About

Pho Bac focuses on the preparation of authentic Vietnamese soups and traditional rice noodle bowls. The menu highlights slow-simmered beef and chicken bone broths infused with star anise, cinnamon, and ginger. Patrons customize their bowls with fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, sliced jalapenos, and lime wedges provided at every table. Beyond the signature noodle soups, the offerings include crispy spring rolls and grilled meat vermicelli plates served with pungent fish sauce. The dining environment maintains a functional, high-turnover layout designed for efficient service of hot meals. Stainless steel tables and minimalist seating emphasize the practicality of the culinary experience. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for individuals seeking classic, broth-based comfort food prepared according to established regional standards without unnecessary garnish or complex culinary embellishments.

Uno de los mejores Pho que he probado. Me considero catador de Pho y lo busco a cada país que voy. Pocos requieren dejar el plato vacío y este es uno de ellos. Sumamente recomendable 👌🏾

The food was amazing! I took my mother during the May 24 long weekend. She loved it too! The food was so fresh & tasty... I forgot to take pictures.😅😋 I had number 18- Grilled Shrimp on vermicelli, it came with coleslaw & a vinaigrette dressing. My mother got number 19- Grilled Chicken on vermicelli also came with coleslaw & a vineigrette dressing. The servings are enough to fill you up. I would definitely be back to try another dish.

A classic that has been around forever. The pho is good, although inconsistent depending on how "young" the broth is (that who know, know ;) ). The noodles & everything else is always fresh. Definitely recommend. If you go early in the week it is a lot less busy. Great quick lunch spot. You can be in & out in 15-20 min of there are open tables.
