    So they didn't exactly open as advertised, so we went around to Yes Yogurt and brought back the drinks to have with our delicious banh mi sandwiches. Oh, the bread was so crunchy and yummy. I got the tofu banh mi and although it took them awhile to prepared the food, (which in my belief it means they prepare to order) it was delicious. I will likely return

    Pretty good Vietnamese place! We both got Pho. It's a small spot. There seemed to be one guy dealing with the whole front of house, - I don't feel like we waited too long though. The inside of the restaurant was pretty nice. Had pictures of vietnam on the wall. The Pho was pretty solid. Solid choice.

    BAD ATTITUDE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. The server refused to acknowledge that she served us the wrong food and insisted that that's what we ordered when she is clearly wrong. We ordered H6 on the menu, Nem Nuiong Lemongrass Grill Pork Sausage. It doesn't specifically say that it's hoagie on the menu, but it's listed under sandwich and it does say Vietnamese hoagie as shown on UberEats for your information (and there's typo on UberEats menu). We wanted to bring this to her attention again when we received the check, instead of apologizing, she tried to rush us out and take our card to pay and sit the next group of customers. We weren't happy with our experience and we wanted to speak with someone who could provide us with a better explanation, and she dismissed us and said we don't have time for this. AVOID THIS PLACE.

    Went here for a late dinner with my wife and daughter. They both ordered Pho, but I felt like a sandwich so I ordered the H6. Grilled Pork Sausage Banh Mi (Hoagie). After they received their Pho, the waitress brought out a bowl of vermicelli with sausage. We called her over and let her know the order was incorrect and I ordered a banh mi sandwich. She said I ordered H6, and that was an H6 and walked away. I accepted it was my mistake with a poorly written menu. At the end of an average meal, my wife who is Chinese looked at the menu again, which is written in Chinese as well and an H6 in Chinese is on bread. We brought this up to the waitress, who started yelling at us to pay our bill and leave. Once we got back to the hotel, I checked Uber Eats and found the attachment. The waitress flat out lied to us when she brought the wrong order. Terrible service, flat out lied to our face and average food.

    Until Little Saigon Cafe opened, I only had one spot in Chinatown for pho. Now I have two! The first time I walked by LSC, I did a double-take. It was almost midnight, yet the place was full. I smelled pho and had to stop in. LSC is run by two brothers (if I remember right). While they have a full menu of Vietnamese options, start with their pho. They turn out a delicious noodle soup, and they don't skimp on the trimmings. Their summer rolls are pretty good, too. There's room for a group inside, and a few high-tops for parties of one or two. It's clean and comfy. At each table, you can order using a QR code. I'm old-fashioned, so I talk to a person when I'm there. ;) Visit whenever you're hungry. They're open for lunch and dinner (and quite late - to midnight!). Just note that (as of this review), they're closed Thursdays.

    Super yummy and friendly service! All the flavors of the pho were wonderful and fresh. Will be coming back! Prices are great as well

    Casual intimate little spot in Chinatown. Service here so great. We were immediately greeted and seated by the owner. Great conversation about activism going on in the Chinatown neighborhood. The pho was 10/10. I will definitely be back here for more pho and a shirt!!

    I would give this place 4 stars, minus a star because it was quite expensive for not a lot of meat. However, I got the P8 (rare eye round steak & brisket) and it was really good! The broth was clean and delicious, and elevated with the addition of the sauces (as well as Sriracha I had at home). I actually ordered this takeout, so it was perfectly packaged and easy to reheat and eat at home. I know there are a ton of pho places near here, but this was a great one!

    Good spot for late nights din! Literally landed in Philly at 10ish and was looking around for open restos and came across this place. Huge portions and the summer rolls were super fresh. The service was wonderful and I believe he's the owner of the place as well. I ordered meatball and tendon and only received 2 beef balls.... I think we can do better than that. I will give this place another try. ALSO, they have the real sriracha sauce on deck, so thats a plus!

    We came here on a whim Saturday night after we saw it had good ratings online. It's small and very unassuming but the decor was interesting and they had a table open for us. Also it's BYOB. The menu had everything we were looking for. We ordered the spring rolls and they were perfectly crispy. The bahn mi sandwich was a little too toasted for my liking but still yummy. The real star was the pho! We ordered P8 the rare eye round steak & brisket and it was so rich and delicious. It was the perfect food after a long day running around in the rain. I was so full but I just couldn't stop drinking the broth at the end. My friend ordered the spring rolls & grilled pork vermicelli which was a huge bowl of food and she greatly enjoyed it as well. The staff was extremely friendly. The owner was funny and happy to put the PSU game on the TV for me and our waitress was so nice.

    Was staying in Chinatown and stopped in here after hitting up bars in midtown one night. I tried the Grilled Sliced Pork Broken Rice and Spring Rolls. The prices are high for what you get, and I've had better Vietnamese food. With that said, I appreciated that they were open until midnight on Saturday to provide late night sustenance.

    Just ok but nothing overly special. Summer rolls were mostly lettuce, the pork banh mi was good but on the smaller side with not a lot of flavor, and the special pho was mostly broth with not a lot of meat and noodles - I would have expected more ingredients considering this is their most expensive pho.

The biggest surprise was the tái (eye-round steak), yet still retaining that pleasantly chewy texture of undercooked beef; the gầu (fat brisket) was thick and crisp, fragrant but not greasy--who would have thought I'd find brisket fat here? This showed the restaurant's precise control over the broth temperature and the thickness of the beef. Almost all phở restaurants claim to offer authentic raw beef or various cuts of beef, but very few can truly make customers feel the difference. The restaurant's decor is simple but spacious and clean; the service is average, but very efficient. Efficiency is essential for phở, otherwise the beef would be overcooked in the hot broth. After all, the essence of a restaurant is food, and for such affordable ones, it's gratifying to see them spend most of their costs on the food itself.

They have great meats. Their hearty Buns will blow your mind: as noted, the House Special is practically enough for two people. You'll also see many people eating the Prime Rib Pho which is quite different. to me it looks a bit unwieldly (much prefer meats cut into the broth). Their Bún Riêu, Duck Soup (served with a unique ginger sauce and bamboo shoots) and Bún bò Huế all hit the mark. Pho Today gives you two choices for the classic Fish In Pottery Pot, bone-off and bone-on. Many Vietnamese restaurants don't carry this anymore. One thing I should tell y'all is that, when you order your meal, ask for the homemade chilli oil.....they won't give it to you unless you ask: it's made with garlic and is really special. If I were to nitpick I'd suggest upping the ante on the spring rolls which are more of a footnote here. I much prefer the larger spring rolls, cut into 4 sections served with basil, veggies and lettuce for wrapping. But, yea, this place does a really good job and seems to be the go-to for both Vietnamese food and serious eaters.

They had good reviews online and rightfully so! When we came in, the only staff was this man and a young child sitting on a chair, who I assumed was his daughter. He would gently ask her to help with small tasks like bringing us menus and water, which she would adorably rush over to our table, place down quickly, and then scurry back to her chair. It honestly made me laugh to myself and smile -- it was such a wholesome moment that really showed the family dynamic. Seeing his daughter nearby while he worked added a lot of warmth to the experience and made the place feel even more genuine and welcoming. I even noticed her school photos on the wall near the cashier table, which really highlighted the family-run vibe. Food was delicious, and it was my the first time seeing banana flower shavings as part of the side toppings at a Viet restaurant so that was unique.

Noodles were bouncy with the right amount of chew, broth was delish. And the meats were tender and well seasoned. This is likely the best mi quang in Philly!
