Phở Viet

Pho was a bit sweet for my liking, but good otherwise. Bahn mi was great, bread toasted and the pate stand outs. Friendly service and well cleaned environment.

First time trying out this place. It was an awesome experience. The noodle soup was perfect and my spring rolls were delicious. I also had iced coffee and it hit the spot. The server and the rest of the people here were very friendly and helpful. I'll be back, soon I Hope..

A gem in a little strip mall full of Vietnamese businesses. This place is a legit pho shop that has a broad range of dishes including bahn mi, egg noodles soups, noodle bowls, and stir fry options. I came for the pho and cha gio. 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!

This place distribute their Banh mi sandwiches and pork rolls to a few places in the area. Personally I like here way more than BL. Love their hot food as well. Don’t have a specific dish to recommend but definitely worth a visit, they also take orders by phone as some days it’s just too busy

A diamond in the rough! Extremely flavorful broth packed with noodles and many choices of meat. The banh mi is exceptional, too. This is the place that locals get their pho and it shows.

Been here a few times, always good. This time I got BBQ chicken spring rolls and beef Pho with rare steak. My friend got spicy soup. Everything was delicious. Even took some food home to go.

Let me say: I only really review by the dish as it's hard to find a place where everything is good. That said I came here because I was craving goi ngo sen which is a type of Vietnamese salad, made with pickled veg(like from banh mi), pickled lotus root, boiled shrimp and pork belly, with herbs and aromatics that you scoop up with fried shrimp crackers. This is not for anyone with shrimp or peanut allergies. I got that and banh cuon, Vietnamese rice rolls bc I couldn't help myself when I saw it on the menu. 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.

I ordered a takeout pho with beef balls. I only recieved 2 beef balls inside my soup. Will not be ordering here again.

We ordered pickup from here the other night, and their pho definitely hit the spot. Even as a "to-go" offer, they did a great job of packaging up the necessary ingredients so it would look and taste as fresh as it would be if you ordered it as a sit down meal. Service was friendly - but with just picking up, had minimal interaction. They were able to offer their standard pho as a vegetarian option, which was much appreciated. Walking in to get the food, I had a chance to just quickly observe the ambience. Kind of a "hole in the wall" spot, that isnt putting out too much on their aesthetic, but their food is well worth it. Pho is not hard to come by in Philly, and I would say this place still stood out for us.

Hair is everywhere on all the food they need to wear hairnet or a mask or tie their hair and wear a hairnet because there is hair everywhere is probably worse in the kitchen. If you see her in the food, there's probably hair all over the counter and floor I hope it is not dog or animal hair

Blown away. Place is like stepping into Hanoi. Everyone was speaking Vietnamese or Cantonese with a Vietnamese accent. Don't expect anything fancy but food is super authentic and it's a deep menu of Vietnamese classics. You have the ubiquitous pho with various options with beef broth that's clear yet flavorful. Then the somewhat harder to find banh cuon and bahn uot dishes, that are often not very well prepared, but they do a great job here. Service was friendly although only a couple of servers could speak a smattering of english. That's not an inconvenience but a true sign of authenticity. The place was a random find but it has to be really good in a gritty strip mall that's filled with Vietnamese stores, market, services, etc. Fortunately parking is super easy. Absolutely a real gem of a find.

Terrible experience, I ordered two Vietnamese hoagies and it had mold on it. When I found out I brought it back and told them it had mold on it and the lady owner told me that their food doesn't have mold on it. When I showed her the hoagie she said oh it's just a little bit on the outside it's not a big deal. It's mold on the food which is nasty! Stay away from this place super dirty and they don't care about being sanitary with the food.

Great spot to go if you're craving pho or Vietnamese food. Service was great. Our waiter checked on us multiple times throughout our time and filled our water often. My go-to is usually the Pho Viet Dac Biet, (pho deluxe with slice of eye round steak, well-done flank, fat brisket, tender and tripe). So good. They are generous with how much meat they give as well! You got a lot! Highly recommend the spring rolls too! It's fried to crispy perfection. Highly recommend eating it while it's hot/warm. The most recent time I went, I wanted to try something different so I got the Bun Dac Biet, dried rice noodles with pork floss, grill pork chop, sausage, spring rolls, and pickled veggies. This one does not come with a broth but you can pour prepped fish sauce over it to add some extra flavor. Tip for first-timers, you have to go to the cash register in the back to pay once you are done. Just tell them your table number (it's labels on your table or the wall) and they'll ring you up.

