"At the Southeast corner of 12th and Washington sits Philly’s most iconic phở spot. Pho 75's menu is straightforward, with pretty much only beef and chicken phở, juice, coffee, and some very good lemon soda. There's no decor to speak of, unless you count the TVs playing the Sixers game and a few Eagles flags. And the room is almost always full of families, friends, and solo diners eating meals in under 30 minutes. Choose your beef combo—we like the #6, which comes with slices of eye-round steak, chewy beef tendon, and crisp white onions—then bask in the salty-sweet broth sans any fatty clouds. Bring cash or use the ATM at the front." - alison kessler
