2018-06-08 21:38:49My brother comes here all the time. I think its the only one he goes to for soup. To me, typical Vietnamese restaurant. Meets standard. Dont have to ask for sissors or extra bowls to serve kids. You can never have too much expectations for excellent service in any Asian restaurant. Good food and correct order is all u need.

2023-07-25 07:44:18I have been Vietnam and had Pho from the north and the south. Vietnam is a long country and occupies the east coast of Southern Asia. Northern pho known as pho “bac” which translates to north. It’s more simple there, just beef soup with the essential 5 spice seasoning and tender sliced beef with fresh ginger. Southern pho has the “dac biet” which translates to special. Southern pho is packed with sliced beef rounds, and a variety of parts from the cow. This includes tripe, tendon, brisket, and beef balls, no fresh ginger. Portions in Vietnam are much smaller than the states and cost almost half.Pho Hai has both, the Pho Bac and the Pho Dac Biet. But, what makes it even more special is they have sliced Kobe beef as an add on to their pho. OMG! Their Kobe is thick sliced, just enough marbling and just melts in my mouth.The bowls are enormous and can actually feed 2 person. It’s loaded with lots of meat, almost every bite has meat and noodles. They serve their pho with fresh Basil, herbs, bean sprouts, fresh cut jalapeño and slice of lemon.The heart of a good Pho is the base of their soup, they use beef bones cooked for hours to extract all the beefy flavor of the broth.When consuming pho, the first thing I do is to take a spoon and taste the broth before I go in for the kill. This is when you know you will enjoy the rest of your meal Or you know you will have dry mouth later from all the MSG. Many pho establishments skimp on using a lot of beef bones for the soup. Instead, they use MSG-mono sodium glutamate as a cheat. I never had a bad experience with Pho Hai, their soup is always on point.They have a few secret items that is not on their menu, my favorite is the beef bone with beef marrow. This item is only available after 2pm and on a limited basis. It comes in a giant plate with a knife and fork, lots of meat and tendon is still stuck on the bone. The bonus is the bone marrow, it’s rich and savory. Also provide is a home made roasted chili sauce, dip the tendon or meat in and life is great.

2023-06-16 20:26:25Great bowl of pho.Found this place randomly and you know an Asian place is good when it’s all Asians inside.Contrary to it being an Asian pho restaurant the service is awesome and homey. Super nice people running the place and the food is delicious. I love how they give you white pepper power to add to your pho.So good will be back!

2023-03-16 04:23:23Local dish made for locals. And it tastes great. Something about straight and simple. Crowd there are locals enjoying standard fare which is solid. Can’t go wrong.
