This apparently is the go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Wilmington, and I'm glad the…read morelocals are right! It's also BYOB, so if you're of legal drinking age, you can bring your own beer. This restaurant is located in the Fairfax Shopping Center right between Walgreens and Crab du Jour on Concord Pike, and there is plenty of free parking in the lot. When you walk in, you immediately know the place is authentic by the aroma of incense and the mini altars with daily offerings to Ông Địan and Thần Tài. The space itself is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating. The friendly staff attended to our needs right away, brought us water and menus, and took our orders. I ordered the Bún Đặc Biệt (house special vermicelli topped with a mix of grilled pork, shrimp, fresh herbs, and sliced chả giò), a bánh mì thịt heo nướng (grilled pork), a bánh mì thịt bò nướng (grilled beef), and a bánh mì chả lụa (pork meat loaf). My nephew ordered the Phở Tái Nạm Gầu (thinly sliced raw eye-round steak, well-done flank, and fatty brisket), while my wife ordered the Bún Chả Giò. The pho was amazing--authentic, savory, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The bun dishes were delicious and cool, hitting our appetites perfectly on a 90°+ day. What really makes the difference with vermicelli is having a great nước mắm sauce, and this place does it perfectly. And the bánh mì sandwiches--wow! Having great bread is the foundation, and this place absolutely hits the mark. The combination of the thinly sliced marinated meats topped with a crisp, tangy julienned mix of daikon and carrots, long cucumber sticks for a fresh crunch, bright cilantro, and fresh jalapeños for a spicy kick makes all the difference. It's what elevates it from an OK sandwich to a truly great one. We're definitely hitting this spot again whenever we're in town. Tip: When ordering sandwiches to go, let them know if you plan to eat them the same day or the next day and they'll separate the veggies for you so the baguette doesn't get soggy!

Pork was done to perfection and the roll and fresh/pickled veggies were crunchy and fresh and light and so yummy.

We really liked how the inside was decorated, and if we hadn't just come from brunch we would've wanted to try some of their snacks/pastries. The staff were polite and our drinks came out quickly. We'll definitely be back when in the area.

I was craving for Vietnamese (and no where near South Philly) so we decided to stop by at Hanoi's Pho. I remember going here long time ago when it was a different Vietnamese restaurant. Upon entering I realized that the lighting was a bit dim, and tables and chairs looked outdated. There were enough customers so we decided to stay. The service was pretty good, just two younger men manning the front. My daughter ordered pho and she said it was pretty good; I ordered house vermicelli, and it was just okay (I had it better elsewhere); and my husband ordered some type of a clay pot pork belly and shrimp dish. He said it was a bit salty and wished they had added some vegetables. Overall, it was just an okay experience.

I ordered 2 chicken pho and was told it would be about a 20 minute wait; the cost was a tad more than I expected (about 30 USD)... I sat in the waiting area for maybe10 minutes before my order was ready. The soup was good. The flavor of the broth is delicate but the hoisin and sriracha amp it up, as well as the accoutrements (bean sprouts, jalapeño slices and mint). I have only had pho from one other restaurant (several years ago) but can't compare the recipes. However, I definitely recommend trying Pho Street.
