    Great spot for PHO I also had the extra crispy rolls and they were so good. The pho was delicious, the broth alone was amazing and was full of flavor. The staff super friendly and there is lots of parking and seats available. Restaurant was clean but I didn't see the bathrooms. They accept all major credit cards. The one thing that was just ok was the Thai tea. Everything else was full of flavor and tasted great. I felt that the tea was missing something and tasted more milky than anything. Definitely a place to try. The prices are also very good for the amount of food you get.

    Pho is one of my favorite dishes. I love every little bit of Vietnamese cuisine that I have tried over many years, with the best being homemade, but having access to homemade meals like that isn't a constant reality for me unfortunately. It also helps that pho is one of the most savory and customizable meals that I have had, and consistently at that. I have had pho from all over the Philadelphia area and obviously have my favorite locations and also get mine with everything in it, tripe and tendon being the highlights when I can find them. The most traditional and, in my opinion, best spots will always have these as ingredient selections. I have been to Pho Philly twice now. Once to sit down with my friend Collin and another time to bring soup home for dinner for one evening when everyone couldn't decide on one place to order from, so I simply went and got what I wanted. In Delco, there is a lack of good Vietnamese. This IS changing, albeit slowly, and Pho Philly is close to home and is good enough. It's not what I would call spectacular and it is by no means bad in any way. Their broth is delicious and the noodles are long, and have just enough chew to them. Ingredients are very fresh and everything comes out fairly quickly and piping hot. Taking it home wasn't as great, but that's to be expected when taking a meal home that really should be eaten at the establishment. All in all, Pho Philly is a great place that is nearby for when I really want pho. They don't have tripe which is a let down, but will never keep me from ordering there. Their broth is tasty and seems to be made daily and the staff is nice and attentive in a neat space that looks like it was once an old diner. Give them a try if you're in Tinicum, and I will be coming here I'm sure for years as long as they're still here!

    Great parking. Food is good and they have some very good smoothies. Was told about this place by friends. Would like to see more extensive menu but so far pho and rice dishes, smoothies and Che is really good. I'll be back

    Stopped by here on my way to the airport. I'm from the Bay Area, CA so I have good pho where I'm from like in San Jose. I came here with no expectations and this place is legit. The pho was solid and broth had the right notes. Generous with the bamboo shoots, jalapeno, and limes, which I appreciated. When everybody in the restaurant, patrons and staff, are Vietnamese you know this place is immigrant approved. Definitely coming back.

    On my way to Alaska for my 2nd annual fishing trip there, staying at a La Quinta park/sleep/fly, luckily just down Rt. 291 in Ridley Park(suburb of Philly) so I could eat here at Pho Philly again this year. Just a 10 minute walk away. As last year, it was simple but complex, incredible depth of flavor. Delicious protein, crisp and fresh veggies, perfectly done vermicelli noodles, scrumptious sauce and perfect chili heat. My belly is very happy. I'll do this trip every year until I can't, and will always look forward to eating here. If it wasn't 2 hours away I would be here every week. Very fast service, reasonably priced, everyone is attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend. (The Pho bowls are huge and look great!)

    Fast service and delicious generous portions! Shout out to our waiter, Hao, for making us feel welcomed. Only complaint is that they don't have beef tripe. Would definitely be back :)! 4% credit card transactions fee Includes an included parking lot.

    We just landed in Philly and left the airport. It was lunch time and so my husband wanted pho. This place got 4.7/5 stars on Google search and it was the closest to where we headed so we came here. Super friendly and accommodating staff. They have moon cakes made locally for sale which was cool. They also have various Vietnamese candied fruits available for sale as well. Not a lot of desserts available. They had spicy beef noodles soup, cream noodles soup and another type of noodles soup as their special for the day. My husband and oldest daughter shared a large rare beef pho. I shared the spicy beef noodles soup with my youngest daughter. The pho must have been good because my oldest said that was the best pho in the world she's had. The spicy beef noodles soup was flavorful and allowed for added spiciness if needed for individual preferences. The restaurant dining sounds was clean and service was nice. The place is decorated nicely with Vietnamese theme lamp shades and artwork on the walls. Reasonable pricing and portions. If we are near Philly airport again, we will definitely come back.

    Summer tofu rolls, white meat chicken pho, and great service! Love the location- easy to get to- and the parking is convenient and free. The chicken meat is real breast meat- fresh, and not frozen. If you have ever had that bagged white meat you know what I mean. I got us small bowls, which were ample in portion size. There's hoisin, oyster, and Maggi sauces at the table as well. The boys watched their 60" tv- there was a soccer game on- and enjoyed their bowls. This is the perfect antidote to allergies- both my boys left with clear nostrils and full tummies. I'm a huge pho fan- so given the location, price, and quality- we will be here often, especially as the weather turns cold. Glad I stopped in!

