" Disappointing visit to Boda after hearing such good things. The wonton soup was bland, and the dumplings lacked flavor as well. The service felt rushed, which didn’t help the experience. I expected better quality and will be on the lookout for something more satisfying next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Boda was a family favorite growing up, but during my recent visit, the quality seemed to have slipped. My noodle dish was oily and not up to par with what I remember. The atmosphere, while comforting, was a bit too busy. I’ll give it another shot in the future, as I've loved this restaurant for many years. " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my last experience at Boda was not what I expected. We waited a long time for our meals and the staff seemed overwhelmed. When the food finally arrived, my dish was undercooked which was disappointing. While I've always enjoyed the authentic flavors here, I left feeling frustrated. I hope to give it another try when the service is better, as I know they can do great food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just started going to Boda, and what a delight it has been! The bun cha is to die for, and it gives me a taste of Vietnam without leaving LA. The staff is friendly and eager to help. Atmosphere is casual yet comfortable—perfect to relax with friends over good food. I can't wait to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Boda for lunch last week and was not impressed. The food wasn't as fresh as I expected, and my soup had way too much oil. I also found the atmosphere to be quite lacking, feeling a bit crowded. I might try again, but my first experience didn’t quite hit the mark, unfortunately. " (*Curated Review*)

" Boda's banh mi is simply the best! Always fresh and packed with delicious flavors. The staff are welcoming, and the atmosphere is always bustling yet friendly. I have been coming here for years and plan to continue doing so! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a find! Boda is a gem in the heart of the neighborhood. I fell in love with their tom yum soup on my first visit. It’s full of vibrant flavors and has the perfect level of spiciness. The service is generally good; however, one time it was quite slow. The staff are always friendly and eager to help. If you want a taste of authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place to go!
