21 Best Vietnamese Restaurants near Upper Darby

“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.“

“I love this place. There are super accommodating. I have a shellfish allergy and they always are good at explaining to me. What is in the food and with the foods made with with no problem and everybody is really kind one of my favorite Vietnamese places. 😊“

“Literally one of my favorites in Philly, Bistro Southeast never disappoints! I have eaten here too many times to not have written a review yet. The food is always flavorful, fresh, and hot. What I like most is that it is always consistent and the portions are sizable. The crab fried rice is my favorite item on their menu but everything I’ve tried has been amazing. The wings are crispy and well seasoned, the salads are refreshing and feeling, the mango sticky rice is the perfect balance of sweet and savory…I’ve tried other dishes as well, just too many to list haha! In addition to the food, the service is great. The staff is always so friendly, they play apart in how frequently I eat there as well. I don’t have any pictures of my food because when I remember to take them my food is already half gone.“

“Got a Pork Banh Mi at SaiGon Noodle Kitchen today. Absolutely delicious - light and very flavorful! I look forward to returning!“

“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!“

“Corey’s is the best Vietnamese food we’ve ever had outside of Vietnam. And, Corey is quite possibly the nicest guy on earth. The food is phenomal, the service great, and you can feel great about supporting a family owned local business!“

“What a gem!! Had a high rating and lived up to it. Food was excellent with very natural and authentic taste. Had the pork spring rolls, Peking duck sandwich, deluxe hoagie, Pho special, and house fried rice. Not heavy, but large portions for leftovers. Service was fast and welcoming. 100% will return!“

“Delicioso , se come muy bien .“

“Go here. You won’t be disappointed“

“Came back from Vietnam recently and wanted some Pho. Nom nam took me back for a minute . Started with the coffee, was bold and sweet. Got the pho dac biet, which was rich, savory, and had a unique flavor, as the pho spice blend was more star anise forward and a bit sweeter, complementing the richness of the broth. It also didn’t use much MSG to get that deep flavor. The scallions were also great quality, and the portions are generous for the price. South Philly isn’t far for a hub of Vietnamese food but the flavor of this place is more unique in a way. Highly recommend“

“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.

“Just like any other restaurant, you have to know what you're ordering. The food here is delicious. The price is fair and you get what you pay for. The place seems clean. The service is great.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“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.“

“Thx 2 Chopped, I ate here! Best decision ever, tremendous food, Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich and their Sweet Bacon Jam Redux sandwich are incredible.“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you are in the mood for Pho and/or another Vietnamese dish, you MUST check this place out. You will not be disappointed in any dish. Fresh ingredients, competitive pricing, and family owned. Give it a try!“

“Delicious and full-bodied Thai iced tea! And tasty bahn mi.“

“All ban mi sandwiches are amazing“
