The story

Pho Hoa has been ladling out beef noodle soup on Pasteur street since the late 1960s. The southern style means a slightly sweeter broth and a mountain of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, and lime on the side. It is busy, tourist-friendly, and still full of locals at breakfast.

If you only eat one bowl of pho in the city, this is the safe, iconic choice — deep beef broth, generous herbs plate, and a side table of youtiao and sweet extras that shows how the south does pho.
