Editorial Review for Pho Hoa Restaurant – by Laura Reiley

The Cuisine
This chain-restaurant menu offers sections devoted to training-wheels pho, garden-variety pho, and stunt pho for the true adventurers, all priced at $4.20 for a small bowl (enormous) and $5.10 for a large (scary big).

Bites We Like
The basic steak pho brings a mound of paper-thin meat slices cooked strictly by the piping hot broth. A cold vermicelli bowl is equally successful, with smoky marinated pork slices and a pile of little fried spring rolls to liven up the simple vermicelli noodles, crunchy iceberg and carrots.

Great Broth
The broth at Pho Hoa is perhaps the best around--clear and savory.

The Setting
Perhaps the most hospitable to pho neophytes, Pho Hoa is bright and cheery, with freshly painted teal walls and great menus that provide detailed pictures of the dishes.

Insider Tips

Pho Business

It's the Vietnamese national breakfast, but it's catching on here for lunch and dinner as well.

Say It Right

It's pronounced fuh, like "foot" without the "t".

Say Sriracha

The most important pho doctoring tool is a bottle of Sriracha chili sauce.

Good location, quick decent food during the rush lunch hour time. But it is a bit pricey for the value.

Pros: location

With so many Vietnamese restaurants in the South Bay I would not waste another $4+ here. The broth was bland.

Pros: Fast

Cons: Bland
