"Get the Crackling Roast Pig Banh Mi!This is one of the best things I've eaten this year! I've never seen this Crackling Roast Pig Banh Mi on any menu before so I don't know about the authenticity but this sandwich is seriously amazing!Everything you expect out of a great Banh Mi is here, great crusty bread, fresh pickled and crunchy veggies, and just great contrasting textures/flavors. The kicker is the tender morsels of Roast Pig and the Avocado creama of some sort which ties everything together. I didn't really get the crackling part but it didn't matter, this sandwich has a lot of great things going on! I tried one bite of this sandwich while driving and needed to pull over to finish the sandwich, I couldn't put it down!This mom and pop totally cares and made sure I felt welcome on this visit and future visits. I'll definitely be back again for sure!The only challenge is that there's no place to sit and even worse, finding parking in this area of town is downright insane. Order ahead on your phone and make a beeline to a safe place for a quick bite!"

Daleng Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (158) • $

"My go-to for Asian takeout in West Philly! I order pickup in advance and the only time it wasn't ready on arrival was when they first open at 4pm. My greatest hits:1. Chow Fun in gravy with Chinese kale and tofu 2. Tang Tang wings, no rice and extra spice (mop up the sauce with broccoli)3. Kroeng stir fry with anything 4. Singapore Mei Fun with shrimpI don't really drink but there's a ton of beers in the case behind the counter including Evil Genius."

Tai's Vietnamese Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (69) • $

"I love Tai's! Their lemonade is very good, and I swear it's got a bit of lime in it, too.I really enjoy that they have ho fun because I love myself some big fat noodles. I don't know anywhere else on campus where you can obtain such a fat noodle.Their steamed dumplings are to die for.If you like bubble tea, this is the place to be."

Banh Mi Cali

★★★★☆ 4.3 (114)

"I went here on a weekday around lunch. An older man was sitting up front and got up to take my order and was pretty friendly. It also only took like 5 minutes to pull together my vegetarian hoagie which was great. Heads up that it is cash only.I took it over to Franklin square since the weather was nice and I was happy with the fresh bread. I didn't get the spicy version but I think I will next time because I think it could use just a tad more flavor. It was still a great lunch for $7."

Cafe Cuong

★★★★☆ 4.4 (107)

"So good, solid and dependable spot for Vietnamese hoagies. They take Venmo now!Their classic banh mi is delicious and is perfect for lunch or dinner. Or breakfast, which I just had..."

Le Viet Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (338) • $$

"My friend and I came here on a whim for dinner one night and had a great meal. It wasn't very busy, so service was quick and attentive.We started out by splitting a bao bun with crispy tofu, carrots, scallion, cucumber, and hoisin sauce. The bao was nice and fluffy, but not the best I've ever had.For my main entree, I got the Bun Dau Hu Cha Gio Chay (vermicelli dish) with crispy tofu, a veggie roll, lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and peanuts. It was really yummy and refreshing on a warm summer night.Overall we had a solid dinner and I'd return, probably in the fall or winter for a cozy, warm dish!"

Pho Cali

★★★★☆ 3.5 (144) • $

"I've made a couple trips here. Preferably, the only Vietnamese stop I'll go too in DE. Not that there are many anyways, but must appreciate one that will make me return.My usual would be the, Special Pho, that comes with all the meat assortments. Although, I feel at times that their broth is lacking something and I can't really seem to pin point it. Most places, summer rolls are in orders of two. However, this one serves four rolls per order. Which is a plus, but seemly their summer rolls are a bit disappointing and would be something I wouldn't order again. There were no herbs, chives, or a slice of cucumber. They used shredded cabbage instead of green or red leaf lettuce and I also noticed they used bean sprouts as fillings mixed in with the vermicelli noodles. This spot isn't the best or either the worst. Just somewhere in between."

Pho 75

★★★★☆ 4.1 (170)

"Pho 75 (at this location) serves many varieties of pho and beverages. It does not have summer rolls, buns, or other Vietnamese dishes you may see on other pho restaurant menus. I think it was the first pho in Philadelphia (I haven't checked this) it was also the first pho I ever tried. Pho75 (this location) serves the best broth I've ever tasted. Its not fatty (yay)! It's serious pho! My friend ordered the rib eye and brisket. I'd the beef and meatballs. The broth was the star of the show as it should be. The service was prompt and the ambiance is quiet at 2:30pm. No need to order the large, the regular size is huge! If you want serious pho, go there!"

