Can't speak to dining in, but our delivery order seriously impressed us. The portions were generous for the price, and the quality and flavor were even better. Everything was fresh, abundant, and absolutely delicious. The banh mi was loaded with pork and crisp vegetables, packed with flavor on a perfectly fresh roll. The short ribs were equally impressive...meaty, tender, and not the all-bone disappointment you sometimes get elsewhere (and for less money, too). Rich, deep flavor that had us wishing we'd ordered more. We're already looking forward to trying the summer rolls and pho next time! read more

My friends and I (with our kids) came here late Saturday afternoon. This place was packed which is always a good sign! They were able to accommodate our party of 6. I love how there were many options to choose from for vegan and vegetarians (for my friends). The menu had pho, broken rice platters, vermicelli bowls, Bahn mi sandwiches and a selection of drinks. I went with the BBQ sliced pork vermicelli bowl and a Vietnamese Ice coffee. My friends got a variety of vermicelli bowls, combination pho and curry chicken platter. The Viet coffee was perfection! Great coffee flavor and the perfect kick to the afternoon. The food took about 10-15 mins to come out. My BBQ pork was so flavorful and tender. It came with a fish sauce to dress up the mix of vermicelli noodles and veggies. I gave a portion to my daughter and she loved it too! (toddler friendly). The staff was very attentive with filling up our water glasses and getting whatever we need. The staff loved our kids and gave them freebies (my daughter got two free pieces of bbq shrimp! a flower, paper to draw on and a candy bar haha). I felt the staff really made us feel like home :) Great experience with good food! I would def. come back and maybe try other menu items next time. read more

Came to Hello Vietnam for dinner on a Wednesday evening and was immediately greeted by friendly, welcoming staff. Dining solo, I still felt comfortable and well taken care of from the start. I ordered the Bún Riêu, and it honestly held its own against some of the best versions I've had in Orange County, CA. The portion size was generous, and you can tell the kitchen puts real care into their dishes. The soup featured two large seafood meatballs that were packed with flavor--I actually found myself pacing them out just to make them last the entire bowl. Sitting between a couple of groups catching up, the atmosphere felt like a true local spot--casual, lively, and authentic. Overall, a great place for quality Vietnamese food that clearly puts thought into both flavor and experience. read more

Tasty Vietnamese food with great vegetarian options! My friend and I stopped by on a Friday night for dinner. There was no wait to be seated. Service wasn't super attentive, but all of the servers and the owner were very friendly! I ordered the Tofu Banh Mi. The tofu was coasted in a savory sauce which was delicious! The fresh, pickled vegetables added a nice crunch! Can't wait to try more menu options! read more

Great service! Pho was delicious and the restaurant was very clean. Wordcount wordcount

Found an obvious piece of meat in the vegetarian pho. Very unfortunate, since they have clearly labeled vegetarian items, and the tofu banh mi has been excellent. But this raises serious concerns about labeling and cross contamination, as well as trust concerns. read more

Hello Vietnam is a wonderful spot to grab Vietnamese in Philadelphia. They have all of your favorite Vietnamese dishes from pho, rice bowls, and vermicelli noodles. A small cozy spot with wonderful service. In fact we met the owner and he was really helpful and very knowledgeable about the food and culture Vietnam. The food was delicious the vermicelli notably very flavorful and served in a very generous bowl. Can't recommend this place enough for Vietnamese and incredible service. read more

Pho at its best. Just the right amount of spices and fatty broth. The aromatics fills your nostrils with the warmth and vibrant of a small village in Vietnam. Everything was expertly prepared and the presentation was second to none. I will visit this friendly staff for more brilliant Pho in the future. read more

The first time we came here, there were no physical menus. We had to scan a code with our phones to see the menu. I don't like places that do that, so I probably would not have come again. We did come again though and I am glad we did. They have actual physical menus now. They had banh cuon on the menu. Banh cuon is a dish I used to eat as a kid but had not had for many years because it is usually served with pork and I no longer eat pork. I was happy to be able to order the banh cuon with shrimp. Everything looked great and the shrimp was crispy and not burnt. Also, the server (I think he's also the chef) was very cool and friendly. I would definitely come here again. read more

