Pho Ha

This place became an alternative option for my family and I when we traveled here on a road trip. We originally wanted Pho Ga Thanh Thanh but unbeknownst to us; they are closed on Wednesdays now. It's hard to find a place that makes chicken pho just as good as Pho Ga Thanh Thanh and this place just proves it. We ordered a whole chicken along with 3 phos. The chicken is very noticeable smaller and it did not come with the chicken eggs and liver. The broth tasted light and kind of tasteless. The ratio of noodle and broth was not good. Too much broth and not enough noodles. The dipping sauce was really good though. I liked the added touch of ginger. Overall, this place was good but not the best in the Philly area for chicken pho. I think I'll stick to Pho Ga Thanh Thanh for that!

Favorite spot to eat piping hot phở in Philly with quick service and brightly lit dining room. (P.S. They've been taking credit card for a few years now, and it's a game changer!)Phở Ha's broth is consistently flavorful, their meat consistently good quality, and they consistently give you plenty of basil, lime wedges, jalapeño slices, and bean sprouts to zhuzh up your bowl (medium and large sizes available: I generally go medium, unless I'm ravenous and we're not getting any appetizers). I also tend to add an order for extra vinegar onions for a minimal fee.The spring rolls are always crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce, the summer rolls and rice noodle bowls are always well received by my gluten-free friends and family.

Still the best pho in Philly. I've been coming here for over 2 decades and it's still as good as ever. A must try stop if you are in South Philly. Get the classic deluxe pho and a grilled pork chop rice platter with the egg quiche.

Goi Gong (summer rolls) are thin and sorry looking. But all the noodle soup bowls are big and delicious. I especially like #55 spicy beef soup.

The noodle soup is really the highlight here. My friend got the no. 57 bun bo hue, and it didn't disappoint. I, on the other hand, went for my usual dish - rice vermicelli and got the house special (no. 6 bun dac biet). Something was off with that dish that I couldn't finish it. Which was disappointing as I was looking forward to some tasty Vietnamese food while on a work trip away from NYC. The service was average, as expected at this type of establishment.

Solid bowl of pho! Quick service, perfect for a rainy day. The medium bowls were huge and the restaurant is generous with the meat portions! I couldn't finish the medium but thankfully my husband finished his and also mine for me ha! They also give a lot of bean sprouts. Great place to go for beef pho:

Great pho overall! I asked for a special request for my Bun Bo Hue and they were kind enough to leave a note on my food explaining that they did my request but could not do this again moving forward. I appreciated their transparency and following up with me rather than them not fulfilling my request at all. The spring rolls were great and the broths were very flavorful. The portions of noodles and meats were also very large. Did not get a picture of the pho tai chin before it was eaten but it had a lot of meat! Everything was packaged very well and I will definitely be ordering again!

Cannot go wrong with their broken rice. Just go and try for yourself. You cannot beat this taste at this price.

We were in the Pa area and decided on on Pho Ha. My friends ordered the usuals and I tried the Bun Bo Hue. I'm glad that I ordered the Bun instead of the usual. The broth was a homerun. It was savory, sour but not too much, lemon grass and little spicy. My friends tried my soup and they love it as well. The meat was tender to the bite and not chewy, not a large portion given but it is fair amount. The Bun Bo Hue by far is the best compared to couple local Pho places in Manhattan. As I'm writing this I still remember there is a hint of shrimp paste in the soup which I love so much.

One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have tried, every time I go to Philly I would always to stop by for a #20 large. Lol I would recommend this to anyone around Philly. #20 is highly recommended by me.
