Great food, nice vegan options too. Staff attentive and accommodating. Loved the tofu bahn MI and scallion pancakes.

The food was delicious. We had the Nam Vang radish pork soup, rare steaks pho, fried dumplings, and lemongrass chicken skewers. The flavors in the soups were incredible, lots of umami. The chicken skewers were juicy and crispy. Fried dumplings, yummy. Friendly fast service and good prices. We'll be back!

I ordered Beef banh mi, a combination salad, and a durian smoothie. The food was delicious. The service was amazing and welcoming. I will definitely come back again. I heard it’s a new owner now before it wasn’t as good on till now. 10/10

I have been coming here for the past year, and it's embarrassing to admit that I probably go at least once a week. My FAVOURITE item here has to be the #5 Park & Shrimp Summer Rolls. The peanut sauce they use is so addicting, and the quality of the rolls themselves are a 10/10 of every time. A friend once asked me "if I could have only 1 meal for my entire life, what would it be?" and this right here is my answer Other dishes I've tried include: #13 Calamari - this is probably my favorite calamari off the top of my head. It is wonderfully crispy without being overcooked, and the included sauce is quite good. I only wish it came in a larger portion! #22 Special Beef Pho - it's very good and a great portion. It's especially great that it can be chosen in 3 different sizes. #35 Combination Vermicelli - I typically choose this dish because I love vermicelli. This always hits the spot and all of the meats are delicious, and the pickled vegetables and bean sprouts are exactly what you expect in Vietnamese cuisine. Pad Thai - I'm a little mixed on this one. I've eaten it a couple of times, and I think it is tasty... but it is also very much not a Pad Thai at all. None of the flavors match the expected flavor of an authentic "Thai" Pad Thai, so I am left wondering if this is a Vietnamese take on a Thai classic. I have been a different Viet restaurant in Worcester that served Pad Thai in this same exact flavor profile. #65 - this is my childhood dish. Rice, pickled vegetables, a large bone-in marinated pork chop with a nice runny egg. This isn't my interpretation of the classic - I think they need a second pork chop! - but it always hits the spot. I totally recommend this place. The staff is friendly, and parking is always easy since it is in a small lot shared with a couple of other stores.

As a vegetarian I really appreciate it when a restaurant makes the effort to provide options for me. I went with 3 other meat eaters, and there were plenty of options for all. 3 of us had pho dishes which were hearty, ratio of veggies to meat was good. My veggie pho was tasty with a good amount and variety of vegetables. My party had the rare steaks pho and both liked it. Another person had the sauteed beef and vegetables with a side of rice and liked it. The wintermelon tea was apparently fabulous, along with the boba tea options and I had hot jasmine tea which was flavourful. Fast efficient service, although I'm not a fan of getting the check before I ask. We ordered extra drinks to go, so that's why. Loved the booths, not a fancy dining experience, but pleasant and we will definitely be back. Oh great free parking too.

Here's a five-star review for the Vietnamese restaurant based on your description: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This restaurant is an absolute gem! We totally lucked out, no reviews no research just drove by. Saw it and went for it. The vermicelli was delicious, cooked with vibrant flavors that I have not had before. The Vietnamese pancake was a crispy, golden delight, bursting with deliciousness in every bite. The condiments were out of this world, elevating each dish with their bold and authentic flavors. And the banh mi sandwich? The beef was incredibly tender and flavorful, making it a standout. Every dish was a really good and I can’t wait to return. We recently moved, and now we found our Vietnamese spot, try lemon grass. You will not be disappointed. Oh, and not to mention, the service was spectacular. Everybody was so pleasant and thoughtful. Thanks again for a wonderful dining experience my wife and I enjoyed it very much.

5 stars for the chicken pho. Was not expecting so much flavor for a place in central mass. Better than any pho we used to get in Providence RI. Would pass on the crispy noodle dishes here though. Cant wait to order again hah
