If you're in the mood for good Vietnamese food, you need to give this place a try. Service was friendly and fast. The special pho was tasty just like mom's cooking. The portion was huge. The special broken rice dish had enough amount of everything. This was the most tasty rice dish I've had in a long time. Highly recommend! read more

I was feeling not so great one night and just wanted a really soothing and comforting broth and something with noodles for additional substance. my partner and I settled on pho, and felt we would try a new place; we ordered from Pho 20, because the one thing that caught my attention was that you could order a bowl of pho with egg noodles instead of the typical vermicelli noodles. Don't get me wrong, I do like vermicelli rice noodles, but if I ever have the option, I'll always pick egg noodle; just a personal preference. They were still nice and thin though so they went well with the pho. He got a beef pho (I believe he got the pho tai gan?) and I ordered the mi tom thit, which was chicken broth with shrimp, pork, fried onions, and scallions. The meat could have been a tiny bit more tender but overall the flavor was good. The winner was truly the broth. The broth of both of our soups was so delicious and nurturing. It wasn't too salty at all which was great, and felt really soothing and really hit the spot. Perfect for a winter day of just feeling a little under the weather. We also ordered an appetizer of summer rolls (not fried) and it was also super delicious. They have the fried version (spring rolls) if you're feeling that too. We would definitely order from this place again, the soups were packaged well and delivery was quick. Just as an FYI, all of the hot sauces, chilis, bean sprouts, etc are on the side so you can add whatever amount you want to your soup just like how it would be in a restaurant. read more

Pho 20 - House special vermicelli - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Had lunchtime Pho, broken rice/chicken, and banh mi here this weekend. The pho came in a bowl with a separate container of broth. This ended up being just enough to fill me up and have leftovers. It comes with the bean sprouts, jalapeños, and sauces on the side just as you get in a restaurant. Also ordered summer rolls, which came with a light peanut sauce, filled with pork and shrimp. Very refreshing! The banh mi was perfect, and when I dipped it in my broth, it was absolutely heaven. One of the tastier banh mis I've had in a minute. As for the chicken broken rice platter, it was a grilled chicken thigh over rice and veggies with a refreshing sauce. I thought this was the weakest part of the meal, with not much meat justifying the price, but it was still tasty and fresh. Seems like a good deal if you want something that is for sure quality food and has delivery, read more

Pho 20 - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Like many others, I have walked by this place many times without the inclination if venturing in. No reason, really. Well, there is a reason, actually. You see, it's Chinatown and there are so many options to satisfy my Asian tooth and if you ask me, too many options with more popping up by the day. The face of Chinatown is changing as more and more trendy places with trendy prices serving trendy food so I'm thankful that on this dreary and cold early winter day when I'm feeling under the weather, I can stumble into this trusty lil spot and have the comfort of a hot bowl of soup soothing pho. I ordered the staple pho tai and spring rolls. Neither one disappointed. The pho was delicate but flavorful, not too sweet and retained a nice beefy brothiness. It's just what the Dr. Ordered. I received my order in less than 5 minutes from ordering. The noodles had a nice texture as well. I only mention this because some of my fave pho places in the city have been dropping the ball lately with overcooked, fall apart noodles. read more

What a tasty little spot! Portions are HUGE! We got pho, banh mi, summer rolls and beef carpaccio! All was absolutely delicious.

This has become my second favorite spot for banh mi sandwiches. The selection isn't big at all. It's only 4 banh mi sandwiches on the men, but they do have my favorite, BBQ chicken and then there's tons of other foods. I only stopped in real quick as I was driving pass and I'm glad I did. The inside looks nice and its a pretty nice size. I ordered and waited under 8 minutes for a fresh hot sandwich. It's not as long as the ones that I get from the other place and the price reflects that a little. Still worth it!!! If you enjoy Vietnamese food give them a try because it smelled really good in there! I can see myself trying a few things on the menu when I have more time on my hands. I'll be back! read more

Good size and tasty sandwich. Very reasonable prices. Clean restaurant and friendly service

We chose this spot as it was the first to pop up on google maps. And let us say... it was a great choice!!!!! The food was phenomenal. Quick and nice service. Very clean. We ordered: Honey-glazed chicken wings (A10), Pho Tai (P14), Pho Tai, Nam, Gau (P7), and a coconut smoothie. The smoothie was a perfect way to end our meal, very refreshing. Although the wings were sticking to our teeth because of the honey, it wasn't a big deal. Still loved everything we ordered. Would definitely come back and bring friends too. Thank you Pho 20!! read more

