They finally reopened recently and I love having their authentic Vietnamese cuisine.
I got the pho brisket and the meat was a bit chewy but everything else was fantastic. The pho broth was so good!
We also ordered shaken beef rice and that was amazing.. really tender steak served with rice and salad.
The menu is not really large; they only serve a few appetizers, phos and broken rice dishes here, but if you like Vietnamese food or looking for something light, I believe this is the ideal place to visit.

Pho is delicious and authentic in a beautiful little space with a great vibe and helpful staff. Concise menu that focuses on the staples and specialties. Perfect place to make your belly warm and happy on a cool autumn night.

Its was good. Center city quality of food in the suburbs. The price is on the high end side. I blame Joe Biden on the prices. I have no choice but to eat.
The pad thai was very authentic to thai restaurants in Philadelphia.
The vegan spring roll was very refreshing.
The berry tea was ok. I like it much sweeter.
I will be back again.

The pho here is good and we had great service from Ashley while dining outside. The wings and brussel sprouts were delicious and I’d come back just for those

Pretty average place. Spring rolls were alright. The give you three and cut it in half so it’s good to share with two. Pork chop broken rice is pretty bland and a bit dry, but the shaken beef broken rice dish is well season And tender. The portions are a bit on the smaller side however. Their Pho broth is alright but seems a bit overly seasoned. If you like a strongly season broth with your noodles, this is your place. Service is decent. The wait between orders is okay.

Went there for dinner with my son. I ordered the Pho with meatballs and it was delicious. So much flavor. I also ordered the Vietnamese ice coffee. Our waiter, Ben, show how to properly finish letting it brew and how to properly pour. Great experience, we will certainly be back.

I love pho. Melody’s brisket pho is the BEST I’ve ever had. Savory, complex, delicious. On a cold winter night the fatty richness of the brisket was the perfect meal. We brought a Petit Siravo (it’s BYOB) as the perfect complement. Crispy dumplings appetizer was delicious too. If you love pho, this is a hidden gem.

My boyfriend and I have dined in once – atmosphere is great, the food was amazing. Know that the regular menu is family-style, so if you’re a couple on date night you’re either going to have to agree on a dish or you’re going to be getting a ton of food! It’s priced accordingly for family-style. The shaken beef was our favorite!
I also went in yesterday to pick up takeout amidst the pandemic – I am trying to support my favorite local restaurants who are also observing proper precautions. I am happy to report that Melody’s is only taking online payments, will provide delivery if you live within their service area, or completely contactless pickup if you are doing takeout. My order was set on table located well away from where staff where preparing food, and no additional contact was needed since it was already paid for. Hand sanitizer was also located by the door. The food smelled absolutely amazing and I couldn’t wait to get home to try it. I got the Saigon Stir-Fried Scallion noodles with ribeye, and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve had in my entire life! I would LOVE if this were added to the regular menu, but as of right now I think this is just a takeout special. Please consider supporting Melody’s during this time because they are doing everything right while allowing us to enjoy our favorite foods when we’re sick of cooking and need a little comfort food.

The only thing saving this restaurant from a “0” star rating was the food was decent. The service was outrageously bad. We waited for over an hour after ordering just to get our appetizer and that is only when we asked the waitress where it was. We then had to ask about our entrees and when they were finally served we only received 2 out of the 4 that were ordered. After asking again we received the 3rd entree. The 4th entree was then served 15 minutes later. We had to ask the waitress multiple times just to get water at our table. The waitress was frequently on her phone and never returned to our table to see if we needed anything during the meal. I was looking forward to trying this restaurant but very doubtful I will return.

I ordered Thai foods and those were probably one of the worst Thai foods I ever ordered. If it’s not for the friendly staffs, I’d just give zero star. Pineapple fried rice was bombarded with butter, rice was undercooked, no Thai flavor or whatsoever! Drunken noodle was horrible, no one touched after a few bites, just taste of soy source, and NO THAI FLAVOR at all! I had so many drunken noodles before, so I know exactly what would be in there and how it should taste, very disappointed. Pad Thai was only thing that was barely reminded me that I ordered some Thai foods, but I’d say it was below average, at best. They may serve other good foods, but those foods I ordered were really bad! Any ways, I’m local and hate to give a bad review for a business, but I’m leaving my comment here, so they can improve the food qualities (The reason why I ordered was based on review, so I felt like that I was fooled).
