Phở Ba

"It’s a little ironic that one of the options at the most exclusive lounge areas is pho, normally an affordable meal. Here it’s served at a fun — if complicated — station: The broth is poured through a pour-over-coffee-esque setup that infuses it with ginger and other aromatics, then you pour the broth over noodles and add toppings, including ribeye from a carving station. This wasn’t our favorite thing at the media tasting preview, but it’s worth trying if you’re in the freakin’ Moet and Chandon Imperial Lounge." - Harry Cheadle

"You can still see the missing “C” on the original “Pho Bac” sign outside, but Pho Ba in the C-ID is worthy on its own. It’s a no-nonsense shop with straightforward service by staff with limited English-speaking ability, and it’s a cash-only operation. Steamy, hot pho comes to the table quickly after ordering, which is ideal if you’re seated anywhere near the slow-closing front door on a cold day." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle, Jay Friedman

"Famed International District mainstay Pho Bac recently opened up the parking lot outside its well-known boat-shaped restaurant for an outdoor party of sorts with fried chicken masters Mangosteen x Boba Bar." - Gabe Guarente

"Little Saigon’s well-known Vietnamese restaurant Pho Bac offers two takeout options: ready-to-eat pho for pickup, or meal kits with instructions on preparation. There are also family meal combos and take-home bottles of wine." - Gabe Guarente

"Pho Bac, the business that started Seattle’s love affair with the namesake Vietnamese soup, has temporarily closed its iconic boat-shaped flagship restaurant to renovate the interior. The building should reopen in early 2019 with a modernized interior, a full bar, and fresh menu items, but with its quirky, fire-engine-red exterior intact." - Megan Hill
