“The best Pho I’ve had in the city. It’s cash only but they have an ATM there. One of the biggest appeals for me other than the food is that they always seat you immediately and bring out your food practically as fast as you order it. It’s also at a good price point. Depending on when you go parking is usually hard to find so you’re probably better off parking on the street nearby.Parking: Depending on when you go parking can be hard to find. I would suggest looking for street parking as you get close.“
“We had a delicious and super fun dinner at Corey’s! The menu is extensive and they are happy to accommodate any dietary restriction or concern. Flavors were outstanding. I especially enjoyed the chicken curry dumplings and the shrimp vermicelli.Corey was just fantastic. We enjoyed getting to know him and his culinary background. He made us feel so much at home!We did sing some karaoke after our meal lol. We were closing down the shop and honestly it was a blast. I cannot recommend this place enough! For delicious and flavorful take out, call directly. Or come in person for a fun time. You won’t regret it!“
“Went here for birthday supper with my love and u must say it was fabulous. We ordered all vegetarian food because I partake nor of fish nor flesh nor fowl and I was amazed by the rich and succulent flavours for such reasonable prices: it’s a steal. Gentleman running the establishment seemed like a very nice fellow and we WILL be going back. Cheers“
“Such a cute little place!! Got the salt & pepper shrimp w/ rice, shrimp & pork dumplings, and lobster summer rolls. The cashier was soooo sweet and brought our food out to us. It was delicious. HAD to get more dumplings to go!! These pics don't do any justice“
“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“
“Amazing!!!!! The pho and ramen were perfect, this is my favorite spot in philly for a noodle soup. The owner was so sweet too and she gave us excellent service. The place is very small and cozy but so cute! Highly recommend, a hidden gem! They also deliver on all the big food delivery service apps and it's always fresh and delicious!“
“vegan banh mi with braised jackfruit & kimchi was chef’s kiss! my mouth was watering from the aromatics as I waited for my order. really delicious take on traditional vietnamese yet still brought me back to my momma’s kitchen. cafe space was eclectic and very much what I expect from a coffee shop in old city with its cool art & decor. a must stop if your in the area!“
“This small family pho spot is one of the best experiences we've had. They offer vegan and veggie versions of 2 of their soups and their summer rolls. We tried all 3 things and they are wonderful. I'm not vegan but my partner is and this pho could go toe to toe with any non vegan I've had so far. (I prefer the spicy version though)Vegetarian options: You have to ask (they told me they are working on printing new menus)Dietary restrictions: They are very attentive and while there was a slight language barrier they were patient and helpful in every way.Parking: South Philly so parking is not amazing.“
“really enjoyed our dinner. nice relaxing atmosphere. great cocktails....esp their spin on mojito and old fashioned. spring rolls very good. oyster dish outstanding as is Obama bowl, least favorite was shrimp dish with mussels...,dark sauce... very good not great.“
“forget the ambience; it's sketchy in the best way... we've ordered bahn mi twice now and they were consistent, fairly priced, and delicious... tonight we got pho for take-out and it was fantastic... the scalding hot broth comes separate from the noodles and any proteins to be poured over top once you're ready. the hot sauce is hot and the jalapeños are not your baby-stuff-for-babies. these folk will stay on our list.“
“Good pho, with a very friendly and personable owner. We have eaten here twice; once as takeout, which I don't recommend as much, if you are getting pho, and the other dine in, which was a much better experience. (Not that the take out was bad, but pho is a dish that kinda doesn't do well with time. Also, it requires a lot of space as well, so if you don't have the dishes for it, it gets unwieldly.) They accommodated my request for substitutions, and the owner talked with us after dinner for a while. They are very no frills here. It's almost rustic. I asked for hot tea, and it came with no sugar. I look and see there are no sugar packets, so I asked for some sugar, and she brought me out a tea plate with sugar dumped on it. It wasn't enough, but I felt bad enough that I didn't ask for more....things like that. I know they DO take card, but prefer that you use cash, and the owner is still getting her English down, although she has gotten a lot better between first experience and most recent. They are a small store, with maybe 6-7 small tables, but I've never seen them packed. Also, I've only ever gotten pho and spring rolls, but they were both delicious, so I imagine everything here would be good.“
“Bun ho hue was kinda very spicy even though I asked for the lowest level spicy they can do , so be aware of that! Overall food was good. Service was okay. Small restaurant with authentic food. I think the food is kinda expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Philly.“
“I had the pleasure of being served by Ferizal at Vietnam Cafe and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. His professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience. He was knowledgeable about the menu, offering excellent recommendations, and ensured that every aspect of our meal was perfect. His attention to detail and genuine care for their guests made us feel truly valued. I would highly recommend Ferizal to anyone visiting Vietnam Cafe for a memorable dining experience.“
“Came back for a second time in one week. This time, I ordered the grilled pork summer rolls and they are freaking delicious Of course, I am a creature of habit, so I ordered the salted coffee again and it's even more delicious today. Only complaint I have is that they don't offer a larger size!“
“Hands down the best Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) in town!! The broth is so flavorful and delicious. Their banh cuon cha lua is also good. Portions are big with a reasonable price.The ladies in there are very friendly and food comes out really quick. I highly recommend to try their Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is so good. Even though this place is small, but cozy with a lot of different Vietnamese food options.“
“Small, cozy Vietnamese restaurant. I ordered the pork chop rice special. It was great. There was also a duck noodle soup that looked and smelled so good but couldn't get to it. Service was great. They put tables together to accommodate our party or 6. Plenty of street parking outside on a Sunday.“
