“Went here for a birthday party and the food was SO GOOD. Get all the snails, clams, shrimp, etc—they got it all. Def try the whelk with the cilantro lime sauce. The server was also incredibly nice and attentive. We would go to ask for something, and he was already there with more water, sauce, knife for the cake. Great spot!“

“Mama Ha’s is regular part of my Saturday to load up on food. Always a variety of summer rolls and vermicelli dishes available to go. Funny is I’ve loved just about everything I’ve had but the one I’m most obsessed with is the Xoi Ga which is just sticky rice, scallions and grilled chicken….and if my wife would allow me to just fill our fridge with this I would. Great Vietnamese coffee also!“

“the food was great and we didn’t have to wait to sit or to be served. the staff was friendly and the food is inexpensive for how good it is and how much you get. The interior is on the cozier side, which I liked, and it isn’t too hot or cold. You can pay with cash or card and as I said before it’s pretty inexpensive for what you get.“

“Went in with my entire family for a late lunch. We were seated quickly and our order was taken. Within 10 minutes we all had our bowls of Pho. Fresh, hot and delicious. This place does it right. Best Pho in South Philly.
Go Birds!!“

“First time and we were thoroughly satisfied. Food was ordered in store to go and the service was great. I was greeted, had assistance with ordering my food and I waited patiently. Food came out hot and everything was fresh. I had the shrimp pho with beef broth, veggie pho with veggie broth and tofu summer rolls. Everything was delicious. Will be back to dine in for the experience.“

“**CASH ONLY**
I’ve been here many many times. As a viet, this is my favorite Bun bo hue (BBH) in all of Philly. It’s just sooo good. Their BBH broth is flavorful but balanced between sweet, sour, salty, it’s heavy with herbs and spices such as lemon grass (as this broth should be), while the meat is thick and plentiful. My go to tend to be BBH or banh cuon (also the best around). I’ve also tried their dry noodles and beef pho, both were phenomenal and would reorder again. The food is always fresh and hot, I could tell it was made with care.
The place is small and there may be a wait depending on party size and when you go but food gets served quickly. They serve tea at no charge instead of water (it’s rare to get free tea like this anymore). All the ladies there are very friendly. Highly recommend this place for great authentic Vietnamese food.“

“Wow, truly a 5 star experience. More than just a great meal, we will be remembering this evening for a while. The owner greeted us as we entered for a late dinner. We enjoyed a truly delicious meal. The Golden Bags fried dumplings filled with shrimp and crab were so good! And the seafood curried pineapple fried rice was the best pineapple fried rice I’ve ever had.
And it was one of the staff’s birthday so we ended up staying till around an hour after closing drinking and doing karaoke together. Delicious food and a great time making friends with the owner, staff, and a couple who had just come in to pick up their takeout order but ended up doing karaoke with us! Thanks so much, we can’t wait to visit again next time we are in town, and we wish we knew any place remotely like this at home.“

“My girlfriend and I came to Nam Vang Restaurant for the first time. We’ve always gone to the grocery store next door and noticed how busy this restaurant usually is, so we finally decided to give it a try. It definitely did not disappoint. The restaurant may look a little dated from the outside and is easy to miss if you’re simply walking by, but once inside, we found it to be clean, welcoming, and full of friendly staff.
Overall Ratings
Atmosphere - 4/5
Service - 5/5
Food - 5/5
Parking - Shopping Center Parking Lot
Atmosphere -
The restaurant looks somewhat dated from the outside, but the inside is surprisingly clean and comfortable. It has a simple, traditional feel without trying to be overly fancy. They also sell a variety of drinks, desserts, and smoothies, which is a nice bonus.
Service -
The owners and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. They made good recommendations and were more than happy to accommodate us. When I initially ordered the dry version of the Hu Tieu Nam Vang with egg noodles, I really enjoyed it but wanted to try it with broth as well. The staff were happy to provide me with extra broth, which I really appreciated.
What We Ordered -
-Hu Tieu Nam Vang with Egg Noodles (Dry) - Absolutely delicious. The dry version was flavorful and had a great balance of ingredients.
-Hu Tieu Mi Nam Vang (Dry) - Also delicious. Another great combination of flavors and textures.
-Pickled Spicy Peppers - These were a great addition to the meal. They added a nice kick without leaving that lingering spicy heat that you sometimes get from chili peppers.
Final Thoughts -
I'm glad we finally decided to give Nam Vang Restaurant a try after seeing it packed so many times. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the overall experience was excellent. The restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but don't let that fool you. We would definitely come back again and try more of the menu.“

