I ordered a pork chop special rice to go. The steamed pork & egg loaf was hard and obviously it's old. And the pork shredded also tastes old. I can't believe they serve this kind of food. I don't recommend this place. If you want business, serve fresh food!!! Period. read more

First time here last night and I really enjoyed my "special grilled beef broken rice". Price is very reasonable for the portion. Service is friendly and efficient. No frills place with good food. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

I got my order to go but they were so kind and friendly. The good was great! I want to try more but I may order delivery its so far from me

Nice pho spot in the neighborhood. The shrimp rolls with the peanut sauce were so good. The chicken in the pho was a little tough so I'll try another protein next time. Everything was seasoned nicely. The seats are comfortable and it felt like an amazing pho experience. The servers were quick and helpful. read more

The restaurant was cleaned and nicely decorated. Menue had the usual staples of a Vietnamese Pho kitchen. I ordered the Pho #26 and Fresh Spring Rolls with Chicken and Shrimps. The order was served very quickly, and the Pho was nicely presented with fresh Thai Basil, piece of lime, slices of the green pepper, and fresh bean sprouts. I would say the broth was not the most flavourful but it was good. I was missing some herbs, like mint and cilantro for my Pho. It was plenty of noodles but not much of meat in my soup. Overall I enjoyed my Pho. The fresh rolls were good with a lot of chicken and shrimps inside, but the sauce would benefit from more flavors and spices. The price was right for the offerings. I would come back again. read more

Love this place. Everything is fresh and so good. Very clean. Great service. Definitely one of my favorites in the area

This was our first time here. friendly staff, clean environment. The food was awesome

Yes, the Pho is pretty good here, but the star of the show is the bun thit nuong. I order delivery from here quite often and everything always arrives fresh, and we'll packaged. With it being summertime, I was not in the mood for a hot soup this time around and ordered the vermicelli with grilled pork. I was surprised to see smaller grilled pieces rather than a pork chop, but oh my gosh, this is so much better. The pork was so flavorful and so tender. I did take off one star because the amount of sauce provided for the dish was not quite enough to cover the amount of food. Please do not pass on this dish! read more

Their noodles were a little hard. Other than that, their food was I say proficient to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. I have never seen the inside of the restaurant cause I haven't been at it. They're packing of my delivery was well done, but the delivery fee was outrageous. read more

I would NOT recommend the bun bo hue as it tasted like soap, but the pho and banh mi here is so GOOD. Their $10 deal if you pay in cash makes me come here all the time. Come with cash to avoid paying extra fees. This is of my fav spots!! read more

Hole in the wall Vietnamese in predominantly Chinese part of northeast Philly. Pretty famous for their pho, I'm partial to the vermicelli. Very relaxed atmosphere with metal chairs and tables. Typical Philly shop house take away restaurant. Usually not crowded. $15 per dish with tax and tip. We will return. The shrimp with perfectly grilled and the fish sauce was excellent. read more

Where do I start. As my family and I walk in the door. We were greeted by Charlie. Super friendly and polite guy. He immediately got a booster seat for my 2 year old daughter. Than got us water and our appetizers. My wife and I share a Banh Mi Oppla Cha Lua. My auntie got some egg rolls. These were delicious. We the Pho Dac Biet and Bun Thit Nuong Dac Biet for the entrees. I share my pho with my daughter. They were super accommodating, got me some scissor so I can cut up the meats and noddles for my daughter. Finish off with some Viet Iced Coffee. The best spot to get your Vietnamese grub. read more

The broth is good, not the most flavorful I've ever had but it really hits the spot on a cold rainy day or when soothing a hangover. I'm sure it's delicious other times too but that's when I tend to want it most. The takeout is well packed although they don't fill up the broth container fully kind of skimp sometimes. But the ingredients are always fresh and delicious and the crispy spring rolls are a nice addition. I've only ever gotten pho tai and pho tai chin, both were delicious. read more

My mom found a new pho in the Northeast section, so she wants me to try it. It is on the same block where Jade Harbor and Mr. Wish is located. I believe it used to be another viet place but it is now Pho Saigon. My mom order Pho Deluxe. Hubby got the Grilled Shrimp with broken rice. I got a pho with tendon and tripe. Hubby like the Grilled Shrimp but he would like more shrimps lol. Unlike many other pho restaurant, Pho Saigon gives you quite a bit of noodles, which I love. P.S. Don't let the emptiness of the restaurant fool you, the food is very fulfilling and delicious. read more

