Party of 3 Sep2023: Party of 1 oct 2023: Great quick service the crab Rangoon was amazing and enjoyed the veggie pho although had a lot of veggies and prefer mine bite size for convenience but was food regardless. Second time I tried the Pad Thai it had lots of oil for my liking but good flavor. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Worst Vietnamese food we have ever had. It's very difficult for me to send things back. I need to change that. The soup "special" had an off odor or it was my wife's beef dish, which as you can see was barely touched. Check out their salad (a leaf of lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. I drank the broth as I was hungry as hell and you can see u didn't touch the rest! The meat was foul and the noodles(! ). Take a look at the condiments! Dang if thar isn't enough to get up and run away. Look at the nozzles! Dried on cake. Fml. Btw I think they top of the Sriracha as it didn't taste like Sriracha! Omg and the phantom gourmet reviewed them. TERRIBLE ¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
Most excellent! Everything we ordered was super delicious! Had the sizzling Mongolian beef, vermicelli noodles with charred pork and shrimp with an spring roll in it, and a mixed vegetable rice noodles. Thai tea was delicious too! A full bar at this restaurant. Plastic water cups though, a little sad, but the food was amazing!

The taste of the food used to be better , probably a new chef . I used to love this beef stir fry with potatoes . My friend ordered steak soup XL to go - she is also not recommending it . Will try returning in a year , hope things change . Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
The Pho here is solid. They also have good Vietnamese fried rice (pictured), which wasn’t overly greasy or salty. The indoor area is stylish, even though I usually get takeout. For takeout, they are careful to make sure the pho doesn’t spill out and carefully package the add-ins. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30

Favorite Metrowest Vietnamese restaurant. I have never had a bad meal here. I've had a lot of their dishes. My favorite is their Pho Dac Biet! Broth has delicious flavors and they give the right amount of meats to noodles ratio. I usually get some spring rolls with it. Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

If you like Pho, this is the place ! We always do takeouts and they are polite on the phone. Their menu has lots of variety of Vietnamese choices and they accommodate vegetarian too. Flavors are delicate, super fresh , authentic and not overcooked. It's nice that they are generous to add steamed rice and something else like a salad kit with a takeout order which is pretty rare. Whenever we think of Vietnamese food, we think Pho Dakao. Highly recommend! Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Recommended dishes Vegetarian Pho
Went for the first time in many years. The pho was just okay. Didn't have the fragrance and flavor that comes with a really well made bowl of pho. I also couldn't stand the music selection - the establishment's whole playlist was nothing but whiny covers of Top 40 hits by what sounded like American Idol eliminees. It really took me out of the experience and made me feel like I was trapped in a retail shop instead of an atmospheric Vietnamese restaurant. Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

I like this place. If I lived closer, I would come here a lot! The Pho broth is excellent. Is clear with a beefy flavor without the heavy fatty taste. Also had the vermicelli and that had the nice clean fresh taste to it. Meaning the noodle wasn’t mushy or too hard and that vegetables and herbs were crisp. The sauce that came with it was thin and not thick or heavy like other places. It didn’t over power the dish with a heavy sweet or msg taste. The vermicelli seemed like a reasonable portion but the Pho medium seemed more like an extra small at more popular Pho places. The price is also a little higher but you can taste why. The decor was pleasing as well. A mix of modern and cabin like. Not sure why the birch wood was put in but it can definitely work without it. I think it was a partial remodel because the finishings look well kept but the floor and the window trim look worn. The waitress had was attentive and prompt. Our order came out within 10 minutes or so. Probably because we ordered quick prepared items and there were only about 5 other couples there around 7pm. Definitely would come here again and even hang out at the bar because it seems so spacious. Maybe not a place for a large group as the it is all open, but bring your friends and enjoy the food and fire on the 4K TV on the wall. Like I said “modern cabin like”.
