Soup season is here! There is nothing more satisfying than a warm bowl of soup to rejuvenate your body during these chilly months. Personally, no soup cures my Winter ailments quite like pho and if you’re craving something that satisfies your stomach or if you’ve been wanting to try something new, look no further because we have curated a list of the BEST pho spots in the area (according to locals).
What is pho?
Pho is a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup dish. It is typically topped with different herbs and meats such as beef, chicken, or seafood. It is considered Vietnam’s national dish and is served in households, sold by street vendors, and in restaurants. Additionally, Hmong people have adopted the dish over the years, and it is now a staple in Hmong cuisine! If you’ve never tried pho before, it is a hearty, flavorful broth with a balance of textures—smooth, crispy, soft, and chewy—that all come together in every spoonful. It feels like comfort and excitement all at once, and it leaves you feeling satisfied but not overly full. It’s a kind of soul-satisfying meal.
