If going in groups of 3+, venture from the typical Pho and splurge on the family dinners. Totally worth it and tasty as well!
Good veg options! If you want vegetarian pho specify that you want veggie broth, which is not on their regular menu. Good portions, my favorite is their Lemongrass tofu with rice vermicelli #253(?)
Philly.comAugust 3, 2014This large, pleasantly appointed space serves some very good renditions of traditional Vietnamese cuisine to the crowds that flock to Washington Avenue's growing Asian shopping zone. Read more
Kaesid StuckeyJuly 31, 2015By far, the best Pho restaurant in Philly! Service is fast, professional, and friendly. Highly recommended. I eat here at LEAST once every two weeks.
Leanne AlyssaFebruary 27, 2015#253 lemongrass tofu and vermicelli is amazing. So are the vegetarian summer rolls with peanut sauce!
Cheap and tasty - a go to spot. It's usually pretty busy during peak hours, but moves quickly. $7 cocktails will knock you on your @rse.
Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 31, 2012A huge menu that coveres just about every Vietnamese specialty you can imagine, from pho and broken rice to soft shell crabs in black bean sauce, fish stew and country-style beef cubes. Read more
kathymonApril 25, 20112 orders of family style for four - you can try one of each dish: summer roll/spring roll, sour fish soup/sour shrimp soup, lotus salad/papaya salad. The cubed beef is sooo good!
Roger NewhallJune 10, 2012We really enjoyed Nam Phuong. The food was fresh, served hot, in plentiful portions by very pleasant and competent wait staff. Highly recommend.
Seth CallenJanuary 22, 2012Advisory some dishes come with the herb "diep-CA" called "fish mint" in English which smells very strongly of, well, fish and may not be appealing to American palate
- Pho is great and all but get the Bun Bo Hue soup... Amazing. PS- If you're not feel adventurous, tell them to hold the pork hocks.
- Seth CallenJanuary 22, 2012Grilled pork summer rolls and the stuffed grape leaves (wrap them yourself) and an iced coffee with milk = nom noms
- Try the 4 person or 6 person family style meal! Well worth it for 50 or 70 respectively.
Caitlin VogelSeptember 9, 2013Super fast . Love the Vietnamese crepe and pork vermicelli wraps. Oh and the iced coffee!!
Teri DownsMarch 8, 2014Always busy, but never overcrowded & worth it. Parking is a bit of a challenge, though.
Cora AngJune 22, 2011Watch what the local vietnamese eat and get away from the pho and bun (as tasty as they are)!
Pork claypot & bo luc lac! Add an egg to any rice dish, mmm
- J LNovember 19, 2009Authentic affordable Vietnamese food in South Philly. You can get a variety of dishes from bun (vermicelli noodles) to fish clay pots.
Visit PhillySeptember 14, 2010If you want to really impress your server, ask for mam nem, a pungent and delectable sauce not offered on the menu.
Their Bun Dac biet is alright. Just too much chicken... Bun is better with chargrilled pork or beef
Tried the Thai food item in the menu, nooo! Let's go back to the Viet noodles

"Cheap noodles, fresh produce, prepared meats, weird Asian snacks and cans of Cafe du Monde...what more do you need?"

"The RPX screen ticket may be pricey but it's worth the plush seating and screen/sound experience. Helps avoid some of the grungier parts of this theater."
