6 pho places in Ho Chi Minh City we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Ho Chi Minh City | Pho across every city.
Pho in Saigon is a round-the-clock institution, literally: Pho Ha near the Bitexco tower runs 24 hours and Pho Quynh on Pham Ngu Lao barely closes. Pho Hoa Pasteur has poured its Bib Gourmand beef broth on the same District 3 corner since 1968, Pho Le draws crowds to Cho Lon for a rich, sweet Southern-style bowl, and Pho Phu Vuong on Le Van Si balances Northern depth with Southern generosity. None will cost much more than pocket change.
