Small place for largely satisfying meals
Friday, August 12, 2005
Pho Hoa is located right on the corner of Broadway and Argyle next to a grocery store, and I have to say it's my favorite of the Pho in Vietnamese town. Depending on your level of comfort, you can try the basic pho with beef or get the works with tripe, meatballs, tendons... you get the point. The large bowl is enough to satisfy a hungry grown man/woman, and you might want to get a small if you're just kinda hungry or if it's your first Pho experience. I recommend adding all the condiments (the way I was taught my first time), the hot sauce, plum sauce, a drizzle of fish oil, and definitely don't forget the lime and cilantro. Just thinking about it makes me hungry!
The best part is that it's conveniently located near an L stop or near parking, which can be tricky on weekends.The place is fairly small, and the atmosphere is casual, usually a good place to go with small groups of friends or one other person. The pricing is just right at about 6 bucks a bowl. You'll have to try it for yourself. SOOOooo good.
