About Pho Liem

Tucked into residential Preston, this two-decade family outpost dishes up comforting pho and hearty wok classics with genuine neighborhood warmth. Regulars treat the unpretentious dining room like an extension of home—where kids perch at the counter chatting with the owners while bowls of aromatic beef noodle soup arrive piping hot. Beyond the simmered broth, the kitchen delivers wok hei charred noodles, crisp homemade dim sims, and a dedicated vegetarian spread with fried tofu and spring rolls. Pair dinner with your own bottle for a low $1.50 corkage, rounded out with crispy lemon chicken or a generous plate of fried rice.

  • Longstanding family warmth: A fixture for more than twenty years, serving nourishing pho with the easy warmth of a family dining room.
  • Low-fee BYO: Guests can bring their own wine or beer for just $1.50 corkage to accompany hearty noodle bowls.
  • Dedicated vegetarian lineup: A standalone menu section offers meat-free options from vegetarian pho to crispy tofu and spring rolls.
