Our monthly lunch with Karin and George brought Jay and Ken back to Corey's Crafty Vietnamese Cuisine, 1314 South Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147 (267-703-2299), which is becoming a favorite. Friday, August 15, 2025, we celebrated the anniversary of Karin and George, which we didn't get to do last month. We had a delicious lunch!
We arrived a bit early for our reservation but were seated in a timely manner.
We shared the following:
Golden Bags - stuffed with shrimp and colossal crab, with a sweet chili sauce
Pork and Shrimp Dumplings - pan fried, with ginger-scallion sauce
Summer roll with pork and shrimp, with Hoisin infused peanut sauce
Crispy Curry Chicken Dumplings, with garlic-soy glaze
Vietnamese Style Fried Rice with Seafood - shrimp, calamari, and mussels
It was so good, we then tried the Vietnamese Style Fried Rice with BBQ Pork - WOW!
We ended our meal with BBQ Pork Bahn Mi
Excellent! Everything was fresh and full of flavor!
It was nice speaking with Corey and meeting his wife. Rob was pleasant as well.

You can't go wrong with anything here. We plan to return in October for some special dishes. We also want to try the Vietnamese style fried rice with grilled BBQ chicken. Looking forward to our next visit!
Please support these wonderful people!
