Every time I visit Philly, the Viet food scene surprises me for the better! I love com tam--a 7 meat com tam changed my life. Honestly. Huge serving size too. I'm a slow eater but I was eating it for 30+ minutes. Also ordered a banh mi--it was not bad! Not my favorite in Philly but maybe the rice just outshined it. I was surprised at how long the food came out actually. Yes the menu is large but the last thing that came out was the sandwich, believe it or not. But not long enough to keep me away. read more

Pho is phenomenal here !! The broth has such depth and the bones add great umami. I always get the special pho with everything. My favorite is the beef bone they give you with super tender meat. FYI for those not familiar : it's perfectly normal for your pho to come with raw beef in takeout orders. You will have to boil the broth and cook the meat. This is to keep it tender. If they precook it, the texture of eye of round beef will get tougher if not eaten immediately. Same deal for the noodles. If you want the best texture, ask them for raw noodles when you takeout. This way, it won't be already boiled and a bit more soggy during transport. Pro tip : cook your noodles and meat in a pot with just boiling water. This way, you're not using the broth to cook and mess up the taste and texture of the broth. Great service, very fast and efficient. Staff are all proficient in English. This might sound trivial, but they got large thick napkins. It adds to the experience. I hate those quick casual eateries that has the 1 ply napkins that rip as you pull it out of the box. When you know you've made it to their inner circle : They whip out the CAROUSEL OF CHILLIES. A caddy of 3-4 super hot peppers. Habaneros, jalapeños, Thai red chillies, etc. If they automatically bring it out for you, it possibly can mean : You look worldly and travel a lot to develop a taste for heat. They can sense your crayyy energy. Congrats ! read more

My family and I always see this place but it never really caught our eyes because the front of it is so dark. BUT we decided to give it a try since we always walk past by it and we're always looking for a place we haven't been to for pho yet. 10/10 pho is definitely authentic and I love how they have all the condiments on the table which some places don't! This place is definitely a hidden gem! Would definitely love to come back and try other dishes... read more

This is the 11th Pho Spot we've tried in South Jersey. I like that the Pho broth was not sweet but it was a little bland. I love that they provided all the authentic condiments but they didn't offer fresh herbs like Thai basil or culantro. We ordered #38 - I think it was $14 We also ordered fresh pork and shrimp summer rolls. They were ok. Again, missing fresh herbs and cucumbers. The peanut dipping sauce was good. The best part of our meal was the Vietnamese iced coffee. It was delicious The ambiance is typical of any pho spots so don't expect out of this world decor or furniture. Although they should replace some chairs bc the one next to mines was disgusting. Service was fine. They were nice and attentive. read more

This authentic Vietnamese kitchen in the Saigon Plaza on Rt. 38, Pennsauken, was one of the first southeast Asian restaurants in the area, and carries its excellent reputation to the present day. The somewhat aging dining room is filled mostly with Asian customers who know where the delicious cuisine is, and where to find the best prices which are several bucks less across the board than other VN newer comers around the Heavy Chill (Cherry Hill) region. They also do Thai and Chinese dishes to keep everyone happy. As I was in the mood for a load of hot spicy fat noodles, their Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) with chicken and Wonton Soup made me a contented man. Plenty of shrimp in goldfish wonton and greens in the steaming bowl. Large chunks of boiled beef from the simmer pot also swimming in the hot tub for gnarly handiwork The Pad was a full plate with green and red pepper, onion, tomato, sprouts and tender grilled chicken. I added more chili crisp sauce to spread the heat to my liking. Home run once I started to sweat. Saigon Plaza is in need of a gentle makeover after its decades of success, but the work coming from Thai Son's kitchen is as good as it ever was. read more

We stopped by here for lunch since it was next to a grocery store we went to. The servers here were really nice and provided recommendations. We ordered the special pho (Pho Dac Biet), beef stew with noodles (Hu Tieu Hoac Mi Bo Kho) and a broken rice plate (Com Tam Suon Dac Biet). The pho broth had a nice depth of flavor and a good amount of meat in it. The noodles were good too. The beef stew was good too, mix of tendon and beef and a good amount of egg noodles mixed in. The broken rice plate came with a pork chop, veggies, fried egg, meatloaf and Vietnamese pork ear rind. It was yummy as well. Overall, good Vietnamese food at this restaurant. read more

