Delicious food and reasonable price! A huge portions for nearly every dish. The fried chicken is unique and worth it. We’ve tried pho, Pad Thai, chef rice dish and noodles, none of them let us down. Only thing is it can be too warm inside for eating a noodle soup when it’s a hot day. Overall, highly recommended

Delicious food and excellent service! We had the fresh spring rolls, chicken pho, salted fish fried rice, special combination beef pho, and vermicelli bowl with grilled pork, as well as Thai tea and limeade (somehow our wonderful server memorized that entire order perfectly!). Every single dish and drink was delicious, generously portioned, and very flavorful. I appreciate the veggies included in the pho! Great casual eatery and reasonable pricing

I had many pho before, but this could be the best one for a long time. Huge portion, clear and tasty soup, a lot of vegetables. If you have not tried the fried chicken Pho, you need to. The service is really good as well. It seems like a neighborhood restaurant so not too fancy. Very close to BOS airport.

No bahn mí back home in Toledo, so we had to stop here. Everything was so flavorful! Best pho we’ve had since Vietnam.

I stumbled across this place while looking for another restaurant and thought I’d give it a try. I started with the fresh spring rolls with chicken (wrapped in rice paper). They were pretty good. I tried the grilled chicken and vegetables pho. They offer it in large and extra large. I did the large. I ate all I could and I’ve still got more than half to take home. Definitely large portions. Overall, I think this place is pretty good. Nothing negative to say. I’ll come back next time I’m in town.

This is one of the best places around. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and you can tell the food is made with care. I highly recommend the spring rolls and vegetable pho—they’re always great.

New Saigon not only serves the best phố, it's also the most GENEROUS portion around. And I only got the large (there's an XL!). I know I'm lame for getting crab rangoons but the kicker was finding out they have chunks of REAL crab meat. Amazing. The service is incredible and the waitress is always a delight. I enjoyed my dinner alone but there's a lot of seating, invite your friends & family to this gem of a restaurant!
