Pho Basil

"This is my favorite pho restaurant in Boston. I’ve visited here several times. Today, I ordered crab rangoon, pho, and drunken noodle. If you cannot eat spicy, I would recommend you to order drunken noodles with no spicy. In addition, the crispy chicken was so good."

"There's a lot of small restaurants in this part of town. But at 7 PM on this Friday night there was only one that had a non-stop line of people waiting for the next open table: Pho Basil. It's nothing special to look at, but the combination of reliable Viet & Thai cuisine, reasonable prices and exceptionally good service really delivers. Efficient and personable hosts and waiters makes a big difference in the overall experience! I'd guess that 90% of the clientele were college students, but this place also works great for people like me, a retiree who's just grabbing a quick dinner before attending a performance of the BSO."

"A great little pho spot in Back Bay! It was honestly my first time having pho and I couldn’t have picked a better spot to have it! The portion sizes were great and the food was fantastic. I would recommend!"

"We came here for dinner and the wait went so fast despite how many people were there. I highly recommend this place. Service was efficient and fast. The serving size is also very big. This is a good place for group and individual dining. For appetizers, we shared roti'n curry dip. it was flaky and crunchy but a little bit oily, but it was so delicious. For entre, we ordered vegetarian pad thai, kao soi, and pho. This restaurant is perfect for vegetarians and vegans as well, and all the food was so delicious. I will say I am not crazy for the pho here. The soup is a little more salty and not what I am used to. I personally would skip the pho altogether since everything else is perfect and so delicious. Kao Soi is amazing, and it was perfect for a chilly day. It is savory, and the battered fried chicken is so filling. The pad thai is a perfect staple and tasted good the following day as a leftover as well. Highly recommend. I see why this place is so popular."

"The food was really good, very large serving for their rice and noodle dishes And affordable pricing. But the service could use improvements. Some of the waiters try very hard to be outstanding. The space it's kind of small not a good option for large parties over 4. Call ahead to see if they will be able to accommodate your group. Perfect for groups of 2. We were a group of 5 and our food came out one at a time. I would give them a 5 star but since they brought the kids food last, had to takeaway 1 star. My pet peeve at restaurants, when they bring the kids food last."
