Wife got pho ga and it was some of the best tasting broth I’ve had in a long time (born and raised in Houston but moved away to a city with not great Viet food) I got the pho bo dac biet kho which was also very tasty and unique! Only ever had pho ga kho but this was delicious!

Phò Tân Hòa one of the best quality Phò in The City (*not “Da San Ho,” of course) established in TL since late 1980s and current owners who are brothers used to be employees at old joint after former owner retired sometime before the Pandemic. Anyway, “picture speaks for itself” and to sum up imhv: ❶soup base (the Vietnamese dashi which is the soul of Phò or any Asian noodles) is not mere powder like many other Pho restaurants use they were actually made by beef bones simmering for hours (ideally traditionally would be the oxtail but common let’s be realistic); ❷quantity of ingredients that are a variety: rare beef steaks (*on the side, my favorite 😉), beef tendons, tripes, flanks, brisket, beef meatballs and fresh herbs including basil leaves, cilantros, mint, rau răm (Vietnamese coriander), bean sprouts, lime slices and jalapenos. ❸ Large bowl #7! Aprovecho! (Buena para la cruda 😂)

This place is really good. The pho and the bun bo hue are top notch. It’s a hole in the wall in the best way, the food is super good, the customers are all regulars and there are no frills. We discovered it on a trip a couple years ago and make it a must visit every time we’re in town. The neighborhood around the restaurant is in kind of rough shape, so I hope people come to support. You won’t be disappointed!
