My go to spot for the best most authentic Vietnamese food. They make hu tieu nam vang just like my ông nội used to make it and their bun Bo hue is one of my favorites. Really can’t go wrong with anything else there too!

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.

Best Pho I’ve had in Philly! Banh Mi’s are amazing as well.

I've been stopping by here most Monday evenings for over a year when in Philadelphia and pick up several Banh Mi (Ga, Chay and Thit Nuong) for dinner or to save for school lunches the next few days. Often get a rice, noodle or pho dish as well. Always great food for the price.Vegetarian options: I'm not vegetarian, but I enjoy the selections and can easily go meat free here.

One of the authentic restaurants in the city for Vietnamese food. I've only had their pho ga (chicken pho) and chao long (intestine congee). I gotta say that they have one of the best chao long around. The meat aside, the profile of the soup itself is complex and flavorful. This is good as it gets for eating out. Congee a lot of the time is a miss so I'm excited to find a place that has good congee. As for pho ga, it was just okay. Not the best around. However, I'm looking forward to trying out their other dishes.

This is where I go when I don't have time to cook Vietnamese food at home. Tasty food and great portions. There's also a decent selection of vegetarian dishes to choose from.Everything I've tried from them has been delicious, but if you're in the mood for phở, I recommend dining in for their Phở Special (P10).

One of the best spots for viet food in town! This place is a small business with a homey atmosphere. No need to wait to be seated, you can walk right in, order, and have a seat and they will bring the food right out to you as it’s ready. I’ve been here plenty of times and have never had a bad experience. The food is always delicious and priced right. How can you beat a $6 banh mi in this day and age?? Generous portions too. Q is the best, he always makes sure everyone is taken care of. Definitely recommend showing some love to this spot!
I fell in love with this restaurant after my first experience years ago. Back in 2017, I had fallen ill with a terrible flu during a bad snowstorm and I couldn't leave my apartment for days. I desperately needed something to fuel and warm my aching body. I called several restaurants to see if they could deliver with very little luck. I kept getting turned down because of the snow. When I finally dialed this restaurant, an older lady answered whom didn't speak much english. Much to my surprise, she said she would deliver to me. It took a few minutes to place my order since we both had some difficulty understanding one another. After providing my address as well as relaying what I wanted to eat, it was a waiting game. I honestly had little hope but after about an hour, I got a phone call letting me know the food was outside. I rushed downstairs and I believe it was the same lady that had taken my order! She had a big smile on her face even though she had just made a trip through snow and sleet.The food literally cured me. I got a beef pho and some chicken congee that lasted me for a few days. Even after reheating, it tasted just as good if not even better.Anytime I am sick now, I always think back to that time and remember the care, warmth, and love I had received from this place. That chicken congee seriously works wonders and is a remedy for my colds. I've been to this restaurant countless times since then to show my support and you should too. You can't go wrong with anything here and the staff is always so nice. I'm not sure if they still deliver though.

We stumbled upon this place when the next door place (Cafe Diem) had no empty seats. We were hungry, wasn't expecting much but boy were we surprised when we took a chance on this unassuming cafe! Hubby got the house special pho and my toddler and I shared a seafood pho! This is probably the BEST tasting pho we've had! Priced reasonably, both soups were amazing, lots of meat. We will come back for sure!!!!

Love this place because they prepared all my items fresh and every one of them was exactly what I wanted. I love finding delicious vegan options at a spot NOT specifically advertised as being vegan. Simple items prepared without any fuss. Tofu summer rolls and Tofu bahn mi equal a #WinWinSituation ?✌?F.Y.I. I ate at this place three days in a row. Yes. It's that good.

The food here is awesome. The banh mi is one of the—if not the—best in Philly and you simply cannot beat the price. The bbq pork and tofu are mouth watering.
