    BÚN BÒ HUẾ
    Andy R.

    After this location changed ownership, I have been going more often and bringing friends. The food is much better and the service is always great. The owners are very lovely and I always have a good meal here. A few months ago, I was on the fence about trying a new bowl. I typically get Pho Tai, but I wanted to try something different. The owner encouraged me to try BÚN BÒ HUẾ. I am HOOKED and I may have consumed my last bowl of Pho Tai. If you like a little spice in your bowl, this is the one!

    Brisket Pho & Fruit Tea
    Morgan C.

    Excellent food and great service! I have enjoyed just about everything I've ordered. Everything tastes fresh. The portions are somewhat smaller but the food quality itself is excellent. I was unfortunately not a fan of the fruit tea (it was very syrupy rather than fresh fruit or fruit juice), and I was disappointed that the bahn mi's do not come with the typical delicious mayo. I do really wish they had online ordering and/or partnered with one of the delivery services, as it is call in/take out only. But it is probably best for my bank account that they don't!

    Shaken Beef Salad
    Kat J.

    If you are visiting Peddler's Village, this is a great spot to grab lunch or dinner and take a break from the craziness. We tried the shaken beef salad, pho New York Style with pork chop and ube coffee. The beef was seasoned well and perfectly cooked. The pho was fairly good, not amazing, I wish the broth was more flavorful. The Ube iced coffee was absolutely delicious. The space is spacious and service is prompt.

    Oysters
    Qin Z.

    One of the best Vietnamese restaurants I have been to in Philly. They make everything in house and the staff are very nice. The food is amazing you can't go wrong and the serving sizes are abundant. Everything is great! 5/5. So here are some of the must tries. App: Oysters! 5/5 very fresh and flavorful. They are grilled to perfection. Bone Marrow: a must try and taste better and cheaper than those you get at your fancy restaurants. Mains: Meatball Pho!! Homemade meatballs are delicious and flavorful. Out of all the meats this is the one to get and you won't have any regrets. Pork Chop!! Nicely seasoned and cooked to perfection. Without a doubt a solid pick if you are not in a pho eating mood. A great place to eat if you are visiting peddler village.

    Staff was so welcoming. Coconut curry was divine! Coconut Vietnamese coffee was so delicious. Cute ambience!

    Beef pho
    Lisa Z.

    I was a bit skeptical about trying this location since there aren't that many Asian restaurants in the area but happy I was wrong. It is a solid place for authentic Viet food. I got the lemongrass pork and my partner got beef pho. I thought my dish was solid but not the best I've ever had but pretty good, the meat was tender and well season and the pho broth was very good. Service is no frills, but food came out pretty quickly. For the area I think this the best option as the other restaurants tend to be American/Italian.

    Had a jones for Pho and chicken wings, of course as always. The place was in a strip mall. Cute. Borderline romantic. Kinda dark. Fresh flowers. GOTTA love fresh flowers! In the bathroom too! Nice touch! * Sweet Chili Chicken Wings were meh. Boring & coulda made them at home. Boiled then fried naked. Happy they were all flats even though I didn't ask for all flats. The pickled radish & carrots accompanyment...YUMMMM! * House Special Pho - Eye round, brisket, tendon, tripe, & meatball. LOTS of meat which was fantastic but the broth wasn't as unctuous & bodied as I hoped. Nothing a little chili oil couldn't cover up. The bean sprouts were super fresh & crunchy. I love that! Hit the spot but I'd be lying if I said I'll be back. My origjnal server was lovely and sweet. He wasn't loud and he was very patient with me. But the other server who took over told me not to eat too much. I'd be lying again if I said I didn't feel some sorta way.

    Grilled ribeye steak, a bit dry
    Rita L.

    Grilled pork banh mi was really good with a kick of spiciness, beef short rib pho with fall off the bowl meat was yummy and came in a huge bowl, that bone itself was huge. Grilled ribeye steak was a bit dry and skippable, drinks were a bit too sweet for both the fresh coconut juice, thai tea with bubble is skippable. Very friendly staff and would recommend checking it out!

    I took my niece here today as an early birthday outing as she turns 6 tomorrow and loves soup and specifically broth . I try to always take her to new experiences. We got the crispy fried shrimp app (her other favorite food) which was very tasty and the short rib pho to share. It was phenomenal! She INHALED all the broth and most of the beef and noodles and even tried bean sprouts! The service was fantastic, and they even brought a cute candle with strawberry ice cream as a surprise and everyone sang. She was so happy. Thank you for helping us make a special memory!