Pho Ngon

★★★★☆ 4.2 (22)

"I got the lunch special pho. You get to choose any regular pho and it comes with choice of Tom yum or wonton soup and egg roll or summer roll and 2 dumplings. Thai iced tea was $2. I got the Tom yum soup which I actually thought was the best thing of the meal. It had a really good flavor that I feel like most Thai restaurants lack. The summer roll was fine but missing the peanut sauce. It only had the other sauce that you use for fried dumplings. The dumplings were okay. I got the beef ball pho. I know a lot of places generally don't give many beef balls but this bowl was so sad looking. I think it might have been 2 beef balls cut in half for 4 pieces. The soup flavor was a little off, tasted a little too sweet for me and didn't have the depth that I was looking for. I'll give them another chance and try of the rice dishes next time."

Pho Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.7 (103)

"Yes, the Pho is pretty good here, but the star of the show is the bun thit nuong.I order delivery from here quite often and everything always arrives fresh, and we'll packaged. With it being summertime, I was not in the mood for a hot soup this time around and ordered the vermicelli with grilled pork. I was surprised to see smaller grilled pieces rather than a pork chop, but oh my gosh, this is so much better. The pork was so flavorful and so tender. I did take off one star because the amount of sauce provided for the dish was not quite enough to cover the amount of food. Please do not pass on this dish!"

Pho Ha Saigon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (147) • $

"One of my go to spots for quick Vietnamese since they serve both rice and noodle dishes. My son is a broken rice platter lover and my daughter would eat pho every day if she could. So the best place I know that has both that are decent is this place."

Cafe Vinh Long

"Yum! A friend just introduced me to this spot and their wet cakes. Hot BBQ pork banh mi and the pork buns are delicious too! So tasty and really reasonably priced!"

iPho

★★★★☆ 4.3 (20)

"Sometimes you expect to find great food in great and expensive restaurants or go in the search of a decent lunch to restaurant. Sometimes food trucks have great pictures and a lot of buzz but when you get their and order you are able to see that restaurants are in mortar and brick. In this case, I must tell you... It is NOT just hipe. This place delivers such great quality and quantity at a supper affordable price, almost everything in their menu is 6bucks. Which they should keep because is a great hook once you taste the food and realize that is truly amazing. This little food truck should definitely be in one of those food network episodes about food truck eateries."

"Legit Philly Pho! Simply delicious! Clean broth and less MSG than NYC options. The parking in the plaza is chaotic but the fo water od was worth it"

Pho Ha Saigon

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (302) • $

"I love Pho Ha Saigon! The food is consistent, so I know what to expect every time I go.They've recently started to charge $2 extra for additional sauce if you're taking the food out. This is a new practice for them, but if you want to swap hoisin for sriracha or chili paste, you can likely do that without paying the extra, but be specific when you order. If you want all of the sauces, you're likely to have the extra fee. If you sit inside, you can use the sauces as you please. It gets busy, but they have plenty of seating, so you should be seated shortly after arriving."

Pho South Corner

★★★★★ 4.6 (27)

"A really solid place for pho! My daughter wanted pho and I thought that sounded like a great idea so we found ourselves at Pho South Corner with big bowls of steamy beef brisket pho. The broth was delicious and the service was absolutely accommodating and attentive. My daughter's boyfriend ordered a broken rice dish with beef and loved it. They also split a mango smoothie while I enjoyed wine from the bottle I brought because this nice establishment is a BYOB! We ate our meal and then continued to hang out and enjoy each other's company while our water glasses were still filled. Don't skip this place. You know pho is the ultimate comfort food and you should come here and get comfortable."

"Another delish meal full of flavor! Really enjoyed the special vermicelli, a plentiful combo of perfectly grilled beef, pork & shrimp, noodles, spring roll & fresh crispy salad veggies! Get it!"