“The tofu was so well seasoned - dare I say braised? Sometimes banh mis are too dry but this was full of saucy flavor in every single bite. This is well worth traveling for. I had a banh mi at the same hunger level 2 days later, and Pop Up Cafe is incomparable. Updated from previous review on 2026-06-14“

“Have eaten for Bo Ne a great deal. Love the food and have lived in Vietnam and food is very much on par with the actual Vietnamese Restaurants in Ho Cho Minh City and Hanoi. Can not say anything bad for the place. Have frequented since first opened and the original owners.“

“We have been dining in and taking out from Pho Le for @5 years now …the food is always fresh and delicious. I just wanted to say we had take out this evening, and it was OUTSTANDING ! The beef was soooooo tender, the shrimp pad Thai was just the right amount of spice and the summer roll and sauce were out of his world ! We have tried just about every Asian styled restaurant in the area and nothing comes close to this … Their menu caters to all….don’t let the Pho fool you, there is a Chinese section to the menu as well….. enjoy : )“

“The bahn mi was delicious. The toasted bread, pickled veggies and the fresh cilantro made the bahn mi sandwich tasty. The pepper was spicy which was a good contrast to sweet and savory beef. Waiter was friendly and quick.“

“We heard great things about this place, so our family decided to make the one‑hour drive — and it was worth it. The food is authentic Vietnamese cuisine and everything we ordered was delicious. My son loved the pho and the meat, and my daughter enjoyed the mini pancakes and the grilled beef leaves with the sauce. We all had a great meal.“

“Great-quality food, an open, welcoming, clean space, and, most importantly—a great staff. Had to take a selfie because they were so pleasant! Vietnamese restaurants can sometimes be a miss when it comes to professionalism and friendly service, but these ppl made sure our table had everything we needed.
My husband and I shared a meal because we didn’t want to waste food, and one of the staff members—presumably the owner—even came over and offered me a complimentary meal. This place stands as definitely an example of stellar service: nothing over the top, just genuine, honest kindness 💯 💕😍“

“I love the food here. But i went there tonight around 730 and it was frigid outside. Just as we were sitting down to eat our food the worker decided to open the doors to carry all the outdoor furniture in then kept them open while he changed trash outside too. Not a care in the world for how freezing it was for his customers. It was extremely disappointing. We drive like 25 minutes to eat here. May be a while before we do that again.“

“Just had the best banh mi sandwich of my life! Bread was warm and flaky, filling was spicy but not overwhelming, everything was fresh, and it came out in the time it took me to go wash my hands—all for under $6! I stumbled on this place with no expectations, but cannot WAIT to eat here again.“

“Their Banh Mi is absolutely delicious! And for a very reasonable price!! The flavors just melt into your mouth. The staff are very sweet and courteous…even gave me an unexpected, nice cup of unsweetened iced tea with my dine in meal. Very pleasant. Looking forward to dining here again when I’m back in Philly.“

“While it's a typical menu you'd expect from a Vietnamese restaurant, the quality of food is higher than most. Bahn Mi sandwich was amazing, Pho broth was excellent, and my rice combo platter with pork chop was expertly grilled and juicy. Definitely worth a visit.“

“I absolutely love the lychee green tea from this place! I literally get three cups every week 😋 It’s so fresh and seriously delicious, and not too sweet at all. The staff are always super friendly and greet me with a big smile whenever I come in. Also, they recently changed the cup design, and the new cups look so cute! 💕“

