The pho here was honestly amazing 🍲✨ The broth was rich, flavorful, and tasted so fresh. Portions were very generous with a lot of meat, and everything was served perfectly. We randomly found this place while walking around District 5 and were really impressed. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and definitely a spot we’ll come back to again 🤍

My favorite pho in Saigon! It is in a very well maintained and clean restaurant and the staff are very efficient and nice. It may be pricier than other pho around the city at around 100K VND per bowl, but I think it’s worth it.

Big delicious bowl of pho, very filling. I remember as a child before leaving for America my parents would take me here, now every time I come back to Vietnam this place is a must visit. The pho here is very nostalgic for me and it changes in flavors sometime but it’s always been good, affordable, and sanitary. This place does not skimp on the protein/ veggies that they give you. Definitely a must try!

I came all the way to District 5 to check out this famous Pho spot. I ordered the mixed beef Pho, and the broth was definitely the highlight—it was incredibly clear, sweet, and flavorful. However, I found the beef to be a bit overcooked for my personal preference. Next time, I would definitely go for the rare beef (Pho Tai) version to get that tender texture. ​While the food was good overall, I traveled here from District 1, and to be honest, I probably wouldn’t make the long trip specifically just to eat here again. But if you are already in the area, it is certainly a solid choice for a bowl of authentic Pho. Great taste, but maybe not worth a special cross-district journey if you're staying far away.

Pho did not disappoint, the soup was packed with flavour and was loaded with beef and meat. The food came really fast which is a factor of there many awards.