My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. I ordered take-out here probably like 4 times and got com tam thit nuong, pho dac biet and bun bo hue. All 3 dishes packed with flavor. Com tam thit nuong (broken rice platter) brought back so many childhood memories. I haven't had a good com tam in a long time. Meat was marinated to perfection. Rice was the perfect texture. Pho is good, but nothing compared to my dad so I don't have much to say in this section. But it is good enough to satisfy my craving for pho. Their bun bo hue is unique. I'm from the west coast so I rarely have "ruoc" in my BBH which is my favorite. Ruoc is fermented condiment so it may be very stinky to some people. The only flaw is that the BBH is on the sweeter side. read more

Saw that this place offered banh xeo (vietnamese crepe) and knew I had to try. While I was at it, I decided to also order their shrimp and pork summer roll, pork sausage summer roll, and their banh mi. When I brought my food home, I immediately opened everything to inspect. I noticed they messed up my banh mi order (I asked for the cold cut banh mi but they gave me grilled pork). It was a bummer but I wasn't going to let it ruin my meal. First I tried a bite of each summer roll. Summer rolls were really good, especially the shrimp and pork one. Next up was the banh mi. It was average and the weakest dish of the night. It needed more pickled daikon and carrots to add a fresh crunch to it. Now for the banh xeo. It was one of the best banh xeo I have ever had. It was a bit on the oily side but it was pan fried so perfectly. Each bite was slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Shrimp and pork filling was perfect too. Will definitely be coming back for that dish. Next time, I will also be trying out their phos. read more

COVID19: No dine-in. Takeout available. Temps aren't taken. Hand sanitizers weren't available. After being unfazed by the pho, I stumbled upon this place once again when I had nowhere to go due to COVID-19 and Philly's new 9p curfew. The pho is not that bad. I just never craved it enough to go back. The banh mi on the other hand, wow. The Banh Mi Thit Nuong (BBQ Pork) was slathered in sauce. Personally, I loved it so much I can't wait to go back and get another one. I also love how the banh mi was reasonably priced ($5.50). They only have three selections of banh mi, and I hope they expand their menu soon. It's not the most romantic nor the trendiest spot, but it is an ideal location to have a casual, relaxing conversation inside the restaurant. Staff is always courteous whenever I visit this place. read more

Pho 20 - Banh Mi Thit Nuong - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Good Vietnamese classics in a casual environment at very reasonable prices. This place is located at the edge of Chinatown and is open late into the night on weekends, so it's perfect for a very affordable dinner, a post-drinking craving, and everything in between. Their menu isn't huge but has all of the basics: beef and chicken pho, of course, rice and meat plates, vermicelli noodle bowls, spring rolls and other appetizers. Between stopping in with my girlfriend or my friends over the last year, we've tried most of their options and have been pleased with them all. The pho and rice may not be groundbreakingly amazing, but they are well prepared, tasty, and pleasing to people familiar with or new to Vietnamese food. There is one standout dish: the grilled chicken and rice platter. They give a big portion of boneless, perfectly juicy grilled chicken full of flavor from their savory sweet marinade. I get it every time I come, and sometimes even stop by when I'm in Chinatown just to order it for takeout! Pho 20 is a reliable staple to have around whenever I'm in the mood for tasty, no fuss Vietnamese food. Being open as late as bars doesn't hurt either! read more

The flavor is still my favorite in center city. This was my go to spot but unfortunately I think portion sizes has gotten smaller. For the soup mine was only half a pint and my sandwich looks much smaller. Not sure if it's due to inflation but it's sad. Everything is delicious as I remember. For take out I don't recommend. I also noticed dining in option is open again so I will definitely try again in person. read more

Ordered the pho on Uber eats. It was actually very good. Lots of meat. I got brisket and flank on my pho, no rare meat because I don't trust eating the raw meat in a to go container since I was staying in a hotel room. It came with a good amount of meat, although one of the meats was a little too fatty because it had a line of hard fat through it that was inedible, so I had to pick around that. The most important thing is the broth and I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually really good, nice flavor while still being pretty light. I'm impressed that I found good pho in Philly. I've had a lot of good pho so I'm hard to impress and definitely didn't expect to find decent pho in Philly, I was just hungry and they were open late, but it ended up being a very satisfying meal and I would go back if I'm ever in the area and in need of a nice warm bowl of pho. read more

