Reviews for Bánh Mì and Bottles in Philadelphia, PA
A good attempt to bring Vietnamese food to the mainstream. All dishes, whenever possible, are "presented" in a way that they... can be eaten the "western" way, i.e. served mostly on a plate, with exceptions for the noodle dishes. We like the squid and thepapaya salads, not in the traditional form, but they were good enough to satisfy most palates. The grilled pork vermicelli wasa tad greasy for our taste. The pho's broth was very rich and "cloudy", an indication that they may have used the instant potto make the broth. Over all, we enjoyed the outing, the beers and cocktails were great. You could find most of the beers inbottles, and what were on tap were decent as well. Services were pitiful, the waitress could not navigate the menu very well. Vietnamese is a difficult language to master. They would do better if menu uses numbers. Our waitress messed up our orderbadly, and spent most of the evening apologized for her screw up. Parking was difficult, both on availability andaccessibility. Give some time to get a parking space... Read more
Really really good food and vibes here! One of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Philadelphia. The bar is very trendy and... cocktail menu looks creative. We had the summer rolls, pork belly and brisket bao buns for appetizer. Definitely wouldrecommend the pork belly bao! It?s cooked perfectly. Good balance between the fatty and lean meat. For entrees we had the beefpho and the Obama bowl. Both were good. We really enjoyed the Obama bowl- rice noodle with grilled pork and imperial rolls ontop. 10/10 would come back! Great location and service too. Read more
Good Vietnamese restaurant in Phily. Clean, nice staff, good food, a variety of choices. Would definitely come again
Good food! I had the Obama Bowl and it was great. If you go to little Saigon you will find cheaper more authentic options but... for a upscale Vietnamese place with nice interior it was very nice. The staff was friendly but service was a little slow. Read more
I love their grilled squid and both of the salads. Not much a big fan of the chicken pho and bun rieu cua. It?d be better ????
Delicious Pho and Banh Mi! Was also very impressed by the bottle selection available for carry out. Came by at 530 on a Friday... and was quickly seated and the food came out fast also as we ordered. Definitely plan to be back! Read more
Had the tamarind chicken which was super crispy but lacking in some flavor. Nonetheless, don?t regret the purchase. It was also... happy hour so cost $7. I got the pho brisket sandwich which was so juicy. It was like a bowl of pho inside a hoagie! The porkone was a bit dry. No meat or juice soaked into the bread. So the dryness made it less enjoyable. The service was great! Ourwaiter was kind, fast, and efficient! Read more
