Gabriella's Vietnam - Darby Township

I arrived with a party of two, but I was informed that they no longer accept walk-ins. However, a group of three that came in right after us was welcomed.

Be sure to bring cash! You can enjoy a 5% discount if you pay with cash. This place offers a different experience than typical Vietnamese restaurants, which usually focus on pho, banh mi, and spring rolls. While I noticed many guests were dressed up, I found the concrete walls made it feel a bit cramped for that kind of attire. The overall vibe is more casual, with affordable street food options. The fern dumplings are a great value, though they can be a bit difficult to eat. The crepes primarily consist of egg with minimal filling, but the Brussels sprouts were surprisingly good. As for the seafood fried rice, it’s just standard fried rice. On a positive note, there are plenty of gluten-free options for those with dietary restrictions.

I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and had an amazing experience! The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We were part of a large group and tried many items from the menu, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed! We only have one photo because we eagerly devoured each dish as soon as it arrived. The staff was incredibly accommodating, and I can’t wait to visit again soon!

Great food, service and affordable. Staff was extremely helpful in explaining the dishes.

I had reservations for a table to enjoy the best shaken beef in South Philly and seafood fried rice, but I was disappointed when they seated me at the bar instead.
