Been coming here with my wife for over 10 years now. My first introduction to Bun Bo Hue (Hue style beef noodle soup) and, even having been to Hue, in Vietnam itself…this is still one of THE best bowls of Bun Bo Hue I have ever had. It is flavorful, spicy, full of herbs and meat and spices. The Vietnamese style coffee (Cafe Sua) is great too, an amazing morning option in my opinion.
I don’t believe they serve much else, but considering how good the Bun Bo Hue here is, they don’t need too. The place is small, there are only a few tables, so my advice is to get here early, you will be thankful you did!

Tiny spot that specializes in Bun Bo Hue and Banh cuon. Forget all the vietnamese spots in philly and come straight here first. The warm hospitality and smiles paired with an amazing broth and rice noodles will not disappoint. Remember to tone down the spice to mild for broth and bring cash.

8AM Monday and you’re hungry in Philly the options are limited and breakfast food isn’t laborious or expensive but a good soup is laborious and that is how I ended up here. More authentic than anything the in the Wing Phat Plaza. The menu is small, the place is smaller. Thank you for a wonderful and nourishing meal and cheers to your continued success!

Hands down one of the best Vietnamese spot to have Bun Bo Hue. We ordered a Banh Cuon, Hu Tieu Tom Thit and it was amazing. The portion was great comparing with the price. Parking was a little tricky but there’s a free parking lot one block away. Will definitely be back for more!

A great local specialty Bún bò Huế place. The broth taste different than in other pho places in a good way. If you order the large special, it comes with a slice of a pork knuckle with the bones. The soup is spicy by default for a lot of people, and they will ask if you want it spicier for those who love spicy food. There’s no dedicated parking place, though you can probably find an empty spot nearby. Seating is limited but most people stop by for a quick in-and-out lunch in about 30 minutes or so. This place is cash only, make sure to bring some.

The best bun bo hue I’ve had anywhere. The portions are generous and the broth is extremely flavorful and has a nice spicy kick as well. The pho was also great but the bun bo hue was the star. The Thai ice tea with grass jelly was pretty good as well. Highly recommended.

Hands down the best Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodle soup) in town!! The broth is so flavorful and delicious. Their banh cuon cha lua is also good. Portions are big with a reasonable price.
The ladies in there are very friendly and food comes out really quick. I highly recommend to try their Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is so good. Even though this place is small, but cozy with a lot of different Vietnamese food options.

Right, here’s the rundown on this spot—they’ve nailed the Bun Bo Hue in Philly! Now, I’ll say it leans a bit on the sweet side, but it’s not a deal-breaker. The broth is packed with rich, bold flavors, and they’re not stingy with the meat, which is always a plus. But let’s talk about what’s missing—where’s the blood cake? And some crunchy toppings like cabbage or banana flower would really take it up a notch. Still, the service is spot on. Quick, friendly, and the staff genuinely care about making sure you’re sorted. Small place, but no long waits—and a heads up, it’s cash only!
Now, their Banh Cuon Cha Lua is fantastic. The rice rolls have just the right chewy texture, filled with savory ground pork and earthy woodear mushrooms. The Nuoc Mam? Perfectly balanced, just the right amount of zing. And the Cha Hue, absolutely delicious, complements everything beautifully. Pair that with the crisp Do Chua, fresh cucumber, and basil, and you’ve got a brilliant balance of flavors and textures on the plate.

Such an underrated vietnamese spot! The bun bo hue is definitely one of their specialties and some of the best I’ve ever had. You can tell alot of time and work goes into every dish and its broth. Consistent quality, highly recommend!!

Stepping into this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Vietnam.
I HIGHLY recommend the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. I’ve never had a dish quite like this in a Vietnamese place before. The soup was a little spicy and a little sweet, and it is just the flavor you want to eat on a hot day. The Chicken Pho noodle was nice and fatty, and really delicious, but the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was the show stopper. I loved their thick Vietnamese ice coffee.