Yum! This was amazing and I've been craving it again ever since! We ordered on seamless with a $1.99 delivery fee but worth every dime! For delivery, there is some assembly but this wisely is to ensure that all parts are tasty when you eat! The broth is in a soup container separate from the noodles and meat which are in a bowl and third ingredient is the clear baggie of fresh basil and bean sprouts. Pho tai biet, rare steak and well done brisket, was tasty! I definitely preferred the brisket to the rare steak which is ironic because I ordered this soup so I could have the steak too! Maybe because the broth was super hot, but the rare steak was rare and chewy. Pho dac biet with added siracha, chili paste, and comment "very spicy please" - amazing and very spicy just like we like it! We ate everything but skipped the chunk of fat Goi cuon shrimp was traditional and good appetizer The only small downside was the soup arrived warm not hot but we loved it anyway. Would order again! read more

Pho 20 is located on the corner in Chinatown. It's a quiet, regular Vietnamese restaurant. We got the Bun Dac Biet and the Banh Xeo. Both were delicious. The banh xeo was crispy, and I remember specifically the pork belly was more of a thick rectangular cut, something that I wasn't used to. Not that it is a bad thing. 4/5 read more

I was unimpressed this time at Pho 20. The ban mi is supposed to have pate but didn't and the barbecue pork option just didn't do it for me too saucy. The real disappointment of the night was the bone in chicken pho. I normally get the deluxe with the tripe and beef etc but I decided to mix things up and get the chicken, a big mistake. The pho lacked love and flavor just tasted like plain water, rice noodles and some garnishes. I had to add a ton of sriracha just to make it palatable. The chicken doesn't even look like chicken it taste okay but not the best quality. It just lacked any kind of substance. with so many options in Philadelphia I don't think I'll be coming back to Pho 20 anytime soon. read more

Too bad I couldn't eat here due to COVID, because the food was AMAZING!! I got the vermicelli with spring rolls and bbq pork and my bf got the pho. My bf loved the pho, I only tried the soup base, which was soooo rich. If it was fresh it would've been even better. Lemme tell you about the vermicelli. It's literally the best I've ever had, and I've been to so many pho restaurants that I can't even count how many. The noodles were exceptional, the perfect thickness and not too greasy. The spring rolls were very light and crispy, with lots of filling. The bbq pork was seasoned and cooked exceptionally. Most of the time I can't finish the whole serving, but I CLEANED the plate literally devoured it. Definitely recommend!! read more

The best spot for some dishes I love like cha gio, com tam suon nuong (broken rice with pork chop) & com tam suon bo nuong (bbq beef short ribs over broken rice) the pho is good as well, but nothing in particular that makes it stand out from the many places I've been too. read more

Really delicious Pho for Chinatown. Generally speaking I would tend to go to Washington ave for Vietnamese food, or northeast philly. But this was surprising delicious broth and fresh toppings, exactly the taste that my friend and I were craving. Only take out and delivery for now, which is best for covid safety anyways. They separate all the ingredients so nothing gets soggy and you can combine however you like it, as it should be! read more

Food was excellent. Service attentive. Me and my daughter had a great time. No nonsense simple restaurant with great food. Highly recommend. read more

This is my favorite place to order in pho from! I've never actually eaten at the restaurant, but I've ordered delivery here many times and can comment on that. The food is always delivered quickly and is still hot when it arrives. My favorite pho here is the pho tai (beef pho with rare steak). I prefer to ask for my steak on the side so that it isn't well done by the time I get it, and the broth is still hot enough for me to add the steak when it gets delivered. They also provide the lime, basil, jalapeños, sauces, and plenty of sprouts. The broth is delicious, but it is pretty salty as are most pho broths in the US. The steak is always very good and there's lots of rice noodles. I've also had the summer rolls from here which have also been tasty. Love pho 20 and I will continue to order my pho from here! read more

Pho 20 - Pho tai (delivery) - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Here's the disclaimer: I ordered the banh xeo for take out/delivery. The banh xeo was good. Since it was delivery, it was not as crunchy if I had ate it fresh but it surprised me by the texture and aroma. From fried outside layers and bean sprouts, it added so many levels of texture, which complimented the take out experience. I would recommend dining in next time since I ordered out but overall it was good. All the ingredients added a great experience aromatically and taste wise too. It was a little over $10 each so if you are sharing it as an appetizer, it's good but isn't alot if you're expecting to fill up on it. Check it out peeps. read more

