The atmosphere of this restaurant is super cool and trendy, like a very aesthetic cafe. It's a small place with a small menu, but it's to the point. It's broken up into four main items: spring rolls, banh mi, pho, and rice plates. I tried the grilled chicken rice plate and really enjoyed it. It wasn't anything super over the top but the chicken was flavorful and went well with the other traditional veggies that came with it. The portion size wasn't huge however~ it was just enough for one person, and definitely without any left overs. But other than that, overall it's good. The drink selections were really cool and unique. I got the strawberry soda and it was so refreshing and delicious. There were real strawberry pieces and I like seltzer/soda so it was a cool combo. Overall I had a good experience and would definitely come back to this spot again for a casual lunch or dinner.

Hands down that was the best Pho I've had in Boston! Great depth of flavor, the meat is perfectly cooked.

Lovely little joint and dare I say a hidden gem. The cafe is family-run so there is a longer wait time (but the sever lady works really hard). For the wait time I want to lower my rating but the food was too good. The food is probably one of the most authentic Vietnamese I've tasted and reminded me a lot of my mothers cooking. They do have a small menu but all popular dishes!

When Basil Pho had a waitlist for lunch, I retraced my steps to Saigon Fusion. It's a little dark inside, and I thought the music was too loud (- 1/2 star), but the waitress was working hard, and the kitchen was keeping up. I had a hankering for pho, so I was pleased to see there was a "kid" option for the smaller portion size. It was hot, delicious, and the price was right.

First time in Boston and I saw this Vietnamese restaurant across the street when I visited Christian Science Mapparium. I ordered the Grilled Pork Banh Mi. DELICIOUS!!! The bread was crisp and soft. (I dislike breads that hurt the roof of your mouth). The grilled pork had yummy flavors of sweet/spice, and tasty umami. Mixed with CRISP veggies, this Banh Mi was inhaled in a few minutes of me taking my first bite. The grilled pork sandwich cost $8.95 without taxes. For under 10 dollars, it was worth every penny. I ONLY wished there was more meat in the sandwich. My spouse ordered the veggie rice plate. She is a picky eater but she really enjoyed her plate. She ate everything and nothing was left. Cost of veggie rice place, $15. Total cost of meal for both of us, approximately $26 with taxes. You will not be disappointed!

I've walked by this place over a dozen times and almost every time, you can smell the wonderful aroma of their pho broth. Well today was the day that a group of us decided to go in. I'm glad we did but I wish I would have visited sooner! For starters, we had the shrimp spring rolls. So fresh and delicious. Will have this again! For mains, we had a variety. The veggie rice plate, the rice plate with pork, and the standard beef pho. Lets just say that by the end of the meal, there was hardly anything left on each plate/bowl! The pho was super hot and tasted awesome. It seemed to have the perfect amount of flavor with nothing overpowering. I would order this again for sure. So the rice plates were really good also. The pork was extremely flavorful and the fresh veggies accompanied the meal to perfection. In terms of value, I'd say it was really good by today's standards. This seems like a family business with the mom working the front of the house with the assistance of her son. Overall, it was a great experience and I would come back again. One big note is that the menu is very limited. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but if you're expecting to choose a variety of proteins and broths, you'd be disappointed. If you're ordering pho, it's going to be beef. The only choice you have is kid's or adult size.

My parents love this place after stumbling upon it in December. They literally just walked by it and it smelled good so they went inside. My biggest impression of this place is how they didn't squeeze an extra row of tables in the middle and how slow the service is. I think they only have one staff in the front and in the back. It's fair for my parents to rave about it as I would say it's the best overall pho place I've been to too. I'm not saying each element is perfect, but overall speaking yeah it's quite good. It came out hot but not piping. The beef is obviously steak pieces with a lot more texture than usual pho paper thin slices. It's high quality and bit fatty too. The broth had a lot of spices too unlike other pho places which is more "clear" and msg forward. This one is obviously ginger and cinnamon forward. It actually feels quite cozy but just FYI in case some people don't like those spices. I remember trying it with and without lemon. I think the citrus brightness complements the spices. The noodles itself could be smoother but it's okay enough here where it isn't the type to get all mushy after a while. Service is quite slow. It took 20+ minutes for my pho to arrive. I mean I think it's fine as long as you know what you're getting into. Pork chop rice. My parents were interested in trying something besides pho. They got the pork chop rice which was so small they devoured it in three minutes. The rice portion is small the egg covers the whole thing. I guess it's okay to do that since people eat less rice nowadays but also just another FYI about this place. Honestly I don't think people will be full from just one main dish. My parents liked how fresh everything was, but the actual meat wasn't their favorite. It was definitely heavily marinated but the flavors didn't seep through. The flavors remained on the exterior and made the meat too wet. Idk maybe they brushed sauce afterwards. Besides spacious seating, I'm amused seeing customers shift around tables. Sometimes 1-2 ppl groups have a share a larger table or move to an empty one afterwards.

My rating is really a 4.7 mainly due to the pricing and other things BUT you have to take in consideration of the location it's in which is near the Prudential!! Everything here is super cute and has this cozy, comforting vibe! Love the decor and presentation. The menu is small, but that just means they really take the time to focus and perfect the few dishes they offer to make it really good! They offer one type of pho, two different rice dishes, some banh mi's, and spring rolls. Regular Pho ($17.75) 4.8/5 Besides the pricing, I'll have to admit the pho was SUPER flavorful and clean! Honestly one of the better phos I had in a while. The meat was tender, but don't expect the meats you get in Pho Dac Biet like the flank, round eye, brisket etc. The meat they use is cut into small chunks that get more cooked in the broth. Toffee Milk Tea ($6) 3.8/5 Super cute presentation for sure! I really love the big toffee bits. However, since it was under the "milk tea" category, I expected it to be a milk tea not just milk and the toffee melting into it. If you get this though, the toffee is great, but just be aware the base is just milk! Service: the lady was SO SWEET love her so kind! I went right before they started dinner service so I didn't experience a crazy wait for my food, but when I left people were starting to come in and pack the place As someone that's Vietnamese, there are other cheaper phos in Dorchester that I'd rather go to, but if you live in the area and are deciding on which pho place to go, come here instead of the other phos in the area!
