To many around the world, it’s pho. In its homeland, however, it’s phở. Regardless of how you say it, phở is a steaming bowl of slippery noodles in a broth of herbs and spices, popular with either beef or chicken. Here’s where you can find the best phở in Ho Chi Minh City.

1. Pho Hoa

Restaurant, Vietnamese

Pho Hoa has atmosphere, quality food, and a great location all wrapped up in a perfect bundle. It’s easy to find glowing reviews for this place, which is why it’s famous for its signature dish.

2. Pho Dau

Restaurant, Vietnamese

You won’t be blown away by a posh interior or lavish amenities, but Pho Dau is still worth a visit because it makes really good phở. You’ll need to wake up early to get a taste, because it closes at noon.

3. Pho Tinh

Vietnamese

Northern style phở has less greens and the broth is more soupy than its southern counterpart. For a try at northern style phở, check out Pho Tinh.

5. Pho Chay Nhu

Restaurant, Vietnamese, Vegetarian

If you prefer vegetarian food, make your way to Pho Chay Nhu. It’s down an alley, but finding this place is part of the experience.
