We both had pho--I had Dac Biet and my husband had the Rare Steak. The portion was huge, it was delicious, and the service was outstanding.

I've been here a few times before or after a movie at the Coolidge Corner Theater (a must for film buffs!) and had the chicken pho. I've had Pho in Boston's China Town and this is almost as good. Pho is really a no brainer and you can easily make it at home. But what makes an excellent Pho is... More

I have gone there many times since they opened. The food, the atmosphere and the owners and staff make me, family and friends return again and again. I would highly recommend Pho Lemongrass for dinner or lunch. They have a full liquor license.

We have been going to Pho Lemongrass for years now. The staff know our order before we speak it. This was the place to go for years.. Fresh good food at a reasonable price. We loved it... It pains me to say that something has changed... The food is no longer what it used to be. On our two most... More

Good decor and service. Quality food and reasonable price. Could have been spicier for our taste, but it was probably slightly Americanized for Bostonians and tourists.

I have been searching quite some time for a traditional Vietnamese soup called Canh Chua. Brought back fond memories. Overall, the food was very fresh and tasty. Well suited to my vegetarian wife.

Efficient, friendly service. Mainly Vietnamese with a PanAsian flirtation. Will not be disappointed. Sure, one finds the vermicelli, rice, and pho dishes that any hole in the wall Mom and Pop operation will have, but here is done with utmost care plus there is a variety of both vegetarian and nonvegetarian choices that go beyond the usual. Good value for... More

This restaurant was close to our B&B and we wanted an easy meal after a day of traveling. There was no wait and our food arrived very quickly. We enjoyed the vermicelli noodles and the beef plate was tender and delicious with a fresh limeade.

Lots of variety, but seems not just authentic Vietnamese but some other asian and fusion foods. Tasty!

This was my second try at Vietnamese cuisine. Not being terribly fond of Pho, I was very pleasantly surprised. We visited for lunch with a family group of ten people. They have an extensive menu. The Vietnamese salad with peanut dressing was excellent, the lemongrass chicken curry soup outstanding, the summer and spring rolls fresh, three people loved their chicken... More