Yummy!! Food is fresh and service is kind. This spot is still pretty contactless (QR code menu, order placed online even when seated, though you can have some server support) so that was slightly odd, but it made it an easy spot to catch up with a friend over some light bites. We came midafternoon on a Saturday and found it to be quiet, though there were some online orders being picked up. Their shrimp summer rolls are great, and I've also enjoyed their tofu broken rice in tomato sauce. Prices were decent, especially for their NoLibs location. read more

I was craving pho and so glad I found this place!! I ordered the combo beef pho with an iced Vietnamese coffee (not pictured) and my friend ordered the bbq sliced pork vermicelli. Both dishes were just absolutely delicious! I'm a big fan of soup noodles (especially pho) and I always like to try the broth before adding anything to it. I have to say, this broth was truly mouth watering. I tried some of the vermicelli and that was equally as flavorful. My boyfriend tried my broth and was also amazed at how delicious it was. The owner (I'm assuming he was the owner) was so friendly and attentive and the restaurant itself had such a nice ambiance. Place isn't super big but honestly, that's perfect. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! For everything we ordered plus 22% tip, it was $47. read more

I'm happy to update my review and say that I've tried other things on their menu - still haven't gone back to tempt fate with the chicken pho and don't think I ever will. I have tried their veggie pho - which you can choose veggie or chicken broth. I went with the veggie broth which was light, but flavorful enough with all of the veggies. My biggest gripe is probably how horribly the veggies are cut - a lot of them are stuck together like the broccoli for example, weren't fully cut so they were huge and all connected. But aesthetics aside, it's a solid noodle soup and hit the spot for me. I tried their tofu banh mi last night $10 and the tofu is marinated really well, good bread, and nice crisp fresh veggies - would absolutely recommend and reorder that one too. I've yet to eat in, and have only done take out so far - but I'm glad to have tried this establishment again in this neighborhood. read more

friendly staff, love how they shredded the vegetables, generous portions of peanuts and beef in my vermicelli bowl. i gave 3 stars bc they did not separate the sauce from the bowl in my take out order. the vermicelli was in a take out box that doesnt seal completely. the sauce was everywhere. i wont be returning for take out. read more

This is a cute spot to grab some Vietnamese food while hanging out in Northern Liberties. The staff and owner were very friendly and welcoming, making space for us to pop in for a snack and some boba. We had the shrimp summer rolls, which came with a delicious hoisin-type sauce versus the typical peanut sauce (which we don't usually prefer) and their fish sauce was good as well. My kiddo crushed her taro smoothie with boba and has asked to come back soon! read more

I came here with my family after I first moved to Philly. I wanted to try pho with a twist, so I tried the beef stew version they had here. I recommend trying it for anyone else who loves beef stew and pho. It really does taste like a mix of the two! The tomato-based broth and tender chunks of meat and carrots are hearty alternative to the standard soup. It has rice noodles and the same toppings as regular pho, so you don't quite forget it's supposed to be a pho dish. My mom and aunt had the BBQ pork chops, which they seemed to enjoy. I would definitely come back with friends, and maybe try one of the specialty drinks next time. They were out of many of the options on the menu when we visited. read more

Ordered Door dash from this place and was very happy with my decision. They had a coupon for $3 off $20 purchase which worked great for me. I ordered 2 vegan tofu banh mi's and an order of tofu summer rolls. The food was delivered pretty quickly and I don't think it was too expensive. The banh mi was still warm when it arrived and the summer rolls were still cool (like they're supposed to be!). The hoagie roll for the banh mi was really nice. No hard edges, perfectly soft. The veggies were fresh and crunchy. The tofu was a great texture and the sauce had a little spice but not much. I really enjoyed the sandwich and it was only $10 on door dash which I think is reasonable. I thought the summer rolls tasted very fresh. The dipping sauce it came with was sweet but also savory, perfect pairing. I even put some dipping sauce on my sandwich. I'll definitely be ordering from here again and would love to check out the actual restaurant. read more

