No frills pho joint. Friendly service. Natural light. Open at 11am. (Wish it was earlier, but that's life.) When soup calls, you answer. Whatever pho variant you get, it comes out fast AF, and it's made to spec. They only offer one size of pho. I wish they offered a smaller size, but that's a ME problem. The bowl you get is a good value, with a lot of meat. Don't want pho? Dive into their banh xeo as an entree, it's a healthy serving. Credit accepted. FYI Are you easily triggered by annoying TikTok reels, like me? Bring headphones. There usually isn't music playing, and 75% of the time a guest is on annoying social media. Or a guest talking on their speakerphone (!) like what the hell. read more

This place was pretty standard overall, but still a solid experience. I liked that there was a generous amount of meat given. The broth was clean, rich in umami, and really delicious. I did notice that they don't give a lot of bean sprouts and other add-ins. The platter we were given was quite small, which might be because not everyone uses those extras. It was enough for 1 person but maybe not for 2 (there were 2 of us), but compared to other places that are more generous with sides, that was something I noticed. Overall, it was a fine visit and an enjoyable meal! The atmosphere was quiet which I appreciated even though there were other diners around. read more

Amazing broth! Good amount of shrimp in Pho. The summer rolls were fresh and of course the peanut sauce hit. I had shrimp and my mom had chicken pho. It is a different broth. I've seen same broths whatever you eat and this is not the case here. Rich deep broth. Plenty of veggie garnish. Of course I'd want more hoisin/hot mix (it's extra $$) and I'll know from now on. This was pick up so I can't comment on ambiance. Service was quick, my order was ready and they greeted me immediately ready to seat me if I chose. They level up and give you a Pho spoon not a regular. check pic I will def return. read more

Always walked by as it is located on outskirts of Chinatown. Decided to give it a try. Went in at 5pm on Monday night. We were the only ones eating in but the kitchen was constantly bringing out to go orders with frequent pick ups. Comfortable seats in nice a/c. Ordered bun and broken rice with beef spring rolls. Very delicious. The grilled beefs is tasty with little sweetness mixed in savory flavors. Will definitely come back next time visiting philly. Waitress is very nice and friendly. read more

There is nothing like a bowl of Pho on a blustery winter day. I got the vegetable pho and it said chicken broth which I was fine with, but didn't see any Pho options for those seeking vegetarian only options. It was flavorful and as expected. Also got couple of Ban Mi for takeout and they were good as well. read more

I'm a returning customer and have been here plenty of times, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I ordered the fried shrimp roll but was given a completely different roll with peanut sauce. When I asked if it could be exchanged since it wasn't what I ordered, I was told there were no refunds or exchanges once the order was received. I understand having policies in place, but I don't understand why an incorrect order couldn't simply be corrected. What made it worse was the back-and-forth over something that could have been resolved so easily. I'm spending my money here, and as a returning customer, I expected better customer service. There is also an automatic 20% service charge, which customers should be aware of before ordering. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled left a really bad impression on me, and I ended up leaving without eating. After being a returning customer, I honestly expected more. read more

We were staying near Chinatown and found Pho20. The reviews were good, so we gave it try, and were we glad we did! It was a quiet, unassuming place, with great service, excellent prices, and superb food! We had the beef Pho with lean beef, spring rolls, and Bún Thịt Nướng Chị Tuyên - vermicelli with pork and vegetables, which was the superstar of the dinner. It included fried spring rolls, which were amazing. The pho was excellent, and the spring rolls (not fried) made this a perfect dinner. They brought us ice and two extra glasses for the wine we brought. With good prices, great service, and delicious food, we asked ourselves why this restaurant wasn't more crowded. Maybe we were lucky? read more

I've had a lot of Pho (one of my Fav Dishes) across this country and this one was MID. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It was fine. The broth is very good, I'll give them that! A+ for the broth! The rest.... Meh. The ambiance is non-existent, you could hear pen drop in the place- very sterile and awkward. Oh and Don't ask for Chili Oil- they ain't got it. read more