Miss Saigon

★★★★☆ 4.4 (84)

"Miss Saigon was a nice change of scene. At Miss Saigon, you still get your classic dishes but served in a lounge type setting. The cocktails here are AMAZING, by the way. Our party of 3 shared a bunch of finger food type dishes, including the Bánh Xèo Taco, Skinni Mini Bánh Mì, the Thit Kho, and the Combo Lettuce Wrap Platter for 2.Even though this might not look like a lot of food, the three of us were sufficiently full. Everything was delicious as expected, but nothing really blew us away. I have to say the Thit Kho was everybody's favorite dish of the night. A lovely, braised pork belly and pork ribs dish that was packed with so much flavor. The Combo Lettuce Wrap Platter for 2 came with 4 Bánh Khọt, 2 spring rolls, and 2 skewers, and was such a great bang for your buck for the variety and portions we got. The cocktails were super fun, and some even incorporated Vietnamese ingredients, like nothing I've seen before. The cocktails were incredibly well executed and tasty. I would love to have 3-5 of them, but then I would need to be wheeled out of the restaurant. I highly recommend the Miss Saigon cocktail if you like fruity cocktails. Psst, that's the one where they plant a big bubble on your drink, and then smoke flows out when the bubble bursts. Needless to say, we will be back!"

Pho 20

★★★★☆ 4.2 (247) • $

"I love coming here! We usually climb over at Movement Callowhill and work up a big appetite to nosh at Pho 20. The owners are so sweet and friendly, they know we come in and order shrimp summer rolls (the cold rice paper rolls with lettuce and noodles) along with my FAVE: the BBQ tofu banh mi. There has only been one time I came for the banh mi and it was not available - thank goodness! The food is always consistent, quick, yummy, and made fresh! My little one requests Pho 20 regularly, and while she is not currently employed to help with the tab, she does finish her food with a big smile on her face! It's a cute little place on the corner of Vine and 10th street, as you enter Chinatown from Callowhill. There's plenty of space for a table or booth, so we haven't ever had a wait."

Main Street Pho

"A quaint little spot in Manayunk, to pop in and have some nice yummy Pho or any other delightful dishes they have on the menu. My grilled shrimp Pho was really yummy and it hit the spot aaahhhh!! lol the shrimp were grilled to perfection and the broth was on point. The summer rolls were pretty good, I know that they are a simple little recipe, however, they can be hit or miss. I also ordered the black tea which came out in a cute little personable tea kettle. There was a young man an older man and a woman that I could visibly see that were working here and service was good they were very attentive. I definitely recommend going to this restaurant and trying some of their amazing dishes and their hospitality.Enjoy!!"

Cafe Mi Quang

★★★★★ 4.8 (91) • $

"Was new to this style of noodles, and I was definitely pleased with the result. Went with the quang noodles special. The noodles were delicious, a lovely texture and plentiful. The assortment of meat was very well prepared, including the shrimp, Vietnamese ham, meatballs, pork, and beef-the beef was my favorite. The sauce was flavorful and I was grateful that chili oil was available to supplement it. The space itself can seem a bit cramped. We happened to arrive at a good time when a table fitting our party as available, but it seems like the place would fill quickly so you may not get as lucky. Service was super quick. Overall, definitely worth a trek to the area for."

Pho Mi Rittenhouse

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66)

"Pretty decent pho and I recently tried their pork banh me and it was delicious. At first glance it didn't look like a lot of meat, but as I got further into the sandwich it was the perfect veggie to meat ratio. It had so much flavor and the veggies were crunchy. I would definitely order that again! I noticed when picking up my food it's also now a taco/burrito place as well as Vietnamese. Haven't tried the Mexican offerings yet but hopefully they live up to the Vietnamese dishes I've tried!"

Nam Vang Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (45)

"Hidden away in a Chinese supermarket, it's a bit hard to find, but no it's pretty good.I ordered the broken rice with crab patty, bbq pork, on broken rice and an iced Vietnamese coffee. Both took a bit longer than expected to come out, even at 3 pm and only 1 other table occupied. I guess they make everything as ordered, so can't fault that.Broken rice dish was okay. Pork was bbq'd well, but too fatty. Everything else was fine, but there was no egg on top. I'm not sure if this has it on the menu, but elsewhere it usually has a pan fried egg.Iced coffee came pre mixed in a styrofoam cup with ice. It was okay, but I usually prefer the places that being the slow drip out for you and you can mix it fresh with ice.All in all, not the greatest, but not bad if you are doing some food shopping and have time to spare."

