Solid pho! Not sure why it says this place is closed but it's definitely open. The parking is insane here. We came on a Sunday and it was absolute chaos. The restaurant wasn't super busy though. Our toddler loved the grilled chicken with rice! Pho was solid. #20 was good - I really liked the flank especially. Family-friendly and great food. Friendly service. read more

I have been going to this Vietnamese establishment for many of years. I went here right before a snowstorm because I was craving some hot, spicy pho. I had the Bun Bo Hue without pigs feet. I felt like they didn't notice when I came in so it took awhile to finally get seated and a menu. They then forgot to give me my hot tea which is usually complimentary. The prices on the menu are pretty decent and a large bowl of pho lasted me like 3 days. In a short time, I was brought a big bowl of pho. It was spicy but not crazy hot. The place ran out of chili oil which was very disappointing. The waiter even forgot to give me my sides for the pho such as bean sprouts and Thai basal. The portion was so good and big I got a to go bag. The place is cash only, so I had to pull money out of the ATM then headed to the front to pay. I think I did make the pho too salty by adding a lot of siracha. read more

This place became an alternative option for my family and I when we traveled here on a road trip. We originally wanted Pho Ga Thanh Thanh but unbeknownst to us; they are closed on Wednesdays now. It's hard to find a place that makes chicken pho just as good as Pho Ga Thanh Thanh and this place just proves it. We ordered a whole chicken along with 3 phos. The chicken is very noticeable smaller and it did not come with the chicken eggs and liver. The broth tasted light and kind of tasteless. The ratio of noodle and broth was not good. Too much broth and not enough noodles. The dipping sauce was really good though. I liked the added touch of ginger. Overall, this place was good but not the best in the Philly area for chicken pho. I think I'll stick to Pho Ga Thanh Thanh for that! read more

Favorite spot to eat piping hot phở in Philly with quick service and brightly lit dining room. (P.S. They've been taking credit card for a few years now, and it's a game changer!) Phở Ha's broth is consistently flavorful, their meat consistently good quality, and they consistently give you plenty of basil, lime wedges, jalapeño slices, and bean sprouts to zhuzh up your bowl (medium and large sizes available: I generally go medium, unless I'm ravenous and we're not getting any appetizers). I also tend to add an order for extra vinegar onions for a minimal fee. The spring rolls are always crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce, the summer rolls and rice noodle bowls are always well received by my gluten-free friends and family. read more

Pho Ha - Medium, rare steak phở - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This pho spot has been here a long time, the location is good for similar businesses (check out the asian grocery store next door for a wide and wild selection). Pho Ha changed ownership at one point a decade-ish ago and things have somewhat decreased hence the one point off here, but thats reaching very far back in time. However sometimes it feels a bit dingy but thats fast casual for you. In present day the pho is cheap and flavorful and everything you've heard about it being a hangover cure is true- trust me, I lived down the block and many weekends could be found in there. Don't avoid the fatty meat options either, it blends with it perfectly, but thats the same for most any other pho spot. But why this place? Its got a parking lot, and is fast. If you're local to the area, make it your new staple. read more

It seems like you can't go wrong with any of the Vietnamese restaurants on Washington Ave, but I was happy to see that the Pho Ha menu contained other options besides Pho. While there are many many different Pho options on the menu (that all look more or less the same!), the restaurant also has vermicelli, broken rice, and non-Pho noodle soup options. The food was good, came quickly, and the service was good. Highly recommended! read more

Still the best pho in Philly. I've been coming here for over 2 decades and it's still as good as ever. A must try stop if you are in South Philly. Get the classic deluxe pho and a grilled pork chop rice platter with the egg quiche. read more

Pho Ha - Vietnamese Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This pho place is our staple in the neighborhood! Although sometimes their pho broth can be insanely salty or too oily, there are plenty of good days where it's perfect. Love that they're also very kid-friendly and will often offer a small straw cup of water, scissors to cut the noodles, fork and spoon. You can also order a small bowl or broth and noodles for your kiddo if they don't like all the meat and other herbs that's usually in pho. Simple and easy restaurant that has it all and of course... it's nice to just be able to walk to cafes nearby to finish off your lunch or dinner. read more

Solid bowl of pho! Quick service, perfect for a rainy day. The medium bowls were huge and the restaurant is generous with the meat portions! I couldn't finish the medium but thankfully my husband finished his and also mine for me ha! They also give a lot of bean sprouts. Great place to go for beef pho: read more

