    Always walked by as it is located on outskirts of Chinatown. Decided to give it a try. Went in at 5pm on Monday night. We were the only ones eating in but the kitchen was constantly bringing out to go orders with frequent pick ups. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable seats in nice a/c.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered bun and broken rice with beef spring rolls. Very delicious. The grilled beefs is tasty with little sweetness mixed in savory flavors. Will definitely come back next time visiting philly. Waitress is very nice and friendly.

    Amazing broth! Good amount of shrimp in Pho. The summer rolls were fresh and of course the peanut sauce hit. I had shrimp and my mom had chicken pho. It is a different broth. I've seen same broths whatever you eat and this is not the case here. Rich deep broth. Plenty of veggie garnish. Of course I'd want more hoisin/hot mix (it's extra $$) and I'll know from now on. This was pick up so I can't comment on ambiance. Service was quick, my order was ready and they greeted me immediately ready to seat me if I chose. They level up and give you a Pho spoon not a regular. check pic I will def return.

    There is nothing like a bowl of Pho on a blustery winter day. I got the vegetable pho and it said chicken broth which I was fine with, but didn't see any Pho options for those seeking vegetarian only options. It was flavorful and as expected. Also got couple of Ban Mi for takeout and they were good as well.

    Delicious pho and rage beef salad, they were able to accommodate our big party and serve us really quick and fast. The food was great.

    Touring Chinatown in Philly. Great Pho, smoothies, and spring rolls. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a nice comforting family atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service was intentional and welcoming.

    I needed a comfort meal after traveling to Philly to watch the Eagles game, only to see them lose to the broncos. The service and meal were decent but it hit the spot. Not the best pho I've had but idk if Philly offers more or better

    Rice vermicelli with sweet fried tofu for the vegetarians and vegans.  Delicious and good portions.

    Really good pho with decent portions and prices. My go-to Viet place in Chinatown. I tried their rice vermicelli with sweet tofu for the first time today. and it was so good (pic attached).

    Pho fried shrimp dumplings were sooo tasty. SO MUCH FOOD. To go: shrimp summer rolls & Pad tai...exceptional service!

    Pho 20 has delicious pho and vermicelli! I recently discovered their bun bo hue and it's become one of my favorite items they serve. It has sliced beef, pigs feet, and Vietnamese ham. The soup is flavorful and deep, definitely tastes like it's been boiled for hours. It's got a good amount of heat but not unbearably spicy. The noodles are different from pho noodles. They're thicker and round. Don't forget to squeeze in the lime & top with bean sprouts and basil. I would highly recommend this if you're in the area craving for some good BBH or want to switch it up from typical pho. Otherwise, they have great options on the menu too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is simple and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick! I've also ordered them on food delivery apps and the food always comes well packaged!

    Hubby and I came here on a Saturday early evening for dinner. They were completely empty, however, I noticed they had many takeout orders. We ordered an almond boba tea, iced Vietnamese tea, fresh rolls, Pho soup with tripe, brisket, and tendon. I ordered the Korean bbq with rice. It was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. This was wonderful! Customer service was very good!

    This place has got really tasty pho. Their food is authentic and has great flavor. Their portion size for the price is also awesome too! A big bowl of noodles for $12.50 (without tax and tip). I ordered pho tai (I only like to eat lean meats so this is a good option if that's what you're into). It's vermicelli noodles with flank steak slices, scallions, and onion, all in a delicious broth. Pho usually comes with a side of bean sprouts, jalapeños, and limes. When I get my pho, I put the bean sprouts in first to let them cook a bit in the soup and I squeeze a bit of lime but I leave out the jalapeños since I'm not into spicy foods. Some people also add sirracha into the pho too. But basically I let it sit for a minute or two so the meat and bean sprouts cook then I mix it all up and slurp away. The service is also good too. They are attentive and get to you quickly. The food also comes out super fast! Usually when I go, it's never super packed so you'll most likely be seated immediately. The vibes are super casual and quiet inside. Come by for some savory noodle soup or rice platters!

    5 Star service! Short story, I ordered Pho that had egg noodles mistakenly thinking I ordered the soup with rice noodles. I ask the waitress that I thought the kitchen made a mistake. She responded very politely that I ordered the soup with the egg noodles "#H2". H1 has the rice noodles. I said, that I was the one that made the mistake. Two minutes later she brought me a big bowl of rice noodles in broth.

    DONT EAT HERE. I was so sick to see when I bite into my spring roll there was a dead fly.

    I was born and raised in Philly Chinatown and have been eating here for as long as I can remember…read more It's been a whole decade now and even though me and my family have moved right outside of Philly, we still drive that long distance and come here to eat because it's never changed. The fresh smell of their noodles brings back nice childhood memories. Their food has always been great and their broth is absolutely delicious. Me and my siblings always clear the entire bowl and leave nothing behind. Their spring rolls are a MUST TRY because it's always very crispy and steaming hot when they serve it to you. The drinks are amazing especially their fruit smoothies because they use actual fresh fruits so their drinks end up having a lot of flavor. The staff here are very nice that we even managed to get along with some of them. You can rest assured that you WILL get what you paid for because they fill their bowls to the brim. There's always going to be a good amount of food in each of their dishes so feel free to order whatever you crave. Couple tips: Try to eat AT the place to ensure that your food is fresh and good. Take out for the most part isn't really good because your food is literally just sitting there until you get it or until you open it up and eat it. USE THEIR SAUCES!!! Or make your own sauce with the ones provided. Always makes a difference when I dip food in it or mix it with the soup. Don't be afraid to come with a big group of people. They have an upstairs seating area too but I guess if you're coming with a lot of people just let them know in advance before entering. This is Chinese owned so it's more like a casual Asian restaurant but the food is definitely worth a try because it's affordable.

    Came here for a late lunch on a weekend and it wasn't busy. We ordered a bbq beef with egg on rice…read more(#208) and it was delicious. The meat portion is sufficiently big and the meal was about $14. The place is clean and the bathrooms are clean. I'm excited to come back for pho!

    A no frills place. Cash only. They serve great pho. Johnny on the spot. Sit. Order. Eat and pay…read more But it's consistently really good. Not really a date night. But definitely is a nice comfort food option.

    This is supposedly the best phở in Philadelphia, and the best I've ever had! And it's incredibly…read morecheap compared to Boston. 1.Phở - Tái, Nạm, Gầu, Gân, Sách: The broth was dark, but the flavor was natural and umami; the beef was in big portion and large slices, tender, and the tripe had no gamey taste; the rice noodles were authentic Vietnamese phở, perfectly cooked and very refreshing. The biggest surprise was the tái (eye-round steak), yet still retaining that pleasantly chewy texture of undercooked beef; the gầu (fat brisket) was thick and crisp, fragrant but not greasy--who would have thought I'd find brisket fat here? This showed the restaurant's precise control over the broth temperature and the thickness of the beef. Almost all phở restaurants claim to offer authentic raw beef or various cuts of beef, but very few can truly make customers feel the difference. The restaurant's decor is simple but spacious and clean; the service is average, but very efficient. Efficiency is essential for phở, otherwise the beef would be overcooked in the hot broth. After all, the essence of a restaurant is food, and for such affordable ones, it's gratifying to see them spend most of their costs on the food itself.
