  A Vietnamese friend recommended this to me. We got the fried shrimp with mayo, the pea pods, and some pad thai. They gave us a generous portion of shrimp and the sweet mayo sauce was amazing. Definitely going to have to take the time to sit down here next time and not just do take out. Seems like there are so many other tasty dishes to try.

  Because i have to star this I did. But this place is a horror show. They have family hanging around barefoot and another picking his teeth, thoroughly. The was a baby crying. It was chaotic. It took the server more than 10 mins just to bring menus. The water they brought over was good. However the glasses were dirty still with another patrons lip stick. We would not see them again for another 20 mins. We were the only customers in the restaurant.  We ordered some appetizers that were flavorless and gamey. So we did not eat any of it. Then they brought out what they considered beef and broccoli.  The beef tho coming fresh from the kitchen was cold which made me look thru it and meat was still raw and the sauce tasted like the just made a stew sauce with nothing but soy sauce. My rice wasn't brought out with my meat and when it was it was a small like dish portion. Like the dishes they put sauce in. That's when i had enough and left.
  
  I would never step foot in that place again. Nothing here was a good experience.

  One of the worst dining experiences I've had in awhile. The service here was very poor and we were tended to by multiple people. The correct utensils were not provided and we had to ask for them more than once and I eventually got up and grabbed them myself from a coffee table.
  
  An elderly beggar walked in and right up to our table and asked us for money. It wasn't until he approached a second table that the manager gave him some money and ushered him out.
  
  As for the food:
  The bun bo hue tasted like Indian curry.
  The crab noodle soup had no flavor whatsoever, the noodles were soggy, and the scare bits of crab often had cartilage in it.
  The drinks were reasonably large and all of the deep fried seafood items were pretty good, if not a bit overly salty.

  Fried chicken with Vietnamese fish sauce was amazing. Can be messy to eat with your hands.
  
  The banh canh cua, which is a dense crab soup served with chewy clear udon-like noodles, is tasty. It has crab meat and claw as well as congealed pork blood patty in it. The bun rieu, a noodle soup with a tomato based broth and served with rice noodles, is also good. Though tasty, you will get a sodium boost/rush by the end of the meal. You will feel it in your face (unsure if it's due to MSG).
  
  The iced Vietnamese coffee is thick and creamy from the condensed milk. This is exactly how I like my Vietnamese coffee.
  
  This is a really small restaurant on Dorchester Avenue. Small groups works better. It can't really accommodate large parties. Also, there is plenty of street parking. Not a special occasion place either but a quick lunch spot. This one is real 3.5 stars, not quite 4 stars. See my pictures.

  Woops, guess this will be the last time I order from them. Lately they've been very careless with the order. I ordered wonton noodle soup and com chien duong chau tonight. I asked on the phone for my wonton to be cooked well done(most of the time the middle is still raw), and no veggies in the rice plate. Well my order is completely the opposite. This happens all the time, and I never say anything, but this time I will just order elsewhere.
