Phở Phượng

This place is on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list. The pho was decent but not sure it’s Michelin worthy. It’s all outdoor seating and the chairs are plastic stools. The check is determined by counting the number of bowls and glasses in the table. They won’t clear anything off the table because of this.

Definitely one of the better bowls of pho bo I've had in HCMC. I had the rare steak and flank steak mix. Beautifully tender. The soup was complex with the right level of pepper, heat, herbal for my taste buds. Price was good for the quality. Highly recommend.

Walked by and noticed the Michelin Gourmet poster. Had to try it so I ditched my plan and sat down on a table just by the corner of the street. I’m not too picky about cleanliness or atmosphere but it was annoying when I was approached by two old ladies trying to sell me lottery tickets. Flies kept on pestering me as well. Wish I sat indoors or something. Ordered the pho tai and lemonade. 87 k. Value wise, it was a good deal. Bowl was small and I sweared I asked for a large. Wasn’t sure if the bowl I got was a large or small. You’re gonna want two for a North American diet. Soup was flavourful and hot. Beef was decent and not chewy. There’s a chilli flake with oil that tasted great in my dipping sauce. Ate it pretty quickly but I was starving. It wasn’t amazing and felt like any pho restaurant I visited. If you came to this area for the lunch lady. Skip it and eat here instead.

Great bowl of Saigon-style Pho with rich rich beef broth and delicious meat cuts. Service was friendly and quick! I’m a fan. Apparently it’s also on Michelin Select list for 2 years now. Very decent price at 70k vnd/ bowl.

My impression after the first bite was that “Ok, this is good Pho. But I know the betters.” Everything is done right: the broth is rich but not too salty, the beef is tender, and I particularly like the skinny noodles - they are not the typical Pho noodle stripes. A decent Pho to try but honestly not an “oh wow” Michelin experience. A personal note for those who are MSG intolerant like myself. I’m quite sensitive to MSG and I experienced some symptoms after the meal (sweating palms, fluttering heartbeats, and nausea). So if you have the same problem, consider not to drink the broth 🥲🥲

michelin nominate pho shop. so so for me. used to eat here but i dont like the owner attitude towards customer problem ar parking so i quit for a long time. happen to deop by during a rainy night cause my favorite bun bo shop is out for vacation. 70k for apecial pho and 10k for the egg.

Me and my wife looked at a lot of different Pho places in the city but this one takes the cake. Their broth is top notch which the foundation of a great Pho bowl. Flavorful and fatty, and their meat selection is really good. We both got the special combo bowl (Dac Biet) and it was totally worth it. Come early if you want to miss the crowds. We went at 7am but they are open at 6am. Crowds starts at 8ish-10ish.

The place is filled with with posters to remind patrons that it's on the Michelin Bib Gourmand List. Specialty is the Ox Tail Pho - which was excellent.  But I don't think that it's been boiled for 40 hours (as claimed by the Michelin App). Good service.  A bit pricey compared to other pho in the city. PRO TIP:  It's located very near to the more famous Bourdain's "Lunch Lady".   Choose this - if you'd need to choose.
