6 Ơi Kitchen — Restaurant in Boston

Overdue review. Summary: AMAZING HIDDEN GEM

I've been here countless times and always get the udon soup. Their udon soup is made the way that my family makes it, and I have not found another Vietnamese restaurant that makes the soup this style (clear pork broth with peppered meatballs, shrimp, imitation crab, Vietnamese ham). The soup also comes with fried shallots and FRESH chili oil... the details! Whenever I eat at Dot Cafe, I can taste the love that was put into the food. Makes me feel like my mother cooked for me.

Today I also tried the rice soup. As expected, it did not disappoint. The consistency was on point and they also added a bit of preserved egg (overachiever).

Besides the delicious food that makes you feel as if a loved one gave you a warm hug, the prices are unbelievably affordable. My two dishes costed less than $14. Dot Cafe really knows how to feed their community with delicious and accessible food.

Also the restaurant is a mom-and-pop place. You know that you are supporting a small family owned business, which is always great. I am definitely a regular here and will be coming...

I have been coming to this cafe for years now. Located in the heart of Fields Corner, this cafe is one of the best in the area. The Veggie omelet is a favorite of mine. The size of their omellets are incredible and at a limited premium compared to other breakfast places in the area. Vietnamese owned, they take of all of their patrons. I continue to be surprised when my veggie omelet seems to get bigger by the day. Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. You can't go wrong with the house special. While your there, have one of their Vietnamese iced coffee or tea!

Dot Cafe surprised me with exceptional service. Even though the cafe closed early on Sunday, the lovely lady working prepared 3 chicken teriyaki meals for me as requested. This was such a pleasant surprise and a testament to the cafes heart in the community. Although this was a one time deal, it really showed they truly care for...

Solid option for casual and affordable Vietnamese food.

Found this place while looking for something savory for breakfast (beyond the usual diners). Boston’s Asian breakfast options are limited outside of Chinatown, so I ventured down to Dorchester/Little Saigon to try this spot. Similar to 180 Cafe, it was a takeout only spot, but they had a good number of tables for dine-in as well.

Their menu was not exactly a traditional Vietnamese menu. No pho or grilled pork, but a mix of Vietnamese, Chinese, and American. I went with the sticky rice, stir-fried cheese ramen, fried rice cakes, and crispy wontons. Nothing particularly memorable, but the food was warm and comforting overall. The sticky rice and fried rice cakes were my favorites. The ramen, wrapped in an omelette, ended up too dry, and the crispy wontons were underwhelming—small, overcooked, and dry. Next time, I'd skip the extras and stick with just the...
