This unassuming restaurant, a hidden gem discovered thanks to my dad, quickly changed my expectations. While the exterior may not be impressive, the seafood is truly exceptional. The jellyfish salad, a standout dish, is fresh and bursting with sweet and salty flavors. While I'm not typically a fan of restaurant fried rice, this one was remarkably homey, thanks to the use of "wok hay. The service was efficient and unobtrusive, in the classic Chinese/Vietnamese style where you're left to enjoy your meal without unnecessary interruptions!

I love their salt and pepper chicken. They are always pleasant when I come. Very clean.

The food is freshly prepared, tasty and delicious. Service is quick and friendly. The ambiance is inviting and relaxing. The establishment is very clean and neat. A definite must try. Grade A+

Let me tell you, one of the best viet places around. It's not one of your stereotypical pho places with 2 other dishes. These are viet dishes.Banh Canh Cua, Bun Rieu, Ca Bong Trung Rang Muoi... 110% would come back.

A group of us came and did a family style meal. We got fried chicken (canh ga chien), salted spicy capelin (Ca Bong Trung Rang Muoi), salted spicy crab and squid, and sweet and sour catfish hotpot (Lau Canh Chua Ca Bong Lau). Everything was great: I would recommend the salted spicy crab and squid and sweet and sour catfish hotpot (comes with vermicelli noodles and vegetables, and use the fish sauce to dip the fish in (and other items if you want)) The restaurant is on the smaller size compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, with only two servers at the time. But they definitely worked hard and were great.

As a Vietnamese, I think the food here, flavors are similar to the one that I have tried back in VietNam. So if you are looking for authentic Viet dishes, this restaurant is for you. However, I would not get Banh Cảnh Cua, solely because I can't taste or see any crab meats. The restaurant is a little small, but definitely have spaces for dine in. The food come out pretty fast, and the staffs here are really nice. They make sure you have everything you need as quick as possible.

Everything I've ordered here so far has been spot on! This is a relatively new (at least in the last 10 years since I've come back to Dorchester) vietnamese restaurant. The staff are always really friendly and offer iced tea right when you get in and sit down. I ordered the salt toasted pork chop plate which was huge. The pork chops are super moist and crispy when you take a bite and the portion size is huge. The grilled chicken with rice reminded me of my childhood. The chicken was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Their salt toasted squid and soft shell crabs are great if you love seafood and calamari style dishes. Just be aware that they can be a bit spicy, so make sure you let them know if you want it mild. Adding pork chops to that dish will run you an extra $6, but it's a huge plate. I also loved their spring rolls and garlic snow pea leaves. They absolutely love up to any Chinese restaurant in quality and flavor. Their fried tofu and fixed vegetables are also solid dishes if you're going vegetarian. Overall some dishes can be a little pricey if you custard customizing dishes, but the portion sizes definitely make up for it'

This was my first time trying these dishes and having a family style Vietnamese meal at a restaurant. These dishes were great picks with plenty of flavor. The menu has so much to offer too. I found the food to be a little bit too salty for me but maybe I'm just not used to these flavors yet.

If you want authentic Vietnamese food, this is definitely one of the best ones in Dorchester. The lobster with ginger scallion or with salt and pepper is very tasty!! They have the tank so the quality of the seafood is good. The owner used to own Saigon Seafood down the street, so they definitely know how to make good food :) I also like their chicken hot pot. It is very unique. They make broth with chicken and lemongrass, and then serve with a lot of veggie. Highly recommended. The place is not that big though. Service is hit and miss, but hey, this is not fine dining.
