Top Pho Spots in Saigon

Here is a list of the best Pho restaurants in Saigon, perfect for Pho enthusiasts, a Vietnamese specialty known worldwide. 

1. Most Popular: Pho Le

A longstanding Pho restaurant with excellent quality located in the Chinatown area of District 5. The streets and sidewalks here are filled with pedestrians, merchants, and motorbikes lining up at night. The large beef chunks are the highlight of the Pho, which is hailed as one of the best Pho spots in Ho Chi Minh City.

Address: 413- 415 Nguyen Trai Street, District 5.

2. Most Abundant: Pho Hoa Pasteur

Pho with Renaissance-style architecture, continuously expanding. Try the special dish, a lavish bowl of pho consisting of beef tripe, beef balls, sirloin, and beef tendon. You can also order the pork sausage wrapped in banana leaves. The broth is rich and flavorful with beef marrow, truly a feast in a bowl.

Address: 260C Pasteur, District 3.

3. 'Presidential Pho': Pho 2000

This is where Bill Clinton stopped by and enjoyed Vietnamese pho in 2000. Although seafood paired with pho may seem strange, here, it's a main dish, and they also serve some dishes like at McDonald’s. Clinton enjoyed pho here during his time fostering reconciliation between Vietnam and the United States.

Address: 1-3 Phan Chu Trinh Street, District 1.

4. Pho for Drivers: Pho Tau Bay

The address of the Pho spot favored by drivers is in District 10, where the pho here combines sirloin and flank. During peak hours, most customers eat in the adjacent alley. The shop consumes about 200 kg of beef daily.

Address: 433-435 Ly Thai To Street, District 10.

5. Up-and-coming Spot: Pho No Name

During lunchtime, the Pho No Name spot within the premises of a university serves pho with rare beef (raw beef cooked by pouring boiling broth directly into the bowl). You can order beef balls after 5 p.m. but cannot stay long, as this area is leased by another shop during that time. The pho here seems much better than many other shops. Additionally, you can also order a refreshing glass of sugarcane juice at nearby shops.

Address: 7 Nguyen Thai Binh Street, Tan Binh District.
