2 months agoBest pho and wings in south Philly! I moved far away but still travel back just to get a bowl. The beef pho is so incredible and the owners are so so nice!!

3 months agoSeveral vegetarian and vegan options. I had the tofu and veggies on stir fried noodles which were excellent, and the tofu bahn mi which was not huge but solid. They don’t use fish sauce in the noodles and no pate on the bahn mi chay. I appreciate that. The tofu seems marinated and was much better than most places I’ve tried. Tried this spot on a random walk-by whim, but I’ll definitely be back.

7 months agoViet Bistro 2 has *the best* vegetarian/vegan pho in the city—hands down! As someone who’s been vegan for years, I can’t begin to explain how rare it is to find a Vietnamese restaurant that serves truly vegan pho (not just veggies tossed into a beef broth). Viet Bistro 2 makes their vegetable broth from scratch, and it is SO flavorful! Just the other week, I was dealing with significant GI upset. None of the over-the-counter or prescription meds I tried made a difference. But one warm, comforting bowl of their Vegetarian Pho? Total game-changer. It soothed my stomach, and I was finally able to get a good night’s rest. My partner ordered the steak and beef pho and loved it just as much. I can also vouch for their tofu rolls! So whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat-eater, Viet Bistro 2 has something delicious for you. If you’re in Philly and haven’t made it to Viet Bistro 2 yet go try their pho! You won’t be disappointed!

8 months agoJust give my honest review. I was ordered 2 bawl pho soup with beef meat. The price was not right for both of soup are $33.78 and the guys was prepared was not wearing glove. And his nail all of them was so dirty and his hand so dirty. He keep touching his long hair. When I questioned him about the price. He was ANGRY. I didn’t like the noodle too. So sloppy to prepare. His wife or whoever help him. Throw the lime to the bawl just like basket ball game. I really honestly to give this 1 stars for them

9 months agoVery delicious and great customer service! Excellent vegan friendly options, especially the lemongrass tofu, veggie summer rolls, and tofu flat rice noodle dishes.

10 months agoIt was very quiet for a Sunday afternoon during dinner time, but the food was SO good! We got Bun Bo hue and spring rolls to share but wish we got our own bowls, and everything exceeded our expectations, highly recommend & we will definitely be back!

a year agoThis 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. GO HERE.
