The famous Ipho truck from Drexel. The owner Son is one of the coolest people I've met. The food here is legit, they cut no corners. They recently moved to market street between 35th and 36th. For those who thought the truck closed down, please be relieved. Most of the items in the menu are exceptional and affordable. My favorite is their chicken rice plate. The chicken is marinated in lemon grass and curry and a ton more spices that makes it one of a kind and impossible to replicate at home. The plate comes with pickled salad that's sweet and tangy and crunchy. Their sweet sauce on rice is to die for. The sauce is salty and sweet, it is the perfect companion for the chicken. Speaking of chicken, it is huge! I mean, it takes up 3/4 of the whole box. I got mine with a side of egg for $1. You can also get an extra piece of chicken for $5. I'm a big guy and I could not finish it. Their drinks are also big. A lot of places give you medium to small cups but at Son's Ipho, they give you huge drinks. I do have to say though, the flavors of the drinks could be more pronounced. For the price though, you're definitely getting a bargain. Overall, this is one of the best places to grab Vietnamese food in Ucity. If you're craving Asian and you're tired of Chinese take out, this is your top pick! read more

DO NOT GET TAKEOUT FROM HERE!!! First, the prices on the website (which are a couple dollars more than pho at other places) are WRONG. I thought I was going to pay around $21 for two large phos to go. Instead, it was just under $30. When I asked, the older gentleman stated that the website was outdated and prices had gone up. Needless to say, he did not honor the prices online. Secondly, I was delivering one pho to my buddy and taking the other one home. Same gentleman told me which bag was which and labeled them. Unfortunately, after delivering the food and arriving home, I discovered he had switched them up. Do not patronize this place. Lastly, quality of pho was average at best. Broth was under seasoned and meat quality was underwhelming. Save your money for Pho Ha or Choo Choo in Chinatown!!! You'll get better food AND more food for the same amount of money. read more

Sometimes you expect to find great food in great and expensive restaurants or go in the search of a decent lunch to restaurant. Sometimes food trucks have great pictures and a lot of buzz but when you get their and order you are able to see that restaurants are in mortar and brick. In this case, I must tell you... It is NOT just hipe. This place delivers such great quality and quantity at a supper affordable price, almost everything in their menu is 6bucks. Which they should keep because is a great hook once you taste the food and realize that is truly amazing. This little food truck should definitely be in one of those food network episodes about food truck eateries. read more

Bottom line: great place to grub if you're nearby and want convenient pho. I tried this place skeptically, wondering how good pho from a food truck could be. However, to my pleasant surprise, the pho wasn't bad at all. Ipho is far from the best pho restaurant - even for UC standards. The noodles are bit hard and the broth is mediocre. Yet it wouldn't be fair to compare iPho to actual Vietnamese pho restaurants. As only food truck that serves pho, it does it's job pretty well and earns borderline 4 stars. This is a great on the run lunch for Drexel students or people stopping by the area and aren't looking to eat anywhere serious. Tried: beef pho ($6) Pros: gives plenty of meat. good serving size, decent flavors Cons: noodles are a bit hard, broth is mediocre, broth is served lukewarm sometimes and rare meats end up raw or undercooked (which may actually be a great pro for those rare meat lovers out there). pro tip: don't eat the pho right away. Found out that letting it sit for a bit softens noodles and gives time for meat to kind of cook a wee bit more read more

3.5 stars. I'll round up. I work at DU library, and saw this truck numerous times. Me and my coworker were debating when we should try it out. It was a late summer day we ended up going, there was only 1 guy working. We walked by other times and saw 2 people... so not sure what the normal number of workers are. There was one person ahead of us. We took the time to review the menu. Decided to go 2 beef pho, 1 chicken banh mi, 1 beef banh mi. The issue i found was that it took a really long time for our order to come up. We both were freaking out a bit because we only take 30 minute lunch breaks... and we already waited 15 minutes for food (most likely because only one worker). Pho broth should essentially be simmering non-stop during lunch hours, and boil water ready for pho noodles to be cooked. But that's just me...He did have to cook the meats for the banh mi which (chicken) takes longer since it is fresher and "to order". The prices were reasonable for what we got. The pho was surprisingly pretty good. The broth had some nice flavors and there was adequate amount of beef. I had more meat balls and brisket than raw beef (tai) shown in other people's picture. Perhaps they changed it up a bit? It came in a big gulp-esque styrofoam cup which made it easier to eat. The banh mi was a miss for me. It wasn't a true vietnamese hoagie. It was a fusion of korean bbq sauce marinated meat---which is a bit too sweet. The other parts of the banh mi were pretty good though. I'd suggest trying a lemon grass vietnamese inspired marinade. My friend also agreed that the banh mi meat were sweet. But she also agreed that the pho was pretty good. Flash forward another few weeks, my friend went again for the pho--and it seemed they switched the pho bowl to a smaller but wider styrofoam cup. Unfortunately, she said the quality went down a bit. I'd really love for this truck to succeed. It gives a better option than the other grease trucks in the area. I don't work at Drexel anymore, but when i'm in the area anytime soon in this colder winter, i'll be sure to check out the pho. read more

