Pho Ha Bac - Haddon Heights

If you told me that the bread used for the banh mi came from a bakery in Paris and was freshly baked that morning, I wouldn't doubt you for a moment. It had a delightful crispness yet was light and airy on the inside, with just the right amount of chewiness. The quick pickled carrots provided the perfect level of acidity that the sandwich needed. I ordered the chicken signature banh mi but added pate to make it more authentic. Honestly, it's hard for me to recall a better banh mi anywhere. I will definitely return.

I’ve visited nearly all the pho restaurants in South Jersey, and here are my thoughts. The noodles are a bit softer than al dente, which is nice. The beef is exceptional—it's the best quality and well-prepared. However, the real highlight is the broth; it's aromatic with a deep flavor that isn’t overwhelming. I can genuinely say it's the best pho in the area. On their website, they mention that they aim to excel in a few areas, and they’ve definitely achieved that.

The portion sizes for both dishes were generous, and they tasted delicious. The pho was incredibly flavorful and loaded with meat, though I would have liked a bit more noodles. My partner thought the bread in the banh mi was slightly stale, and I noticed that it wasn’t the typical Vietnamese baguette you usually find. I would love to return and explore more of the menu. The customer service was excellent—friendly and welcoming. Just a heads up, parking can be a bit challenging. Overall, I’d rate it 3.5/5.

I really love this place, but I'm always having trouble with their phone orders. Today, I tried calling but ended up deciding to just drive over since they open at 11. I arrived at 11:15, but they still weren’t open. It’s becoming quite frustrating to get food from here. Does anyone know if their online hours are incorrect?

The food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. The rare beef soup was outstanding—definitely deserving of an A+!
