Went for a Sunday breakfast with a friend. The outdoor patio seating was clean and inviting, service was on point, food was delicious, and the owner T made our experience memorable. Thank you all!

Excellent food, friendly people, busy as hell and long waits. Get the crispy tofu banh mi, fucking amazing!

This place is amazing! The wait staff is incredibly kind and the prices are totally reasonable for what you get. We ordered the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, which was a little different than what I am used to (but delicious!), the hot coco, Grilled Cheezy Sticks and Banh Mi Op La. The pickles were awesome an paired so nicely with the egg of the sandwich and the soft bread. They have a bar type seating situatoin on one side of the restaurant, a booth/chair situation on the opposite wall and then 2 seat smaller tables. They do got a lot of take out orders I noticed as well while I was there. I would absolutely go back in a heart beat.

Thx 2 Chopped, I ate here! Best decision ever, tremendous food, Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich and their Sweet Bacon Jam Redux sandwich are incredible.

very cute, quirky neighborhood spot with great decor and good vibes serving american vietnamese/fusion food! i ordered the thit kho hash and my friend ordered the banh mi op la. we both enjoyed our dishes, very flavorful and super filling, i was stuffed after finishing my thit kho hash. the menu was full of fun options we wanted to try, i would definitely be interested in going back to try the other menu offerings. great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot! staff was friendly and attentive, everyone was very sweet and accommodating. the seating area is nice and spacious, my friend and i were seated at a lovely two-person table.

Late review, but I can't forget the incredible care Huyen and the TBD team provided on my wedding day for my bridal party! Ordering family style for my family , I made sure to order a little of everything to make sure hunger was not a concern with everything else going on - and let me tell you not a single person was disappointed. The food quality and flavors were on point, and they also were also careful to acknowledge food allergies throughout the menu. I wish I had pictured of the beautiful trays, but looking over the order I can remember we smashed all of the breakfast and lunch! Key performers from Bfast: Thit Kho Hash was awesome, and can't go wrong with either banh mi - don't forget the strawberry aoili! Key performers from Lunch: Crispy Pork Belly Bites vanished, and again, each of the sandwiches were super tasty.

Underwhelming food for the price and odd circular plates that felt like a lazy Susan for my breakfast. The Two-Two-Two really isn’t a great deal. Two eggs were tiny and the meager slivers of bacon weren’t enough to justify the side. Even adding fruit to the meal was slightly a drawback and wasn’t great. Also being rationed a small cup of syrup shows how little control you really have over your meal; meanwhile they have all their profits perfectly managed through very small portions.I wouldn’t return to this place, epically with the strange 8am opening. (I typically take photos of my food from my travels… I didn’t even take a shot of a thing here…)

Best chai tea latte in all of Philadelphia — trust me I’ve tried them all. Skylar at the front is a sweetheart. And they accommodate food allergies! The inside is so welcoming and lively. Love this place!

This place is such a hidden gem. I love the ambiance with the plants and such inside. The sweet jasmine iced coffee is amazing. The matcha latte was great too. I also LOVED the bahn mi. The bread was toasted perfectly and it tastes even better than it looks.
