11 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Cambridge

“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 😆.“

“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.“

“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.“

“👍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...“

“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!“

“It was delicious speedy clean polite staff loved the place definitely going back with the family.“

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

“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!“