Hello Vietnam - Tofu banh mi and one of the summer rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia , Pennsylvania

Ok I'm wavering on how to rate this place. On first blush the menu looked good enough, but like the vegan dishes were going to require substractions rather than fully composed entrees. We ordered the tofu banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) and the Fried Vegan Spring Roll Vermicelli. The tofu banh mi was fantastic, maybe the best I ever had? I was prepared to be disappointed, because often times they make it vegan by pulling out the mayo and then the sandwich is not moist enough. However, the tofu was cooked in a delicious savory sauce that gave it lots of flavor and compensated for the mayo. Also it was the first time I had banh mi on a soft baguette, which was brilliant. It made the whole sandwich easier to eat, and pleasant at that. The pickled veggies were delicious, while the jalapenos packed a punch without being overpowering. Then we got to the "Fried Vegan Spring Roll Vermicelli". I would have thought with "vegan" in the name the dish would be well adapted. It was not. It was essentially plain rice noodles with fried spring rolls on top, and a small medley of cabbage mix veggies. The spring rolls were not good--I dont know how they made a fried food unappetizing but it was probably the only time I have left a restaurant with leftover spring rolls in my life (albeit, they were oddly more enjoyable as leftovers). And the soy sauce that the waiter provided in lieu of the traditional sauce (which likely had products made from fishes) was inadequate to carry the flavor of the ensemble. I would give a hard pass to this dish. The restaurant was empty on a frigid night, but it seemed like there were many takeout orders as we dined. I liked the ambiance of the cozy inside. The wait staff was a bit green, but they served us earnestly and at the end of the day that's all I care about. Four stars: the banh mi single handedly carries this review. I'd love to see the restaurant expand their menu with vegan condiments like mayo, more veggie-heavy dishes, and even plant-based meats. Ultimately, I will definitely be back for that banh mi. WOW. read more

This is a cute spot right in Northern Liberties. I'll come here from time to time when I want a very good Vietnamese iced coffee. I haven't tried any other drinks but I will one day. But I'm someone who always order the same thing because it's safe I also like their shrimp summer rolls. Give them a try if you are in the area. Reason for a 4 star is because the summer roll didn't have cucumbers and their sauce was a little watery, but this is preference. read more

Love the banh mi here. Especially the cold cut! And the thai tea with boba. I can order two a day, how do they make this so perfect.

Restaurant week in northern liberties, the only safe time to be that close to Kensington. We got reservations but restaurant was empty, picked up while we were there. We did the fried wontons and spring rolls, both crispy and very good. For entree we went with filet mignon pho and seafood pho. I'm not sure why I went with seafood, I don't really care for seafood or fish in general, I just know every pho with chicken I've ever had has been gross. Either way they were both good, almost great. I think flavorful is the word that would describe what was missing from both. I say that honestly, I mean most pho is not good unless they know what they are doing. But this pho was good, had adequate salt, but just lacking that extra oomph, maybe they missed the basil I don't know I'm not Vietnamese or a foodie (2022). Restaurant week had crème brûlée cheesecake and tiramisu on the menu, we got one of each. OMG! Wiped that crème brûlée clean, down to every last strawberry bite. 1) If I'm in Philadelphia and 2) have a hankering for pho and 3) the sun is still out I will go back here. The service was as good as you'd want in a restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Popped in quick for a bite to eat & picked a great day to dine outside! I was seeking a lunch spot and had actually picked something across the street but they were renovating, so I had the surprising delight of dining at Hello Vietnam, a small Vietnamese Bistro that has a delightful menu! The gorgeous weather called for outdoor dining, soaking up the sun while enjoying a little banh mi & apps. Service was fast. I was able to place my order through their QR Code website/app and it allows you to either pay as you finish the order or keep it open if you wanted to add more items later. For an appetizer, I had their Shrimp Summer Rolls, which came with a peanut hoisin sauce for dipping and I gotta say, the combination of the fresh shrimp and the sweet and savory sauce was a match made in heaven. Shortly thereafter came the Chicken Banh Mi sandwich. Again, I used that peanut hoisin sauce on it and it was absolutely wonderful. The flavors were so bold and rich, and the crispy bread was excellent. They used a bigger slice of cucumber in it as opposed to slicing it julienne, which was fine but definitely was on that fine line of being too much cucumber flavor for me personally, as I typically don't like cucumbers outside of banh mi and soups. To cap off my meal, I couldn't resist trying their Vietnamese iced coffee. It was so flavorful and sweet, with a thicker texture, almost like a coffee made with frozen caramel cubes in it instead of ice. Chilled just right, plus it kept me going on my way back to Jersey. If you're in the area and looking for some scrumptious Vietnamese cooking, I positively recommend giving Hello Vietnam a try. read more

