Vietnam Cafe Restaurant

I’ve been to a lot of Vietnamese places over the years and this gem located in a small strip mall in the small town Telford, PA was probably among the top 3 best Vietnamese restaurants I’ve been too. It was recommend by our neighbor and it surely did not disappoint.

The apps - summer roll; very fresh veggies and shrimp as well as very flavorful grilled pork. Was wrapped tightly and the filling didn’t fall out like a lot of other restaurants. The peanut sauce was well balanced, love a good peanut sauce. The fried spring rolls were definitely house made and not bought frozen; well if it was, it had me fooled. The filling had a generous amount of pork and the flavors were explosive. Was fried very crispy. So good. The dipping cause was less fishy than others but more vinegary which gave it a nice acidic punch.

The noods - I got the #1 pho which is the classic beef noodle soup with all the fixings. That’s always my go to as a baseline. It was served piping hot which as any good Asian knows is quintessential to having a happy belly. The soup was full of flavor without being heavy. You can taste the hours and hours of simmering away of the bones and meats. Speaking of the meat, all the beef cuts were tender and fresh. The noodles were cooked perfect, had a good texture from start to finish. Even the side of sprouts, basil and other accoutrements were fresh. My husband isn’t a big soup guy, he ordered the #11 which is the dry seafood rice noodles with chicken soup on the side. The sauce for the noodles was very clean and classic of a sweet soy and sesame oil flavor. The seafood was cleaned and flavorful. The chicken broth was of good quality, a little sweet but still very satisfying.

Our neighbor also recommended the banh mi and again, it did not disappoint. We ordered the grilled pork banh mi to share. The pork was super flavorful and juicy. Sometimes the meat in a banh mi can be dried out and jerky like but this wasn’t that at all. The bread was crusty but soft. The owner said they usually order about 50 rolls daily from the bakery to keep the freshness. So so good. This was my husband’s favorite.

The overall ambience was a little lacking though but when your food is that good, the simple decor is perfectly acceptable. Could use a few pictures on the plain yellow walls, but that’s just a suggestion, not a must. Lot of Asian customers that night which is a good sign as well. The staff were awesome. Super quick service like any good Asian restaurant.

Overall an amazing find in a small town. Would highly recommend even if you gotta make the drive for it.

If you looking for real authentic Vietnamese food, this is the place. The Vietnamese hoagie “ bánh mì “ is excellent. And the “ PHO “ is phenomenal..!!

Best Authentic Viet food in all of PA, NY and NJ. If you like spicy noodle soup get the BUN BO HUE. Flavor is outstanding. Every dish is delicious and fresh. You won’t be disappointed. Come here for the amazing food. I take my Viet mom here if that says anything.

Love this new cafe I was recommended!!! Giving this a five star ONLY for the Banh Mi that I ordered and the service for my take out.
I’ve been looking for a business that makes Banh Mi and I it’s here.
This is the classic Vietnamese hoagie. This cafe made this perfectly from how I remembered it as a kid. The roll is so fresh, smeared pate and layers of fresh cucumber, jalapeño, pickled carrots, and lots of the Vietnamese cold cuts. MUAH, YUMMY!!!
Cafe is easy to get to. It’s in small strip of business. Whether taking out or dining in there, the host was super friendly and quick.
The prices are super reasonable for the amount of food and quality considering everything has doubled in prices due to the supply chain. My hoagie was $8.00.
Cafe was clean from what I was able to see. It’s spacious enough to have privacy if needed.
Decor is functional and simple. I highly recommend this cafe to try.

Had a great lunch here today, first time. The Pho was outstanding, and it starts with the broth. It was one of the heartier Pho broths I’ve ever had. You could tell it was soaking in beef bone marrow for a LONG time. Plenty of basil too, and a large portion overall. I also enjoyed a coconut drink with fresh meat inside, always a must. My co-worker had the vermicelli, it looked great, and again larger than other places. Truly and authentic experience. Thank you, we’ll be back!