Pho Viet Midtown

★★★★☆ 3.7 (23)

"The pho:Just great, generous amounts of meat and noodles. The bowl was chock-full. Delicious strong broth. Good sides--fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, jalapeno pepper and lime. A bowl the size of your head. I couldn't finish it of course, I never can. It was as good as Philadephia's "Little Saigon" pho.The Spring Rolls (summer rolls? salad rolls?) Rice paper lettuce wrap. Come in pork, shrimp and some other varieties. Peanut-Hoisin dipping sauce. Lots of lettuce, carrot and vermicelli and juicy-fresh. The meatballs weren't the best I'd ever had nor the tendon, which I like more overcooked and gelatinous (I got the #2 style Pho with tendon, brisket, flank and meatball) but it was quite good. The noodles were delicious. This was about the best pho I've had outside Philly, which seems to be the magic Emerald City Land and if you stray away from Washington Ave, you won't be getting any good pho around here. One time, someone tossed corned beef in the pho. Oh, no no no. Well, this pho escaped the galactic pho barrier and made it back to Earth. I didn't get to try Vietnamese coffee because it was after five pm and I don't drink coffee late, and I didn't check to see if they had bahn mi but I think they do. (a sort of French bread Vietnamese hoagie.) The decor is clean and pleasant casual. The staff are nice and friendly. Looks like I'll be back a lot."

Pho Ben City

★★★★☆ 3.9 (142) • $$

"I have driven by Pho Ben City hundreds of times. I stopped by for pho and banh mi. At the register, my total was double what I expected from online menu photos. I asked the gentleman about these things, and he said prices changed. I asked for a menu, but he said the order has not arrived. I asked if there was a current website with menu prices, but he said no. I guess the lesson here is to be prepared to lay an arbitrary price for mediocre banh mi and coconut soup.Maybe a second try (not on a Monday) will set the hook for me?"

Masa Asia

★★★★☆ 4.4 (55)

"Came here for lunch and had the steak hibachi, chicken teriyaki bento, and shrimp Thai basil bento. I was pleasantly surprised by the bentos. They come with fried rice, vegetable tempura, California roll (4 pieces), and 2 fried dumplings. The fried items were done well - they were crispy but not overly battered or fried. The Thai basil bentos were a nice flavor change from the typical teriyaki bentos. The steak hibachi came with grilled veggies and fried rice. Steak was cooked well and good. Service was great. Located in a fairly empty plaza with a parking lot. Ambiance is more of a fast casual type spot. I'd come here more for the food than ambiance."

Jojo's Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (41)

"This restaurant has 2 tables and 2 separate rolls.of seating. Really reminds you of a small vietnamese Cafe. This place was on my husband's list of food places to check-out. We were greeted and seated right away. They also have off menu specials. Ofcourse, I tried the Banh Canh cau which is a seafood tapioca noodle soup dish. This was pretty good. All of the ingredients were fresh and even the quail eggs. I really enjoyed the chewy noodles and soup broth.My husband got the bo kho with bread. He said that was good. I added goi cuon which is a summer roll (rice roll with shrimp, pork, lettuce and vermicelli noodles), I was in for a surprise with these rolls. They were huge. The sauce was phenomenal. Homemade sauce that tasted better then any other I have ever had. So you know I had to order one to go.We also got a Vietnamese hoagie to go (dac biet).Have not tried it yet but will report back.Parking is a plenty and metered outside. They close earlier then most restaurants. The plus is they also do catering. The staff were very nice and spoke English very well."

Can Tho City

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13)

"Thinking about this place always makes my mouth water, and I always make it a point to stop by when I'm in Philly. The cart is small and unassuming, but the food is delicious. The only thing I've tried, and the thing I keep coming back for, is the chicken Bahn mi!! The chicken is always moist and tender, and the mayo-based sauce ties the pickled vegetables and bread together beautifully with the chicken. The owners are nice, and are as efficient as possible with getting orders out. I recommend bringing cash to pay if possible."

Banh Mi Square

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (22) • $

"This location has changed hands a few times since I originally came here. Its a small business tucked into the outside hallway in the Oregon Market where there are about 5-6 other businesses... Not a huge menu, but they do offer a few more items other than their Vietnamese hoagies. Standard price of about $4 per sandwich. It's been remodeled since the last time I was there. Although they got my order wrong, I still enjoyed what was made... If I'm in the area and want a quick bite to eat, I'd try this place again."

Oriental Pearl Restaurant

Little Saigon Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (35)

"Pretty good Vietnamese place!We both got Pho. It's a small spot. There seemed to be one guy dealing with the whole front of house, - I don't feel like we waited too long though. The inside of the restaurant was pretty nice. Had pictures of vietnam on the wall. The Pho was pretty solid. Solid choice."