It was my first time at this restaurant. My family and I arrived at this location in the afternoon. The parking lot is large. The staff is friendly and quick. I had special pho and Vietnamese iced coffee. The broth was delicious and flavorful. The meats were tender and fresh. I loved the coffee with condensed milk. My daughter had mi xao gion. She said the fried noodle was not fresh to achieve her expectation. I will definitely come back in the future.

There wear hair in my bowl and there's fly everywhere it was really dirty. I don't know why they didn't even clean my bowl and there was like leftover food in there.

Very nice employees with various food options. Great place if you want to pick up something small to snack on or a meal to take out

Typically the food here is great and the service is wonderful, but on the last day that I had gone -- the service was garbage and I had been treated terribly. I waited almost half an hour, after entering the store, to get two glasses of water and to get served. Upon ordering, it took even longer for my food to come out. Everyone else that had come after me had gotten their meals, drinks and all. When my food finally did arrive, it looked as if they had altered my noodles and meats in my Pho, and the egg roll looked as if someone had scooped it up from behind the refrigerator and put it on a plate (hair, dirt and everything!). My waiter served me both items nonchalantly, and after being told that there is hair in my food - he had pretended to act surprised that I wouldn't want to eat it! I'm not coming here anymore. I used to come here a lot as a teenager with my family, and now I am not so sure about returning.

Babe and I are forever loyal to this place! They have come through for us on many occasions. From super bowl party trays to last minute Christmas trays full of crispy flavorful summer rolls. Not only is their catering food fantastic and affordable but they also are super consistent with their delectable bahn mi's! #dontsleep

I love & our family loves Pho Viet. Awesome with catering orders & super flexible. Consistent quality.

Their other dishes besides pho is amazing! My rice noodles were very soft but still chewy. The thai iced tea is so good! The chicken is deliciously cooked with an awesome sweet & savory sauce! The star meal was my mom's plate of broken rice with grilled pork chops and tofu skin. The tofu skin was especially good! I could eat a whole plate of it as its own meal, it's very addicting. It's a shrimp/pork kind of sausage inside that has tons of flavor, plus a very crispy and deliciously fried tofu wrapped around it. Would love to know how you guys made it, it's so yummy!

No frills authentic Vietnamese cuisine The fried rice is soooo good here. Also there is off menu fried pork belly. SO GOOD

The com suon and pho were fine. Not so much of the banh mi though.

There are not that many options in the Lower NE for good Pho but out of all the places, I pick this one. Stick to the traditional beef pho; the broth is good and the meats taste fresh. Instead of ordering the pork and summer roll, order the BBQ pork summer roll-it is Amazing! Also, the rice and vermicelli dishes are good too! Try the Banh Mi to go; it's good and affordable! One last advice- I would Not order the seafood pho or Vietnamese iced coffee. The seafood pho is very very very bland! And the Vietnam iced coffee tastes like mocha or chocolate.

I LOVE this place. We discovered them on GrubHub and have never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. Their pho is amazing! Add all the extras, like bean sprouts, basil, jalapenos, hoisin sauce, sriracha... every bite is a burst of flavor. I always get the seafood pho and it's filled with little fish cakes, pieces of white fish, shrimp, and crab (with a K). It's delicious! My husband always gets one of the vermicelli dishes which he absolutely loves. Also, their summer and spring rolls are addictive!! Try this place, you will love it.

This is a no frills place. Many local residents eat here and it's next to the local Vietnamese supermarket. I came here with a large group and the boss was not to accommodating. The table was dirty and not wiped clean. The napkin holder was disgusting and dirty was good stains. The bun bo hue was made too sweet and not very authentic. The pork chop rice was better.

Don't usually post review but was very disappointed with the order. Ordered Banh Mi and Beef Stew Noodles for takeout. Banh Mi bread very hard couldn't bite into it and when broke off piece of the bread; it crumbled, possibly day old bread but that wasn't the major issue; it was the Beef Stew. I understand with pandemic that sales are slow and need to keep leftovers for next day sales but at least heat up the food for your guest. The soup for Beef Stew was cold, the congealed fat on the top layer of the soup was still there and stuck on the insides of the container. Just threw everything away...