This pho place is pretty authentic Viet cuisine. Their menu is exclusively viet food. I ordered the Combo beef pho, the bbq pork with broken rice, summer rolls and spring rolls with two thai teas. The boba is mediocre. I've had better, but then again this is not their speciality. The pho is pretty good and the broken rice platter is probably one of the best i've ever had. This place is one of the only places in chinatown open past 10pm, but they are still only doing takeout/delivery even though city lifted covid restrictions two weeks ago. read more

Ordered the pho tai and was immediately blown away by the broth. Super savory and just a hint of sweetness. Really just the way I love it. Very fresh bean sprouts and fixings too. The beef wasn't very rare by the time I got it and the noodles seemed just a bit overdone but still a super tasty, cheap, and fast meal that left my belly happy and complete. Also great service. Very attentive and friendly! read more

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

I've eaten here in person and ordered delivery numerous times before the quarantine. My bf and I usually get pho tai and/or bun thit nuong. Personally, I prefer the bun as the grilled pork is so tasty and the dish is light and fresh. When we order the pho, we first boil the broth in a pot and then toss in the rest of the ingredients for less than a minute. It's the best. We ordered in again through GrubHub this week and once again, ingredients were fresh. They also tossed in a pack of pocky sticks, which was a nice touch. Happy to support local businesses, especially our faves, during this time. Thanks Pho 20! read more

Update: I do love Pho. I tried their vegetarian Pho and it was REALLY good. Pho is exactly what I need on a cold day or if I am not feeling so well. I also really like their spring rolls. They are kind of similar to egg rolls except they are steamed and not fried. They have noodles, vegetables, and your choice of chicken, shrimp, and some other proteins inside. It seems pretty healthy. Again, the service is super fast because they have the broth ready to go and just put the stuff that you want into it. The vegetable soup takes a little longer I think because they have to cook it. Whenever I order it they always ask me if I would prefer vegetable or chicken broth. I'm happy to have the chicken broth but I appreciate the consideration in the case I was a vegetarian. I just really like the vegetables. Pho 20 is open until 4AM some nights. It is great for a light night snack after a night out or for the morning after. I think they open around 11. I have never been there in a situation where it is too crowded or service is slow, and I go there a lot! read more

First off.... they spelled pho wrong on their sign and the shirt they have on display is definitely wrong. How can you spell the main dish of your restaurant wrong? At least it's spelled right in the menu. I understand this is a Chinese owned pho restaurant but that doesn't mean you shouldn't spell the Vietnamese dish correctly. It was shocking, I didn't even noticed till on my way out of the restaurant. Venue was bigger than expected, semi clean, the bathrooms were disgusting. But this is typical Asian restaurant, they are never known for their cleanliness. Service was friendly and quick. Our food came out within 5 mins of ordering. They constantly checked up on us, but then again we were only 1 of 4 customers at the time. But still service is again not an Asian restaurant's priority, usually. Food. Pho was okay, it was average. The broth was a sweeter broth, clear, and had depth. Not enough meat to noodle ratio, and what meat you did get were torn to pieces and not well cut. Noodles were cooked perfectly. Again meats were lacking and could've been more or at least larger or thicker. Also ordered the spring rolls. Which reminds me of how crazy wrong their menu translations were. They translated Vietnamese egg rolls as spring rolls. And then translated Vietnamese spring rolls as summer rolls. This sort of translation doesn't even coincide with the typical American understanding. As I can tell, when Americans tried to translate spring rolls (usually anything wrapped in rice paper is simply spring roll) they made it more complicated by calling things winter rolls and summer rolls depending on what vegetables and herbs were in season. That sort of terming was not the case here. It was just complete wrong translation just as they spelled pho wrong on their big light up sign outside. Parking is very limited. Either uber, walk, or public transit it. If not expect to spend at least 10 mins waiting for a spot to open up. Overall, an okay pho spot. It's unfortunately located on the outskirts of Chinatown so not the most convenient. Will not be back, once was enough for me. Happy eating! read more

Surprisingly good for take out. I've ordered from here multiple times during the pandemic and it keeps up a high level of quality. The pho broth is always nice and flavorful. I would recommend throwing it in a pot on the stove once you get home. The noodles are always pretty good and they add all the fixins you'd normally get in store. Basil, lime, bean sprouts, hoison and sriracha sauce. If you aren't eating relatively quick, i would suggest against ordering egg rolls cause they'll just sit and get soft. These are best eaten fresh and crispy. read more