Pho 20 has delicious pho and vermicelli! I recently discovered their bun bo hue and it's become one of my favorite items they serve. It has sliced beef, pigs feet, and Vietnamese ham. The soup is flavorful and deep, definitely tastes like it's been boiled for hours. It's got a good amount of heat but not unbearably spicy. The noodles are different from pho noodles. They're thicker and round. Don't forget to squeeze in the lime & top with bean sprouts and basil. I would highly recommend this if you're in the area craving for some good BBH or want to switch it up from typical pho. Otherwise, they have great options on the menu too! The restaurant itself is simple and clean. Service was quick! I've also ordered them on food delivery apps and the food always comes well packaged! read more

Hubby and I came here on a Saturday early evening for dinner. They were completely empty, however, I noticed they had many takeout orders. We ordered an almond boba tea, iced Vietnamese tea, fresh rolls, Pho soup with tripe, brisket, and tendon. I ordered the Korean bbq with rice. It was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. This was wonderful! Customer service was very good! read more

This place has got really tasty pho. Their food is authentic and has great flavor. Their portion size for the price is also awesome too! A big bowl of noodles for $12.50 (without tax and tip). I ordered pho tai (I only like to eat lean meats so this is a good option if that's what you're into). It's vermicelli noodles with flank steak slices, scallions, and onion, all in a delicious broth. Pho usually comes with a side of bean sprouts, jalapeños, and limes. When I get my pho, I put the bean sprouts in first to let them cook a bit in the soup and I squeeze a bit of lime but I leave out the jalapeños since I'm not into spicy foods. Some people also add sirracha into the pho too. But basically I let it sit for a minute or two so the meat and bean sprouts cook then I mix it all up and slurp away. The service is also good too. They are attentive and get to you quickly. The food also comes out super fast! Usually when I go, it's never super packed so you'll most likely be seated immediately. The vibes are super casual and quiet inside. Come by for some savory noodle soup or rice platters! read more

The food here is ok and the service is ok but there are a few issues. - We ordered summer rolls but were not given any plates to eat them on, so pieces of lettuce and rice noodles were just falling onto the table as we ate the summer rolls. - I ordered the Pho Dac Biet (Special Pho) which did not come with the plate of lettuce, mint, lime slices, and bean sprouts as I am used to. That was fine as a plate of lettuce came with my boyfriend's meal. The lettuce wasn't washed very well though and there as some dirt on it. - As is often the case as Vietnamese restaurant, my pho came with green onion even though I specifically asked for it with no onion, so I had to pick all the onion out. The waitress even said "Special Pho with no onions" as she set it down. I don't know what to do. Do I have to say, "No green onions" or "No scallions"? - The soup was not very hot, so the slices of rare beef did not get cooked enough. I had to take some hot water from my boyfriend's meal to pour on the sliced rare beef to cook them. By the way, I got only two slices of the rare beef. read more

5 Star service! Short story, I ordered Pho that had egg noodles mistakenly thinking I ordered the soup with rice noodles. I ask the waitress that I thought the kitchen made a mistake. She responded very politely that I ordered the soup with the egg noodles "#H2". H1 has the rice noodles. I said, that I was the one that made the mistake. Two minutes later she brought me a big bowl of rice noodles in broth. read more

Pho 20 - H1 - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

There are a lot of Vietnamese and Pho places to choose from in Philadelphia, and this is one of the best, in my opinion. I really enjoy their roasted pork options, whether is broken rice, vermicelli or banh mi. It tastes almost like pork jerky because of they way they cook and carmelize the pork. It's delicious. The pho is solid as well and my vegetarian friend says the vegetarian soup noodle is delicious. I love that they are open later and their prices are very reasonable for the food you get. This is my go to spot when I'm craving Vietnamese food! read more

I love coming here! We usually climb over at Movement Callowhill and work up a big appetite to nosh at Pho 20. The owners are so sweet and friendly, they know we come in and order shrimp summer rolls (the cold rice paper rolls with lettuce and noodles) along with my FAVE: the BBQ tofu banh mi. There has only been one time I came for the banh mi and it was not available - thank goodness! The food is always consistent, quick, yummy, and made fresh! My little one requests Pho 20 regularly, and while she is not currently employed to help with the tab, she does finish her food with a big smile on her face! It's a cute little place on the corner of Vine and 10th street, as you enter Chinatown from Callowhill. There's plenty of space for a table or booth, so we haven't ever had a wait. read more

