be careful!. my brother and i ate here right before this restaurant was closed down temporarily by the health department. i was fine, but he got really sick. i have eaten at Trams several times and like the food, but it is definitely not worth the fear of getting sick.

My Favorite Restaurant in Pittsburgh. I don't know if it was the supposed "back story" that hooked my heart or the Saigon Soup or both, but Trams is by far my FAVORITE restaurant in Pittsburgh. I would wait out in the rain, snow, sleet or hail to get a seat in this place.

The owner who is missing part of his arm, greets each person as they walk in, seats them and then takes their drink order. He also takes your money at the end :) In between, you are served, rather slowly, by the staff which usually includes his daughter and I'm assuming other family members.

Their shrimp spring rolls, made fresh and made to order are so delicious, they could make a meal in themselves. Dipped in peanut sauce with a dash of hot sauce makes them even better.

If you decide to go to Trams, leave plenty of time for waiting to be seated and then to be served.... but I promise it is worth the wait!

My favorite pho spot in the world. I live in virginia and make Trams my must spot to stop. The Pho soup and spring rolls are the best I have ever had

Pretty good place. I like the spring rolls because they aren't super loaded with herbs, even though the ones I had in Vietnam were, and the dipping sauce is yummy too. I've only been twice, once I sat down and once I got take out. Both times I got the beef pho and it was definitely better as takeout, you get soup in one container, noodles, medium rare beef (definitely some raw/pink) and onions and some herbs in another container and a baggy full of bean sprouts, mint and a lime wedge plus they pack some siracha hot sauce with a darker sauce and it was super fast, I went in and ordered and got it within 5 min. The only down side is that they only take cash or check.
