1. Pho Nga
Pho Nga is a traditional Vietnamese beef pho restaurant. Located at 103 Nguyen Viet Hong, this spacious and airy pho shop in Can Tho is well-known among locals. The predominant color in the restaurant is white, making the space bright, clean, and inviting. The staff are friendly and efficient, offering a pleasant dining experience.
Pho Nga serves authentic Northern-style pho, mainly with rare beef, brisket, and meatballs. The broth is sweet and clear, with minimal MSG, and the meat is tender. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can request extra fat as the standard bowl does not include it. The accompanying herbs are always fresh and clean, and they offer free iced tea. A minor downside is that the pho noodles can be a bit scarce in the bowl, and during midday, the broth's aroma may become overwhelming due to the kitchen's proximity in a less-ventilated area.