I've eaten here with my family quite a few times when visiting my god brother (he owns the Sun Seng Supermarket next door). I love Vietnamese food and this place is actually pretty good. It's very spacious with private dining rooms in the back (where we always sat). The service is excellent, friendly & attentive staff and food comes out quick. They have an extensive menu with plenty of traditional, authentic Vietnamese dishes, pho/ noodle/ rice options and beverages to choose from as well as some Thai dishes. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. I like their summer roll, beef chow fun, vermicelli with grilled pork & spring roll and Vietnamese iced coffee. My family always gets the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup), pho dac biet (pho with 5 kinds of beef), grilled pork chop rice and the Vietnamese appetizers (rolls, sugarcane shrimp, wings). Everything is tasty and flavorful. Fyi: their English isn't that great, so I would tell them the number + name of the dish when ordering to avoid misunderstandings, which had happened to me a few times before. All in all, Thai Son is definitely worth trying out if you're in the area. read more

Bon Bo hue was below average. Bitter. Go to pho viet or saigon spice in Cherry Hill instead. I will give them credit they were nice and took it off my bill with no issues. The fried rice lacked flavor too. read more

I ordered the pho tai here, and it was okay. Got the job done, but the broth was not particularly outstanding. The portion is reasonable, and the price is the new normal. The menu is extensive, and I was really excited to see ca kho (braised, caramelized catfish). It's sooooo rare to see this on menus!!!! Next time I come here, I'd love to try the ca kho with canh cua (obvious pairing). Also, I saw the latter dish has good reviews at this restaurant too. The restaurant had a good amount of occupied tables for a Friday night, half Vietnamese and the other half not. I am rating this place lower than I'd like because the table was sticky, and walking in, it smelled super bad. Like dirty water. I was actually pretty grossed out. But I really wanted pho lol. read more

It's soup season baby! Are you even doing pho right if you aren't at some point sweating with at least 1 tear down your eye? Shout out to Thai Son for being my go-to pho spot. I love the addition of the spicy peppers carousel. I apologize for emptying the cannister of habaneros! Pictured is the #34 Pho Tai Chin, sliced eye round and brisket. Big ol' bowl of pho for $12.99 before tax and tip. read more

Awesome place - stopped by with co-worker for late lunch and we were promptly served two piping hot bowls of delicious pho. Their spring rolls were slightly pedestrian, but nothing that couldn't be fixed with their peanut sauce. :) We left the place steaming from all the Big Pho Energy. (I mean, we literally were steaming when we went outside from the heat generated by the food in our bodies I guess?) Place is spacious, no-frills, with local Asians dining in there... it's legit, just take my word for it. What a great find - easily comparable to some of the best local spots in Philadelphia Vietnamese community! read more

If you want a true Vietnamese restaurant and experience this is it! I only tried takeout and it was good! They're very well known for their salted coffee. A bit too strong for me but my family loves it. The com suon dac biet was very good. The pho broth was amazing. Can't wait to try it in person one day! read more

Came here with a big party on New Year's day. We called ahead for a party of 20. We did viet family style and the one thing that really stood out to me was the canh chua. Usually every viet place makes it TOO sweet, but here it was perfect! The bo luc lac was really good as well. The food came out good! read more

The food is a 10/10 Broken rice platters are delicious the chicken, short rib and shrimp are well seasoned and tender. We always come here for Vietnamese food.

This place hits the spot! The chili paste sauce must be home made. That stuff is so good. The broth here is rich and delicious. Noodle and meat portions were plentiful.

Affordable and good! Super quick service. I used to eat here at least three times per week with my college friends. I love their pork over broken rice with the quiche. Their summer rolls are super stuffed with filling and goes lovely with the peanut sauce. Pho here is your typical average pho. I like their BBH bec it isn't overly spicy (I cannot handle spice). When you order Vermicelli with chicken or pork, they give large pieces of meat! Can't beat the prices here. Typically my meals are about $8-10. Service isn't the best, but you get your food super fast. And if you order drinks, it usually takes a long time to get to your table. I wish they served viet hoagies here, but unfortunately they do not. read more

Located in a Vietnamese strip shopping area, is this Vietnamese restaurant. Upon entering, our family were greeted by a friendly staff and seated our family of 7 in the back room. The casual family dining brings comfort as it reminds me of my home, everyone is just eating and chatting away. The place was packed for lunch but I must say they tried to sit people few feet away for social distancing. Staff was masked. Our waiter was pretty cool. He took our order, came back with our drinks and considering how packed it was, the food came out pretty quick. I had the broken rice and sliced pork and pork patty. It was pretty good. My family were pretty happy with their meal and everyone is full. Overall, we came hungry and left happily satisfied. We will be back. read more