    At some point inflationary pricing like at Pho Happy Bowls has to be controlled. I found the place attractive, just as it had been in the two prior Asian houses that occupied this space. My Pho Ga (chicken noodle soup) was also decent, if not the richest savor I have had in my life. Yet at $15.95 for a medium bowl of hot steamy, it was at a price point that I would have to be wowed to the max to believe I received fair value for that part of the meal. That, I wasn't. Same for the Banh Mi (grilled pork sandwich). I love an authentic baguette filled with just about anything when it is crusty and loaded with fresh ingredients. Here, while the contents were right (plenty of succulent pork, daikon, pickled carrot, cilantro and Asian mayo), the roll was but a poor facsimile of real French bread. Wrong crust. Wrong texture and taste. It was saved by the reasonable $6.50 price, but could have been exceptional with the right bakery vendor. No complaints at all about the Summer Rolls (shrimp & pork), $7.50. Deliciously assembled and wrapped in fresh chewy rice sheet, with nice peanut dipping sauce. Service was friendly and timely, yet they do have a service charge for the privilege of using a credit card. I guess consumers these days have to take all the risk.

    I knew nothing about BowlFace soups until stumbling onto them on Yelp while looking for a new lunch…read moreoption in town. Their distribution channels are still rather meager, but Organon the health food store on Route 413, Wrightstown, PA, has a selection in their back room frozen foods department. I picked up the Vegetarian Vietnamese Pho and Roasted Butternut Squash to sample a couple of flavors I normally love. Each plastic package was 12 ounces, enough for one meal. Stovetop or microwave for a few minutes and recycle the sleeve container. I slurped the pho today after shoveling the heavy fresh wet white precip that fell from early this morning. While it lacked the rich spicy lemongrass base of long time pot simmered stock found in Pho 75 and other good VN restaurants, and the thick nest of noodles and fresh pinched Thai basil leaves, it was pretty good for what it was - healthy nearly instant soup with only wholesome ingredients. A squirt of Sriracha for an extra kick and it was bowl rim to lips; bottoms up! Who had time for a spoon? BowlFace! I'll be back here after trying the Butternut Squash, but wanted to review the Pho while it was still warming my stomach. Gotta say this is a bit of a homer epistle, as I am very happy that Newtown's entrepreneurial spirit is thriving even in the Age of Covid.

    I am a huge fan of BowlFace! The soups are fresh... they don't use preservatives and the…read moreingredients are locally sourced. Everything I've eaten so far is so flavorful! My favorite soups are the Thai Butternut and the Vietnamese Vegetable Pho. The Thai Butternut warms you up on a cold day with the ginger. The Pho is full of mushrooms and herbs. I wish they were available all year around. The good thing about the packaging is that it freezes well! So I recommend stocking up on your seasonal favorites. Besides soup, they offer dips and macaroni and cheese. And most recently they have added salad dressing. So far I have only tried the Pickle Sriracha Dip but I have the Buffalo Cauliflower Dip in my fridge. The Pickle Dip was amazing, I can't wait to grab some more next time I'm at Organnons. If you like pickles, you'll love the Dip! I'm looking forward to Summer and trying more soups! You can check their website to see where you can buy locally. They are usually a vendor on Saturdays at the Wrightstown Farmer's Market. You can also find them at Organnons, Tanner's and I see them occasionally at GI Juice in Buckingham.

    We came here for lunch after morning pickleball games. Our Vietnamese friend bragged about this…read moreplace and highly recommended it. My wife and I ordered two typical options pho and Banh mi. She chose MamaMi Special Pho (with the combo of flanks, brisket, tendon, and meat ball. I was not good. The beef was sliced too think, the tendon was not fully cooked and felt like chewing rubber. The soup base was not rich in flavor just salty. Although my Banh mi plate was actually pretty good with all the ingredients cooked on a sizzling skillet when they served it. You wrap your own hoagie with the toasted baguette.

The three of us ordered a lot of different food and tried many things - it all came out fresh and hot. My steamed shrimp pho soup was extraordinary in flavor depth. I added a side of bok choi and broccoli. A side plate of sprouts, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime came with it. We also tried a variety of appetizers (see photos). Another stand out was the Vietnamese "hoagie" - what a nice surprise. For an Asian cuisine restaurant, the roll was amazing! The place is small and busy with take out so the door opened and closed a lot. It was a little chilly inside because of this. No big deal. The staff were friendly and the service adequate. We will be going back to see what else MamaMi has to offer - would recommend!
