“Went in to try their Banh Mi and came back the next day to try their pho! I got the BBQ banh mi and it was delicious! If you don’t like a spicy kick then i suggest not getting the jalapeños. The crispy rolls were a really nice side too. Came back the next day for the brisket pho and it was light, tasty, and the portion was just right. The service and the vibe were perfect too. Down to earth people and great instrumentals in the background. I don’t live around here but if i did i would come here all the time! On top of everything the prices are cheap“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“Food tastes great
nice balance between the spices and sauce used
Recommend the buldok chicken lunchbox

Quantity of chicken is ample and filling, has room for improvement with the quantity of rice offered as opposed to the price of the dish.“

“This is such a delightful place to come for a drink, a meal, and a date night. The Eaves is a terrific setting for an intimate 2 or 3 person evening. The entrance is a bit tough to find in Bow Market - though after entering, it's to hide the high quality atmosphere that's inside.

We got drinks after being seated and we're impressed by the flavor of drinks indicative of a cosmopolitan feel.

The food was most impressive. The spice level was very high and was balanced with the wonderful flavours provided. The vegetarian salad was a good starter, followed by ceviche and finally, the duck. That duck is still something I am thinking about - tender, juicy, and with just enough spice that makes me want more.

Our service complemented a wonderful evening. The staff were always attentive to our needs, happy to answer questions, and ensure we had a great time. Though it's a bit pricey, The Eaves deserves 5 stars, a bigger place, and another visit from us and others. Thank you for such a great time and hope to come again soon!“

“This joint's got some serious culinary cred, tossing taro into the mix. It's a short stroll from my place, and curiosity got the better of me. Thankfully, the menu delivered. Only downside: the tiny space feels cluttered, earning it 3 atmosphere stars. And, seriously, that trash can outside needs some serious de-stinking action - a good cleaning and a discreet relocation, stat! On the bright side, the staff is fantastic - friendly, helpful, and totally on it. the crew's awesome -
Too bad the stench kept us from dining al fresco.
the plants ? could use some love water them please ?“

“We consider ourselves foodies and ordered take out last week and the food was delicious! In addition the staff was super friendly and gave some great advice on what to order. Great portion sizes. Today my husband and I returned and dined in. Again, the food was so good and people working there were so nice! We will definitely return as well as spread the word to our friends. Go Viet Citron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!“

“We ventured to Pho’n Rice for pho and I ordered a Thai dish out to curiosity. I was blown away. It was the best pad see ew I’ve had. Their prices are reasonable and take out time fast. We will definitely be adding this to our local take out rotation.“

“This small shop has really good banh mi! I'm a vegetarian, and have repeatedly gotten the tofu banh mi, but I've taken people here and they have enjoyed the pork and chicken banh mi as well. The staff are always super nice. I would 100% recommend this place for the food and pleasant customer service.

Vegetarian options: The tofu banh mi is really good.“

“The food is always so satisfying here! Lots of vegetables. Vegetarian dishes, soups.! I had lemongrass salmon today.. my mom had the kimchi rice. Friendly service. Don’t forget about the Thai tea? I have never had a bad dish year. I have been coming for years.“

“Went to several different locations in the area in the same evening looking for a place to celebrate my mom's birthday, leaving other locations due to rude staff and invasive TV/sports. This restaurant was such a lovely reprieve. We were there for several hours and never once felt unwelcome and received courteous friendly service from everyone who interacted with us. The drinks were outstanding and unique, the food was excellent and fresh and delivered with thought to the pacing of the experience, and it was very clear that this is a restaurant that takes pride in itself. 10/10.“

“Food is delicious and great price“

“I've been here a couple times and have had the pho, drunken chicken noodle, and seaweed salad. The house-named pho was excellent and packaged to-go thoughtfully. The drunken noodles and seaweed were both good as well. Prices are good for what you get compared to other fast casual take aways in the area. The staff are very responsive and kind and the inside is pleasant.“

“Wow what a gem - I'm a big fan of banh mi oi, as is everyone in my household. Meat eaters? Thrilled. Vegetarians? Shocked to get good flavorful pho. Haven't been disappointed and I maybe order once a month!

Parking: If you park in the supermarket lot, totally doable“

“I got the Dac Biet pho, the broth was very good, rich and flavorful, but the beef was very very dry, not many pieces of tripe. For the price, I’d come again for a quick, casual, decent meal, but it’s not the best of the best Vietnamese food.“

“My family loves Banh Mi Cafe! We have tried all different menu items here and everything is consistently delicious. Highly recommend the Vermicelli Bowl, Fresh Spring Roll, Banh Mi, Kumquat Ai Yu Lemon Basil Seed drink, Peach Tea, Ube Flaming Brown Sugar Crème Brûlée drink, Macarons, and Vietnamese Fermented Yogurt!! Nancy’s always so warm and welcoming. We feel very lucky to have such a gem in Watertown.“

“This Vietnamese restaurant is located near Harvard Square. This time I ordered a large bowl of Extra large beef noodle soup, Pad Thai and Fresh summer roll with shrimp and pork. ). The raw beef pho soup has a sweet soup, and the portion of beef is generous and filling. Pad Thai, the rice noodles are elastic and rich in sweet, sour and salty flavours. The outer shell of the raw spring roll is elastic, and the lettuce wrapped in it is refreshing and delicious.

