Where To Get Pho Noodles?

Our favorite place to eat ph in Williamsburg is High L’a, and we especially suggest their traditional beef or chicken options. Here, the flavor of the broth is more dependent on aromatics than on salt. In fact, there’s so much going on that you might want to think twice about adding hoisin or chili paste to your ph even if you normally do. We enjoy the texture even though the noodles are a little thicker than at some other places.

Since the early 1990s, this Sheepshead Bay institution has been a local favorite; it’s time for more people to learn about it. The noodles have a pleasant chew, and the light but flavorful broth is delicious. The traditional dish is the #1 ph, which includes a small portion of everything beef. However, for a little variety, we also enjoy ordering a bowl of noodle soup with a perfectly charred pork chop on the side.

A beef and a chicken ph are both offered at this Vietnamese restaurant on the LES. The latter, which includes broth that tastes like it has been cooking for at least two days straight, is what we prefer. The soup has a pleasant sour flavor and is loaded with herbs, onions, and fat, boneless pieces of chicken. Grab some prepackaged goods like pandan coconut jelly and mung bean rice balls as you leave.

Thái Sơn is a Chinatown classic for a reason. The extensive menu has good food throughout, but many patrons come here exclusively for the ph. If a standard-size bowl isn’t big enough for you, you can upgrade to an extra large for about a dollar. Their broth is especially rich and salty. We like to order some incredibly crispy spring rolls to end our meal.

Think back to your most embarrassing moment from the previous year. Similar to that, the Ph. Bac at this well-known East Village establishment will have you obsessively thinking about it for days. The filet mignon and brisket are excellent, the broth is flavorful and rich, and the generous amounts of chopped cilantro and pickled garlic really make this bowl of soup stand out. We’d love to use this combination of ingredients in everything we make at home, but none of our apartments can accommodate a large pot of simmering beef bones, ginger, and star anise.

Although the only bowl of noodle soup available at this Bushwick restaurant is that, purists may object to the idea of a vegetable-based pho that appeals to the meat-eating regulars. Three hours are spent simmering a flavorful but light broth with mushrooms, star anise, charred shallots, and ginger. Thick, hand-carved strips of brisket that have been 14 hours smoked over mesquite and applewood are available as a beef topping.

When the Vietnamese comfort-food restaurant first opened, it sparked new expectations for pho grandeur in the blogosphere. The pho bac is lovely in its pared-down simplicity. Instead of adding additional ingredients, the kitchen focuses entirely on the intense beefiness of the 16-hour simmered bones, doubling down on that meaty depth with chunks of Black Angus filet mignon and brisket that swim among the slick rice noodles.

Owners Tuan and Huy Bui opened this modest establishment in an effort to bring more authentic Vietnamese food to New York. The interior was created to resemble a street alley in Saigon. It includes a mobile food cart that serves banh mi sandwiches with ingredients like char siu pork belly as fillings. The eatery also specializes in pho, which consists of rice noodles, bean sprouts, Thai basil, and lime in a chicken, beef, or mushroom broth.
