Huong Que Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Boston

I’m a first generation American citizen with Vietnamese immigrant parents. Every dish has come out exactly how my family back in VN makes it. Full of flavor - rất là ngon ne mọi người

There is a HEFTY amount of protein in every dish and not a crazy amount of noodles or rice like other places do. Nhiêu thịt và vừa vừa bún hoặc cơm.

Bún bò Huế - FAMILY FAVORITE Bánh Canh Cua - what I ate last night Hu tiểu nam van BOTH DRY AND WET version (dry version is secret menu item) Phở - better than any other pho places in Dorchester. Trust me. The best part? Reasonably priced and small tight menu.

Small menu means their pantry is limited which means it is most likely fresh all the time. Huyết is so fresh there - I hate the taste of old huyết so the fact that I can eat this is proof in the (blood)pudding (pun intended for my bilingual friends out there)

And to finish it off? I brought my mother here after and to my surprise the chefs came and recognize my mother. The chef asks about my mom’s MOM. Guys I’m 30 and this older lady recognizes my mom from when she was younger. I guess she has roots in our hometown and she knows my grandma. Small world.

But that’s why the food is so good. These are Vietnamese grandmothers bringing the taste of home, here.

Your support won’t be be in vain - the food...

Just an overall bizarre experience. We sat down and we immediately ordered crab Rangoon as an appetizer along side beef skewers. The waiter seem to have gone in the back and what I thought put in the order. He came back with water and we figured since it took him a while to come back to our table we should put in our main food order. Mind you there was one other person, so it shouldn’t been as slow service as what it was.

Eventually the food came out but not our appetizers, we didn’t mind figured it would come out later. I will say however the food was great and delicious.

We ordered salty lemonade and the drinks were really off and we could not finish them.

Overall just a weird dine-in experience, the food was great though, so I...

For a quick late lunch I stopped by Huong Que. It wasn't busy since it was Wednesday, New Year's Day, and 1:30pm. I even found street parking a block away.

I ordered the bun bo hue ($14.95) and spring rolls w/shrimp and pork ($5.95). This all arrived within 5 minutes.

The bun bo hue had decent portion size and nice springy rice noodles. The funky spiciness that sets it apart from other noodle soups, however, seemed absent. It takes like slightly spicier pho, instead of the robust funky flavor I expected.

The spring rolls had decently fresh rice paper and vermicelli. The shrimp also had a nice bite.

I'll probably come back and try their pho and seafood. That...
