The food was amazing and very flavorful I tried the Fresh Chicken Pho and it was one of the best things I tried in Vietnamese culture and I have many more stuff to try that I just can't wait! The service was spectacular and the presentation of the food was on point when it came to the table. This place was wonderful! It feels so inviting and warm and it's so clean and I highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So happy to have found a place that not only serves phá lấu but it tastes good! But other than that, everything else is normal. Bánh tráng trộn tastes fine but it lacks toppings. Bún chả is standard. Bánh mì chảo suppose to be hot but this is like room temp so it just makes everything in that dish not good, kinda disappointed. Bột chiên is okay, and they do have green papaya; I think the mixed soy sauce could be a little better but good enough. Bún thịt nướng pricing is affordable given huge portion. The noodle is a bit too dry but the meat is quite good, has a clear smoky flavor. Friendly staff. I dont know why they close quite early, so it's just hard to come here to grab food

Located in the heart of Kensington, this restaurant was super quaint, clean, and honestly adorable inside. The staff was really sweet and accommodating the entire time. I got bunbohue…I wasn’t completely blown away by what I ordered, but it was still good enough that I finished it without an issue. The real test for me is always the pho, and I didn’t get a chance to try it this visit, but I definitely will next time. I’d still come back and give more things on the menu a shot, especially since they seem to have so many great reviews.

Amazing Vietnamese food! The pho broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted very authentic. The banh mi bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. Bot chien, banh trang tron, pha lau, cm ga ... are tasty. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean and cozy. Definitely one of the best Vietnamese spots in Philadelphia! Definitely I will come back with my family.

I loved visiting this place for the first time. The area is improving and I found parking close to the restaurant. I had their Pho special with a new friend and it was amazingly delicious. The owner Jasmine is professional and really cares about her customers and new business. Service staff made sure we were taken care of. The place was clean and comfortable, making me feel its authenticity. I can’t wait to go back and bring another friend.
