I really like the napoleon beef. Is a delicious steak with an egg and patte. Served with bread and French fries.

Came here on the whim and tried the napoleon beef (Bo ne) and it's quite a different experience. The beef is sliced thin so don't expect a thick cut or even chunks of beef cube like the Bo loc luc. The beef I got taste good but it did have some veins which made it but chewy. I got rice instead of bread. Hint: don't forget to butter up the beef if you like the buttery flavor of steak.

Although a small restaurant, it delivers in food quality and portion size. Staff was nice and the ambiance is chill. Went here for lunch after a long morning and inoeft satisfied! Definitely check it out!

A great place to go by yourself or with your family. We've been here a couple of times and their food and service have always been great! We've had their chicken dish many times (Hence the name of the restaurant), we also had the bo ne (beef dish) and snails appetizer once before. Their chicken dish is always amazing and consistent. I can't comment if their beef and snail dish is as consistent but we loved it when we had it there.The staff is also very attentive and the atmosphere is clean and inviting. If you want to immerse yourself to great vietnamese cuisine, gently expand your taste palate (moving away from pho) as well as expand your taste in music, this is a great place to be.Unlike many other restaurant we went to, the staffs here welcomes family with small children and anticipate your need (i.e. they brought out scissors, cup with lid and bendy straw filled half way with water, small bowls and plastic utensils). The food here is a great place for children to experience new food too!Overall, great, reliable, comforting food and service. Parking isn't great, but that's like any other parts in Dorchester. It doesn't take us more than 10 minutes to find parking each time - so compare to Boston, it's actually a win!

My party and I enjoyed everything we ordered. Good portion size. Fast service. Parking is available behind the building. We were little piggies -- four adults and two toddlers -- who ordered a little bit of everything here because our eyes are bigger than our stomach. We loved everything but a favorite was the Bo Ne! Recommend: -- Chicken Rice with Shred Cabbage Salad--Duck Bamboo Noodle Soup with Banana Flower Salad--Bo Ne--Braised Len Snail with Coconut Cream

This place was DELICIOUS! My bf and I were in the area and stumbled across this place after seeing they served pho which I was in the mood for. The place was packed but we were greeted and seated right away. The staff was very friendly and attentive and overall it gave me a homey vibe. They have an extensive menu with a little bit of everything. I ordered the F2, pho with brisket, flank, tendon strips and beef and it satisfied my pho craving as it had a good amount of meats and the broth had a lot of flavors. My bf ordered the L1- Sizzling Beef (Bo Ne), one of their popular dishes and it was full of flavors and came with a side of fries and bread. On top of the good food, their portions are big and their prices are A1. I was also in the mood for wings and got their salt and pepper wings and they were soooo good. I'm defined returning as there were other dishes I want to try.

We tried sizzling beef steak, Spicy Beef Noodle and crab paste noodle there when visit Boston. Sizzling beef steak was great, but not others. Hard to find a parking lot there as the restaurant is at the corner of the street.

This place isn't fancy, but it's an excellent value, low-key, w/ young patrons eating solid Vietnamese. The staff is super-friendly: it's a great neighborhood joint.

Their bò né dish is really delicious, but the consistency is not great. Sometimes the beef is burnt near the pan, other times it's too garlicky or too sweet. The beef is not cooked on the pan but pre-cooked, causing the meat to burn when presented on the pan.I like coming here for bò né, but every time I come, I am worried about how the chef will cook it.

Every single dish was uniquely delicious and executed perfectly! We ordered the nem con, banh bot chien, bo ne. We came from NYC and this was some of the best Viet we’ve had in the northeast. Can’t wait to come back!
