“The pho was excellent—rich broth and great flavor. Just a heads-up: they don’t accept cards, so it's cash only. The place isn’t the cleanest or most polished, but honestly, that seems to be pretty common with a lot of authentic Vietnamese spots. Worth it for the food.“

“Such a warm and welcoming environment! The PHO was absolutely delicious. Beautiful and incredibly comfortable seating. Free and easy parking, a great restaurant right on 38, easy from Philly or anywhere in South Jersey.“

“It’s a cute cafe. Banh Mi is good . Love how they use seeded bread. I like the blended espresso and my daughter likes the cookies & cream.😋 The catering food was delicious . My guests liked the shrimp tapioca wrapped in banana leaves. Spring rolls was very stuffed with lots of meat . Highly recommend this place!“

“Friends took us here for dinner and what a fantastic experience all around! The food was authentic and delicious, the staff as well as the owner are all incredibly friendly, welcoming and made sure we were well taken care of after a slight snafu with our reservation time. We had a fun filled night with unexpected karaoke, mainly lead by the staff who all delivered excellent performances. Corey was very hands on and interacts with all of his guests. He even broke out the whiskey and shared it with the entire restaurant. What a fun night! We will definitely be back!“

“Café Diem in South Philly is hands down our favorite spot for Vietnamese food, especially their Bún bò Huế. My wife and I have tried this dish at countless places, and nowhere even comes close to the rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced bowl they serve here. The broth is deep and aromatic, the meat is tender, and the spice hits just right. On top of that, the service is always warm and welcoming—it truly feels like being served by family. The entire menu is solid, but the Bún bò Huế keeps us coming back. Highly recommend supporting this gem!“

“Came here with a friend for lunch and the food was both VERY reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I got a mango-jackfruit smoothie and tried some of my friend's lemongrass tofu - both were fantastic. Will absolutely come back if I'm in Philly again!“

“Have eaten for Bo Ne a great deal. Love the food and have lived in Vietnam and food is very much on par with the actual Vietnamese Restaurants in Ho Cho Minh City and Hanoi. Can not say anything bad for the place. Have frequented since first opened and the original owners.“

“This is a must-try for anyone who loves Vietnamese food. The fish banh mi was fresh and flavorful, with perfectly cooked fish and crispy vegetables. The pho was served hot, with a rich broth and fresh herbs adding so much flavor. The staff was attentive and quick, making the dining experience even better. I will definitely be back!“

“What a gem of a spot! As an Asian food lover, this Vietnamese eatery quickly became a favorite in the neighborhood. Their summer rolls, bánh mì, and caramel coffee are incredible—the coffee, especially, hits the perfect sweet spot. I’ve already returned several times, and I know I’ll be back again!“

“This place is a GEM hiding in plain sight! The food is GREAT. (The space is a former long-time Chinese-American spot, so don't get worried about the atmosphere or service.)
Curious for a long time and more, I ordered Summer Rolls (#2), Shrimp Summer Rolls (#3), and Spring Rolls (#1). I ate the first two (two of each per order, fyi) and they were SPECTACULAR. Particularly with the table side brown sauce and chili dips that were available. The Shrimp Summer Rolls are filled with veggies, clear noodles and come with two large shrimp. The wrap of the roll is also clear, so you see what you get. GET THIS.
Next, I got three Bahn Mi Hoagies. Pork (#18), Chicken (#19), and Tofu (#20). I had the Pork and Chicken. Like the Rolls, they were GREAT and of course I added the above sides.
Regarding the Spring Roll (#3) and the Tofu Banh Mi hoagie (#20), I brought this to a family member who is part Asian and a Pacific Islander. She said the food was *a ten*.
Finally, I got Fried Dumplings (#12). Same as above. ?
At the end of my visit, pleasantries were exchanged in French (the colonial experience) and it was a perfect finishing touch to this awesome, rather unplanned experience.
GO HERE. SUPPORT SOUTH STREET.

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem a few weeks ago heading to a different restaurant but this one caught my attention, it’s BYOB as well the Pho and chicken and shrimp tempura is theeeee best, the Pho soup was so flavorful and the beef was cooked just right, the service was very good food came out nice and hot, it’s a nice chill atmosphere and they got some good music on the playlist, I have been here 2x since. Only place I go now when I want Pho.

“I had never tried Pho before, but was looking for something warm and spicy to battle this chilly weather we’re having. I ordered over the phone and when I went to pick up my food the owner was so incredibly friendly. He told me about how it gets chilly in Vietnam in the evenings and they’ll make their broth spicy to warm them up. The food was incredible, spicy enough to warm you from the inside and so very flavorful. I will definitely be back.“

“The Mi Quang, as the name suggests, is what to get. Usually not something I crave as much as other things as a Viet person, but it is sooo good, and I have to say this is near the top of my list of best Viet dishes in philly. Highly recommend. For those who aren’t familiar with Mi Quang (the dish), it is really accessible, and easy to eat. Its a chicken noodle soup with a wide egg noodle more like a fettuccine/tagliatelle than the rice noodles you see in pho. The balance of the broth is top tier, and the veggies that come on the side were abundant and fresh.
Go try this place!“