Loved everything about this Pho restaurant. Friendly staff, great service! The Pho broth was so beefy and flavorful without being overly greasy. They gave you plenty of meat, tendon, and tripe. Summer rolls were big and the peanut sauce was excellent. The thai iced tea wasn't overly sweet and definitely hit the spot. The food came out pretty fast also. Wish we lived closer so we could go back and try their other items. Tables and utensils were clean and there wasn't much to worry about. Parking can be difficult as this is chinatown. We had to drive around for 15-20 minutes and luckily found parking. 2 hour metered parking. read more

Service was ok. The waiter didn't have the best attitude and the Pho was not great. I've had better Pho at several other places in Philly.

Yesssssssssss! I'm still relatively new to Philly. One of the top things on my agenda was to find a Vietnamese/Pho spot. This place definitely delivers. The food here is delicious. I ordered the porkchop dish thay came with egg and egg patty and it didn't disappoint at all. The meat was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The egg was perfect and the flavors mixed soo well.

Great prices for the quality food you get. I come from Maryland and there is no good authentic Vietnamese food compared to here in Philly. The summer rolls were made just like how my mom makes it and the peanut sauce is on point. I was so surprised to even see the Pho Bo Ko as an item on the menu because in Maryland there are no restaurant that have that option. The service was great and I have no complaints, food came out rather quick and all at the same time. I will be back to try the other items on the menu! read more

I finally came here after hearing about this place for works lordieee The pho was solid, but I was going for something spicier and with more body, so I got the bun bo hue. It was pretty yummy, they gave a lot of meat, but it was barely spicy and could have used a bit more stewing since it was lacking a bit of depth. Still very delicious and not bad for Philly! The real reason to come here though is for the banh mi, they are well-priced, generous, and the caramelized, smoky grilled meat is heavenly. Pass on the cafe sua da though, it's far too sweet, would be better to leave the condensed milk on the side at that point (tbf I take my coffee black, but even in Vietnam I don't remember having so much condensed milk added to my cafe sua da). read more

Stopped by Pho 20 with a huge party to celebrate a graduation and it did not disappoint!!! I tried the shrimp spring rolls, bbq chicken broken rice platter, and rare steak and brisket pho. The shrimp spring rolls and pho were perfect. The broth was divine and the rare steak melted in your mouth. The bbq chicken was good but there was a lot of skin and less meat. The restaurant is family friendly and very homey. The service and hospitality at Pho 20 was beyond generous. The food comes fast and they are patient and courteous with large groups with kids. We had a great time and send our thanks to the Pho 20 employees! read more

Was at Philly station and my train was delayed an hour around 9:30pm. Looked for a place that was closing at 10:30pm or 11pm and close by, Pho 20 popped up, looked at the reviews and made my way over. Took around 7 minutes from the train station. Was seated right away. Staff were friendly. Order the pho with rare steak. Came out super fast and super hot. Steak was a good cut because it was tender. The broth had amazing flavor. Portion was generous. Definitely will go back when I come back to Philly again. read more

I ordered the rare steak pho which is usually good. This time the meat was the darkest shade of brown instead of a fresh pink color. I've seen others complain about Pho 20's quality but I hadn't had a bad personal experience myself until today that I know of... that being said I felt the need to make this review considering I just recovered from a very serious case of food poisoning which occurred shortly after the last time I ordered from pho 20. I had also had sushi before I got sick and had been blaming that meal but now I'm not so sure. I don't think I'll be ordering from pho 20 for sometime. read more

I didn't realize there was a pho place in Chinatown until my friend dragged me here. Place offers a good alternative verses going to Washington Ave. The Bun Bo Hue was very spicy which I really, really like. I did substitute pig feet with brisket as I am not that much of an adventurous eater. Still loved how they brought my order out quickly and were attentive to my substitution. I decided to try Soda Chanh Muoi which is basically salted lemonade soda. It tasted like Gatorade. I would probably get that again. It had a pretty interesting flavor to it. read more
