    Pork banh mi
    Nary K.

    This place has a very cool ambiance. I stopped in after work to grab my favorite Vietnamese food - banh khot (mini crepes filled with shrimp, scallions and coconut milk). The dish comes with lettuce, mint and pickled carrots and daikons. These are so delicious!!! I also ordered their iced coffee. It was a perfect balance of sweet and bitter. It was on the pricey end but the flavors were worth it. I don't think I can afford this consistently but definitely a place to check out if you're in the Rittenhouse Square area.

    Spicy beef stew at Banh.

    I am a big Ramen fan, and so when I heard that Vietnamese food can be similar, I tried Banh right in my Neighbourhood. Needless to say, the pho at Banh was similarly delicious and packed with flavor. The restaurant is stylistically simple and clean and the service was fantastic!. I'll be sure to make this a regular food haunt going forward and I can't wait to try more of their extensive menu!

    4.5 for me - coming from jersey, this place is definitely better than some of the Vietnamese places I frequent. I got the bun bo hue (beef spicy noodle soup)- it was very delicious and the portion was fairly large! I also got the summer roll too, which tasted pretty standard. The food came out fairly quickly and the server was nice. It had a simple, bright and modern vibe to it. Seems like this would be a good place to go for lunch too if I was in this area.

    Bun thịt nướng

    Decent Vietnamese food in Philly city center. I really like the taste of their congee, I think it is because of the ginger. However, I don't really like the dồi. Bún thịt nướng is okay and portion is huge. This bánh bèo is probably the best I have had, but homemade is still better. It took them forever to bring this out tho and no communication about how long this would take was mads.

    cute neighborhood vietnamese spot in rittenhouse square/center city west! this little restaurant is a gem near me, the food here is consistent and delicious. my go-to item is the vermicelli rice bowl, it hits every time. the pork is so flavorful and the bowl is generously sized, i had leftovers to take home. the summer rolls were also on the larger end, neatly stuffed with shrimp on one side and pork on the other. my friend had the grilled pork banh which was also filled generously with meat. service was my main complaint. while the staff were friendly, they didn't pay much attention to the tables. our waters were empty for most of our meal, as were the waters of the table next to us. i learned that banh has happy hour 230-430 M-Th which seem to be quite affordable. i haven't been to their happy hour, but will have to check it out sometime. good experience overall!

    Banh Khot

    The bánh items are good, especially the bánh xèo. The service is fine, and the restaurant seats small groups comfortably. The beef pho is pretty good too, and offers healthy portions of beef compared to other places.

    Tofu Vegetarian Pho

    Banh Philly is a fantastic newer spot on Chestnut, serving up super authentic Vietnamese food. I stumbled in on a snowy day, looking for some warmth from a bowl of pho, and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely delicious, and the servers were incredibly attentive. If you go, don't skip the peanut sauce with the summer rolls--you won't regret it. We tried the curry and pho, both vegetarian with tofu, and they were so flavorful and comforting--truly warmed my soul. Plus, the portions were very generous, so you're definitely getting great value for your meal. We also tried the Beauty dessert, which was... interesting! Probably a one-time order for me, haha, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. The cheesecake was delicious though!! The interior is very cute, making it a great spot for a first date or a casual lunch or dinner with a friend or two. I can't wait to go back!

    This restaurant just opened and it's pretty good. Apparently it replaced another ramen restaurant and there were renovations inside. I got only two things, the crab spring roll and the banh mi. The spring roll was really good. It was very crispy on the outside and "juicy" on the inside. There were definitely good flavors and it was served with lettuce and pickled vegetables. And it also came with some kind of mint. The Banh "Pork Hoagie". I though it was funny they had to name it that, since most people know what a banh mi is. The banh mi had a couple of ingredients: Jalapeño, Pork, Cilantro, Cucumber, and pickled vegetables. The pork was pretty good. I enjoyed it, and it had a good flavor. I liked all of the vegetables too. It was a simple sandwich. One thing though, is I think the large piece of jalepano cut lengthwise was a bit too thick and spicy. I had to take it out because one bite would overpower the rest of it. The bread was OK. I felt like it was a bit too chewy or something. So the bread-food ratio was too much bread, even though the portions were good, and price was good. I might be back to try the Pho. It's not a pho place though, generally, as there is only 1 option for Pho. Service was good and fast.