“This family owned restaurant is a gem in South Philly. Inconspicuously located on Broad Street, when you step in you are kindly greeted.
The staff is wonderful, kind, and will strike up a conversation. The service is incredibly fast.
The food is delicious. I recommend the Pho and the Pork Banh Mi. The Pho broth is one of the best in Philly.
The price has gone up in the past years, but I'll blame it on inflation nationally. Pho will be $12-15. The Banh mi is relatively cheap at $6-9.
I would 100% recommend and would happily eat here again.
Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs to get to dining area would make wheelchair access very difficult.“

“Super Cute Bar Love The Decorations & Ambiance. It Has 2 Levels With At Least 2 Bars (I think there may be a third bar upstairs but I didn’t explore the whole place). The Vibe Here Is Quite Unique. We Stopped By Briefly On Friday & It Seemed Like It Was Hispanic Night But I’m Not Sure If That Is Usually The Selection Or If They Have A Rotating Music Selection.
My Only Concern Is The Additional Charges They Added To The Bill. 10% In Alcohol Tax & Then 20% Service Charge… When We Asked If The Service Charge Was The Tip The Bartender Said No…
I Will Definitely Be Back To See What Else They Have To Offer Here & Try Some Food.“

“Let’s start with the Banh Beo Chen! It’s a small-steamed rice cake topped with mushroom/grounded pork sauce. It came steaming hot and super delicious! Add a bit of fish sauce and hot chili and it will be the best thing you ever try!
The Mi Quang was also full of flavor. It’ll the mid-Viet style that is being transpire into their recipe. It reminds me of the true Miền Trung style food that you get from home.
The store was super clean and there is a wide variety of drinks as well. Their food menu is small but it focuses on the Mid region of Vietnam. We’ll be back to try more!“

“The food is amazing and not the typical Vietnamese offering. The restaurant switches up the menu quite frequently, so you almost never know what is going to be available when you go there. It is definitely a great date place and it is located in a very fun neighborhood.“

“Pretty good. Torn on whether I would go back or not, though.
Had the rice vermicelli with pork and the appetizer salt and pepper chicken wings. There was an ample amount of pork in the vermicelli but I probably would have liked more of the pickled chopped veggies with it. The wings were very good and I probably preferred them out of the two.“

“First time i went i ate in. Portions were more than enough for the price paid. I had got the pork chop rice platter. Nothing but flavor. Tried their take out option the next few times and it still did not miss. Food is great. Highly recommend. Good service…never packed in there. As alot of ppl order ahead. Also i get my egg fried hard that they put on the rice. Not a fan of the runny yolk.“
“We always come for the hoagie and coffee, grab and go. Don't be fooled by the lackluster neighborhood and surrounding area, Vinh Long Cafe is an amazing Vietnamese cafe and restaurant that is surely overlooked and underrated. It is a secret gem in South Philly. The Vietnamese iced coffee is made perfectly and the Vietnamese hoagie is unbelievably fresh and authentic. One reason it doesn't get the visits and accolades it deserves is probably due to its environment. Often the cafe seems to be filled with only local friends or family just hanging out. Sometimes the place is completely empty and they play traditional news or music. It doesn't seem too welcoming to those who don't speak the language, but don't be intimidated as this is just the traditional ways of the people there. Just walk up to the owner - who is always at counter - and ask for a Vietnamese hoagie and coffee. They make the hoagie on order right there in front of you. It's fresh and as authentic as it gets. Eat there or take it to go. It's worth the try.“

“Authentic banh mi. The #6 could be sold on the streets of Ho Chi Minh. The bread is so fresh and has the flaky crust of a really good baguette. Toppings are fresh and spicy. And only $8? Wow! Mom and pop restaurant and they are very friendly. I ordered a ham #6 and a BBQ pork #4 banh mi and a delicious iced Vietnamese coffee. Quick service and great quality. Not much seating is the only downside. Otherwise, if you like banh mi you need to try it out!
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian banh mi!“

“My bf is from vietnam and when he misses good home food, we come here!! We’ve tried a good amount of dishes but the ones we recommend are: Banh Canh soup noodle, Mi Quang, Banh Tam Bi, and the Banh Mi with Cha siu. All are very solid choices. The food is authentic, and prices are reasonable. Also the owner is super friendly we love it here.TDLR: It feels like your Asian mom or dad made you a delicious home cooked meal. Would recommend.“

“So I Typically order the tofu hoagie from Tais which is amazing and I've gotten many friends hooked on it, but I thought that I should try their tofu veggie pho and see how I like it.First of all, it was arguably the best noodle soup I have ever had. Full of tofu, cabbage, bell pepper, onion, and broccoli, as well as the add on sauces, lemon, and Thai basil, it was super filling and made me wish I had more.The broth is light but flavorful and the Thai basil had a bit of an anise and minty flavor go it, but when I added the tomato sauce/base to the soup, the Thai basil became spicy almost.So this dish is one that will fill you up and repeatedly change flavors10/10 recommend“

“Omg !! I just ordered a Chicken Pho during my lunch break today and this Pho has to be the best one I have ever tried. At first when I smelled the broth alone I wasn't impressed once I tasted it was a game changer. And definitely once I put the noodles, chicken, and fried garlic and a little bit of Sriracha sauce in the broth I was in love !! For me this has to be the #1 Pho spot I've been to. I'm soo glad I gave them a try !! ❤?“