Make sure you try M Qung! It's very flavorful and components blend into each other surprisingly naturally! Also this is one of the few places that offer Cháo lòng tit canh with such authentic and home-like taste! It would be best when you feel a little under the weather Waiters and owners of Pho Viet are really friendly and helpful. They also have some pre-made food for you to make your own Viet dish when you dont feel like hiking up to their place :P

Went here after a hard workout at the gym with the hubby(we were hungry). Saw some good reviews and we decided to head there for breakfast, plus it was the only pho place open that early. Ordered the Goi Cuon and Pho noodle soup with meatballs. The first thing I do is taste the broth, it was yummy. Noodles were fresh and they had a full variety of condiments not just hoisin and siracha sauce. Will be my go to pho place again next time!

This place is not a bad spot for those looking for a pho fix. I actually never heard of it until now. The pho was decent. The menu doesn't state that there is more than one bowl size, but the pho does come in a small/large size. Pho broth has a strong hint of star anise in it, which I like. However, due to the increased price of lime this season, the citrus garnish offered here is lemon instead. (One of many pho restaurants that is doing this substitute... boo). Pho wasn't too oily and they were not cheap on the noodles! The spring rolls were also good, and the nuoc mam that accompanied it went well with it. Service was a little slow - waiter forgot my drink, even though he brought everyone else's out. But you don't come to a Viet place like this expecting stellar service. Decent meal, good price, and quickness is all you can ask for, and Pho Viet delivers. And also, the iced Vietnamese coffee was on the sweet side for me, not a fan.

great place they have duck noodle soup and phos as well great selection and drinks too

First time here. The pho was really good. The broth was full of flavor and have a full menu. Can't wait to go back and try their other food.

I was looking for a place to eat in North Philly during my trip here and was recommended to go to Pho Viet. It was probably the best Vietnamese meal I had while I was in Philly. The restaurant is family-owned and -run so the environment is comfortable and home-like. I had the Bún mm and it was delicous. The staff is really friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend it to all those who are looking to have an authentic Vietnamese experience while you are in North Philly. I would love to comeback and try other varieties on their extensive menu.

Guys, i'm sorry... but I'm disappointed. It use to be my 'go to' spot for beef stew. I would drive there just for that amazing soup. BUT!!! 3rd time in a row it wasn't worth it... i got all the tendon and only one piece of beef. The beef was so chewy that it got stuck all over my teeth and it was hard to swallow. I don't mind tendon, in fact i like it, but it was so undercooked and rough. Even the broth itself was not thick enough. Either they changed chef or stopped caring. But please bring back that amazing beef stew back! I'm gonna give it one more shot. If they won't bring there game back up-i'll be done with this place.

Great food, good price... unpretentious restaurant catering to the native Vietnamese crowd, so definitely worth a visit. They try to be attentive and do a decent job of it, not perfect but good. I would recommend their sandwiches (grilled beef sandwich is safe for the non adventurous). We come here quite often. You just might run into us and our family on the weekends enjoying a bowl of pho and the pork chop platter!!!

Food wise is okay in fact we actually like the food. However, the price on the menu is different from the price they charge us when we got our bill. They charged us 50 cent extra for each item that we ordered which total up to $6 because we also ordered some to go. I don't mind paying for food I just despised the fact that they are not honest with their customers. In fact I don't even care if they increase the price but at least don't be cheap to update the menu and not randomly add more to the bill. Because I felt like I got ripped off. I noticed before I left the restaurant but I didn't want to cause a big scene about a few dollars and my mom told me to let it go. She was even nice enough to give them $10 tip. I will never come back here. Check your bill people! Don't let yourself get ripped off.

Food was good, fresh and prepared promptly. I gorged myself on the #17 shrimp balls with sugarcane and #B14 the Rive Vermicelli with shrimp paste wrapped in bean curd skin topped liberally with Sriracha sauce.

Hands down my favorite place to eat Vietnamese food! I love their eggrolls and drinks. I don't usually get pho so I've tried their vermicelli, broken rice platters as well as their chef special's. Some of my to-go entrees would be the rice flakes with minced pork (more of a breakfast item), seafood crispy noodles and any of the vermicelli bowls. I think they have good portions and I rarely finish my plate. Truly believe that they have good quality food and good service especially given that they are almost always packed!

