Pho shop was busy on a Friday evening. Ate the vegetarian pho and the vegetarian spring rolls. The pho was tasty and not salty. The vegetables were very fresh and crispy (aka not overcooked in the broth). I ordered some extra boiled tofu and they brought it fresh without any issue or argument. Would definitely come here again to enjoy another meal. Moderately priced, and friendly service.

One of my favorite restaurants in Philadelphia! It's been consistently good for decades. Great food, good service, nice atmosphere. I love it!

Absolutely splendid atmosphere, great seating, music, staff, and especially the food. Best Pho I’ve had in Philly. 10/10 recommend.

After hearing they won the James Beard Award, we had to try this place. Came with my family for dinner and got there just in time. They close at 8 and we were seated at 6:45. Everyone was very friendly greeting us when we came in. Very homey inside and smelled amazing. I got the chicken lemongrass soup which is spicy and it was perfect, also started with some spring rolls. very yummy and food comes out very fast!

This restaurant has very good food and nice decor. Unfortunately it can be noisy and sometimes there is a wait for food, water refills. etc. due to staff shortage. It is worth the wait if you aren't in a hurry. I went back a second time and will continue to go there when I am in the area.

I went here long ago and it was one of the best days of my life - I remember it being amazing and I hope to go back soon

I went here for dinner a couple nights ago and was the best pho I've had. The atmosphere is a little old but the food is good. The server was nice and funny

This review is really more like 3.5 but I wanted to be realistic if you're a Vietnamese person and being really excited that this is a James Beard winner. The good: the crispy egg rolls are pretty amazing. Since it is wrapped in the rice paper and not the traditional egg roll wrapped, it's light and the crispy bubbles are a delight. The service is incredible. I know they received a huge influx due to the James Beard hype and they handled it with grace and good organization. The questionable: While I think the broth has the right notes and such, I was trying think why it tasted so light. It's not exactly a Northern style pho so I realized that the broth must have been a little diluted in some way. It's not as beefy as one would hope for a pho. The bun bo hue was spicy (which very nice) but it lacked the meaty (pork) broth undertone too. I think this is where I'd take my corporate boss, but not where I'd take my Vietnamese family. Everything is fine, but it's not hitting the same.

Pho was good. Service was very rushed. Warning. They close at 8:00 (!?!). We were seated at 7:30. By 8:15 they were removing dishes while I was still eating. By 8:20 they were putting chairs up on tables and sweeping the floor around us.
Their House Special Vermicelli Bowl almost had me believing that God does exist... almost ?

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.

I have been going here for probably 25years since I was a kid now I bring my kids. The food and service has always been great. There is a reason they have been around for so long!!

Really enjoyed my meal and experience here. Everything was fresh and tasty! Staff was great and even though it was busy we weren't rushed at all. The corn pudding was chef's kiss! Can't wait to go back and try the pho. And the flaming volcano was fun and left us with a good buzz hahaha.
