West Philly’s newest dining option is the Vietnam Cafe, on Baltimore Avenue between 47th & 48th Streets. We’ll have their menu shortly… in the meantime, the Daily Pennsylvanian just stopped by the restaurant and found a worthwhile place:
On Baltimore Avenue, Lai is aiming for a calmer experience that brings his cuisine closer to some of his patrons. “Lots of customers of Vietnam live in West Philly, that’s why I’m bringing Vietnam close to home,” he said. Lai and his family - his father opened the deli located next to the Cafe - have been a fixture in the West Philadelphia neighborhood for over twenty years. Lai said he hopes to bring a low-key, highly tasty atmosphere to the new Vietnam Cafe. He says, “We don’t need fast food [here], we need family gourmet.”
