I recently had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Banh Philly, and it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed and valued throughout our visit. The meal was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was a masterpiece, but the crab rolls truly stole the show. We loved them so much that we ordered them twice! The delicate balance of flavors and the fresh ingredients made each bite a delight. They were crispy on the outside, succulent on the inside, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce.

Every dish was prepared with care and presented beautifully. The ambiance of rhe restaurant added to the overall experience.

I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food, and Banh offers a better selection of traditional Vietnamese food than most other restaurants in Philly. Everything I’ve had is consistently delicious, more so than most other restaurants. I’ve even brought friends because I love this place so much! 10/10

I was so excited to see a new Vietnamese restaurant opening downtown with a bunch of delicacies you can’t typically get elsewhere! We ordered tau hu ky, banh khot, banh cuon, and banh beo. Many Vietnamese restaurants in Philly don’t offer these options, which really makes this establishment stand out! The ambience and service were great, and the food was delicious. The food was authentic, and a real determinant of whether the restaurant is legit is how well their nuoc mam (fish sauce) tastes! It was 5 stars across the board for me, and I can’t wait to go back.

Great experience! I was in Philly for a concert last night and stopped in here before the show. I had the Grilled Pork Vermicelli Bowl, so good! The serving amount was great it was enough for leftovers. I would have taken some home but I had a concert and my car was parked in a garage but will take leftovers in the future. Also, the price was very reasonable for the amount of food. Now let’s talk about service, the staff was very friendly, food came out in a timely matter and they make you feel at home. Banh Philly is definitely a great stop for lunch or dinner so I highly recommend this restaurant! I don’t live in Philly but if I did I definitely think I would be a regular!

Omg where do I start?! I’ve been away from home and been craving some good Vietnamese food for a while. Thank goodness I found this place. Take this from a Vietnamese who grew up around Vietnamese food, this place is legit! Whenever you’re in Philly, please do yourself a favor and go here for some food.

One of the best vegetarian spring rolls I’ve ever had, including in Vietnam. The filling was actually spiced and flavorful. The one portion was so filling and tasty!
