This restaurant deserves the absolute best review! First, the ambiance is incredible. Very calming, bright, comfy & roomy. I never felt like I was going to push my chair onto someone else which is nice. The service was perfect! Not pushy but attentive. It felt like they were perfectly staffed which also added to the calming ambiance. Last but not least, the food was of the utmost quality with great portion size as well! Everything tasted fresh & authentic. They also had fresh cocktails being made that bar tenders were really putting effort into. This is an all around great place & I'm cheering for them to succeed! If you're in the area definitely check this place out!

Probably, the most aesthetically pleasing Vietnamese restaurant in the area. They have foods that are very local to Vietnam that would be hard to find in Massachusetts. I can tell that they use local ingredients instead of artificial coloring/ unnecessary chemicals to mimic the taste in Vietnam.

Beautiful ambiance and they offered some dishes you cant find anywhere else(banana wrapped items) but I was deeply disappointed at the corners they cut when it came to how these items were served. I expected all the standard vegetables and herbs you get with Vietnamese food. Sadly, they didn't provide any herbs, just basic lettuce. The spring rolls were the worse and most tasteless spring rolls I've ever had. It was just iceberg lettuce, spring mix, noodles. No flavor at all.

This restaurant is an elegant Vietnamese restaurant than other restaurants I have tried. The price is also higher too. We had pho with beef tenderloin & fresh rolls. The pho is good but I wish it has more noodles. Fresh rolls were good but chewy my guess was rice papers were dry. We stayed a longer after our meals to talk & our servicer continue refilled our water. Overall it was positive experience

Banh khot was just what I wanted, except if you don't like tail on I would ask for them too take it off. Soring roll looked great, peanut sauce was lacking something...but ask for extra sauce if you dip a lot like me.

I ordered Hoi An rice platter but instead getting a chicken rice plate. The portion is small compared to the price.

This place does not respect allergies, which can be very dangerous. I ordered the food in the restaurant on 3/15 at 2:22 p.m. I got the wrong order with a major ingredient I cannot have, but the waiter and chef never cared to double check for accuracy.

Very nice, brand new Vietnamese restaurant in Assembly Row. The atmosphere has a clean, minimalist feel but very welcoming. The food was excellent and service was quick and friendly. Definitely a return visit is in the future.Who doesn’t love Vietnamese food?
Gentrified Vietnamese food. I wouldn't go as far as saying that it's a tourist trap but you're definitely paying more for the bougie decor and location. It's not bad but just not worth what they charge. Their target audience seems to be the rich foreigners and yuppie crowds. Food wise, they could never top the flavorful Vietnamese familial soul cooking that you would find in neighborhoods like Dorchester, Quincy, Malden and Worcester but still it's better than the fake Vietnamese restaurants that are actually run by Chinese/Thai people who just throw unauthentic Pho in there to attract people. Unfortunately when we went they only had about 30% of their dinner specials menu. I would recommend getting the appetizers and non-pho items as the Pho was surpassingly disappointing. They only had the basic Pho Tai, not Dac Biet meaning it didn't come with all of the mixed meats, tripe, and tendon, instead it was basic beef and meatballs only. At first they didn't give us the mints, bean sprouts and sauces either we had to ask for them. Further I would say the broth was a bit basic, didn't have enough spices. So if you're more concerned about aesthetics and modern decor then sure you'll like it here. If you're here for the food and value, you can find better elsewhere. Also the service and waitresses weren't that great either.

Me and my boyfriend had lunch here and we loved it! The food was delicious, presented very well and seasoned to perfection. I love that their menu carries more traditional Vietnamese dishes. The vermicelli with shrimp paste and sugar cane was 10/10. I wanted to try one of the sticky rice plate specials but unfortunately they weren’t ready yet, which is fine since it’ll give me a reason to come back! I can’t wait to try their cat fish clay pot too!

I went with my family on a weekday at lunchtime. It wasn't too busy so we were able to get a roomy seat with our toddler and baby. The service was fast, and the servers were friendly. We got the Pho Tai, Special Platter Option #2, and Fried Surf Clams. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. This restaurant is a great addition to Assembly Row. I'm looking forward to going back soon!