Vietnamese is definitely one of my favorite cuisines. With skepticism and doubts, I decided to try iPho. The beef bahn mi is delicious!!!! Tender and flavorful beef with fresh carrots slices, cucumber and cilantro, spreaded with this savory Vietnamese sauce. Next time I'm trying the pho. Last but not the least, the staff is soooo friendly. read more

iPho - Beef bahn mi. - Food Trucks Near Me

This review is only about the pho. It is one of the worst pho I've had. First, the noodles were not pho noodles - they were wide rice noodles used for pad Thai. Second, the broth had no flavor. Seriously. None. It was basically hot water flavored only by the meat and the herbs that were in the soup. I had to mix in the sriracha and hoisin sauces just to get it to taste not so gross. At least it wasn't salty, I guess? The price was alright, and the service was friendly. But guys, if you're going to call your cart the iPho Food Cart, you gotta get the pho right. read more

This food truck does not get as much attention as it deserves! I've eaten 3 different things at iPho: Pho (of course!), fried shrimps (forgot the actual name of the dish), an Pork Banh Mi, all of which were great! Coming from a food truck, I did not have high expectations for the Pho, but they pulled it off. The only thing is that some of the noodles were a bit clumped together. The fried shrimps were great for a snack or shared appetized between 2 people. And finally the banh mi. The flavor is totally there. It was reaaally spicy, which I liked, although they did not ask me if I wanted it spicy (I guess that makes it more authentic??). The obligatory veggies, cilantro, and sauce were present, and the pork was perfectly cooked I only wish it was a little bit bigger! :'( ...But overall great stuff. read more

Very delicious pho and reasonably priced. The owners are very polite and sweet. The spring rolls were also very good! Cute atmosphere and location. read more

My Fiancé and I decided to visit iPho a couple weeks ago on a whim, and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food for the price. Both the pho and the spring rolls we ordered were delicious. Needless to say we will be visiting again, when we're back in the area! read more

I ordered the chicken pho and was relatively pleased. While the noodles were not the typical pho noodles (they were flat, thin, and fell apart) I ultimately believe this was a good place to grab a bite to eat for lunch. read more

This is one of my favorite food trucks around Drexel's campus. I love Pho and they have very good Pho's taste. I especially like the beef balls they add to Pho. Sometimes I want to have Pho for breakfast before going to class but they open pretty late. Hope they can open a little bit earlier. read more

Since I graduated from Drexel in '14 and moved away, there have been a bunch of trucks that left campus, and even more that took their place. And there is no shortage of those Halal trucks. Dang, those things have taken over UCity. Not that I'm mad, they smell delicious and mouth-watering but that one across from the library will always be the classic.... Anyway, this review is about iPho. Now that I work at Drexel, why not regain my love for food trucks and with, all the weight ever. I love pho, and banh mis, so I was very eager to give this truck a chance. I've only gone twice but this will definitely be one of my "Treat Yo Self" haunts. Both times I've gotten the pork banh mi. At only $5, it'll fill you up and not dampen your already miniscule bank account. The roll was crunchy on the outside, but soft, and the meat was tender and perfectly seasoned. There's ample carrots and cilantro. Only a few jalapenos however and I was only a little disappointed to see regular half-moon cucumber slices rather than the long-cut Persian cucumber of a traditional banh mi. Whatever, I still jammed the entire thing in my mouth and enjoyed every bite. What I like best, personally, is there was no pate on the hoagie. I don't like pate, and was glad it wasn't there. The sauce they slather on the roll first is pretty sweet but good, just avoid taking a mouthful of only that. There's only two guys working and they seem pretty cool (the guy who takes orders was very patient when I tried to pay with my card, but I am an idiot and didn't realize I was $2 shy of $5 and had to step aside to put more cash on my card) and do their best to hustle out orders. It gets pretty crowded around lunch time, so be ready to dedicate at least 15-20 minutes to waiting for your food. But hey, that's good for you. Get out of the office for a bit. I really want to try that pho next visit, and maybe the lemongross chicken. You get a whole half bird and a side of rice and I think something else. Good deal! I hope iPho stays on Drexel's campus, at least for as long as I'm working there. read more

Great pho, friendly people. Highly recommended! It's not easy to serve pho from a cart, but I don't think it gets much better than this. A nice change from the always-crowded chicken-and-rice place up the street. Now if only I knew their hours/days of operation... read more
