    Grilled pork banh mi
    Nataly N.

    A new take-out spot just opened yesterday where Thai Singha House used to be! (Not sure what had happened to those guys that made them close so suddenly.) The set up is the same: there is a bit of standing room and some stools at the window, but not much space to sit, so most people order food at the counter and take it to go. The wait isn't too long. I stopped by after work to grab a quick bite - a grilled pork banh mi - and it took 5-10 mins for them to make it. It took a bit longer than some other Vietnamese sandwich spots I've been to, but they seemed to have quite a few orders ahead of mine, even though no one else was in line. The sandwich itself was ok - not bad, but not the best I've had. The flavors were not very pronounced, the amount of filling was a bit thin, and the bread kind of overpowering. (It was hoagie bread, and not the usual crispy baguette.) The grilled pork was lukewarm, which leads me to think that they made it earlier in the day and reheated it, but it wasn't a big deal as I prefer this over the cold cuts. The price point was okay given the neighborhood, but I did feel hungry and had to eat some snacks afterwards. I believe this is the first Vietnamese spot in Rittenhouse. The price point and lack of competition will probably work in their favor in this neighborhood, but they might have to improve certain things to retain customers. Their service to me wasn't very warm and that stands out in a neighborhood where service is a priority for vendors. They just got started, so I'm willing to return to try other items as they get settled in.

    Chicken Bun

    I had the chicken bun (vermicelli) for takeout and I was impressed that the chicken was so flavorful and a little juicy. It is slightly more expensive that other Vietnamese places nearby.

    It was okay. Although, the food was flavorful. The boba tea was not! I ordered the taro boba with my shrimp rice dish, and the Boba didn't have much flavor. I think they forgot to put the sweet syrup because it had a watered down taste. Not enough seats, so it's pretty much a takeout, and delivery place.

    Brisket pho for takeout. Broth was hot and food was delicious. Will be coming back!
    David Z.

    Went here 30 minutes before closing and got the brisket pho takeout, which took 5 minutes. The broth came in its own container while the noodles, beef, and seasoning were in the bowl. The order also comes with bean sprouts, jalapeno slices, basil leaves, and a few slices of lime. The order also comes with chopsticks, plastic utensils, hot sauce. It took me 10 minutes to walk home but the broth was still steaming hot, which is a good sign. The stuff in the bowl and the raw veggies looked relatively fresh, although the meat is cooked (although I wouldn't expect raw meat from a takeout place). The portions are decent, and this is coming from a guy who eats a lot (1 chipotle burrito isn't enough). They give you a lot of noodles and an okay amount of meat. The broth was quite flavorful. Overall for a small takeout place like this the food exceeded expectations, and I will definitely be coming back for more pho. Update: Went back here and the GF got food poisoning from takeout pho. It took her 3 days to recover and there was no other food she ate that day besides the pho.

    Good packaging for takeout!

    So glad this place opened up to satisfy all my Pho cravings. Prior to Vietnam Express opening up the only options were over a mile from Center City and required an Uber or Caviar (food delivery) services. As I alluded to, this place is perfect for satisfying your boba (bubble tea), Pho, Banh mi, etc cravings, but didn't going to blow your mind in any way. Space: The place is set up more for take out. They have a row of 3 bar stool chairs, but can get tight if many people were visiting during that time. Food: The food is decent. The pho soup lacks the complexity in flavors of really good pho, but is definitely good bang for your buck. The portion is good - lots of noodles, and a decent amount of meat. the Sprouts that came prepackaged didn't seem to be very fresh - they had probably been sitting for awhile. Packaging: This is important if you are doing takeout. Their packaging of the food is A+. Rather than coming in small containers that require you to use a separate bowl at home, they package the noodles in a bowl that is actually big enough to be used while eating the pho. This is my new go to for Pho, especially on a cold day.

    I love soup, especially Pho. I walked by this place a few times and it's only a few blocks from my office so when a co-worker suggested we check it out I was down. The place is tiny and although it has a tiny counter imagine eating here would feel very congested during the lunch rush hour. I was nervous about the $10 minimum for credit cards because I so rarely carry cash but my order came to $10.17 with tax and I was not given an issue using my card. The negative reviews here are really throwing me off. I got the round eye steak Pho and found the portion to be more than enough.. I'm talking enough for 2 full meals (I swear I'm a hungry person). Everything tasted great and was packaged nicely. The broth was still steaming by the time I got back to my office. Overall I'm excited to have a Pho place so close to my office and home and will def. be back.

    FYI: there's a $10 credit card minimum!! We tried this place out after walking past it a bunch of times and since we live right around the corner, we figured why not. WHAT WE GOT: Grilled pork banh mi and beef brisket pho PROS: Well I have to say, despite the size of their store front, this place delivers huge flavors with fun personality. The place is catered towards delivery and pick up, but there are a few bar stools for you to dine in if you want. Since they're mostly about take out though, their packaging system is pretty bomb. The pho is given to you with its components separated. So you get a big thing of broth, the noodles, the sauce, and the other condiments individually packed so you combine everything at home. And the noodles themselves tasted bomb. Nice chewy texture coupled with a rich warm broth. Ugh yes. The banh mi was also amazing, with nicely sized slices of the grilled pork. The pickled veggies (absolute favorite) cut through the heaviness a bit and their spread on the inside of the roll tasted great combined with everything else. CONS: Not much to say. Satisfies my Vietnamese food craving, cheap, and fast to get. Nothing bad about it.

    Bomb ass Banh Mi! Best I've had in a long time

    Good Vietnamese food! I get delivery from here often and really enjoy the beef brisket pho and the summer rolls. Delicious peanut sauce.

Their 100 percent sugar tastes more like 75 percent, which I actually liked since I usually go for 50. The boba had a nice chew and was not overly sweet either. The banh mi was really solid. Crispy toasted bread on the outside, soft inside, with a good balance of savory meat, pickled veggies, and fresh herbs. Bright, tangy, and satisfying without feeling heavy.