This plaza is filled with other restaurants you can dine at, but this place is solid. Spacious to accommodate larger groups, but seems a bit short staffed when i visited since it took longer than usual to order and get our bill. The food was reasonably priced! Pho for under $10, huge bowls, and the broth wasn't too overpowering. Pick up a couple of banh mi to go!

I loved my vermicelli bowl. It has the most seasoned meat and shrimp I've had in a while. The Thai tea was on point as well. The service after service wasn't great but the price and quality make up for it!

Good food. My server was fast and efficient. It has a nice atomesphere, everyone's polite and friendly. I ordered the pho and it was great.

I'm a fan of Pho Viet and I'm very excited they are opening a new one in 309 Pho Viet 309. I can't wait to go there! No more heading to Philly for Pho Viet. Yasss!

First off I don't know why the average is 3 stars here. I absolutely adore this place. I'm very wary of places when I go there for the first time. I remember I ordered a bowl of pho and summer rolls. Yes typical I know. None the less it was very good with great service. I frequent here at least once a week. I expanded to trying a lot of different things and so far everything has been amazing. It makes me sad that they close early but I love the fact that they open early too. Who can say no to pho for breakfast?! I work at night so I can grab a bowl in the morning right after work! I really love the food here. I've tried a lot of pho places (I'm sure everyone else has too.) and this is my favorite place. I'm actually waiting for it to open right now as I'm writing this review. :D

Pho Viet is a good not great place to get some PHO which is close to work for me and easily accessible from the BLVD/RT 1. I give this place a 3.5/5 stars. Located in Asian shopping center. The only thing I ever get from here is the steak pho and the spring rolls so I need to get around to trying new menu items BUT the PHO is usually very hot and tasty. For the area I have not found a pho spot I like better. The spring rolls are also good. The service is okay and you are better off walking up to the counter to pay if you are in a rush. I will update my review in the future when I try more of the menu.

Excellent bbq pork banh mi at this little place in a very hectic Asian shopping strip. Drank very good hot Vietnamese coffee. I sampled the yummy pho my companions had and an avocado smoothy. Very very happy with our meal.

The food is always good and very authentic. Had the schrimp and pork summerroll followed by Vermicelli Rice Noodle Bowl #1, the best. Try some corn milk on ice. Pho is probably one of the best in Philadelphia. Get one with vietnamese gummy bears (tendon) so good.

Pho Viet is now a stable in the northeast for Vietnamese cuisine. They have a huge menu that covers north, south and central Vietnamese dishes. The restaurant is spacious and comfy. Service can be amazing or not, depending on who you get. This is one of the only complaints I have for the restaurant. The food however, makes up for all of that. Some of the highlights here are: bo ne (Vietnamese steak and egg fajitas). This is actually off the menu so make sure you ask for it by name. The dish comes with seasoned beef, meatball, pate and a sunny side up egg on a sizzling plate. It is served with a baguette and salad. Hu tieu bo sate here is also very good. If you are in the mood to try something new, check this noodle soup out. Hu tieu bo sate is essentially rice noodle in chilli peanut beef broth served with chopped beef and veggies. It is a complex and exotic flavor that is rarely available in Vietnamese restaurants. Of course your standard fares like pho and broken rice are all present. While not all dishes are top quality, most of them are a notch above other restaurants in the area. Prices are also very reasonable here. If you want a bang for your buck, this is your place.

a little hole in the wall - only cuz of it's hidden location! great deal for a good price. I hear it's BYOB which is also +1 though we've only gone during lunch and haven't brought any alcohol yet. honestly, i have basically never had a bad experience with pho. i've been here thrice now with friends and have enjoyed their pho, good broth, good amount of noodles and beef, and ample veggies on the side. their vietnamese summer rolls are yummy too!

I'm pretty sure that this place is fairly new, and might not get the attention it deserves being in a somewhat secluded strip mall, but this is a spot to seek out! I had fairly low expectations when my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try, but I was really pleasantly surprised! The decor is nice and the service is warm and friendly. And the most important thing, the pho, was very tasty!! The broth was very flavorful and the meat was all tender and delicious and served in decent portions. I also tried the spring rolls, which are always a staple of my pho experience, and they were very fresh tasting. I recommend giving this place a try! You wont be disappointed!