I'm losing faith in workplace etiquette and decent customer service. So I come to Thai Son for a late lunch today, mainly because it's one of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. There was nothing wrong with the food. It tasted great as usual.... Every once in a while, I'll come across the wait staff at a restaurant that will take it upon theirselves to decide what you will and will not like within what you ordered. Today, something (ingredients) was missing from my dish. No problem. I called the waiter over, told him what was missing, and off he goes to get it for me with his eyes rolling. He brings it to my table, then walks over to the terminal and starts tapping... I immediately knew that he was up charging me. I continued to enjoy my meal, and waited for the check to come to the table... And there was the up charge, typed in as a totally different side order... I didn't bother to get upset or address it with anyone. I simply subtracted the side order from his tip! I was having too good of a day to let this upset me. But I doubt that I'll be entering this establishment again. read more

I went here after going to the orchestra in Philly for dinner with my family. I pass this place a lot and always wanted to order takeout from there but this particular time I wanted some place I could sit down and eat with my family. From the outside you think it's a pure takeout place so I had my son go in first to see if you could dine in. He came out and said it looks better inside, so we went in. They sat us at a big table in the back being it was 5 of us. The menu is not your average Thai menu, I only recognized a few dishes so it took me a while to order. I played it safe at first and ordered shrimp fried rice but then changed it to Pho after my son ordered it. I don't know how I missed it on the menu. Long story short everyone really enjoyed what they ordered except my daughter who ordered fried chicken fried rice. The rice was greasy and tasted like the chicken that came with it. Look at what we ordered. I will be back. I found my Pho spot read more

Thai Son is pretty average pho. But pretty average pho is delicious, as was the pho here. Broth was flavorful and all the delicious little mix ins made it next level delicious. Apps left a little to be desired. We ordered shrimp wrapped in sugarcane and what we got looked like tofu slivers. I was imagining actual discernible shrimp but that didn't happen. Just slivers of a tofu like consistency. Please examine my photo and judge for yourself. More beverage choices would be nice. For soda they only have Diet Coke and Fanta. What a weird two things to decide on. Service left much to be desired too but for these places as long as the food is decent and inexpensive my expectations are checked. So yeah I'll be back the next time I crave pho which happens roughly every three years. read more

Had a craving for the wrap-your-own rolls ... but wasn't sure about dining there with COVID and all. So, we decided to get take out to wrap at home by ordering the papaya salad with shrimp and pork, along with 2 orders of the fine vermicelli ... one with shrimp on sugar cane and the other beef grape leaves. Super healthy and the food was very fresh. Not sure how well I did with the wrapping (it's harder than it looks) ... but soooooo good that I want to eat it every day! read more

I been coming here ever since my BF and I started dating also this is a restaurant run by his uncle. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and great for a party of any kind. I've even seen a wedding banquet being held in their back room and also they have karaoke rooms. A few of my favorite menu items I've tried here is: Spring Rolls - it's definitely different from the ones I've eaten in New York. It's not overly fried. These taste a lot better and fresher. Grilled Pork, Shredded Pork, Crabmeat Egg & Fried Egg - this is definitely a mixture of different works! This is definitely a great dish to get if you're super starving. Hu Tieu My Tho (My Tho Style Clear Noodle Soup) - this is probably one of my favorite noodle soups I've had here. The broth is clear, homey and tasty. It's rice noodles, pork, shrimp, and cilantro. Che Ba Mau (Rainbow Ice) - this is more of a dessert then an actual beverage. It's extremely sweet & creamy if you mix it up right. Pho - their broth is clear, beefy, and delicious! Their pho tastes homey and delicious. Bo Luc Lac - they serve it on a sizzling platter (VERY different from New York's version) and the beef cubes are perfectly tender, tasty, and packed with flavor. The staff here are always hooking us up with bigger portions, complimentary soup and etc. They are super welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend anyone to visit this Thai Son, definitely my favorite Viet restaurant now! read more

After looking for a place that had pad thai we settled on Thai Son because the food looked the best out of our options. Totally wasn't disappointed and it was actually really good. The portions were also great for the price and the flavors were amazing. We got summer rolls with grilled pork, summer rolls with shrimp and pork, an two orders of pad thai, one with seafood and one with chicken. Everything was fresh and the pad thai hit all of the flavor notes perfectly. Some places don't get the combination of salty, sour and spicy right but the seasoning in these dishes was spot on. The noodles were also perfectly cooked. Again the portion was huge so you definately won't be left hungry. If I had to give any negative feedback the filling in the summer rolls was mostly lettuce. Other vietnamese restaurants I've eaten at have been more generous with the meat and noodles. The inside is also very beautiful. I had to stay at the counter since it was for pickup, but I cant wait until covid blows over to comfortably eat indoors. read more
