Everything was fresh, abundant, and absolutely delicious. The banh mi was loaded with pork and crisp vegetables, packed with flavor on a perfectly fresh roll. The short ribs were equally impressive...meaty, tender, and not the all-bone disappointment you sometimes get elsewhere (and for less money, too). Rich, deep flavor that had us wishing we'd ordered more. We're already looking forward to trying the summer rolls and pho next time!

My friends and I (with our kids) came here late Saturday afternoon. This place was packed which is…read morealways a good sign! They were able to accommodate our party of 6. I love how there were many options to choose from for vegan and vegetarians (for my friends). The menu had pho, broken rice platters, vermicelli bowls, Bahn mi sandwiches and a selection of drinks. I went with the BBQ sliced pork vermicelli bowl and a Vietnamese Ice coffee. My friends got a variety of vermicelli bowls, combination pho and curry chicken platter. The Viet coffee was perfection! Great coffee flavor and the perfect kick to the afternoon. The food took about 10-15 mins to come out. My BBQ pork was so flavorful and tender. It came with a fish sauce to dress up the mix of vermicelli noodles and veggies. I gave a portion to my daughter and she loved it too! (toddler friendly). The staff was very attentive with filling up our water glasses and getting whatever we need. The staff loved our kids and gave them freebies (my daughter got two free pieces of bbq shrimp! a flower, paper to draw on and a candy bar haha). I felt the staff really made us feel like home :) Great experience with good food! I would def. come back and maybe try other menu items next time.

The restaurant is located in what looks like a typical Philly row home, with plastic dishware and kitschy decor. Not only did the restaurant feel down to Earth, but so were the prices. The dumplings in particular were super cheap and shockingly good, and the beef skewers were nice and tender. The size of the lemongrass vermicelli was on the smaller side and the dish didn't particularly stand out, but it was still good! I'm definitely looking forward to coming back here, whether for a full planned meal or an impulse takeout dumpling stop.

I also ordered the vietnamese coffee. The coffee was served in a styrofoam cup with no drip on top. Already a bad sign. It definitely tastes like powdered instant coffee which is kinda nuts to serve for $6 a cup.... The service and ambiance were both nothing to write home about. Overall, I wouldn't stop back even if I was charging my car and starving.

Having been around for over 30 years, it's clear their approach to making good food hasn't changed. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The decor is definitely showing its age, but the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The artwork feels vintage and adds to the character of the space. Service - We had a chance to chat with the owner's son while we were eating, and they were very friendly and welcoming.

The pho wasn't terrible, but it had no depth or real flavor. It didn't hit the way good pho is supposed to, and the portion was small--barely any noodles, which made it even worse. The service didn't help either. It felt inattentive and unwelcoming, like we were more of a bother than actual customers. I also ordered the salt and pepper shrimp, and that was probably the biggest disappointment. It was completely bland--no seasoning, no salt, no pepper, just fried shrimp with batter. It didn't match what was advertised at all. Overall, I left wishing I had just gone to Pho 75.

In retrospect going with the pho is probably the way to go but it was a hot summer night and pho wasn't in the cards. I tried a bun beef dish which came with spring rolls. The rice vermicelli noodles were cooked well but lacked flavor, even with the beef. The beef lacked the grill/bbq flavor I come to expect of this dish. The spring rolls were some of the best I've had. I do wish the dish had more flavor or accoutrements but I enjoyed my dinner and it all tasted fresh. Service was friendly and quick.

We ordered their QT special which comes with bbq pork, Vietnamese ham (steamed pork roll) and meat (Vietnamese head cheese). The bbq pork I assumed would be char siu which to my delight, it wasn't. It's difficult to describe, but it's a pork roll with fat. Almost like a Vietnamese mortadella. Alongside, it's served with homemade butter (mayo) and the most amazing and unique pate. The pate isn't your typically stuff that comes from a can. This was excellent. Topped with pickled carrots, cucumber and jalapeno. A young half Cambodian and Vietnamese girl worked the counter and ended up making our sandwiches. She was friendly and I could never imagine such a tiny place offering such a fantastic banh mi. Not much atmosphere, but incredible sandwiches.

Friendly and fast service so I really wanted to like their food, but I struggled to chew the bahn mi's bread and was disappointed at the portions of their rice platter. --- The interior of QT Vietnamese Sandwich has two very tiny tables which each seats two, with a TV. The solo employee was friendly and I appreciated her taking our 4 sandwich and 1 rice platter order 40 minutes from closing. It took about 15 minutes from ordering to receive our order, which was pretty fast! I ordered the lemongrass tofu bahn mi and lemongrass beef rice platter: -Tofu bahn mi: The bread was so unpleasant and hard to chew. It was sooo tough and chewy. I had to take a break after eating half to give my jaw a break. Really unpleasant and unfortunate since the filling was pretty good. I would not reorder this. -Lemongrass beef rice platter: There were only two 3"x1.5" pieces of beef with a small side of rice and fish sauce. No veggies. I honestly forgot to take a picture because I was so sad when I opened the platter. I would not reorder this. Overall, maybe I had a dud experience due to such a large order being placed close to closing, but I was disappointed with the food. Next time, I'll be coming earlier in the day to see if it makes any difference.
