Viet CITRON @ Burlington

We drove by this place before but it was the first time we ate at Viet Citron. Had quite high expectations, and they were met! The interior didn’t superficially meet the ratings indicated: it looked more like a casual, take-out place. But, the food was amazing. The beef broth was delicious, and many vegetables were given. Highly recommend!

Cute quality spot with open grill and some outdoor space. Excellent food made to order. I customized my rice bowl with grilled shrimp ( huge shrimp and very well seasoned). Also had to fried pork belly…good serving size. The Vietnamese iced coffee was strong like I ❤️. Loved dine in so much I braved the traffic on the way home from work for a to go order and the service send food quality was still the same. My new weekly go to when I want high quality food and done have desire/time to cook at home 💕💕😋

This is a review for the Viet Citron that recently opened in Kendall Square. Viet Citron clearly posts their prices (as they note in their responses to reviews), but potential customers should be aware that a bowl of pho with tip can be upwards of $20-$24 which is much higher than most Vietnamese restaurants in the area. That being said, the portion size was substantial. Their broth is rich with flavor, but for those that don’t prefer a heavy, oily broth should be aware that it’s a little greasier than I’m accustomed to. The quality of the ingredients were great. I wish that chicken pho was a standard item on their menu for those who want a lighter broth, but it wasn’t offered at the time I visited in Kendall.

I've been going for the past 3 years, and the quality has stayed high the whole time. I always love getting either the pho chin or pho tai with extra meat, but the portion sizes are excellent and it's always incredibly good. This place is top tier, and I'd highly recommend going if you're willing to splurge a bit!

Hands down, the best chicken pho I’ve ever had. Broth was amazing! No precooked dried out chicken breast here. Freshly grilled dark meat chicken was delicious. Wife had the crispy pork belly which was fabulous. Highly recommend!
