This is only 10 min from IKEA so we decided to come for lunch given the stellar reviews. It’s a small family run place and the food is homey and authentic. I am very happy they didn’t over Americanize the food or drinks. The iced Viet coffee was strong and delicious. Not overly sweet like many other places. Perfect. We had a chicken bbq banh mi, fresh shrimp spring rolls with peanut sauce, and a chicken pho. The banh mi was incredibly delicious! I was delighted they served it with pate which has mostly been eliminated in other places to cater to Western palates but I love the authenticity. It was a memorable banh mi and I cannot wait to try another one. The spring rolls had a generous 4 shrimp in each and the peanut sauce was the perfect complement. The chicken pho was also yummy and recommended. They have a small menu but I suspect every item is made from scratch and with as much care as the three things we enjoyed. I only noticed after eating that another board had “Vietnamese pancake” and I asked if that was bahn xeo - it is!! I will get that next visit as it is one of my favorites. The gentleman encouraged us to also order his mom’s beef stew noodles next time. We will! We had the opportunity to chat with owner Amanda who is friendly and treats her customers with kindness and respect. People came in to order their boba drinks but they should try the food as well. If you are lucky enough to live in the area, please come and support this small family owned business. You will be rewarded with delicious food and drink as well as...
Read moreI cannot say enough good things about Stoughton's newest restaurant, and a welcomed one. We don't have too many Vietnamese options around these parts, and I've found myself often to venture out to Quincy or Randolph when jonesing for some pho so I'm very excited to welcome this shop.
It's clean, it's bright, and a breath of fresh air. They did a killer job with the layout and there's a decent amount of seating at the counter and tables. Their menu has all kinds of awesome appetizers, some pho options, and plenty of drinks, both smoothies and teas.
I proceed to order some fresh beef spring rolls which were awesome and came with a delicious dipping sauce. Two rolls in the order. It's not on their menu but I'm glad they suggested it when I was talking to them about my order.
I also proceeded to order their classic cold cut banh mi sandwhich ($8.99) which was very traditional. The baguette was slightly dry (which is what you want) and the pate and cold cuts were very well distributed and everything tasted fresh. The chili in there were perfect and not overwhelming. It was the best banh mi sandwich I've had in years and lightyears better than any I've had in the area by a mile.
To cap my order off, I also went with a Taro and Coconut smoothie with 2 types of boba and they asked me how sweet I wanted it which was awesome because I didn't want it too sweet and it was absolute perfection. I might go back and get another tomorrow.
The staff is friendly and the food excellent. Don't hesitate to come here, you...
Read moreBanh Mi Boba & Me is Stoughton’s best Vietnamese Restaurant. This little hole in the wall is a place I drive by everyday and if you don’t turn your head at just the right moment you drive right on by without noticing it. The bright signage helps attract the eye, sporting a bright Blue Green and Orange Logo on an otherwise White home looking building. Once inside the restaurant is bigger than you’d expect. The dining room is filled with lively greenery around the walls and has several tables along with a counter. I called and asked what the most popular is and was told the Filet Mignon Pho. I ordered and when I popped in to pick my order up to go I decided to switch it to eat in. (It’s soup I didn’t wanna have to eat it in the car!) As soon as I took my first bite, I fell in love. I’ve been itching to go back since the other day. I wanted to try some more of the stuff but I’m starting to think I gotta get me some more of that Filet Mignon Pho! I thoroughly enjoyed not only my meal but also my dining experience. Never have I ever sat alone in a restaurant and ate by myself, however, I felt as though I was dining at a friend’s kitchen. This is a very good family owned establishment and I highly recommend everybody reading this go and...