I got severe food poisoning from the delivery food here, the shredded pork skin in my pork chop dish was rotten. I only ate one bite, and only because it was my first time tasting it, even though it looked wrong, I thought, maybe this is how it's supposed to be, thinking, I should be brave, and try it. No. It was so slimy and sandy in my mouth. leaving sandy bits of itself on my tongue, that I wiped my tongue off with a napkin. I have since seen videos on youtube of broken rice pork chop dish, where the shredded pork looked completely different. I suffered on the toilet for days after that rotten food. At one point, after Pho Saigon had made me sick twice in a row, I remember yelling, on the toilet, in the bathroom for the 20th time, "Never again, Pho Saigon!" read more

I've been to a lot of Pho places in the area and I must say this place I would not recommend. The only reason I chose this place was due to the fact that my go to is close for the evening. What I ordered was the Pho Deluxe, Cha gio, Goi cuon, and Mi Bo Kho. The Pho deluxe which is their version of Pho dac biet aka Pho special which normally have a variety of meats and sometimes meatballs in it. To my surprise when I received it there were barely any different types of meats. I was suppose to received round eye steak, flank, tendon, and tripe but I didn't even receive the tendon and I only received two small pieces of tripe. As most have mentioned in other reviews I don't understand why do they only fill half the container with broth when it's not enough with all the ingredient when place in a bowl. The pho here is mediocre at best and if you are in a jam and need some badly than that would be a judgement call to try. The Cha gio and goi cuon however is not bad and taste pretty decent. Keep in mind I would eat the goi cuon first and quickly because the rice paper wrap was sticking really bad to the the plastic wrap they were using. The cha gio were crispy and tasted decent. Lastly, the Mi bo kho if I could give this a 0 rating I would. This has got to be the worst Mi Bo kho I have ever taste. The broth does not even taste like Bo kho and I know I can make better mi bo kho than they are serving. The broth has a taste like liver and beef tripe you would get from dimsum. The richness you're suppose to get from bo kho is definitely not there. The broth is too watery and I definitely would not recommend and advice to stay away from this particular choice. This was my first time here and probably would be my last time returning. If I was in a jam than maybe I would return for the appetizer. read more

I spent a hot 95 degree day watching my niece & nephew at a track meet and realized that I would never, EVER come back to a track meet UNTIL I found this gem nearby! As we waited my car to cool off from the cruel beaming sun, Yelp came to the rescue and we saw we were a mere 1 mile from scrumptious Vietnamese. Parking in the area, like in most areas in Philly, sucks but is not impossible. The hubby and I walked in to a surprisingly mellow restaurant (the one next door seemed over crowded). I thought this might possibly be a bad sign, but it was too late to turn back now. So we grabbed our menus and decided to order our regulars favorites. I HIGHLY recommend getting started with the BBQ pork spring rolls - OMG SOOO GOOD! I would seriously order just 6 of them and make them my meal if I would've known earlier. They were fresh and bursting with flavor. As for entrees, my hubby ordered grilled porkchops with white rice, which came out amazing. I was the clear winner getting the vermicelli pasta with grilled pork, shrimp and egg roll. The whole thing just makes my mouth watery right now just thinking about it. Then the bill came and we could NOT beleive how cheap everything came out to be! We paid about $25 for everything including tip! All I can say is that I"m glad this place is a few miles from my apt, because I would seriously live here otherwise. I will definitely be returning! read more

Okay so first off this was our first time getting takeout from this place. So we ordered beef ball pho, bun bo hue, summer rolls and some ice coffee. I don't understand why every time I order takeout they like to give you a half container of soup? Like why not just fill it up like your supposed too? I mean if we were to sit and eat they always fill the bowl up right? I'm not sure what the difference is for them to do that. Anyways, the flavor of the soup was not bad but lacked in portions they give you. The summer rolls were good and most of all I liked the ice coffee. I think that was the best part. I'm not sure if I'll come back here for pho though. Need give us a full container of soup please!! read more