This is my favorite place to get good quality Vietnamese food. The service is fast and the servers are pretty friendly. I might be biased because I work in the plaza and the restaurant is conveniently close to where I live.

Recently, I had a bowl of pho here. The pho broth was of moderate quality but the MSG was overpowering. It was all I tasted in my bowl. Spices are important in pho broth, but you have to keep it nice and balanced. No balance here. Once you fail the broth, your pho fails. Would I come here again? Ummmm thats debatable but I wouldn't tell others to not come here. If I were to return, I would definitely try another dish. Service was friendly and prices are reasonable. If you're in the neighborhood and aren't looking to go much further out, then this is probably a good place to go. If you are willing to drive a few miles more, there are much better pho restaurants in the city of brotherly love.

AWFUL experience. I don't usually write reviews, but I really felt the need to share this one. Let me start by saying this would be my fourth or fifth time here. I always came here for their grilled pork over broken rice. I actually just left just a couple of friends, and I felt really obligated to let everyone know our experience. We got seated, and they brought out the usual hot tea and menu. After we ordered my boyfriend went for some tea and he discovered 2 pieces of eye lashes in his tea. So disgusting, but we didn't say anything since we understood accidents happens in restaurants so we just put the tea aside while we waited for our food. Next the fish sauce came out with our spring rolls, and lastly my rice along with 2 other bowls of pho. As my boyfriend was finishing his last bits of pho he pulled out a piece of tendon with a short piece of hair just laying on top of it. Seriously? Again? This time he called the waiter over and showed him. He seemed skeptical so he called his manager out. The manager was nice and understanding at first, but hesitant to even believe it. He just kept reassuring us that they were 100% clean, and even offered to show us his kitchen. He wasn't expecting a free meal, but just to let the manager know that was the second place he found hair. After he apologized and left, my other friend and I continued eating. I still was understanding about the situation. Next thing I know there's a piece of fur in my fish sauce, and another piece in my rice?!!! At that point we just completely stopped eating. The manager came back and we told him, but he didn't seem like he believed us and just took our food and walked away. Overall the service and taste was food was pretty average, but I will NOT be returning to Pho Viet. It was absoulutely disgusting. If you're reading my review please double check your food for any hair or debrees.

First time here but won't be the last. The people working here are helpful. The food was amazing and very reasonable in price. The sizes of almost everything are big enough to share. Very authentic !

This restaurant has gone downhill since I last been to it a couple years ago. The menu seems to have less options, they close at 7pm on most nights, the food doesn't taste as fresh, and servers have a hard time communicating to customers.

Horrible service!! Bad service & food wasn't all that great... I ordered a deluxe pho, the server served me the pho & then came back to tell me that they didn't have any bean sprouts left & that he will bring me the other veggies but it never showed up . I waited until my soup was cold. The soup tasted old, it had like a sour taste to it. We also ordered two smoothies, one smoothie came out and the other never did . We also ordered fried egg rolls and that never showed up. So after we finished eating & went up to pay for my food I told the clerk that I never received my smoothie and egg rolls, he told the server and the server handed me my smoothie which was sitting inside the kitchen the entire time, and it was melted... He also wanted me to wait for the egg rolls but I told him I didn't want it anymore because we were ready to go and that was suppose to be our appetizer. So I told him to just take it off my bill, & he apologized... Oh and another thing, we ordered a chicken Vietnamese hoagie but instead they have us a tofu Vietnamese hoagie, that, we didn't complain about because we figure it's just a small mistake in the beginning . But yes, definitely never going back... 1 star.

Absolutely love the broth here. They got it just right. How they get so many different flavors in such a light broth is like magic to me. Im there at least 3 times a week for a 5 dollar bowl of plain pho. Perfect pick me up for a hangover, or a dreary cold & rainy day. The tea is not that good tho. Kinda bland. And they don't bring ya check to your table. you have to go to the back of the store to pay. But other than that, the food is great. The place has a rather cozy feel.

So they close at 7 now. Great. I am giving them 3 stars now :/ It sucks because I liked this place. I came back a few times, and they're pho does not taste the same anymore. But still way better than pho and more 2.

One of my favorite place! I love the Pho noodles soup and their Vietnamese hoagie! All of their hoagies! I would take the trip there just to eat the foods! Their drinks is good as well, the price is fair and good portion !!! You have to try this place! Love it!
