    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!! A big warm bowl of pho was perfect for a cold winter day. The broth is definitely quite tasty but I will say it is on the saltier side so just be aware for friends who may have a low sodium diet. There was surprisingly a lot of meat and the plates of herbs and bean sprouts they brought out was also more than enough for my friends and I. The food comes very quick after you place your order which is very appreciated. The place fills up quick but also people eat pretty quickly and are leaving soon too so the wait shouldn't be too long.

    ***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

    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!

    I was feeling under the weather when we came here and their soup really hit the spot! Especially on a cold day, it was just the perfect meal to have. The parking is quite chaotic but service is quick and easy. Remember to bring cash as they don't take credit card!

    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!

    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

    Pho 75 is not just a place to get some hot soup on a cold rainy day. It is a beautiful ritual and you can tell by looking at anybody in the restaurant. You enter and are quickly served amazing and reliable pho surrounded by friendly people and calming music. A great spot to chat with friends or enjoy your own company with a moment of peace. Simple, wholesome, and so safe.

    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?

The beef pho was the perfect size and the broth was sooo clean I was in love. A glass of wine topped the meal and I was stuffed. The vibe was so casual with old school hits playing in the back ground and the dim lighting made it a go to spot for a date. They have an upstairs with additional seating that overlooks everything.

The crab fried rice was also fantastic as well as the braised pork belly bao. The quality of service was a little quirky, as if the waiter had hired his friends as waitstaff, but it added to the experience. Our waiter was very fun and friendly. This is a great option, especially for a late night dinner, as it stays open much later on weekdays than most restaurants in Center City. Looking forward to trying more items on the menu!

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. Also my first time having pennywort drink and the more I drank it, the more I liked it. Tasted healthy and refreshing!

There were other menu options but my friend was like you came for the mi quang so you have to try it here. We ordered the mi quang dac biet which comes with a variety of meats, quail eggs and a crispy rice cracker. Portions were large, prices were fair for what you got. Service was quick and just enough. 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! The only ones we have had better were in San Jose. We also tried some of the yogurt and sticky rice desserts, they were tasty and refreshing after a heavy meal. Would highly recommend stopping by for an authentic central vietnam noodle dish! And then you can walk to ca phe roasters for coffee! I've heard the owners are considering retiring soon, so check it out before they do!
