a month agoBeen on my Philly food list for a long time and finally gave it a try. Bahn mi's are the perfect sandwich in my opinion, and this place does them right. Fresh ingredients, with simple flavors that all work well together. Tried a few different ones with friends and all of them were perfection. Vietnamese iced coffee hit the spot to finish the meal off.

2 months agoI visited Cafe Cuong with my girlfriend for a quick lunch. It was my first time here, and I left pretty satisfied. The food was great, and you can tell this place has a long history. Having been around for over 30 years, it’s clear their approach to making good food hasn’t changed. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Street Parking Atmosphere - The decor is definitely showing its age, but the restaurant is clean and well maintained. The artwork feels vintage and adds to the character of the space. Service - We had a chance to chat with the owner’s son while we were eating, and they were very friendly and welcoming. What We Ordered - Vietnamese Iced Coffee (Good) Com Chay Cha Bong (Crispy rice with chicken floss and fish sauce) Surprisingly delicious and very addictive Deluxe Banh Mi (Very good) Final Thoughts - It’s not an area we visit often, but we would definitely come back if we’re in South Philly again. If you’re in South Philly and craving authentic Banh Mi, this is definitely a spot worth checking out.

4 months agoSimple and spectacular. Reasonably priced. Every variety is fantastic but my favorite is the lemongrass grilled pork. Coffee is strong and delicious as well. Friendly owners. Neighborhood vibe. This is what you want.

7 months agoDelicious, generous, welcoming, and accommodating. Such a neighborhood gem of Bella Vista. One of my first times visiting, they introduced "brawn" to me and offered a small sample. Ever since then, I've visited several times for a quick, filling bite and good conversation. I'm hooked. They're good at what they do. Absolutely patron them.

10 months agoBest banh mi i’ve tried in PHL and better than the place that won best banh mi in san francisco. Ordered the deluxe which is usually the combo at most places, good pate and meats and a good roll,”

10 months agoLong overdue review for Cafe Cuong. My family has been going to this place for decades. My mom used to take us here as kids and I remember the anxiousness to find parking to get these hoagies. Now as a host of many family gatherings, one of my most requested platters is a Banh Mi Charcuterie Board to which I could never execute without the help of the guys here. They always hook it up and it is much appreciated! Don't forget to get a Cafe Sua Da while you wait!

a year agoThe banh mi and cafe are absolutely delicious! The banh mis are freshly made - the bread is warm and the filling is fresh! It’s also only $9-10, very affordable. The hot cafe with condensed milk was not too sweet and perfect for a cooler day. The shop is clean, has one table if you want to eat there. People there are also kind and friendly. Definitely recommend this local shop.
