Pho Ga
$12.50
Chicken pho with clear broth and fresh rice noodles.
Tip: This is the Northern style — no bean sprouts or basil on the side like you'd get at other pho spots. The broth is the star, so you don't need extras.

Pho Dac Biet

Special combination pho with brisket, flank, tendon, tripe, and beef balls.
