This place is not fancy or expensive, just delicious. When Anthony Bourdain (RIP) was in Philadelphia recording an episode of "The Layover," he said this was some of the best pho he'd ever eaten. And helped cure his hangover. Order the deluxe pho - it's got all the tasty cuts in it.

Rocky ran through here on his way to the art museum steps. Sometimes there's barrels on fire. There's tons of delicious food. There's ethnic ingredients from all over the world you can't find anywhere else. There's even a butcher with meats that you didn't know existed. Truly a piece of Philadelphia history.
