Growing up in Saigon, this hidden gem spot easily is one of the best authentic mi quang I’ve had in the states.

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!

Had a very yummy bowl of Mi Quang! The noodles are perfectly cooked, and I liked that they added the puffed rice paper cracker and peanuts. I thought the broth alone could’ve used a touch more of salt/fishsauce, but the table has plenty of condiments to dress it up to your own taste!
** The owner informed me that the restaurant will be closed for a short period of time starting 1/08/25 and will most likely be open for takeout. Keep this in mind to call ahead of time in case they’re closed! **

I agree with other comments regarding the male owner. This guy is very rude and disrespectful. He gave us a big attitude when we recalculated our bill to make sure it was correct. Will never come back even though the food is ok.

The male owner is extremely rude and uneducated. Will not come back no mater how good the food is.

The owner was rude and literature me about tipping them.
He called himself calling me about to the register after a paid for my meal and told me if you dine-in you tip.
I will not return!

Dirty, rat infested restaurant. Ignorant male owner.

This is a hidden gem in the middle of the “needle” town. Hands down one of the best Mi Quang restaurant in the North East.
I came in for brunch on a Monday and got seated right away. The special Mi Quang reminds me of the flavors when I used to live back home. The egg rolls was extremely crispy. I also ordered a Chicken Banh Mi as well and it was amazing.
They’d prefer cash so I would recommend bringing some along. The street is a bit sketchy so look out and don’t leave anything valuable that addicts might be able to see.
Was new to this style of noodles, and I was definitely pleased with the result. Went with the mi quang special. The noodles were delicious, a lovely texture and plentiful. The assortment of meat was very well prepared, including the shrimp, Vietnamese ham, meatballs, pork, and beef-the beef was my favorite. The sauce was flavorful and I was grateful that chili oil was available to supplement it.
The space itself can seem a bit cramped. We happened to arrive at a good time when a table fitting our party as available, but it seems like the place would fill quickly so you may not get as lucky. Service was super quick. Overall, definitely worth a trek to the area for.