Ordered take here a few times and you can't go wrong. Perfect spot for some pho on a cold day or if your feeling under the weather. If I'm not ordering pho, usually pick between a pork vermicelli bowl or pork Manh mi hoagie. Honestly all of their grilled manh mi are great. They also offer vegetarian/vegan dishes too! I'll make sure to take photos next time-since I'm obviously tempted to eating it right away. read more

Hello Vietnam is Pho-nominal. Do I need to review after that...guess so...or Pho. Okay, I'm done. This joint is on point during the pandemic. Has plenty of dine outside options as they added new tables, but their takeout is just as good. Ordered on a Friday evening and it took 30 minutes. Very kind gentleman over the Pho-ne and quick in person. What we snagged: -Summer Rolls (SO fresh and tightly wrapped) -Soy Salomon Vermicelli Bowl (Dope, but salmon could have been less dry) -Shrimp Vermicelli Bowl (Amazing sauce) Overall, this joint is top notch. HUGE portions too. We have a meal for the next day. Bowls come with a spring roll that was VERY light and fresh. Highly recommend for a light summer meal. 110% will be back to dine in in September 8 in Philly or dine out during a cool summer evening. read more

Got to try 4 different banh mi from this spot, so I think I got a good idea of what Hello Vietnam has to offer! The bread on the sandwiches was a bit tough and pretty dry. There wasn't much sauce on each one. The veggies on top were in long strips, making it a bit hard to take bites of without it falling apart, The beef was very good quality and the flavor wasn't standard lemongrass, which I liked a lot. The chicken was the crowd favorite, but pork sausage had a really good texture and taste to it. The tofu on wasn't really crispy, and it mostly just tasted like tofu, instead of imparting a specific flavor profile onto the sandwich. Compared to other banh mi spots, I think the price for the portion here isn't worth it for your go-to spot- but once in a while, for convenience in NoLibs, could be worth a try! In general, the menu prices here are a bit high, which has kept me from ordering in the past, but I now know that they do serve quality, authentic ingredients, just on the pricier side. read more

Let me just start by saying that the food is good. It's decent Vietnamese food in an alright spot that I enjoy ordering from. And maybe I'd enjoy it a lot more if they didn't mess up my order each time. I've ordered from here a total of three times. They've gotten my order wrong two out of the three. Once was a mistake. Twice seems like an issue with management, especially when it's the same exact mistake each time. If I didn't live as close as I do, this would be a massive issue, because money would be down the drain. Maybe make your online ordering a little clearer for the kitchen to understand, because when certain items keep being done incorrectly, then it's time to make a change. read more

Read the great reviews and wanted to quickly stop by to grab a banh mi to go. When you first enter, you're welcomed by a dining area to your right and a separate dining area to your left. It looked very clean and the decor was quite simple but nice - very home-like. I wish I had a picture of the BBQ beef banh mi I ordered, but had to take it to go and eat it quickly. Let me tell you, this was the tastiest banh mi I have tried in philly so far. They add this somewhat spicy spread to it and it just adds extra flavor to the whole thing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, didn't leave a single crumb. For people who do not tolerate spice well, make sure you ask for no jalapeño and the spread they put on! Quick and friendly service, highly recommend! Would definitely return here when I'm in NoLibs again and will try their other items! read more
