The foods on the menu were TOO $$PRICEY$$ for TOO ORDINARY dishes. I would recommend Pho Duong Dong on Otis Street. —HuongTran

2008-05-11 12:19:47   My husband and I stopped in to the Public Market location today for lunch after some Flower Day shopping. First of all, the interior is beautifully decorated with a nice drop beam ceiling and tranquil water wall in the middle of the space. We were warmly welcomed in to be seated and the owner provided a menu and some details about the dishes offered. My husband ordered a Vietnamese Coffee (very rich coffee drink served hot or iced with sweetened condensed milk stirred in) and I had a fresh squeezed lemonade, for our entrees I ordered Chef's Special with chicken (choice of chicken, beef, pork, tofu or veggies offered for all dishes) and my husband had the beef combo Pho. The food was excellent, the ingredients were all very fresh and perfectly cooked. Our bill for a this great lunch came to $21 before tip, friendly service included. FYI: they don't take credit cards! This place is open 7 days a week at this location and we'll be back for sure! —StephanieTodd

2008-05-18 11:38:37   Le LemonGrass is now serving Dim Sum at the Public Market location on Saturday and Sunday. I had the Dim Sum this morning and it was delicious. Recommend the pork shumai and the chicken potstickers. —KimBee

In the summers they'll open the shutters and let the breeze in. Nice beer list as well. I ordered a big bottle of Ommegang Abbey ale with my meal last time I was there. Don't let the outside appearance (abandoned) deter you. It's quite warm, clean and lively inside. —ErikReinert
