" Pho Bac Cafe has transformed my opinion on pho! The flavors here are delightful, invigorating and remind me of my travels across Vietnam. However, it was quite busy, and I felt a bit overlooked by the staff. Overall, it was a worthwhile experience, and I’d happily return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having spent time in Vietnam, I can attest that Pho Bac Cafe captures authentic flavors wonderfully. The beef was tender, and the broth had the distinct umami note I’ve come to love.
