“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best Halal spot in 518
Mashaallah super clean
This place doesn’t not disappoint at all. They only have been open for 4 months and everything they do is perfect. The first thing you notice when you go in there is how clean everything is, from floors, walls, seating, kitchen, etc. The food is unmatched by any other, very generous portions, the quality is excellent and the taste is consistently amazing. They cook their food well and the spices are perfect. The price is very reasonable for the quality of their dishes. Lastly, the workers there are extremely respectful, kind and hospitable. They make me feel welcomed every time I come in especially now that I’m a regular there. Keep up the good work!”

“love everything about this place. Delicious food and wonderful service.”

“We always have a nice time here! Food is always great. Tonight we were waited on by Ms. Amy. We hope we didn’t get her into trouble by roping her into conversation! But once we started talking about things we all had in common, it was hard to stop. She struck a great balance between efficiency and friendliness. We, of course, will be back as our trips to Rivers will now always include a yummy dinner at The Ritz first.”

“We came to Mama’s Pho on our way back to Vermont; arriving early at 4 we had the place to ourselves. Staff were courteous and attentive to our order. The place is clean and decorated in a way to feel like you were eating a home cooked meal. Food arrived in a timely manner. We enjoyed Vietnamese coffee, a mango smoothie and Thai Iced Tea to start with our vegetable egg rolls and spring roll; these were delicious starters.

Our pho tai, Phố đặc biệt, and Bún bò huế came out soon after with fresh mung bean sprouts, basil and lime. Broths were delightful with noodles and meats. You get a generous amount of food from these bowls. A delightful find.”

“Just an all-around great establishment. Great beer, great pizza, great people. Shoutout to Larry, Kiersten, Maddie, Rj, Maria, and the rest of the crew - thank you for a great visit every time🍻”

For everything they offer it was the perfect price. All the staff was super friendly! Highly recommend and will definitely be back!”

“This is hands down our family's go-to comfort food spot. The pho is authentic, fresh, and bursting with perfectly balanced flavor—especially the vegetable noodle soup with steamed tofu. The broth feels healing, and the tofu is always cooked to perfection. Their grilled meats and rice dishes are just as incredible—whether it's beef, shrimp, salmon, pork, or chicken, you can't go wrong. Even the wings and spring rolls are packed with flavor and generously portioned.
What truly sets this place apart is the service. The owners treat us like family every time we walk in. It's more than just a meal, it’s an experience of warmth, care, and delicious food that lasts me 2–3 meals. We always leave full, happy, and already planning our next visit.”
