    Solid choice for Pho. The parking was exceptionally difficult and the lot is tight/packed. This is a cash only spot with an authentic menu. I started with the iced Vietnamese coffee. And ordered a large bowl of soup with sliced beef. The portions and price point were great. It was a warming dish. I do wish the broth had a bit more complexity in comparison to other Pho I have had around the city. Still a great meal.

    ***CASH ONLY***CASH ONLY*** First time at Pho 75 and I came in with high expectations, especially knowing it was one of Bourdain's favorite spots. The broth had great flavor, but my pho came out warm, not hot, which was disappointing. Service had more of a quick get in and get out vibe, and there was a line out the door when we left, so clearly it's a popular spot. Still great pho and worth the hype, just wish it had been hotter.

    Very busy on the weekends, but still very fast service. Cash only! Comes with all the usual add-ins. Cooked-ness of the noodles isn't my favorite and the soup seemed to cool a little too quickly. I prefer Little Saigon Cafe in chinatown more

    This place really does it well! Pho 75 has my favorite broth to date out of any pho place in the city. I haven't been to a ton, but this spot is great. The brisket and eye round steak is good, and they give you a generous portion as well. As always, the sauces and sides to put in your pho are fresh and tasty. Our waiter was with us within 5 minutes, and as soon as we ordered we received our drinks & food in less than 10 minutes. Talk about fast! They were showing the news and the eagles game in there so that was cool, but overall there's a good vibe in there. It's communal style seating which isn't my favorite, but everyone is enjoying their food so it's actually fun

    Of course I have heard about this place for years. It is supposed to be some of the best Pho in the city. My friend and I had just stood out in frigid temperatures to protest ICE so we needed warm, hearty broth and noodles! This place did the job beautifully. We filled up on pho... mine with chicken and my friend with noodles and no meat. I was unaware they didn't serve tofu (my friend is a vegetarian) so keep that in mind. The broth was delicious, the chicken tender and the Vietnamese coffee was so good! This place has a good reputation for a reason. Efficient, kind service and delicious food! Go get you some!

    A very straight forward pho place with only pho on the menu. The service was fast. We sat down, placed an order, and the food was out within 5 minutes. The pho was good and the broth was refreshing. The downside of this place is definitely the parking and that it is cash only (they have an atm machine). Cash makes it so the price isn't as high as its competitors though, so it has its pro and con. The parking though was terrible, and it definitely makes me hesitant on coming back.

    Service was super quick and the vibe of the place feels really authentic. I ordered the #6 pho (eye round steak, well-done flank, and soft tendon) and it hit the spot, super flavorful, generous with the meat, and they hooked it up with plenty of bean sprouts, which I appreciated. Honestly, the bowl was loaded and tasted amazing. I'm from NY and would definitely come back to Philly just for this spot. Highly recommend if you're craving legit pho!

    All pho, all the time. At least until 8 p.m. when they close. If a restaurant makes its mark with a signature dish, it's bound to be good. And Pho 75 is! The broth was rich and flavorful; didn't need to jazz it up with lime or jalapeno. Plenty of brisket, plenty of chicken in our respective soups. Depending on when you show up, parking could be an accident-waiting-to-happen in the tight lot. 2:30 -- past lunch, before dinner -- it was crazy. An hour later, plenty of spots. Pho 75 is one of several Vietnamese restaurants in the strip mall. Order at the table, pay at the counter. To reiterate what others said, cash only.

    There are few words to describe how amazing this Pho was at Pho 75. After Anthony Bourdain raved about this place my friends and I had to go try it. it didn't disappoint. A simple menu, yet the flavor was just perfect. It was also nice how there was lots of seating in the restaurant, and the servers were nice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the (literally) perfect bowl of pho in the Philly area.

    Absolutely amazing!! Holy crap was this good. Solid price as well! $12 for a regular size bowl. Took the B1 train here and it's about a 10 minute walk from the train stop. Safe walk. A bit shady walking form the train but there are other people and a new fancy apartment complex on the walk there. Pho was favor ful. Meat was tasty. Service was fast. 10/10 would recommend. RIP Anthony Bourdain

    Delicious Pho and service is quick! It's our favorite Pho place in Philly. 10/10 recommend. It's cash only, please keep that in mind!

    Day trip in Philly and these place was highly recommended. Fast service, affordable and very tasty. They offer beef or chicken pho in a small or large size. Large space but it could be expanded because it seems to always be busy. Clean dishes and overall wonderful place.

