Where Vietnamese Pho Meets Unforgettable Catfish Spring Rolls! 🐟🌯
Pho Le Restaurant We came for the pho (which was amazing, btw 🍜), but ended up obsessed with their grilled catfish spring rolls—especially the "BBQ Duck Roll, But Make It Fish" version! 🤯 📍 Address: 1356 Dorchester Ave, Boston, MA 02122 The Star of the Show: Grilled Catfish Spring Rolls 🐈🐠 We blindly ordered the catfish rolls (no questions asked 😅), earning admiring glances from the staff (little did we know…). The crispy fish skin is unreal—like a cross between Peking duck and roast suckling pig! 🦆🐖 Shatteringly crisp, glistening with oil, and packed with tender, savory fish meat (zero dryness or fishiness!). The seasoning? Pure umami magic. 🌯 How to Build the Perfect Bite: 1. Lay out the chewy rice paper (so stretchy, you could wrap a whole fish in it—no joke! 😆). 2. Layer on: crispy fish skin + peanut hoisin sauce + flaky fish meat + tart green apple + pickled carrot slaw + rice noodles + fresh lettuce. 3. Roll it up like you’re crafting a giant, savory mochi burrito—SO FUN! BUT WAIT… THE FISH WAS 4 POUNDS. 😱 We fought valiantly but only made a dent (thanks to already devouring a bowl of pho + 4 BBQ pork rolls). Ended up doggy-bagging a dozen rolls—no regrets, though! 🤤 Pro Tips for First-Timers: ✅ Start with BBQ pork rolls + pho (classic combo!). ✅ Catfish rolls? BRING YOUR BIGGEST EATER FRIEND. (This is NOT a "light meal." 🥲) Vibes & Verdict: Pho Le nails authentic Vietnamese flavors with generous portions and bold textures. The catfish rolls? A must-try spectacle—just come hungry! 🔹 Parking: Street parking available. 🔹 Price: (Worth every penny!) #BostonEats #VietnameseFood #GrilledCatfish #SpringRolls #Pholicious #ChewyGoodness #BostonFoodie #DorchesterEats #HiddenGems
