Their pho salad cured salmon (5/5) was one of my favorite foods from my Boston/Cambridge trip. It was a unique dish that I'd never seen at any Vietnamese restaurant before and it was so good! While toppings were cold and fresh, the noodle was warm and it was delicious. Strongly recommend it!
Turmeric golden latte was just okay (3/5).
Everything is self serve here - you get in line, pay for your food, find yourself a seat, and go grab your food/utensils/water when they call you.

This review is way delayed so the dishes are my review may not exist anymore in their menu, and if that is the case then I would consider it a good thing because this establishment gives the vibes that they change up their menus every now and then to provide novelties. If the items are still present in the menu, then good because consider it a treat if you get to try any of them because every dish that my friend and I had there was a hit! So far this is one of my favorite places within the Boston area.
First, we tried the shiitake mushroom springs rolls, or gười cuộn nấm đông cô in Vietnamese, and they were as conventionally good as we thought they would be, and actually had more flavor that the equivalent items I have had elsewhere, considering it didn't have meat. Both the cured salmon and the cured duck were outstanding in terms of flavor, having that strong savory taste that allowed the meat juice to immerse with the rice, and the red wine in the duck dish provided an additional layer of depth. Finally, the yogurt was amazing as well, which had a yolk-looking yellow spot in the middle that made it visually appealing. It wasn't too sweet and wasn't too solid, so overall served as a very nice dessert.
I must also mention that at night, the lights really make this place have a mystic feel, and the fact that they have books in several Asian languages, along with the autobiography of Malcolm X, and a calendar in Vietnamese, all give extra points for this place. Highly recommend!

(4.5 stars) The vibes are immaculate, and I agree with everyone raving about the sea salt shaker coffee! I would recommend the coffee menu over their dinner menu, which feels a little overpriced for the quality.

Truly magical place. The vibe is so nice and food I had and two drinks were great. I got the normal viet latte w condensed milk and it was sweet and good. And outdoor seating availble!
A bit pricey for the portion. So I don’t think this is a place to eat, but it is for the date, spending good time and coffee / snacks.

Underwhelming, especially at the price point. Each dish itself was good but feels monotonous to eat. Duck pho was good and uplifted the entire spread but by itself, it was okay.
Will come back to try out their coffee!

Menu is relatively small but vegan items are clearly labeled. They have 2-3 vegan apps and 2-3 vegan entrees. I’ve come here a few times, also good for wine choices.

A very cute space. Interested since the first time I walked past it. The space is small but there’s an outside area as well. The food was mostly good, but my bowl was really just chicken skin. It lacked flavor and actual meat. The coffee I got was good and warm.
