    At first glance, Vietnam Café appears to be vegan-friendly, with options like Crispy Veggie Spring…read moreRolls and Tofu Vermicelli. However, closer questioning reveals an issue: their shared fryer. Because tofu and spring rolls are fried in the same oil as meat or seafood, cross-contamination is a major concern. The staff was incredibly patient in helping me look through the menu and identified two dishes they could safely veganize: the papaya salad and steamed bok choy. If you are comfortable with cross-contamination, there are more options available, but be sure to leave out the fish sauce. For what it's worth, Vietnam Café is widely regarded as one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Philly, and the interior and ambiance certainly match its reputation. Just be prepared to be selective with your order.

    Good food here, fairly standard Vietnamese fare, but I believe pricier than I'm used to for this…read moretype of food. That said, the space is really nice, and service was on point. In fact, this might be the fanciest-looking Vietnamese restaurant I've seen - certainly the first one I recall ever seeing that has a bar! Went to lunch with a few friends here, and everything about the meal was good - server was attentive, food came out fairly quickly and was good quality. Admittedly, I can't recall much about what I got or specifics about the food, but overall good experience.

    I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Knocked it out of the park in every aspect…read more First, the cafe is super cute with Ethiopian music playing & lovely decor. It's spacious with two floors of seating and easy take out as well. The service is excellent. Sid is so friendly and wonderful. I was the only person in the restaurant for a brief period in between other guests leaving and coming, and we chatted about Ethiopia's history & travel, as I'm dying to go there. Above all, the food was fantastic. I got the Village Scramble, spiced eggs with veggies in injera. Wow wow wow! Their injera is delicious and the heat level was great (not ridiculously spicy, but a good kick). I also got their Shai Tea, similar to a chai but spiced slightly differently. It was delicious and now I know I can just come for a takeout chai latte here too. Can't wait to come back!

    This place is a disgrace to Ethiopian food. Super small portions of food for the high price…read more Although the Doro Wot was delicous, it was smallest chicken I have ever seen and they gave only two pieces and one boiled egg. The meat combo plate (Siga Wot and Siga Alicha w/ two veggie sides) was very underwhelming. The meat portions were tiny and barely flavorful. The veggies were just ok. We did have an order of chicken and beef samosas. Those were good. Sad that the appetizers at a restaurant tastes much better than the entrees. The customer service needs lots of work as well. Although this place is BYOB, our server wouldn't bring us cups until we ordered food. I guess she did us a favor by providing us with cups of water first. Our server brought our food out and we never saw her again. No other staff member checked on us either to see if we needed anything (and a few of them passed us as they were in and out of the restaurant). I was irritated and we were ready to leave. I went inside to pay the bill since no one came back to our table outside. Like we literally could have gotten up and went to our car and left. That's how ignored we felt. We did notice how the staff were being very attentive to other patrons inside the restaurant (Ethiopian as well and possibly family and/or friends). An Ethiopian guy (seemingly the owner or manager) was behind the counter and I told him I wanted to pay the bill. He had the nerve to ask how was everything. I said it was ok. I paid in cash and didn't leave a tip. That'll be the last time I go to this place as I do not recommend it whatsoever. I'm sure there are better Ethiopian spots in the Philly area.