“This place is amazing. I’ve been coming here for years and I really enjoy the food. My family and I especially love the special beef noodle soup and the glass noodle soup with shrimp. The employees are so sweet and accommodating. 10/10 recommend to everyone looking for yummy food!“

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Siagon Babylon and it has easily become one of our favorite Boston restaurants. The plates are small and I recommend getting a couple to share (tapas style). We loved that each dish had classic southeast asian flavors, but was so unique. You will not find dishes like this anywhere else in Boston. Excited to come back for more!“

“Excellent food and service! Will try it again soon!“

“Best PHO IVE HAD SO FAR ❤️“

“One of my favorite restaurants in all of Boston/Cambridge. The short rib khao soi MIGHT be the best dish in the entire state, it is absolutely perfect. Great beer selection with affordable prices. The staff is always friendly, and the owners are so incredibly sweet. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

“The hype is so real. My first time trying Vietnamese iced coffee, and turns out it is amazing. They have an EXTREMELY cute patio in the back. I got the sai gon espresso latte, iced, and my friend got the hai noi honey mousse. Both were absolutely delicious, and the hai noi honey mousse was very unique. The palmier was good, and my friend loved the banh mi she got. I will go back any chance I get.“

“This is the best Pho I have had in Boston ?. Broth was clean and flavourful and the meat in the dac biet was incredible ??.

I also had a Thai ice tea with my meal, which was tasty and authentic. (I ordered two) ☕️❤️.“

“the pho is good and mochi donuts are decent (they're appear to be a mix of standard flour and glutinous rice flour deep fried), but the portion sizes relative to the price leaves a lot to be desired

the amount of pho you get is roughly the same size as a giant instant noodle soup cup and the mochi donut is the size of a standard donut but about triple the price...“

“This is my go to place for thai food. It also has good option on Viet food. This place is only for pick up or delivery. No license for dining in. The food is great so if you love authentic thai food you will like this place. Better than many thai places around (lexington, burlington, woburn, bedford etc.) excellent spring rolls, fresh rolls and curries.“

“Came for a late lunch with a friend. So many great options, ended up deciding on the Tom Yum Noodle soup. Surprised with the topping choices, but the pork and fish balls were tasty. Broth was good but not enough, noodles not fully submerged even. Could’ve had more of that familiar tang of Tom yum as well. Friend had the pho, had a taste and the broth was so nice and rich. Overall really good and looking to try the pho next time!“

“Exceptional food and service. I really love the care and effort put into the packaging and preparation as I’ve had a couple really big orders and I can see the staff diligently triple checking the accuracy of everything.

Thai dishes have a ton of flavor and are on par with the best you can get in the area. Love that the scallion pancakes are crispy and not saturated in grease as you see at other places. This will be my go to place indefinitely for Thai takeout.“

“Came here when I found out they had another spot - I usually frequent their tried and true Chinatown location. Food here is, dare I say, even better. Probably my favorite spot in the local area.

Beautiful, hip and trendy interior. Service and drinks are great as well! Love it here, will definitely visit again when I’m in the area.“

“1. Food: food was amazing. I was not feeling well today but the food boosted my condition! Two sauce were good but it will be better if the portion is bigger
2. Nice and kind owner.
3. It is in food court at 88 supermarket and it is hot inside“

“You had me at chili oil. Phenomenal from beginning to end. Exceeded my expectations in flavor. I highly recommend. Both dishes (my husband’s and mine) were flavorful, perfect sized portion and speedy! We received our food no more than 10 minutes after we placed it with our waitress, who took out from memory. Cute, cozy place that is good for all meals of the day.“

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

“It is just a regular little Bodega. They have a lot of Harvard sweatshirts, t-shirts, and other Harvard memorabilia. Most people know it as the liquor store in town. Customer service always feels like it's lacking but somehow they do the job! Just a quick little in and out convenience store“

“? God willing ?, ? the company needs no introduction ? and dealing above the excellent, and a great speed in the achievement and I thank the honorable and decent manager of the company A_ Ehab for the good reception, the upscale dealing, the cheerful face, and the smile to all customers, may God increase the likes of him ??????“

“Great drunken noodles. Solid portion. Apparently, they are halal (according to Reddit). Couldn’t verify as I was late to pick up.
Drunken noodles were great. A solid 8/10 for me. I had to add a little bit of soy sauce. I paid $17 for chicken drunken noodles with medium heat. Great portion with solid taste. I liked how they used broccoli, carrot, and zucchini. They complemented the noodles.