I was reflecting on my 2012 review of Pho Ha while enjoying a bowl today and while I realized little had changes, it was still worth a refresh. In a nutshell, their Pho has the same great quality/portions/selection with only slightly increased prices (I mean, it has been 10 years!). Pho Ha is one of my go to places for Pho in Philadelphia. You can order pretty much any combination of Pho you heart would desire. They offer a small bowl, or for less than a dollar, you upgrade to a large (which means you should just upgrade to the large). It is usually promptly brought out to you. Pre-COVID, if I felt at all sick, I'd head to Pho Ha to cure me and it seemed to work magic. Just over $10 still fills you up. They also serve other dishes, which I can honestly not describe since I've never strayed away from their Pho. I have enjoyed a few of their drinks as a nice dessert type treat on the few occasions I'm looking for more to eat. The only change I really noticed over my years of coming to Pho Ha is that they now accept credit card. That gives me even more reason to enjoy a big bowl of Pho. read more

The Banh Mi sandwiches is certainly better than some of the other ones nearby. Pho was rich in flavor and if you pair it with a Banh Mi, don't get a large bowl otherwise you all have some leftovers. The ambience was very basic, but how much can you ask for when all you're going for is the specialized food items. I consider that a good thing when eating at places like this. Service was super quick as soon as we stepped into the restaurant so we were in and out within an hour. read more

Good pho place down in south Philly. I came here like the second time so far. I ordered a custom pho with tendon, fat brisket, and fatty flank. Pho was nice and hot. Broth was delicious. Would come here again. One thing is don't expect high customer service here since they can get quite busy. If you only care about the price and the food, yes this is definitely a good pho place. They do have a sign regarding show proof of vaccinations card taped outside of their entrance door for customers to read. However, they do not check vaccinations card. It clearly is just for display. read more

Came here for Vietnamese food and got the pho chin, bun special, and pho ga tuoi. The bun was terrible. It was such a weird combination that did not go well together at all. The pho bowls were a decent size (we got the large) with a decent amount meat but not that much noodles. The beef and chicken does taste a little different after the beef is cooked in the broth. They have a parking lot but it can be hard to find parking since it is shared with a lot of other restaurants. They also have Bambi and Paris Baguette in the same plaza and a Asian market across the street. Stick with the pho here! read more

The noodle soup is really the highlight here. My friend got the no. 57 bun bo hue, and it didn't disappoint. I, on the other hand, went for my usual dish - rice vermicelli and got the house special (no. 6 bun dac biet). Something was off with that dish that I couldn't finish it. Which was disappointing as I was looking forward to some tasty Vietnamese food while on a work trip away from NYC. The service was average, as expected at this type of establishment. read more

Great pho overall! I asked for a special request for my Bun Bo Hue and they were kind enough to leave a note on my food explaining that they did my request but could not do this again moving forward. I appreciated their transparency and following up with me rather than them not fulfilling my request at all. The spring rolls were great and the broths were very flavorful. The portions of noodles and meats were also very large. Did not get a picture of the pho tai chin before it was eaten but it had a lot of meat! Everything was packaged very well and I will definitely be ordering again! read more

I have really high expectations for pho being born and raised in Vietnam and then literally being a 20 minute drive from little saigon in OC. I wouldn't say this was a great bowl of pho, but for Philly standards, this was decent. Definitely my favorite takeout on ubereats for pho as they are well packaged, portions are huge, and the price is very competitive. My go to bowl is the dac biet as it comes with a little bit of everything!! Definitely a nice takeout meal when the weather is starting to get colder again like it is right now. read more

Me and my friends were doing the Rocky run and meeting up the night before the run. Parking can. be crazy In Philadelphia so having a parking lot is a plus. The restaurant is very spacious, the staff is friendly. And they were able to split our check 3-way efficiently. By the way website says they only take cash but they also take credit card. The food is decent but not better than the ones we have in suburban New Jersey. They are very generous with the portion though. read more

It's been a while since I've been back but this place hit the spot. I got pho tai, beef and shrimp vermicelli, grilled pork summer roll and the regular summer rolls which I didn't order but somehow they decided I needed them in my order too. I wasn't going to complain. And I ate them the next day for lunch . Which isn't the best leftover to eat the next day but eh. They were still good doused in siracha, peanut and fish sauce read more

