Phở @ NoDa
A bowl of pho with rare beef, Thai basil, bean sprouts and lime, steaming on a dark wooden table

Phở, and everything after it

Rice noodles, grilled pork, bánh mì, and a wok section worth the detour.

A large stockpot of pho broth simmering with charred onion, ginger and a spice sachet

Everything starts with the broth

Bones, charred onion and ginger, and a sachet of spice, held at a simmer. Everything else in the bowl is assembly.

Phở is a broth dish before it is a noodle dish. The bones go in first and the pot sits at a simmer while everything else waits: the noodles, the beef, the plate of herbs you tear in yourself. Get the broth right and the rest is straightforward. Get it wrong and nothing in the bowl can save it.

Some of our favorites

The name says phở, and the broth earns it.

Lemongrass off the grill, something crisp out of the fryer, a wok that lands still hissing. Worth ordering something you cannot pronounce.
