Pho Ben City

Authentic Vietnamese dishes! We came here several times for the beef carpaccio. Honestly, I could probably come here and make a meal out of all of the appetizers!

I was in the Willow Grove Mall area and wanted to get some Pho and Vietnamese iced coffee. This is the pho place I have been searching for. This review is only for their beef pho. I did not need to add anything to the broth except for sriracha and hot oil because I like it spicy. Usually I would need to add fish sauce or soy sauce because there would always be missing something that I can't quite figure out. But this place perfected their broth. The iced coffee was bitter and mildly sweet - just how I like it!Staff were very friendly and engaging and place was very clean. Too bad I live an hour away but kinda glad I live far away because I would be going everyday.

So, heard good things about this place from a friend, and we walk in and see the waiter from one of our favorite pho places in the city (Pho Xe Lua, "choo choo")! We've gone to Pho Xe Lua since the late 90s, and it has always been one of our favorite places to go, and it was such a trip to see the same waiter at this seemingly random pho place in Abington!In any case, we might have been biased with seeing our old waiter, but the pho was great! Broth was solid and had depth. Summer and spring rolls were clearly rolled to order and also solid! House fried rice also had a very familiar feel and taste, and we were very pleased. Looks like we found our new pho place close to home.

Upset about this place because I drove here to see if I can try out their pho. To my surprised, it was not opened at 1:15pm! Now i'm wondering are they even in business?

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?

This place is a gem. It's under new management. In my opinion, this is better than the last owner. Excellent quality!

New owners and food. The pho broth is flavorful and the meat is fresh and tender not dried out. I really like the egg rolls because it's has more meat than taro and the wonton filling has shrimp. Rice is soft and fresh I hate dried out rice. Meat portions are filling and marinade is pretty good. Pork chops were caramelized with little hints of lemongrass.

New Owners and outstanding food and service! We always leave happy and satisfied. This our go-to restaurant in the area. Recommend Pho soups and traditional plates. The Deleux Bowl is great as are Tom Yum Pho and Ben Pho!

I woke up with a craving for pho. This scratched it, but barely. I had the deluxe pho and spring rolls. The key to great pho is great broth and this was just ok. It was by no means bad, but it was lacking in a certain depth of flavor. Spring rolls were fine. Nothing to write home about but nothing to complain about. It took about 45 minutes for my takeout order to be ready, which I'm not really sure I understand. The restaurant was fairly empty and there isn't really anything that needed to be cooked except for the spring rolls--the pho just had to be assembled. One note: When you order rare beef here they give it to you on the side completely raw. The idea is that the broth cooks it. I had about a ten minute ride home and this worked fine, but it might not have if I lived farther away. Just a warning.

AMAZING mango sauce! And pho is so flavorfull. will definitely come back again. Service was quick and convenient. Scenery was great and calm loved the place!
