cupkeyk: I ordered #1: Slices of Eye-Round SteakWell-done flank, fat brisket, soft tendon and beef tripe. Delicious, hot soup. Add some fish sauce, hoisin and shiracha then it'll taste amazing. Drip coffee.
Philadelphia Magazine: Anthony Bourdain ate some pho for breakfast at Pho 75 to cure the hangover from his first night in Philadelphia while filming for The Layover.
Serious Eats: Sparse, efficient pho restaurant that defies the "fast, cheap or good, pick two" ethos. Excellent pho, but don't look for much else.

Vivian Nguyen: Banh mi, a Vietnamese hoagie. You can't go wrong with charbroiled pork (thit nuong). I usually grab an egg roll, banh bao (meat stuffed bun), and a Vietnamese iced coffee for the road.
Amanda H: Their banh mi is the best!
Monica Landrito: Their banh mi's are to die for!

Tracy: They give you a ton of food! The bowl is huge!
Eugene Moore: The noodle soups
Lisa Rodriguez: The pho is very tasty, and the portions are very large- they really do not skimp on the meat! Spring roles were not the greatest. Service was slow, and waiters were not particularly friendly.

Eater: Philly has one of the best Vietnamese food scenes in the East Coast, if not the very best. Become a believer. [Eater 38 Member]
Sophie: My go-to for banh cuon. Very tasty - don't forget the iced Vietnamese coffee, but don't let them give it to you in a to-go cup!
