This was my first time having Pho soup (other than a cruise ship), and this was absolutely fantastic. Everything from the quality of the chicken, the broth, the fresh basil, the bean sprouts, what a delicious and healthy soup! Made my stomach feel better, and with the rice noodles, it's gluten free! Now I'm hooked on pho soup, and now I need to find one near my home. Thumbs up, all the way.

For Allentown, the pho is good. I'm a bit of a pho snob since I live in Seattle. I'm literally surrounded by 20-30 places to get pho within a 10 min drive. But like I said, good for Allentown. The pho itself was solid. The broth was actually really good and that bumped them up to four stars for me. The rest of the experience is definitely 3 stars. But this was the best place around to introduce my mother to pho. She loved it, fyi.
No Asian soup spoons, relatively small bowls, limited accoutrements (basil, sprouts, lime), limited pho options (chicken, aka pho ga, only), limited seating, only open 3 days a week, and a long wait for food after ordering all beckon a three star rating. Their broth and the fact that it's a small family run stand in the farmer's market swayed me to 4 stars.
They do serve other Vietnamese dishes besides pho. -

What a unique location for PHO.
I've had pho in many of the big cities and this pho stand inside a flea/fruit market is one of the BEST i've ever encountered; phenomenal.
The broth, the cut of meat/chicken, incredible.
INCREDIBLE.
Only challenge is they have limited seating, can get busy easily, too bad they couldn't open up a shop in the town. This mall and restaurant were GEMS on a road trip.
Pure Gems. -

Loan's is just the best, and deserves no less than five stars. The pho (I like the chicken pho) and #10 are solid choices on the regular menu. The specials are my favorite, it's always exciting to see what's new each week. Be warned, they often sell out by 6:30 or 7:00, though they usually have pho no matter what. See my past reviews for more details.

I love this place. Delicious, delicious, freaking delicious. The pho is the best in the Lehigh Valley by leaps and bounds.
