’s house for a wholesome home cooked meal. (And a great music playlist might I add)
We ordered quite a bit, thai rolls, chicken pho, lomein, pork fried rice! Everything came out quickly while still being hot, rich in flavor and overall better than most if not all similar restaurants in the Boston area.
If you’re in a debate, definitely check this place out! Will be back again and thank you to the staff and chef!🍜“

“One of my fav places to grab a coffee and snack! It’s always so busy here but it’s because it’s worth it! The Ube Phin is great, with coffee and Ube flavoring coming through really nicely! The Ube milk tea is not bad but very milky, not a must try.

Pandan bun was very fluffy and had great texture! I just wish the Pandan flavor was stronger, even with the top part you could barely taste it, so it was more just a nice sweet bun. The food here looks so good though, can’t wait to try it and some of their other drinks next time I come!

Edit: Came back for the Breakfast skillet and it’s 100% worth it. A whole baguette with pickle on the side goes perfectly with a Vietnamese sampler platter of meats, egg, cheese, and tomato sauce. It’s a lot but so incredibly good!“

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

“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!“

“The pho was fine; nothing special but solid. I got the pho dac biet and got lots of tripe and not much else. We tried the Korean fried chicken as well and it was forgettable - the sauce was not glazed onto the chicken very well and the texture was very chewy. Overall this is a serviceable option if you’re feeling pho but nothing more“
