Number One Phở

Andy Luu

I saw the menu online and was surprised to find that the prices are double what is on the menu. In addition to this, the people there don’t even speak Vietnamese. In terms of food, there are a few pros and cons. Their bún bò hue was decent in taste, but it was $18! Their goi cuon were not rolled very well and has too much noodles with no herbs. Overall, I would not recommend this place.

Today, I went to Number One Pho for maybe the third or fourth time. The food and service were excellent as always. This time, I ordered the summer roll and pork banh mi. The summer roll was not really to my taste, but was decent nonetheless, and I think good from a more objective standpoint. The banh mi, however, was absolutely amazing. The salty and savory grilled pork blended perfectly with the crusty baguette, spicy jalapeños, sour pickled carrot and radish, and herbaceous cilantro. My only criticism is that there was not more of it! In the past, I have ordered the restaurant's namesake dish (pho) and I loved it just as much as the banh mi, if not more. Easily the best I have had in town. If a friend asked me which Vietnamese restaurant downtown I would recommend, I would say Number One Pho.

Spicy Lemongrass Pho and summer rolls are fantastic! I was there on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t busy and service was quick.

Smaller shop. Older and dated. Descent food. Price more on the higher end. The pho was okay. Good broth. Rice was not how many kids had expected. Tasted different. Good egg rolls. Spring rolls was okay, stuff with lots of noodle. Quick service. Friendly and helpful staff. Street parking, close to downtown.