    No frills, cash only restaurant, that delivers quality pho!!! They only have one main entree on the menu - pho! In different sized bowls. The broth is clear, flavorful and spiced just right. Not much of an MSG taste afterwards. There is plenty of meat, noodles and broth in the regular bowl. I like to ask for my bean sprouts blanched and they accommodate every time! Service is quick and simple. Food is served almost immediately. Ambiance is casual and basic. No crazy add ons or services. Parking can be tricky in the lot. Tight spaces and lots of other shops nearby. Tldr Food 4.5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 Will come again! Crave it lots.

    Is this cash only?

    Pho 75 only accepts cash payment.

    When did this restaurant open?

    not 100% sure about this location, but I know that it was here at least 16 years ago. In addition, their other family location in Maryland I can vouch has been open since the 90s at least.

    How are the desserts?

    The desserts are not as outstanding as the pho is. I would suggest walking over to Mr. Wish which is in the same strip mall.

    Do they have beef bone broth?

This place was packed, which is always a good sign, and even with that the staff stayed super prompt and professional. The house special was my favorite. I got it with the knife-cut noodles and it was perfect with the broth. The noodles had that slightly uneven, chewy texture that really holds onto the soup. I never thought I'd be the type to talk about "mouthfeel" but here we are. The broth itself was rich and savory with a deep beef flavor, a little bit of oil on top that adds body without feeling too heavy. It's that classic, comforting Chinese beef noodle soup done really well. I added a braised egg, which had great flavor soaked into it, though it was served cold, which threw me off a bit. The mapo tofu with noodles was also really solid. It had that signature spicy, numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns, balanced with a savory, slightly salty sauce. The tofu was soft and silky, and mixing it with the noodles made it extra satisfying. It's got some heat but not overwhelming, just enough to keep you going back for another bite. The shrimp stir fry was lighter but still flavorful. The shrimp were cooked well, tender with a slight snap, and the sauce leaned more on the savory side with a mild sweetness. It felt like a nice balance alongside the heavier noodle dishes. Couple practical things: it's cash only, but there's an ATM right by the seating area which makes it easy. And the portions are generous for the price, so it feels like a really good deal. Overall, super satisfying spot. Busy, a little chaotic, but the food absolutely delivers. Definitely a go-to if you're craving hand-pulled noodles.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

Glad I didn't opt to dine in as seating looked extremely limited and cramped. Stuck with a simple dandan noodle (this is what they're known for) and while the portion size was large, that's pretty much all it had going on. Sauce was decent but not enough to mask the doughy, overcooked noodles and grease puddles all over The worst part is it definitely upset my tummy and I did not feel good at all the day after. Tasted and felt a lot more like cheap lomein at panda express than an upscale Chinese restaurant

The shop is in a nice area of the revitalized Powelton/Drexel/University City area across from a few new developments with reasonable street parking in the area. Absolutely a go-to if in the area, and may be worth driving a bit to if in the Greater Philly region.

I ordered my usual ramen and two sushi rolls to split with my partner, and ordered through here on yelp through DoorDash. Because of a system issue, my food was ordered twice (after paying it said there was a system error and it couldn't be completed and my cart was still full and after it happened twice I figured something was really wrong.) I had a sense something was weird, and had my partner call ahead to assure there was only ONE order, and otherwise cancel the second immediately, which he did. When I got there there were 2 orders, and the restaurant smilingly said it was already made and wanted to give me both bags. They REFUSED to cancel an order or to talk to DoorDash directly. I insisted on calling DoorDash in the store to make sure I got a refund because I couldn't afford to pay double for my food and risk it (what would be $84 for one bowl of soup and two sushi rolls.) After 45 minutes on the phone, and now cold soup and warm sushi to bring home, I was assured I would get my money back in "a few days." It has now been two months and I have not received a refund. I have been going here for years, and very upset on this lack of oversight on the restaurants part. I think they mostly interact with college students that are passive and they can manipulate. The restaurant said it was my fault because I used the ordering service they provided through yelp like I should have known better not to use it (and again, I've ordered online here many times!) They made my favorite ramen, but the countless hours I have now spent on very expensive cold soup and warm sushi-- I will not return until this is rectified. Other comparable restaurants that make ramen in other areas of the city of the same size will send me a full refund for a drink just for sending me the wrong flavor! it's so loud in the restaurant to even have a conversation or be on the phone to communicate when the issue happened (again college scene and club music.)
