Pho 98

Ordered lunch today and was pleased! Very fresh ingredients and a generous portion of add-​ins for our Phở. Ladies were very friendly and helpful on the phone and at the restaurant.
I ordered a veggie spring roll, a regular spring roll, a veggie and tofu phở and a chicken and veggie phở. It was all delicious!
I would def order from them again.

Place was clean and bright and service was excellent. Phở was bland– everything was fresh and high quality, but underwhelming.

Solid Vietnamese restaurant. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I was here with a group of associates for the business Chamber meeting and many of them had never been to a phở restaurant.
The owner patiently explain the menu to the group, and giving recommendations to each attendee. Thumbs up for stellar service. The restaurant is nice and clean.
Onto the food, I had the Bun ga, vermicelli with grilled chicken. The chicken was well marinated, came in a huge bowl with plenty of salad fixings in it. The portion was very generous, I had to take some home with me for pre-​workout meal, which was wonderful.
The other people in my group ordered a variety of other items including phở, clay pot rice, and stir fry. Everyone complimented their food and really enjoy it.
I will definitely return for more.

Some of you familiar with comedienne Ali Wong (Netflix!) will remember some of her tenets of a good, legit Vietnamese restaurant:
1) Must have a number in the name
2) Service so horrible, you’ll cry into your soup, but it’ll be worth it, because of the soup.
I gotta say. The service was totally unexpected of a Vietnamese phở place. Our server (cute young girl) was very friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us service that I expected from a place like a friendly, small-​town diner. Because I have been to many a phở joint… and it’s extremely rare to get what I call «Westernized» service, like you’re at Chili’s or the Cheesecake Factory.
It was an awesome, very pleasant surprise. She even helped the couple seated behind us navigate the menu, since it seems like their first time truing Vietnamese cuisine. She had a sweet disposition, and was very patient about figuring what sort of flavor profile they liked in order to give recommendations. From what it sounded like, her reccs were a hit.
We were served hot tea right away, along with the pot. We then both ordered large #30s with a honeydew shake for dessert. She said it was her favorite, and it indeed was good and melon-​y flavored.
The phở broth is slightly sweet, but still pretty good. It hit the spot. Lots of very fresh bean sprouts, and lemon instead of lime. They don’t use jalapenos, but small habanero chili peppers. The basil they use is heartier. Their takeout containers are a nice thick plastic.
This is where I’d recommend folks unwind after a long day at IKEA. The interior is classy, clean, AND they come with a good beer & wine selection. And I didn’t have to cry into my soup to enjoy good phở in Massachusetts.

Went to this restaurant for mother’s day — the place was almost full — the owner had a big table of about 20 people in there that was clearly family and it made the experience for other customers a very unpleasant one as he was very loud and seem not to care that there were customers in the restaurant. The food was OK I would say a 3.5 stars — the waiter was very nice and polite and took time to answer our questions — cleanliness I would give them 4 stars

Good Phở’ here; clean modern Reno. Parking availble right in front. It’s locate in same plaza as Subway.

Great food and great value– went out of our way to eat here based on reviews and did not disappoint.
Great Phở and quick service — cannot ask for much more.

Passing thru on way back to Boston, saw this on Unilocal and only thing that even remotely appealed to us. SCORE, I had crab soup and wife had Pad Thai. Both were good and the service was excellent.

Formerly Phở Little Saigon now under new ownership. Some of the good things about this restaurant remain the same: nice clean space, good service, full bar, and varied selection of Vietnamese dishes.
However, there has been a significant decline in the food itself. The meats for the Phở are too chewy and the broth no longer has as much of the fragrance associated with phở flavor. The Pad Thai is mediocre and unidimensional, oily and overwhelmed with fish sauce. The restaurant now has an unpleasant chemical smell that may be from a poorly chosen air freshener. The bathrooms have a different unpleasant chemical smell that emanates from the plug in air freshener.
There are quite a few competitors in the area for Vietnamese food and Phở 98 needs to step up its game if they are to succeed.

I’m not always a fan of Vietnamese places since I normally already have my go to spots, and already is exposed to so much Vietnamese food at home– but this place was too good not to leave a comment!
There is such a huge variety of food here– it’s not just Vietnamese food. I like that they went out of their comfort zone and even offer desserts such as fried ice cream (which by the way was delicious).
I got the rice plate with the grilled pork! I usually go to Fields Corner for those but this plate was delicious. The meat was nice and tender with a great taste. Not burnt at all– even precut for you to fit in every bite!
My friends got phở, bun bo hue, and a dish I forgot the name of (but it contains crab and thicker noodles– will have to update on what it’s called).
Bottom line is– many options. Go for it!

We enjoy trying different Vietnamese restaurants (always order the same dishes) and thought to give this place a try with all the good reviews. We were there on a Thursday night around 6 pm and the place was empty. We ordered our usual. Fresh spring rolls and phở. The fresh spring rolls were definitely made ahead and kept in a very cold fridge. They were so cold that when we but into it the iceberg lettuce has bits of ice on them.
We ordered the special combination phở. The broth was very good. Light and not greasy. The noodles were slightly under cook. The eye round, which suppose to be rare, were cooked and seems to
have been cooked over and over again. They were dark and we can’t even chew them.
The staffs were just on their phones watching videos and talking among their self. They should check on the customers and if they needed anything else.
Gave them two stars because the broth is not bad.

A couple friends and I decided to come here for lunch and this place is pretty darn good.
The interior is nice enough to accommodate large parties. The floor is clean. The owners are nice. The tables aren’t sticky. It’s a really nice place to chill and relax since it’s not that loud here. The staff is really friendly and the service is efficient.
The food was brought out fast but it doesn’t look like it was just slapped together last minute. It doesn’t look like there’s an increase in the soup only when you order a larger size since one friend got the small and we compared. The increase in size does come with an increase in meat and noodles.
I got the egg rolls and the phở dat biet and they were both pretty good. The ingredients are fresh and high quality. If you had a bad time with other phở places then this place is definitely worth a try, you will be satisfied with the service and the food.

