About Eight Bowls Pho

Eight Bowls Pho turns out hearty bowls of Vietnamese pho and rare Cambodian noodle specialties along Bluff Road in Hampton. Photographed dishes line the walls so you know what you are getting—from crispy roast pork bao with crackling skin to clear chicken noodle soups. Regulars point to the Cambodian five-spice beef brisket rice noodle soup for rich broth with a peppery kick, alongside whole roasted duck ordered by the kilo.

  • Cambodian Five-Spice Brisket Noodle Soup: A hard-to-find regional soup featuring tender beef brisket and fragrant broth with chili heat.
  • House-Roasted Pork & Duck by the Kilo: Prepared crisp and golden, offered as steamed bao fillings or boxed whole by weight for takeaway.
  • Wall-Mounted Photo Menu: Clear visual references mounted across the dining room wall remove guesswork when ordering.

    Kid-friendly options like crispy pork on rice and chicken breast pho ensure everyone in the family finds their favorite dish.

    My kids like the chicken breast pho. Sometimes they don't like when other restaurants use dark meat as their only chicken pho choice.
