Reviews
no-frills, no greetings, no small talk, just good food. They also have a small internal shop with ready-to-go foods, and everything looked super fresh. I tried their Vietnamese iced coffee too — too bold for my liking, and I was perturbed that about 80% of the cup turned out to be ice.
Overall, quality authentic food at very decent prices. Absolutely returning.
Pho: soup had excellent flavor; deep rich umami beef broth with just the right amount of saltiness. No shortcuts here. Amount of meat you get is a little light so order extra for $2 if you’d like.
Cha gio: nice and crispy, not oily. Great flavor, tasted like you were having it at a bbq or your Viet friends mom made them.
This is a mom and pop place with a lot of Vietnamese customers. I closed my eyes and the sounds and smells transported me to another place…. but not as humid. They also sell some home made foods there.
If you are new to Viet cuisine try the near by Pho Ha Saigon a bit more newbie friendly. Then come back here and try it out!
The rice rolls are okay, nam phuong, my favorite restaurant gets an 8/10 from me for those and they get a 6.5/10 for that dish, not because it’s bad, but just lacking and their fish sauce isn’t as good. However, if you are too lazy to make the trip to South Philly and don’t want to park in that terribly busy lot, it is worth it if you’re craving it.
The goi ngo sen really hit the spot. I devoured that plate and I will come back for more, provided their quality is consistent. I could be wrong, but I think they used freshly fried shallot oil, which made it so much better. The shallots were slightly soggy, unlike the premade dried stuff which is dehydrated and then fried. You could taste the shallot flavored oil subtly throughout the dish. Meat and shrimp were fresh (the day of), it wasn’t just sitting around from the other day. Vegetables weren’t overly pickled (too sweet or too sour, right thickness to absorb the pickling well). I definitely will be back.
