The Boat is a hidden gem! The fresh rolls were amazing—packed with flavor and served with the best peanut sauce I’ve ever had. The grilled pork with vermicelli noodles was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and super satisfying. Highly recommend!

Food was authentic and fresh. The meal was delicious! I had the Shaking Beef and my wife had the Beef Pho, both were amazing. Best Vietnamese food i ever had. The service was great. Very friendly and polite. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed. Visiting from Arizona. Glad we found this place.

This is a gem of a restaurant that we found thanks to the great online reviews, and it did not disappoint! Ordered the Lemongrass Chili tofu (which I was told is one of their best sellers), pho (authentic just like I had when I visited Vietnam), and Vietnamese iced coffees. Everything was delicious! Would highly recommend this restaurant and I hope to visit again.

My girlfriend is Vietnamese and she recommended this place when she knew I was coming to Clarenville. Her praise was well warranted. This place is amazing. Very friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere and I had the broken rice (Cơm tấm). Very large portion and very delicious. I can't give this place enough stars!

The Boat is one of the best restaurants in Clarenville. The menu has something for everyone, even vegan options. They season everything very well. They make all their sauces from scratch. I really enjoy eating here. The service is great. The owner will make good recommendations. She is so kind and very proud of the food she serves. I also love the atmosphere. They keep the place clean and play very relaxing music. I would not expect to find a restaurant like this here in Clarenville. It’s a gem
