Best steak sandwich in Philly is their lemongrass beef banh mi. It is fantastic! So good.

Have passed by this place a couple of times and figured I'd give it a try on my run today. Food:I ordered their crackling pork banh mi. My favorite part of the banh mi was definitely the bread. It was so light and crispy. Probably the favorite bread for a banh mi in Philly. The pieces of crackling pork were fatty and succulent. I think i just wish the pickled vegetables were a bit more pickled as the crackling pork needed something bright to balance out its saltiness. Service:The service was quick and the owner Danny was very nice. The shop only does takeout. Cash only or venmo. Ambience:The shop is very mom and pop shop. It's quaint and tucked away from the main streets. The food speaks for itself here. Overall: This place deserves another 1/2 star. Its a bit spendy for a banh mi but the portion is relatively value. I would come back to try their pho's

This was my first experience with Pop Up and I was very pleasantly surprised! I ordered the pho through DoorDash since I had some credits to use. The chicken pho was $13 which is pretty standard these days ( even pho 75 on Washington Ave is now $11 for small or $12 for large ) The food came well packaged, and I was happy to see the bowl was compostable ! Although maybe it's not too traditional, I actually loved the tofu, carrots, and other veggies inside the pho. The broth was great, no complaints. The chicken - is also some of the best quality chicken I've had in pho in a very long time. I'll definitely be ordering from this restaurant again in the future and hope to visit in person at some point ! Great first impression

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!

I missed the Bahn mi shop from years ago when it was only $2.50 for a Vietnamese hoagie! Long gone are those days. But this is a fantastic spot and I have tried about 6 of their various sandwich variations. I recommend it all. Their soups are great too. I haven't tried their poke. Decent price and good size and great taste. Favorite local Vietnamese hoagie spot again!'

Ordered delivery and wasn't disappointed. Tried the char siu and crackling bahn mi. Both were great. Preferred the crackling slightly more since the fat added a little more flavor in my opinion. Phò was on point. Can't tell you how many stores skimp on the broth. Flavorful with a touch of fat. Veges were steamed perfectly so adding hot broth warmed dish (but didn't need to cook). Enjoyed the variation of carrots, bok choy, mushroom and cake crouton thingy. New and enjoyable. Variation of beef cuts were enjoyable as well. Bone in short rib was tender and delicious. Packaging was environmentally friendly which I truly appreciate. Could tell immediately that love was not only put into their food but also their business plan. Looking forward to future meals from Pop Up Café.

This place is the best, I'm so happy that they are doing so well in such a competitive area for Vietnamese food. The owner is super friendly and takes the time to make the food fresh and right. I've ordered Pho, Vermicelli, poke salad and Banh Mi and all items are superb. Reasonable prices and many items are large enough to have leftovers, depending on how hungry you are.

This is right across the intersection from my boyfriend's place. It's the best deal in town for Pho. I get the Pho Ga and it's so good, and $10. Most other places are twice that. I do doctor it up a bit with whatever I have in the kitchen but it's excellent.

This is my first review for any restaurant, and it's because I love this place so much! This family-run restaurant was able to make a catering order for our event, and do it fresh day-of. The banh mi and papaya salad from Pop Up Cafe are *delicious*, among the best in town, and the price is affordable. They have so many banh mi options - from vegetarian to pork to chicken. I really recommend them for a bite to eat or a catered event like mine.Lastly, the family that owns and runs this restaurant is warm, sweet, and generous. It's rarer to find nowadays, but this is a restaurant and family that actually cares about sharing quality food with the people who come in

Stopped by today for the two for $15 banh mi special and it did not disappoint!!! I got two lemongrass tofu banh mis and they were delicious and balanced, served on a giant fluffy baguette. Will definitely be making this a usual spot!!!!
