About Pho HQ

Pho HQ turns out deeply aromatic beef broth and generous noodle bowls right along Como Parade West. Locals head in for steaming pho laden with tender brisket, dialed in with house chilli oil and oversized soup spoons. The kitchen branches out beyond Vietnamese staples, firing up shaking beef, wok-tossed fried rice carrying serious wok hei, and crisp spring rolls alongside extensive vegan broths. Front-of-house host Yen greets regulars by name in a clean, easygoing dining room humming with low-key chatter and relaxed background music.

  • Hearty noodle bowls: Hefty bowls of pho arrive packed with sliced brisket, fresh herbs, and rich broth, accompanied by house-made chilli oil and large soup spoons for slurping.
  • Cross-regional wok dishes: Beyond noodle soups, the menu spans sizzling plates of black pepper shaking beef, crisp spring rolls, and fragrant stir-fries.
  • Vegan and dietary options: Plant-based diners can tuck into dedicated vegan pho and sweet corn soup options alongside gluten-free alternatives.

  • Special Fried Rice

    My favorite dish is the special fried rice, the “wok index” we call in Asian culture is strong on this one.

  • Shaking Beef

    I tried the 'shaking beef' which was flavoured with black pepper sauce and butter which I paired it with the fried rice🤌🏼 The smell as it was being brought to me, mouth watering🤤

  • Vegan Pho

    The vegan pho and vegetarian spring rolls are my favourite dishes on the menu, the pho broth is very flavorful and spring rolls aren’t too heavy.

Before you head over

Helpful tips on sizing, dietary requests, and dining in at Pho HQ

  • Upgrade to a Large Bowl for Heartier Appetites

    Regular pho portions can feel modest for bigger appetites, but upgrading to a large bowl costs only a few dollars more and provides plenty of meat, soup, and noodles.

  • Dine In for Peak Broth Temperature

    For the freshest, steaming-hot broth and tender beef, plan to dine in at the restaurant rather than ordering takeaway, where temperature drops quickly.

  • Explore Vegan and Gluten-Free Choices

    Diners navigating specific diets can request gluten-free options as well as dedicated plant-based dishes like vegan pho and vegetable sweet corn soup.