Pho Saigon - 30. Bun Bo Hue Not enough soup. - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Only rating this place for the Bun Bo Hue. I've had it to go and dine-in. I think it tastes amazing from here, even better than places in Philly specializing in BBH. It definitely fulfills my BBH craving. If you're not looking to drive all the way to South Philly, I highly recommend coming here. I've been to the Pho Saigon Ha on Adams Ave to have BBH once only to be told they didn't have any BBH that day. That was so disappointing for me because I specifically took my niece out to eat there since she wanted Bun Bo Hue. Come here, they didn't let me down. I can't comment on the pho because I never ordered it here. read more

Aside from the hair in my daughter's seafood soup after packaging the leftovers to go and having to seek the waitress out for service any time we needed anything, the drinks were fun.

They should offer a chance to try durian fresh on the menu. read more

I order from here a few times and it has been great. But the order I receive today was packaged horribly. It seem like they was out of their normal container bc my rice platter was packed in separate container that didn't hold well. So all the juices was in the bottom of the bag. Everything was oily and greasy. I was alil disappointed. I also asked for extra hot sauce for my pho and I got a little container that was barely filled. The food is always good but today they fell short. read more

Located along Bustleton Avenue, mixed in between Halal and Pizza restaurants, Pho Saigon is a taste of awesomeness. Normally I would need to go to Chinatown or possibly around 6th and Washington in South Philadelphia for a bowl of wonderful Pho. The service is on point as they are swift to greet & seat you in the smallish restaurant. The menu contains other delicious looking Vietnamese dishes that read great, but I have stuck with the soup. If you know what you are stepping into, this is a great joint to pop into. Free Parking is a available but a wee touchy. It can be found if you look around & are patient. Worth making a local go to spot. read more

Came back to see if things have gotten any better from our past visit. I'm sorry to say that it hasn't. We ordered the shrimp (Chao Tom) on a sugar cane as an appetizer. That was surprisingly good. I ordered the beef short rib over rice dish. The price at first, seemed really attractive. When it came out there was literally 1 strip of short rib cut into 3 pieces!!!!! I was shocked never in my life have I ever received 1 strip. The price of this dish wasn't attractive at all given the fact that there was only 3 cut pieces (1 inch) given. Whoa.....moving on and never coming back. read more

My boyfriend & I just left this restaurant. They ran out of soda but the food was really good so it didn't bother me. We were enjoying our food until this older white man was talking about his ex-wives to another customer. He was saying that he had a Korean wife that no longer wants to live with the dogs that they had & he goes on to say, "honey the dogs are appetizers to you but they are pets to me." I was disgusted & it ruined my whole mood. So I hurried up & paid just so I didn't have to hear any more of his crap. It seems like he is a regular at this establishment. My only thing is; please make sure that your customers are comfortable in your restaurant. read more

Pho Saigon - 44. Pho Ga My - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Ordering here has been a comedy of errors. The food is so damn good(for the most part) that I can overlook the following; 1st time I pointed to what I wanted to go.When he gave me the total; price seemed high. He rang up one wrong item. OK he fixed it; gave him a $20, and he gave me change for a $10. About 10 minutes later my order was handed to me, but was missing one item(which was sitting in separate bag on counter) 2nd visit I called my order in. Asked for Bahn Mi #13 & Pho # 39. We went back and forth like 3 times, repeating the same thing. Get there and once again the bill seemed high. Gave me a #30(which is not even a bahn mi) and Pho #39. They were really nice and apologetic both times.Now onto the food; Summer Rolls w/ Shrimp & Chicken- fresh mix of noodles, lettuce, herbs & meat. Wrapper was nice consistency and stuffed! Bland overall; even w/ peanut dipping sauce. Needed some fish sauce or tamari; which I added. Bahm Mi w/ BBQ Chicken- one of the best I've had.First thing I noticed was it had some weight to it. Nice12" toasted baguette filled with delicious moist chicken, and the usual mayo, pickled veg, cilantro, jalapeno.Very tasty, not dry at all. In fact I think I finally get the Bahn Mi. The veg- mayo combo is almost slaw-like. On this one anyhow. A winner! Pho w/ steak, flank, fat brisket- broth was really flavorful. Rims of fat lined the container. Meats were good; could have used more. You can only order large for take-out. It was so good that I ate the whole thing. Recommended, but make sure to check your order!Unless, of course you speak Vietnamese. I know I'll be back. read more