    Pork banh mi. Took a bite! Delicious!

    Small place on Chestnut. Got a pork banh mi (no jalapeño or cucumber) to go. Absolutely delicious! Perfect French roll, pork flavorful and tender. Service was quick and friendly.

    New Vietnamese spot that replaced the ramen spot. Decor and service are nice. Food itself isn't great, and price is standard Rittenhouse ($$).

    Veg 2 Piece Spring Roll
    Shifa A.

    Incredible new addition to Rittenhouse. One may not expect authentic Asian food outside of Chinatown but Banh is amazing. The space is open, clean and welcoming, menu is huge and carries some great Vietnamese classics as well as Vietnamese street food. We tried a lot of food and the chicken Banh Mi was excellent, the chicken wings, veg spring roll and Banh Khot which were both delicious. We tried the grilled chicken with broken rice and let me tell you the grill chicken is flavored to perfection. Service was awesome and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients. It's a cool lunch spot but and even better spot to bring all your friends and family. Also cherry on top-They are BYOB!

    Salt & pepper wings
    Ryan Y.

    Pretty good. Torn on whether I would go back or not, though. Had the rice vermicelli with pork and the appetizer salt and pepper chicken wings. There was an ample amount of pork in the vermicelli but I probably would have liked more of the pickled chopped veggies with it. The wings were very good and I probably preferred them out of the two.

    The other half of my deliciously chewy summer roll :;

    I've already been here 4 times since discovering it last month . Really really really good food and the owners are sweet as hell . The food is a little more "cleaned up" than your gritty Washington ave establishment, but in the best way possible . And can still get a little more authentic if you're more advanced with a little prodding of the server ("do you have blood cubes ?" The answer is yes but they don't have them on the menu ) Their bun Bo hue, pho , tofu banh mi are amongst the best I've had . Brisket still has just the right amount of a touch of fat to it , which I love . The rice paper on the summer rolls is unparalleled and extra firm and chewy . Please help this place make it !! They also own a nail salon on 15th and JFK Which I'm keen to try as well . They took this over from a friend I understand and have improved things . The owners mom , I'm told , cooks all the food in the kitchen . Plus it's spotless , clean , beautiful and friendly , something you won't find in most Vietnamese joints on wash ave or in Chinatown and the cuts of meat are higher quality.

It's casual but you won't be out of place if you dress up. For food, we started with the crispy calamari that came with a citrus frisee salad and was already sauced up. It was a unique style that I enjoyed and much lighter than other calamari dishes I've had. The petite plateau was perfect for sharing among the 4 of us. Everything was fresh and delicious while being presented so beautifully. The cocktails I had were good. They were different from ones I typically order which I thought was fun to experiment with new flavors to see what I like. One had a pickle garnish and the other was with a non-smoky mezcal. For entrees, most of us got pasta which were all handmade and tasty. My favorite was the one with crab & vodka sauce. The cacio e Pepe & mushroom ones were also good. What stood out the most during the meal was dessert. We got the double chocolate mousse and that was one of the best chocolate mousses I've ever had! It was so gorgeous and topped with a sunflower seed praline & had tangy passionfruit sauce at the bottom which made for a flavor explosion. I was so impressed! The key lime panna cotta was also a work of art topped with candied sourdough that provided a nice crunch to the creamy texture of this dish. It was so yummy! I can't wait to go back again!

I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right!

The rye was toasted with butter, giving it a thin, crispy crust and a soft interior--a bit softer than Hershel's East Side Deli's, fragrant but not greasy. Every part was delicious, and the combination was harmonious and delightful. The portion of ingredients was very generous, definitely worth the $14.50 price. The service was a little slow, but the moment you tasted it, you would forgive everything!
