Square on Square Contemporary Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I was surprised that this place is now more of a Vietnamese spot! Friendly service, fast preparation, clean restaurant. There is a cool room upstairs where it looks like they host live music. Didn't catch it this time around but it looks like a cool venue.

-Highly recommend the pork rice platter, absolutely delicious! The shrimp toast were very different than the Thai style I am used to, but quite good. Very strong sesame flavor. -The bread they use for the bahn mi here is PERFECTION, and overall I would say the sandwich was good.

The beef and scallops came with a good amount of snow peas and protein portion, and that garlic sauce is legit! Savory and a bit of spice.
