[ad#right]I’ve become a big fan of Pho over the past few years, from my first Pho in Vegas to finding out about Pho Minh in Pittsburgh. I was browsing the Pittsburgh Tweetup website and I noticed they had a Pho event coming up. My first thoughts were that it would be held at Pho Minh, but it was scheduled to be at a place called Vietnam’s Pho. Being a big fan of Pho I was surprised I had never heard of Vietnam’s Pho before. I looked it up and they even had a website! I definitely wanted to check it out so my friend Colin and I headed down for the Tweetup.

Vietnam’s Pho is located on Penn Ave. in the Strip district and by 8PM we were able to find a parking spot right in front of the place. Inside we were greeted by a very helpful staff and to my surprise it was very nice inside. The staff was nice enough to pull tables together to fit our entire group. I ordered the #11 which is the Pho Tai-Sach, which has beef and tripe in it. I’ve really come to enjoy tripe in my Pho. In no time at all our food was done and we were served. Just like most Vietnamese places the portions were quite large and the food was great. It definitely contends with Pho Minh, but I haven’t been there in quite some time so I really cannot compare the 2 yet. I would recommend that anyone looking for good Pho in Pittsburgh try Vietnam’s out. I need to go back and try some of their other dishes! Here after some photos of the food and our group.

    It is what pho broth should be. So then on this rare occasion, I finished this huge bowl of pho without adding the hoisin sauce for pho and the red hot sauce. No I didn’t forget.

    Tripe is definitely an acquired taste, but once you’ve enjoyed it many would argue that it is one of the most delicious meals you can have!

    That looks positively yummy. I’m a huge connoisseur of all sorts of Asian cuisine, from Chinese and Thai to Vietnamese and Indian. :)

    Till then,

    I recent moved over to Pittsburgh from California and needed my Pho fix. Of course, people have to degrade the restaurant even before I set foot into it by saying “It’s not as good as California but it’s the best in Pittsburgh.” Due to those comments, I walked in here with an iffy mindset.

    I walk into this place with two things on my mind, Spring Rolls and Pho Tai(Rare Steak) so I can’t comment on the rest of the menu.

    The Spring Rolls were average. It was pretty simple. Meat, rice noodle and lettuce. It was decent but wasn’t satisfying.

    The Pho Tai was pretty decent as well. I can taste the difference in the soup to what I’m use to eating. The meat and noodles were good. The portions were pretty decent for a $8 bowl.

    Looks to me to be great food! I actually had the opportunity to eat my first Vietnamese food here at the university when they had some sort of Vietnamese chicken soup, but the name slips my mind at the moment :D

    Komodo Dragon, I think you’re referring to Pho Ga, which is a famous Vietnamese Chicken Noodle soup. :) It’s one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes.

    Till then,