Finally the pho scene has arrived to the northeast. Yes, There are other pho places around the area but it's still a drive to get there so to have one so close to this major street is nothing but welcomed. The pho is great. The prices are even better. This place is definitely cheaper than your usual place but there is no skimping out on the ingredients here. This will be a staple pho place for sure. FYI, the owners are the same owners of a pho place down in south philly. I can't recall what the name is right now but you know it's good if this establishment has a shop down in south philly. read more

FINALLY. It's about time they have a Vietnamese restaurant on Bustleton!!! Now I won't have to travel far for some hometown's food :) I'm usually not like this when it comes to other ethnic food, but I'm very, very picky when it comes to Viet food. Having the luxury of growing up with a super Vietnamese cook for a Mom, I have tasted almost all the traditional Vietnamese dishes out there. Therefore I have very high standards for Vietnamese restaurants. Well, I'm glad to say that Pho Tuong Lai didn't let me down on the flavor aspect. Today was my first time eating here. I went in with a friend and we order Pho Tai, Chin (#36) & Com Ga Hai Nam (#63). He got the pho and I got the broken rice. Pho came out first and it smelled pretty legit. The soup base is very aromatic, light and not too fatty. Pho flavors are there, but not as strong as I would have like it to be. However, compared to other places, it's already scored a passing grade in my book. So, good job Pho Tuong Lai!! Portion for the pho was also reasonable when compared to the price. I haven't see $6.50 for a bowl of pho in such a looonnng time. Ok, now my broken rice platter came out. ....... I wasn't happy with what I saw. For the price of $6.95, I was hoping to see more than just 4 pieces of chicken, 2 half slices of tomatoes, 1 slice of cucumber, lot of lettuces, pickled carrots/daikon, 1 bowl of chicken broth flavored rice. It was more like 3.5 small pieces of chicken!! Majority of it was bones!! It wasn't enough to satisfy my hunger. I was no where full when I left. Definitely not happy with my order and I felt like it wasn't worth almost $7 for that plate. So if you eat here, pho will be the best choice. As for the chicken broken rice, stay away if you want to eat your money's worth. Overall, decent clean looking place. Employees didn't interact much with the customers, but at least they remember to smile. 4/5 for Pho 2.5/5 for the Com Ga Hai Nam Would have given a 3.5/5 for this first experience, but since I can't do a 3.5 here, it'll be a 3/5 for an overall experience. I'll come back here for the banh mi and coffee next time so look forward to that review :) read more

Pho Saigon - #63 Com Ga Hai Nam. Nothing special. Chicken portion was very little.... - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

See all

Pho Saigon in the 6800 block of Bustleton Avenue in the Great Northeast of Philadelphia is a very good pho and com house that can save those of us who live farther from Center City than this location many miles of travel down to Washington Avenue, South Philly. Parking is just about as bad in this developing Chinese/Vietnamese neighborhood, but you are more likely to find a spot on the street with a little patience. We took a table along the wall and appreciated the prompt service provided by staff. Ordering pho tai nam (beef noodle soup with rare steak and flank), vermicelli with BBQ pork and summer rolls, we had more than we could finish for just slightly north of $20. The pho had a nice broth base with plenty of thin sliced steak and flank. Plenty of good slurping, but on the way home I began to feel a little off, like there could have been some MSG in the pot to hasten the reduction process. I am mildly allergic to that, and began to feel lightheaded shortly after departing. That is my deal, and many do not have that reaction. Still, the bowl was loaded with noodles. The small bowl was enough, even though the larger vessel was only a buck more. The pork dish was excellent, however, with the meat a deep dark amber from its time marinating in the BBQ sauce. It was chewy in a good way as it slowly released its smoky sweet flavor with mastication. Again, plenty of dry noodles in the bowl, along with shredded carrot and ground peanuts. A little fish sauce splashed over the top, and we were in business. The summer rolls were nothing special, but were certainly fresh, with a good peanut dipping sauce. I would return to Pho Saigon, but inquire about the MSG situation before ordering. This neighborhood has potential. read more
