This unassuming Tenderloin spot serves up rich, authentic pho and flavorful noodles, making it a must-visit for both locals and tourists.
"Broth is key to a good bowl of phở, so going for a version where the broth is served separately might feel like committing a mortal sin. But, the dặc biệt phở kho at Phở Tân Hòa in the Tenderloin will rewrite your entire phở-eating philosophy. Long egg noodles are backed by a crew of peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe, and rare steak. Drizzle on some chili oil and dunk everything in the broth that’s served on the side, performing a constant, back-and-forth of dipping and slurping. Get a creamy cà phê sữa đá for a wake-me-up kick to get you out of your post-phở slumber." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"This longtime Tenderloin favorite is a neighborhood staple for its dark, flavorful Southern-style beef pho, but its most distinctive offering is probably the #26 pho kho — a dry-style beef pho that comes with all the fixings, but with the broth served on the side for sipping. And for those looking for a spicier, punchier Vietnamese noodle soup, Pho Tan Hoa is also one of a handful of spots in the city that serves a reputable bowl of bun bo Hue." - Paolo Bicchieri, Luke Tsai
"The menu at this giant Vietnamese spot is longer than your never-ending to-do list, but focus on the phở, especially the dặc biệt phở kho. The rich, smooth broth is served on the side (it’s practically two dishes in one), and the long egg noodles come loaded up with peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe, and rare steak. Follow that up with the creamy cà phê sữa đá sweetened with condensed milk for the perfect wake-me-up kick. Just get here early because they close at 3pm and have no qualms about kicking you out immediately—they have a big space to clean. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
"The menu at this Vietnamese spot is about as long as a list of your ex’s grievances, but focus on the phở section, especially the dặc biệt phở kho. The rich, smooth broth is served on the side, so it’s practically two excellent dishes in one. The long egg noodles come loaded up with peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe, and rare steak. Add some chili oil to the noodles and dip them in the broth—it’s a constant back-and-forth between slurping and scooping. Then get the creamy cà phê sữa đá sweetened with condensed milk for the perfect wake-me-up kick. Just make sure to get here early because they close at 3pm and have no qualms about kicking you out. photo credit: Erin Ng photo credit: Erin Ng photo credit: Erin Ng photo credit: Erin Ng photo credit: Erin Ng" - Ricky Rodriguez
