I go here all the time! It is a great place to buy Vietnamese pastries, smoothies, and lunch to go. I love the Vietnamese iced coffee and Watermelon fruit drink. Very tasty cheap eats, the best Vietnamese fast food in Dorchester and a 5 min walk from the house! Where else can you get an authentic, super fresh, banh mi sandwich for $4?

Great food, drinks, and ambiance close to home. I love the "Giannone chicken under a brick" and the "Penne Bolognaise." This is a reliable place if I want a nice dinner without having the hassle of looking for parking and going into downtown.

This is the quintessential breakfast/lunch spot in Dorchester! Everyone who is anyone goes here, even the Mayor! He has a two family house on Tuttle, two blocks away. The type of food served here is short-order/diner style food.

Drinks & Nightlife

I used to go to this place 2-3 times a week. This place was like home to me. Sadly, now that we have kids, we don't go much, but we wish we could. I went to this place for the excellent libations/bar service (Paul Manzelli) and the excellent food (Chef Pooler.) If you can trek out to this place, either early when they open right around 5:30PM, or late after 10PM, you will have an excellent experience. You must call ahead to see if Paul is tending the bar.
