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.

Nous avons pris la soupe Phô au boeuf & les côtelettes de porc. Le bouillon était excellent, les portions de viande très généreuses. En somme la nourriture super! La seule perte de point est pour le service. L'équipe n'est pas particulièrement sympathique. Mais si vous voulez manger de la bonne soupe Phô a bas prix c'est la place!

I have not tried many Phos in the city. But I checked a few places with good rates & they all were awful! Pho Bac is the only place that we can find delicious Pho

I ordered Phở nạm / well-done beef pho. The taste was surprisingly okay. My only complaint would be that the beef didn't have enough fats 🙁 (way too lean, actually). The broth was light like Northern Pho, obviously the taste wasn't there yet but def acceptable. Really optimal for quick & feel good lunch. The service was really efficient, I ordered when I got seated & got my bowl of Pho ~2 minutes later. You paid at the front. The restaurant was crowded when I was there. The order lady does speak broken English & French if this is your concern.

This place is awesome. The service was extremely quick. They take cards - old reviews say it's cash only which is no longer accurate.
