If anything, this replacement for Pho Lei Li in the First International Market building just off the Boulevard at St. Vincent's Street, is an upgrade of that respected Vietnamese house. True, prices were way higher reflecting the impact of restaurant inflation, but the quality was there, our Summer Rolls zoftig and Banh Mi larger and packed with flavor in lightly toasted crunchy baguette rolls.
Service was efficient and attentive. The owner greeted us, and seeing my Eagles gear offered his support for a Super Bowl win and a 10% discount. He returned to our table to check our satisfaction as we chowed down.
The Roasted Pork and Roasted Beef Banh Mis were excellent- loaded with meat, carrot, onion, cucumber and daikon w light aioli. Among the best we have enjoyed on the East Coast. We also sipped on hot VN coffee with condensed milk. So strong, savory and thick that it totally focused my mind on the intensity of the moment.
Pho Nam Giang is going to be a winner in Northeast Philadelphia and beyond.
