"If you’ve been to the original Vietnam Restaurant in Chinatown, then you already know it has consistently good dishes like vermicelli bowls, seafood claypots, and crispy spring rolls. Plus, the tiki-ish cocktails are way stronger than they taste. The Vietnam Cafe in University City has pretty much the same food and drink situation as the Chinatown spot, but it’s way bigger and there’s usually a table open—even if you show up with your entire family." - candis mclean
"West Philly’s Vietnam Cafe serves a whole range of Vietnamese food like claypot dishes, bun cha, and BBQ platters. But for the purposes of this guide, we’ll focus on their phở. In the version with beef brisket, you get hints of cinnamon and clove, and the beef basically falls apart when you nudge it with a spoon. If you’re into seafood, get the hu tieu do bien, which has a near-infinite amount of shrimp, squid, fishcakes and vegetables in the bowl. " - Alison Kessler
"If you’ve been to the original Vietnam Restaurant in Chinatown, then you already know it has incredible dishes like vermicelli rice noodle bowls, papaya salad, and lime chicken. Plus, the Polynesian cocktails are way stronger than they taste. The Vietnam Cafe in University City has pretty much the same food and drink situation, but it’s larger than the Chinatown location, and there’s always a table open–even if you show up with your entire spin class." - Candis Mclean, Team Infatuation

"If you’ve been to the original Vietnam Restaurant in Chinatown, then you already know it has some great Vietnamese food and a large menu of Polynesian cocktails that are way stronger than they taste. Vietnam Cafe in University City has pretty much the same food and drink situation, but it’s larger than the Chinatown location, and there’s always a table open - even if you show up with your entire competitive stretching team." - Sydney McElwee
