About Pho No.1

Generous, clear-simmered Vietnamese noodle soups take center stage in an exceptionally tidy dining room. Regulars head straight for the slow-simmered beef pho—clean broths prepared without MSG—paired with tender brisket and slippery rice noodles that hold their bite. The kitchen caters to exact personal preferences, letting diners choose raw or cooked bean sprouts, house pickled onions, or a rich egg yolk dropped directly into the hot soup. Plates of fragrant cơm tấm arrive piled high with grilled pork chops and steamed meatloaf, alongside warm cups of complimentary tea.

  • Clean, Slow-Simmered Broth: Broths are simmered for hours without MSG, producing a clean, non-greasy profile that lets aromatics and beef flavors stand out.
  • Custom Garnish & Add-Ins: Bowls are tailored to order with selections of raw or blanched bean sprouts, pickled onions, and egg yolk in broth.
  • Spotless Room & Family Portions: Generously portioned noodle soups, broken rice combos, and quick hospitality make it an easy fit for family tables.
