12 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in Cambridge

“Best food I’ve had from start to finish! We ordered several dishes to share (based on our waiter’s recommendations) and they all had unique flavors spiced to perfection. They were the kind of bespoke dishes that you know you could never replicate. Our fave was the Fluke. Even the mocktails were amazing! I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Such good food for a great price! The drunken crazy noodles and duck noodle soup were so so so good, absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, food came quickly, and the interior was calm and simply decorated. We visited early on a weeknight but almost didn’t get a table since we didn’t have a reservation, so plan ahead!“

“The food is authentic and sanitary.“

“I love everything about this place. The coffee is incredible (the Sea Salt Shaker is unreal), the daily pastries are always delicious, and the empanadas (tomato and motz) are a go-to. I also love the no-laptop vibe, it makes the space feel intentional. The decor is beautiful, and the back porch is such a tranquil, unique spot in Cambridge.“

“A real standout for affordable, excellent Vietnamese cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with attentive service. Somewhat unexpected considering the location in the old Harvard Garage which typically has fast-casual dining options. I loved their fresh summer rolls which were packed with herbs and served with a thick flavorful peanut sauce, as well as their classic Vietnamese summer salad of marinated shredded cabbage, chicken and shrimp. Small but interesting wine and beer menu.“

“Amazing little restaurant & bar. Great service and food. Went in on a whim as I just happened to be in the area. It was not too busy when I arrived and was able to get quick service. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a cute place to check out.“

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

“Amazing coffee shop, especially all their combinations of vietnamese coffee. They have it both in hot and cold and so many different kinds, never seen that many anywhere else, not even in New York City. Very authentic and great quality! Maybe a dollar or two more expensive than elswhere, but extremely worth it.
They also have great pastries and spots to work at with a laptop.
Moreover, they also have great vietnamese sandwiches! You should definitely try it.
For the people that don't like coffee. No problem. My boyfriend love matcha. And they have amazing yuzu matcha. TOKYO FOGG (which is a matcha latte with earl grey). He says that's one of the best matcha he's ever had!
Regarding the palce itself, it could be more renovated or modernized and the bathrooms are not always the cleanest (depending how busy they are). If they'd improve that, then all stars woudl be five!!!“

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

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

“Nice for a quick lunch, and sometimes i go just for the fries and bubble tea. The togarashi fries are always excellent! Crispy, hot, and can dip in spicy mayo. For veg options I usually get the Noodle Salad with paprika tofu and the spicy peanut sauce. Everyone also likes the crispy katsu chicken. One note of caution: the brown sugar bubble tea is inexplicably bad! The plain milk tea is good though :)“

“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!“