If you had to get beef pho, I'd come here! It's hard to find good pho nowadays. It might be too expensive at certain places, the broth might be too salty from the MSG, or the noodles might be too soft but here, none of these issues arose! I got the pho dac biet which pretty much has most of the beef options in it and it was FILLING. Plenty of soft yet bouncy noodles, a good amount of beef (though there could be more but hey, I get it), and the soup was savory and not too oily or salty at all! Customer service was also spot on as our waitress attended to all of our needs! I'd show you what it looks like but I actually ate half of the bowl before realizing I should have taken a picture read more

We were in the Pa area and decided on on Pho Ha. My friends ordered the usuals and I tried the Bun Bo Hue. I'm glad that I ordered the Bun instead of the usual. The broth was a homerun. It was savory, sour but not too much, lemon grass and little spicy. My friends tried my soup and they love it as well. The meat was tender to the bite and not chewy, not a large portion given but it is fair amount. The Bun Bo Hue by far is the best compared to couple local Pho places in Manhattan. As I'm writing this I still remember there is a hint of shrimp paste in the soup which I love so much. read more

Great selection and cheap prices. Their soups are where they shine; the bun (vermicelli) are not as good as those of competitors. Nice spacious eating area with lots of tables. Very fast service and great fruit smoothies. Though it's not our favorite Vietnamese restaurant in the area, the speed and price often compel us to go there. read more

Woke up this morning and remembered we now live next to 7 different Vietnamese restauraunts!!! We chose Pho Ha as it was the closest, even though they are feet away from each other. Did not dissappoint!!!!! Super fresh and flavorful broth. Fresh vegetables for the girls vegetarian Pho with Vegetables. Lots of fresh toppings. I got #24, was so good, brisket and steak! I also ordered shrimp and pork summer rolls and the peanut dipping sauce was so good I almost licked the bowl. Fresh tea was complimentary, the girls got a Vietnamese coffee which was nice and strong. Will be back, so excited to try all of them! read more

Philadelphia is a fantastic small, "Big City" or big "Small City" as you'd have it! What gives Philadelphia "Big City" status is the fact it has a pro baseball, basketball, football and hockey team. At least that's my definition! What makes it a small city if the fact it's actually, small; though, the food scene here is big! Today for lunch, this was reaffirmed by this wonderful Vietnamese restaurant - Pho Ha. Their menu looked like a street food kiosk in Hanoi. The Pho's, Hu' Tieu (noodle bowls) and Bun Kho (rice-vermicelli bowls) Com Tam (broken rice bowls) all looked fantastic. I settled on their #8 which was this lovely Vermicelli with grilled pork and two terrific condiments. It was a large $11 lunch. I also ordered Cha Gio spring rolls that were fantastic. This restaurant was The Real Deal. It gives you a lot of quality food for not much money. I loved Pho Ha! read more

We've been getting takeout from Pho Ha for quite some time now. It has become our trusted spot for Pho and especially Bun Bo Hue. The broth for the Bun Bo Hue has just the right amount of spiciness, sourness, and saltiness. I haven't found another place that makes better Bun Bo Hue than them. The restaurant always packs the takeout orders super neatly and their portions are very generous. I just wish they would be more consistent about the fishcake in the Bun Bo Hue. Some days it comes with fishcake, but other days it might not. Please give me my fishcake! read more

Been eating regularly at this spot for over a decade, and it is still one of my favorite bowls of pho in the city! You get a lot of food for the price and it is packed with flavor. I recommend the Pho Dac Biet (the special) which includes every cut of beef besides the beef ball. There is plenty of sitting room in the restaurant and a free parking lot, but it fills up quickly on weekends, particularly Sundays around noon. Any other day time though, you'll easily find a quickly and get your food served to you even more quickly! Highly recommend! read more

Ever since new ownership, I've been going here. I really like the pho. It's fragrance, flavorful broth and is one of the best in the city. I haven't tried other dishes so can't say. Mainly come here for Pho. I also recommend Pho Cyclo on Broad Street and Pho Cafe Anh Hong in Upper Darby by the Hmart. P.S. They make great durian smoothies if you're into that. Normally, places make them watery. read more

Recently I have been obsessed with rice and chicken after I tried broken rice in San Diego, so I have been on the search for a replacement dish. I'm glad I found this place because their chicken and rice dish satisfied my craving. It wasn't as great as the dish from San Diego though, but it still did the job. I loved how they grilled their chicken. It was flavorful and it added a nice smoky taste to the chicken. It came with a side of spring rolls and the fish sauce was perfect with the dish. I liked this place and I would recommend it if you are craving a rice dish. read more