“Not to be missed for those who like Vietnamese bread and coffee. Order the special croissant and salted coffee. A perfect combination. Moreover, with the variety of drinks (slush, fruits tea, milk tea) my daughter fall in love with their peach tea and lychee tea. Mild sweet & topped with fruits.“
“Super friendly and helpful staff, very eager to help you understand the menu and choose things to try!Delicious meal, Pho was delicious with rich broth. The Shanghai noodles were fresh and full of tasty ingredients, lastly, delicious spring rolls and milk tea!!Nice environment, small and cozy and BYOB, super easy to spend till closing here. Would totally come back!Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetable options for soups and stir fry’s, tofu options and more“
“They are a take out spot with a few tables for a group of 3 or smallerQuality and variety of food is incredible and authentic!Will come back to try their soups, I only got banh mi this time around and they were so fresh and savory. Was so good I almost forgot to take a photo hahaTheir fruit smoothies taste like they put ice cream in there which makes them really sweet, a plus for some. It was tasty but bit sweet for me, next time I'll try the durian ?“
“The food and atmosphere here are excellent! I have a thing for really good crispy Vietnamese Rolls (you know, not too greasy and fresh). They did not disappoint here. Crispy and delicious without being greasy and served with the lettuce, carrots and a delicious sauce. Also ordered the Bun Rieu Cua Dong, a really good crab noodle soup. Has such a good meal ordering some things to go before I leave. This would be a great space for a special event too; it's beautiful. Happy I discovered this place!!!“
“No need to go to Chinatown. Fantastic service. The Pho, the broken rice dishes, and specialty dishes are always delicious. The beef stew with egg noodles is a menu highlight. Get a Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk or a smoothie or try a Rainbow Ice. You won't be disappointed except when they're closed.“
“I had never tried Pho before, but was looking for something warm and spicy to battle this chilly weather we’re having. I ordered over the phone and when I went to pick up my food the owner was so incredibly friendly. He told me about how it gets chilly in Vietnam in the evenings and they’ll make their broth spicy to warm them up. The food was incredible, spicy enough to warm you from the inside and so very flavorful. I will definitely be back.“
“Always love the banh mi here. I work close by so i stop by for lunch frequently. All of the people that work there are very friendly as well :) its a small area so indoor eating can be hard but there is a table available inside if you need to sit down and eat real quick before returning to what you have to do. 10/10!“

“First time trying this place in back of the supermarket. Super friendly man at the counter. He described the foods as we ordered our favorites: Grilled Pork Banh Mi (Vietnamese baguette with grilled pork and vegetables)and bbq roast pork bun. Very flavorful and delicious. Definitely worth a try. Prices are reasonable.“
“Simple, but the food is just good.The menu is very streamlined but each item is excellent. They pay a lot of attention to details, and the effort add up. The end products are true from of enjoyment.Though it is mostly a take out spot, if you want to sit, it has a long table and some chairsPeople here are very chill and helpful. If you have questions, just ask!“
“Ordered the beef stewed with noodle soup and the beef and beef ball noodle soup and it was amazing. We got the egg soda and it was also delicious! I should’ve ordered the regular size instead of a large because the portion size was huge. Will definitely come back“
“This Vietnamese restaurant is a culinary gem, offering an exquisite journey through the diverse and flavorful landscape of Vietnamese cuisine.

A must-visit for those seeking a true taste of Vietnam's culinary heritage.“
“My friend and I tried this place for dinner for the first time, and we both thoroughly enjoyed the food. We ordered the summer roll, beef pho, and the house special vermicelli, which I particularly loved. The customer service was excellent, and the atmosphere was great. Looking forward to coming back for more dishes.“
“Edit: I would avoid take out. It just was not up to par. Proportions were not right. Very disappointing.That being said here is my dine in review- The pho and the bahn mi are delicious ! Fantastic broth. The bread for the bahn mi is wonderfully soft with a thin crisp crust. Can’t wait to go back. I will say the ordering process is a bit off.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian bahn mi that is very good“
“Fantastic food - fresh ingredients, delicious recipes and courteous service. I got the #40 vermicelli and shrimp - deliciously seasoned and grilled - unbelievable flavor. My friend got the steak pho - broth was amazing and the meat was delicious. My other friend got vermicelli with short rip and shrimp - also great. We got the summer roll for the table - everything was super fresh and good. Light and flavorful but filling.“
“So damn good I had to cuss about it. Congee was flavorful and absolutely delicious. Tofu was crispy AF. Yes for those herbs and lemons. Kept my coffee cup full- thank you fam. This place was hitting on all points.?????????????????Vegetarian options: Dishes are clearly marked. Vegan options ??“
“Anise is my new favorite pho in south jersey. Amazingly clean and flavorful broth and tender bits of bovine. Even the limes used as garnish were plump and juicy. Lastly, Anise is clean throughout including the Sriracha bottles on the table which seems rare elsewhere for some reason. Looking forward to coming back soon.“
“Pho Ha is my go-to if I don’t want to cook dinner. Clean place with affordable prices, very open and family friendly style layout. Their pho is excellent but they also have great rice platters, especially the grilled pork and the short ribs. I always get the goi cuon (summer roll) appetizer too, they give you 2 rolls and you can choose shrimp and pork or shrimp and chicken. The pork inside the rolls is easy to bite, not chewy. The peanut dipping sauce coats the rolls well and it has a good peanut flavor.Parking: Parking lot in the shopping center or you can try to park on the streetKid-friendliness: Family friendly restaurant, all ages welcome“
“I’ve been to this location about 5 times and order lunch here quite often. It’s the closest pho place to my work. I always get the same things. Rice noodles in beef broth with grilled chicken. Crispy spring rolls, or fresh rolls. I personally like the crispy ones better.“
