Five stars !!! Surprisingly good authentic Vietnamese food in the middle of a disadvantaged neighborhood. It's not as bad as Kensington neighborhood, but I would advise go before sundown and don't go alone. Now, onto the food : Very legit pho broth, has beef bones flavor and doesn't leave that extreme thirst aftertaste like those from fake powder pho broths. The meat is a bit thick, but acceptable. I would advise them to invest in a meat slicer to get super thin slices. Also to slice the tripe thinner too. Noodles are cooked well and not too soggy or chewy. Veggies are super fresh ! The bessstttt part for me is their homemade sate chillies lemongrass sauce. Oh my my ! It gives every dish that extra layer of flavor and aroma ! I don't see this at every Viet restaurant Banh mi - bbq beef is bomb !!! Omg has to be my top 3 spots in Philly for banh mi. Love the scallions mayo. Well seasoned meat. Crispy fluffy bread. Freshly pickled daikon carrots. Great balance. Smoothies are juices are REAL fruits. I see 5 watermelons and bunch of bananas, pineapples, mangos etc on display. Prices are very reasonable, lower than at other Viet places in nicer areas. They do take credit card and has delivery service. Service was friendly, fast, and they speak English well. I hope they do well and expand locations to more commercialized neighborhoods like south Philly. Easier and safer to get to. But for now, prices are great and I will continue to make the trek there.

The shrimp egg rolls were awesome. Perfectly crispy. We both got tofu Bah Mis. Which is one of my favorite foods. Or was excellent and filling. They put tons of veggies on it too. We also got avocado shakes that were bangin. I got a Vietnamese coffee which wasn't as sweet as most places make it. That was a plus to me.

I was very surprised to find Pho Don in this location. You must order the food first. This was my first time, the food came out quickly. The customer service was good. I spent about $25 for my meal. The taste was great!

They are just ok. Right behind Temple hospital and at 530-6p pretty much the only place with lights on the block. The service was fast. I ordered online and ready 15 minutes. The food: Noodles firm, not squishy. That is a plus. The shrimp egg roll vermicelli was WOW (pictured below). Lemonade ($5.50) and young coconut just ($5.50) delicious, treat yourself. However the Pho. We had chicken and shrimp. The chicken had 0 flavor. Other chicken Pho usually grilled to give something. This no flavor. The shrimp (9) were not seasoned either. Perhaps they bet on the broth to make flavor? 6/9 of the shrimp should've been cleaned better. Deveining wise. The broth was not as deep and flavorful as we hoped. Just kinda ok. Too many other places to try, I wouldn't return. But if thirsty and wanted to treat myself-- drinks on point.
The fresh juices and fruit are my favorite here. The Pho is a solid choice too. The staff is super accommodating. Highly recommend.

I order from here all the time because the broth is very flavorful. However, this time around they sent me uncooked pho noodles. It literally taste like I was chewing rubber. You’ve lost a loyal customer
Hidden gem for sure. Everything is so fresh, the fruit juices seem cold pressed. Definitely an underrated spot.
