Phở Việt Hương — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Atmosphere- The restaurant was beautifully decorated and I found myself amazed at how quickly they manage to do get the work done for this place. I often go to the Dollar general that's right next door and so I saw the progress of them working day after day for this particular location. I was really excited when I finally saw that it opened up and I would get the try what they had to offer. I did notice that it said that this place has been open since 1990 so I'm not sure where the old location used to be and I've never been there.

Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk - this had a definite punch to it and I've had Vietnamese iced coffee before but this was definitely on the stronger side. So if you're looking for a bit of a kick after dinner then this is the go to. It also had a very nutty and chocolatey taste and I wonder what brand of coffee they use. Whatever it is, it tasted absolutely amazing and even my sister who doesn't like coffee was very impressed. My only complaint is that before taxes this was a $5 coffee and it was very small. Most people won't care but just keep this in mind if you're a big coffee person.

banh tom chien - 10/10 the sauce was absolutely phenomenal. I believe they told us it was a vinegar based(??) That could be wrong but I'd recommend this 100%. It was basically yam and shrimp, to simplify the dish. Was definitely the star of the show and I'll be back to eat this specifically. Warning the shrimp does have shells on it but I ate it just like that, it's crispy enough that it doesn't matter.

P1 Pho Dac Biet 9/10- was the restaurant special. Was absolutely delicious but I will say that the bowls of pho are significantly smaller than other places I get my Pho from. They also did not include a lot of meat :/. Though the broth was so GOOD that I have to call it a definite win. I just wish they would offer more noodles/meat. But that's a personal preference for me. It definitely didn't impact how delicious this meal was!! I'd get the Pho again.

P4 Pho Tai Nam 9/10 - My sister got this one and she really enjoyed it, said the broth was actually amazing And she actually liked the bowl size. It was just right. She did also need more noodles and agreed that it did have a disproportionate amount of meat, P3 Pho Tai Chin 8/10 - My nephew loves the food here and thought that his pho was amazing but he did wish that they offered different sizes. Like large and medium, to give an example. Other than that he had thought that the pho was absolutely delicious and has been begging me to take him back to the store since then.

The price came up to about $64 for the whole meal and I will say that this is definitely a few more dollars than I've spent at most other Pho places. Still this was such a great experience and I'll definitely be coming back in the future to try other...

Was really in the mood for pho and landed in this newer place in the area.

The menu is extensive- they have options for pho, rice, vermicelli, rice rolls, etc. Service was super quick and the prices were reasonable. The decor is very simple and it's a very accessible place to grab lunch.

Started with the summer rolls which were of a decent size and lots of filling, but I'm used to the sauce being a bit ticker/more substantial with more peanut-forwardness. Probably wouldn't get this again here.

For mains, we got pho with flank/lean beef/brisket and rice rolls. The former was really nice: super clean broth that did nicely when I added some chili oil and the other traditional add-ins. Really lovely overall. I'm not a huge fan of rice rolls but the option here was interesting as it came with fried shrimp in a way that was more fritter-like than I would expect? So I actually very much enjoyed this. The ham portion of this dish was...
