A great escape and welcome break from the all too prevalent unnatural, chemical-laden, factory Frankenstein fast food. Van's Café is family friendly, has a welcoming staff, good food and cozy casual setting where you can afford good homemade ethnic Vietnamese meals for the whole family. Wonderful pho and goi cuon (fresh spring roll). Be sure to peruse the daily specials and to try the variety of bubble teas.
We've been here 10+ times and the food quality and service is great every time! The pho is amazing, we usually get shrimp and veggie/tofu and we always get an order or 2 of the crispy vietnamese rolls. Consistant great quality all the time. Tried the drunken noodles and the banh mi once and both were very good but we always go back to the pho. They also have bubble tea which I believe is made from the powder but it tastes great. I definitely recommend the mango. We've gotten other flavors and they were good too but I don't remember which ones. We always do take out but they do have tables for dining in and they always have open tables.
Food was delicious, staff was amazing!!!
Small spot with a friendly, intimate atmosphere. Pho was piping hot and delicious! Dumplings beforehand were excellent as well.
Unlike other spots on Penn Ave, this one was reasonably priced!
I will definitely be going back!
Chicken pho amazing! Van was nice enough to stay open late for us too! Great customer service
