“ I came with 4 friends on a rainy Friday night without a reservation. We were seated immediately at one end of a large table. The menu is very simple- you get Pho and can pick the meats. I don't think they have any vegetarian options, as even the plain noodles are served in a meat-based broth. We each ordered our Pho and some of us got drinks. The lemon soda was super yummy, but we didn't love the pickled soda. It is pretty no frills, but the service is quick. There was some confusion, but fortunately one our party members is Vietnamese and could help out the server. The only note is there was a man acting a little wild outside the restaurant, and a server beckoned him to come in. I think he thought he was a delivery driver? He created some distraction, until a server walked him out. It's no frills, but the food is fantastic! It was perfect for an impromptu meal and I can't wait to go back. ”

“ Came in after a long weekend at Hijinx 2024 and it was mostly empty around 11:45pm / 12pm but once it hit 1pm there were no more seats! It looks very classic and old traditional viet restaurant with LOTS of seating. It's in the middle of a little Asian strip mall with lots of other options to eat but this is the main place for JUST PHO. I would definitely come slightly earlier for lunch if you're going to Philly on an on peak timing when an event is occurring. Also REMEMBER TO BRING CASH. They don't accept cards. There's also no banh mi - for that you might need to go next door so basically if you and your friends all want to sit next to each other you would be ordering pho. Well in our case that's exactly what we came here for. There was two sizes: the medium and large. The large is only slightly larger than the medium so it just depends on how much you want. We all ordered the first one on the menu, a classic. The broth tasted super flavorful and slightly more salty but because the noodles are so thin it sopped up all the flavor and that's where the golden experience lies. The bowl of pho was so nurturing and very tasty and the meat was all perfectly cooked filled with flavor. The lime was super juicy and added a good flavor to my broth. Since we needed some energy we ordered the black coffee and the black coffee with condensed milk. Since I'm a black coffee drinker who is more into third wave coffee I think this just taste like a French roast and it's not as refreshing as what id hope and not enough caffeine for me because it is dark roasted. The rest of the table got theirs with condensed milk which is a much better option for energy since the sugar in the condensed milk should wake you up instead of the coffee. This restaurant is an absolute gem and I can't wait to return whenever i can get a chance. ”

“ Food/drinks: broth was light and yummy. A bit salty but the thin rice noodles did a lovely job picking up the broth, flavoring the noodles well. The slice beef, flank, and brisket was cut just right. The lime added the perfect acidity to the soup as well. The lime they offered was probably the juiciest lime I ever got. (I usually get the dry ones!) The iced black drip pot coffee with condensed milk is a staple after a long weekend of raving. (post hijinx meal). The condensed milk is at the bottom so mix well before pouring onto the ice. Iykyk! Service: fast as hell. We got served and ate fast before the tables started filling up. Ambiance: it might be a hole in a wall pho spot but it's relatively big. A lot of tables. The restaurant is your typical viet pho spot surrounded by supermarkets and other Asian restaurants. They also have a parking lot. I was also tempted by the banh mi and boba shop next door. I will definitely get that when I come back! ”

“ Food: The classic pho was absolutely delicious. The broth was flavorful and aromatic, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. The addition of actual lime was delicious, elevating the overall taste of the dish. Cost: The price was very reasonable for such a large and satisfying bowl of pho. It was a great value for the quality of the food. Environment: While the interior wasn't anything special, it was clean and functional. The ample seating was a plus, and the aroma of the broth was inviting. Service: The service was quick and efficient. The staff was friendly and helpful. Uniqueness: It was a classic, well-executed dish that satisfied our cravings. So happy that they provided lime with the dish because I kid you not, some places think its acceptable to give you lemon instead of lime. ”

“ The best, most consistently excellent pho I have ever had. You walk into an unassuming spot off Washington ave (and pray there is no queue), you signal how people are in your party, and you'll be directed to your table. Quick look at the menu and within a minute, you'll have a big hot bowl of delicious pho at your table. I love how smooth and quick the whole process is. The menu essentially has one thing on it, a bowl of pho, but you get to choose the meats. I usually choose to get it with flank, eye-round steak, and well done brisket. I also always go for the large. I add some siracha and squeeze in some lemon and we're off to flavor country. Such good pho, absolute banger, and so much food for a fair price. One of my biggest comfort spots in the city, can't reccomend it enough. Do attend. Regularly. ”
