      If you love noodle soups, you'll love Pho So 1!

      LOCATION: Located in a strip mall, there is a lot of parking available! The space is fairly big but it does get filled up pretty quickly.

      FOOD: Get the Bún Riêu and Nem Cuốn! One of the best crab and tomato soups I've ever had! It's packed with a lot of flavors and most importantly, the crab! There's only one size so be prepared to eat a lot! The pork spring roll was delicious at all and highly recommend.

      SERVICE: The staff was so nice and food came out pretty quickly!

      In my opinion, this spot has the best phở that has had my family coming back consistently for as long as I'ved lived‼

      Their Phở Đặc Biệt broth has the deepest flavor that no where else in the Northeast has been able to replicate in addition to having high quality meats (rare beef flank, brisket, tendon, meat balls), vegetables, and great portion sizes at an affordable cost!

      Bún Bò Huế, a spicy beef and pork noodle soup, is another dish I highly recommend here because they also don't hold back on their toppings of beef slices, pork, and fresh vegetables on top

      As for appetizers, my family loves their eggrolls and their fried chicken wings

      And you can't miss ordering their thai milk tea, sinh tố bơ (avocado smoothie), nước dừa (coconut drink), and of course their cà phê sữa đá (vietnamese iced coffee)

      Must try:
      Phở Đặc Biệt (variety beef phở soup)
      Bún Bò Huế (spicy beef & pork noodle soup)
      Cánh Gà (fried chicken wings)
      Chả Giò (fried egg rolls)
      Thai milk tea w/boba
      Nước Dừa (coconut water drink)
      Sinh Tố Bơ (avocado smoothie)
      Cà Phê Sữa Đá (vietnamese iced coffee)

      Not sure if this Pho So 1 is the same as the one in Quincy, but this one is so much better! The menu is a bit different so I was not sure if they have any relation to each other. I ordered the catfish clay pot, a rice plate, as well as an avocado smoothie, and pineapple smoothie. We did start with egg rolls for an appetizer, which was yummy. The catfish was delicious with the sauce that I could not help but dress onto my rice. I finished all of my rice, which is super rare. The rice plate was also made well. I totally suggest coming here for Vietnamese food if you're looking for a great one to try!

      Food here is alright. I'll
      Give it an 7 out 10 but the service is trash. Need friendlier servers who actually tend to the table. They want to flip the tables fast with poor service.

      Hands down the best pho restaurant in south shore! All of the food is always fresh and comes out quickly even when they are packed. Sometimes they can have quite a wait if you come during prime dinner time so we usually try getting there early to beat the line! I always get the fresh spring rolls and the seafood noodle soup which is made with a chicken broth. They have a lot of different options outside of pho including some traditional plates, rice plates, and more!

      It's very good, solid and I would dine here anytime. It's not too far and my Pho was an easy 5 star. Really big menu, a big dining room and good service. Please be sure to lock your car and don't talk to anyone approaching you. We saw a couple of unsavory's walking the lot and looking for an opportunity. (Pretty much a point off for that.) I had friends from Randolph, it was a great, safe town back in the day. Now it's a suburban hood like all the satellite towns around the city. With that change comes good, cheap and culturally diverse food. SilverLinings.org
      My seafood Pho was a huge bowl chock full of fish a few scallops and shrimp. I like it when they have 2 or 3 sizes for Pho. Of course, I get the largest size and why not for only another couple bucks. The broth was on the expected bland side and in need of enhancement. I'll get the beef next time. The summer roll looked good, the wrap was a bit thick and caused the roll to be chewy. I need to try it again. The peanut sauce while plentiful was loose and also not strong enough of a flavor. Overall: Price was good Food was good Service was good = 4

      Tried out Pho So 1 at random based on Yelp reviews and mainly based on who was still open at 9.30pm!Ordered a Vermicelli bowl and Lomein for takeout. The place did not seem that busy for a Friday late night, but the server who took our order on the phone sure was impatient. Our order was ready for pickup in 10mins. The restaurant is relatively medium sized with seating for about 50, pleasant ambiance. The food was just ok and nothing to tempt me to try again. Both the Vermicelli Bowl with Chicken and the Lomein with sauteed beef were lacking in spices or heat (ordered medium spicy).

      Vermicelli Bowl with Chicken (ok/good)
      Lomein with sauteed beef, Takeout portion (medicore, hardly any spices or heat)

      Not comparable to the other pho 1 in Quincy . My pho came out cold and not that presentable . I ate like 1/4 of it and the coffee was too sweet . Everything lacks flavor here along with the rice dish. Staffs was not really welcoming.