I was really happy to have stumbled upon this place… During a blizzard!
The Phở was really delicious. The vegetables were really refreshing and the soup was not too salty like some other places. The inside was a really nice and comfortable interior, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be going back here.

We stumbled across the gem a year ago and return at least once a month. They are extremely friendly and the food is amazing. My wife usually gets the phở and I love the short ribs. Service is great and the appetizers are great. For those that don’t know vietnamese or phở, this place is authentic and they use great ingredients. If you have had a bad experience elsewhere, you need to give this place a try. Start with the small phở, the portions are large. And yes, do ourself a favor, get she short ribs!

New owner. Not that short /​short haired lady owner any more. The phở actually taste like phở now. The noodles don’t have the weird powdery taste to it anymore. The last owner seemed to use Cheap products. The new owner has very tasty soup. I come here almost every Sunday.

This place was a total surprise. Love the food and service. The restaurant is beautiful.

WE had a training in Randolph and needed a place for a power lunch and my trusty Unilocal App pointed me here and I am glad it did!
We love Vietnamise food and this place is where it is at.
Wonderful first impression, the family /​owner greeted us with a smile and was super friendly. Asked if were local and asked us how we found them. I told them Unilocal!
The restaurant is super clean! Noted and appreciated on all levels.
We went with fresh rolls with pork and shrimp and they were super fresh and good with the peanut sauce. I could eat those all day!
I then had the Pad Thai with chicken and shrimp (tails on) which the shrimps were a tad overcooked but no biggie. Loved having the nice sauces and condiments to sample on the table.
Outstanding service!
I wish this restaurant was close to me at home?

We found Phở Little Saigon by doing business across the street. Since my partner and I have been dying to try Vietnamese cuisine, we got lucky finding this charming, clean and quiet restaurant for lunch. SOO glad we tried it.
First of all, the owners extremely NICE. The couple was accommodating and friendly. The restaurant is located in a mini strip mall with ample parking. Plus #1. The décor was tasteful and not overdone. Plus #2. Last of all, this restaurant is CLEAN (I mean eat of the floor CLEAN, including the bathrooms). UNBELIEVABLE. Plus #3. Lots of pluses so far.
CRISPY SPRING ROLLS (3) $ 4.50 (4.5÷5)
We loved these spring rolls. There were 3 rolls accompanied by some lettuce wedges and pickled veggies. TASTY. Sauce for dipping was great but could be adjusted with other condiments from the table. AWESOME. Only gripe, they were tiny but would order again.
PAD THAI CHICKEN $ 8.95 (4.5÷5) 6N on menu
My partner loved this dish. It’s very freshly prepared. Tons of chicken and peanut bits. His only complaint, he likes the noodles in the Thai version and not the vermicelli.
GRILLED PORK & CRISPY SPRING ROLL $ 8.95 (4.5÷5) 3V on menu
I love this dish (I meant to order the rice version, ooppss). The barbecued pork was awesome. My complaint is the chicken version has more (look at the pics in the gallery). BUT love freshness of both entrees.
Also, they just obtained their liquor license and they’re happy & proud of it. Good for them and we wish them luck. We love this place but a little far for us; but if in the area, definitely would eat here AGAIN.

Cuisine: Phở, Vietnamese, Chinese
Location: Randolph, MA
My wife and I Love Phở (
) we were looking for new places to try and got this place recommended to us by a new friend on Unilocal.We were so pleased to go
Parking:
Ample designated parking lot no issues. Even with all this snow
Décor /​Ambiance:
Very clean, dark woods very nice
Greeting:
The friendliest little lady you ever met! She is so adorable
Menu mix:
Got all the standards and a few specialties. We came specifically for the Phở buy a recommendation from a Unilocal friend.
Water /​Bread service:
Just got hot tea which was fine.
Drink pour:
We didn’t have cocktails as it was lunch and my wife and I don’t usually roll like that or we would be napping by 4:00
Food quality:
As I mentioned we went there specifically for the Phở noodles. They do an excellent job it’s worth the extra 10 minutes travel time because my wife and I usually go to phở countryside which is closer to where we live. It’s all about the broth! And Little Saigon got some damn good broth. Now I know you have to go to a place several times to judge consistency. Even at our usual place the broth quality can vary quite a bit. It still is always generally very good but at our last visit we had to ask for salt which is very rare. So we will have to visit Little Saigon several more times so we can have a feel of the consistency.
Service:
Super friendly woman took care of us. She was funny and had a great sense of humor.
Value:
Great value pretty consistent with other places I’ve gone to that were similar. These Phở noodle places are generally a great value with cheap eats and lots of great flavor
Bathrooms:
Very clean
Would I return?
We are looking forward to returning
Comments & Tips:
I like that they have extra condiments on the table not just hot sauce, hoi sin and sambal. They also had some additional condiments including this dark brown ground chili paste that I just tried a little bit of but man be careful cause it’s hot!

This place is legit! I had the Phở with beef round and flank… delicious. Comes with giant fresh pile of basil/​sprouts. Vietnamese iced coffee was perfect as well. The décor is bright and new. This is my first time here so I’m not sure if this place is new our remodeled but it is nice. It’s right next to a $ 0.99 store so I was worried when I arrived but the interior atmosphere is very clean, calm, and nice.
I well definitely return.
P. S. HAVE THE FLAN! It is served with ice, interesting and SO YUMMY!
