What people say

The Vietnam Restaurant & Café on N 11th Street in Philadelphia has received a mixed bag of reviews from local newspapers. A recent review in the Philadelphia Inquirer describes the restaurant as having "consistently delicious food," with standouts such as the pho, spring rolls, and shaking beef. The reviewer notes that the décor is "minimalist" but that it doesn't detract from the dining experience.

However, a review from Philadelphia Magazine, also recent, was not as positive. The critic notes that while some dishes were "spectacular," others fell short and lacked flavor. They also mention slow service and a lack of explanation for some menu items.

Online customer reviews echo both sentiments. One reviewer on Yelp raves about the "amazing" pho and friendly service, while another complains about a long wait time and mediocre food.

Overall, it seems that Vietnam Restaurant & Café may be hit or miss depending on what dishes are ordered and who is serving them. However, those who have had positive experiences rave about the authentic flavors of Vietnamese cuisine found at this establishment.