    Amazing local DELCO Thai food spot.

They have good Pad Thai and Thai iced tea as well! The green curry is just my favorite. Great customer service too, which I experienced especially today. I was wrongly charged $115 instead of $17 for my meal and didn't notice, they called me shortly after to fix the mistake. Honest people, which I respect! Try it out sometime if you enjoy Thai food.

It was the only one with wide noodles. Sooooo good. My friends enjoyed their food too. One got crab & shrimp fried rice, the other got the dish w the cellophane noodles and mushrooms. All the dishes had enough to take home for a second meal. It is all made from scratch and to your desired temperature, regarding spice. The actual restaurant is...quaint. it's small and clean. I don't think it would hold more than 30 ppl. The bathroom is a single and the door didn't lock for me. I just peed and prayed. Lol. Service was OK. Considering we were the only ones in the restaurant, the server seemed like he didn't want to be bothered. Food came out quickly tho. The lemon marscapone cake looked delicious, so I got one to go. Since then, I've been too many times. Food is consistently fresh, quick and delicious! Service is always mid. Try the Thai tea and mango rice... oh and the basil rice. Listen, I could go on, everything is good.

When I first stopped in here it was in a whim, and although they do have a selection of whimsical, sweet, dare I say, ridiculous and sweet coffee beverages, they were able to make me a traditional Italian macchiato. I had been unable to find a good, even passable REAL macchiato anywhere, and they delivered in spectacular fashion. Not only was the drink silky, strong, and small, it was made with outstanding Italian roasted espresso that has a different character than the standard, heavier-roasted American palate has come to be used to. This alone would have been enough for me to return time and time again when I was in the area, but after getting breakfast sandwich on a whim, this instantly became a weekly stop; more than that, a destination. Fast forward a few years and the initial attraction of coffee, sandwich, and friendly staff has transformed into a beautiful relationship where I can easily walk in, everyone knows me before I am all the way through the door, and even knowing my idiosyncrasies, are still excited to see me and listen to me prattle on about whatever might be the story of the day. The time spent here has given me the opportunity to try nearly everything on the menu and try every drink available. Including all the dry goods, pasta for sale, frozen trays of delicious Italian staples, and more. I am not one to just stick to the things I know I enjoy as I am always on a journey for something interesting and exciting, so whenever something shows up I am getting that rather than something in my "comfort zone". This has led to me traditionally losing interest or finding that the quality of a place declines for myself over time, especially multiple years. Not the case here at Napoletano, it has only done the exact opposite and gotten much more rewarding and somehow even more delicious and embracing of people and everyone who comes through the door. This brings me to my most recent food adventures into the menu here, the newest additions for the most part, the added amazing hoagie list. I have had two. The first I tried was the Gondolier, which I was enamored with for weeks. I had been there too early to order lunch time and time again, and then FINALLY, one day it was about time for lunch to be available and Michelle, the wonderful woman running the front of house and so much more, was able to get me this sandwich just a bit early. It had it all....outstanding bread, roasted red peppers, seriously premium meats, both standard deli and cured. However, something just missed the mark for me. I couldn't believe it. I don't know what and I don't know why. I was immediately disappointed, likely because I had hyped this up in my head for so long and I have come to expect so much from Napoletano, I simply couldn't believe that this wasn't the best hoagie I had ever enjoyed. That fact has eaten at me for at least a month now, but today that all changed, and is possibly why I finally found my voice to put all my thoughts together an write this after so many years. During my visit to say hello today, I realized it was once again right around the time where I could order sandwiches. I toyed with the thought of the cutlet sandwiches or even the Cuban which is amazing, but after going around and around and around talking to everyone working about this and that, I finally decided on another hoagie; the Sicilian. Kris, another of my favorite people along with Fanny (who was on vacation) helped me inch toward this one based on my description of my whole previous experience, and tbh is sandwich is so interestingly unique. Topped with lemon and orange zest, it doesn't sound like it would work, but once you take your first bite, you begin to examine your entire existence. Why have you never had a specialty Italian hoagie topped with citrus zest??? The question has been running through my head all day since lunch, and I still cannot understand why I haven't been enjoying something like this my entire life. So many years lost of amazing sandwich experiences.....this sandwich was so divine, despite looking slightly barren and strange, that it blew apart my entire disappointment I had been holding since the gondolier. I will absolutely try the other four in the list. I would have anyway, but this definitely took that mission off of life support and put it front and center. There are so many reasons to go to Napoletano. I could spend another thirty paragraphs writing about what is great about this place, the people, the drinks, the space, all of it. But instead of doing that, you should just go here. Even if you're not close, and enjoy!
