We were only in Ho Chi Minh City for 3 days and our self-imposed itinerary was jam-packed, so I knew we had just one chance to get to Pho Hoa. We found the right street, so we figured it would be a short walk to find it. But, it was a LONG street, so a good 30 minutes after we started walking.....
We found it!
The Menu
Each table is laid out with this food awaiting your pho
Its here!
Yum!
Time to dig in!
Pho (pronounced fu with a "short u") is a simple, rice noodle soup that is Vietnamese through and through, eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner alike. 1000 Places states "If you've only sampled it elsewhere, prepare yourself: The pho you have here will be like nothing you've tasted before." It goes on to say the Pho Hoa is "perhaps the best known of the country's thousands of noodle restaurants."
Verdict: I tried pho many times during my time in Vietnam, and this was definitely one of the best! But, regardless, I don't think this particular place is a "must do" before you die.... maybe because I don't think eating pho from any place is a "must do." However, if you find yourself in HCMC/Saigon and have a taste for pho..... it's worth checking out!