“This was the best Cambodian spot I’ve been to. It was tucked away in a small street and looked like a local spot. I’m not from Philly so I was skeptical of it at first, especially with so little reviews.
It was so good. Best spring rolls I’ve ever had. And the broth was clean and delicious. My toddler loved it too. I got 2 #2 and spring roll and it was only ~$30. I will def go again and recommend it to my family and friends.“

“I’ve walked by this spot so many times, and it seemed every time I was hungry they were closed (closed on weekends) but today I finally stepped in. I ordered 2 bánh mìs and a Vietnamese coffee. Pete, the owner/operator of the spot was the only one there and we instantly jumped into great conversation about the music scene in Philly back in the late 90s. We ended up knowing a lot of the same people. Philly is a tight knit group. So even before eating the food I was already a fan of this spot. Pete served me his special take on Vietnamese coffee while we talked and he made the sandwiches. The iced coffee was excellent, but different and less sweet than Vietnamese coffee I’ve had in the past. He also used ice cubes made of coffee which was an added bonus for a coffee junkie like myself. After we talked for nearly 20 min, I walked home with my sandwich and WOW! Such a solid bánh mì! I told him to make it like he would make it for himself (spicy) and he knocked it out of the park. I’ll be back and I’ll be bringing all my music friends here when they are in the neighborhood. I highly encourage Olde City residents as well as Philly locals to give this place a try!“

“Chicken Pho and Shrimp Summer Rolls were both fantastic! Would absolutely come back here. Broth was flavorful with plenty of noodles and chicken. Summer rolls came with a delicious peanut sauce...I think the best peanut sauce i've ever had. Perfect consistency fantastic flavor.
Arrived at 1130, by the time I left at 1245 the place was very busy!“

“I’ve been getting banh mi from Cafe Cuong for over 15 years, they have the best banh mi in town. However, last time I went in 2025, the young guy at the counter overcharged $5…this is not about the 5 bucks that he try to steal, it’s about even with loyal customers, he’s still trying to to screw over. Really smart running the business..I stop going!“

“A cute coffee shop with great drinks! For those familiar with the scene in Houston, their pandan foam coffee is similar to Le'DRIP, but with richer coffee notes and their lychee matcha is similar to that of Kohiko's (though nothing will beat Kohiko in my heart!). It was really nice to get good Viet coffee !! (We've been struggling to find a good spot 😭)“

“Since the closure of the Thanh Thanh restaurant on Kensington Avenue, I have not visited the new establishment until today. The Pho Ga served here is exceptionally delectable. Additionally, the restaurant has a really clean and welcoming ambiance.“
“We always come for the hoagie and coffee, grab and go. Don't be fooled by the lackluster neighborhood and surrounding area, Vinh Long Cafe is an amazing Vietnamese cafe and restaurant that is surely overlooked and underrated. It is a secret gem in South Philly. The Vietnamese iced coffee is made perfectly and the Vietnamese hoagie is unbelievably fresh and authentic. One reason it doesn't get the visits and accolades it deserves is probably due to its environment. Often the cafe seems to be filled with only local friends or family just hanging out. Sometimes the place is completely empty and they play traditional news or music. It doesn't seem too welcoming to those who don't speak the language, but don't be intimidated as this is just the traditional ways of the people there. Just walk up to the owner - who is always at counter - and ask for a Vietnamese hoagie and coffee. They make the hoagie on order right there in front of you. It's fresh and as authentic as it gets. Eat there or take it to go. It's worth the try.“

“I've tried countless pho places and I only go to one spot I like. Welp, I found a new favorite now. Amazing food, the concentration of flavor, the depth, amazing, mind blown. Not just pho even the sides and drinks. I can tell the owners really do care. A fan of the cozy cute vintage design interior too. They were busy especially with the take outs on my tuesday visit.“

“Banh mi ngon has been a solid place for me. I have been exploring several Vietnamese places in the area including Pho 75 (pho bo), Ba Le Bakery (bahn mi), Ca Phe Roasters (Vietnamese coffee), and Cafe Diem (bun Bo Hue) but this place has been absolutely delicious. They have fried tofu and grilled pork belly Banhmi which make them very unique and delicious! Ialready visited this place multiple times!“
