Best Pho in Dallas

it's never too hot to eat pho.. I could probably name 5 places for top candidate, but Pho Bang has a slight edge for the top spot.

If I knew how to cook Pho, or run a restaurant, or trusted someone to do it for me, I'd open up a restaurant with a name similar to this one:



I think I would call it:
Pho King
Awesome Soup



Too many to list in Dallas.

There needs to be a California invasion of cool Pho restaurant names. Like these lol

Used to be a joint in Garland called Saigon Kitchen that was pretty good. Don't know if it is still open. Bun bo Hue is the only type of pho I eat and it was pretty good there.

Bun Bo Hue is not Pho, it is soup, but not the same noodles which defines Pho, as the Huffington article states.

btw, if you REALLY want to pronounce it right,, it is not "foe" or "fuh". it is more precisely pronounced in between "fuh" and "fur".

Pho bang in garland. Can't beat it. Worth the drive. Lots of limes and sirachi. I like it spicy no on the sweet sauce. I think it's plum sauce. Not bad taste I just like mine spicy. Pho Bang!!
Pho Pasteur is great. I live out east now, so I go to que huong, 45 mint, and occasionally bistro b, but Pho Pasteur is my place. I went to college at UTA and used to eat there between classes. The guy that runs it is really cool, he's been there a very long time. He still recognizes me when I go in, he's a class act.
PHO Rocks!
whenever I visit Dallas, Vietnam Bar & Grill, on Bryan street is my go to place for Pho. Crimson Pho on Blackburn is another place that serve Pho but, its just alright in a pinch. Originally Posted by yohimbebrother

I know it's in one of those asian malls and some of you pho snobs would probably turn your nose up at it but I kinda like noodlelicous in the Cali saigon mall.
I usually end up hurting myself eating too much when I hit those places and need a nap afterwards.

Pho pasteur is okay but I hate the texture of their meatballs. I did get the rice porridge and asian chicken salad combo once. Mix the salad in the rice porridge and it was pretty tasty. More places need to see the chicken rice soup like they do in California pho places. The rice porridge concoction is the closest I could get.

My vote is for Pho Pasteur. I like fatty brisket and tendon.

Pho Bay recently opened in Plano and is good. Try their avocado smoothie. When not there I choose Pho Pasteur.
Hop A Plane To Hanoi.....It's The Best Just kidding about hopping on a plane...but there is the best I ever had...and I'm heading there soon ...but someone did mention one in Garland on Jupiter by Saigon Market, It's pretty darn good...Anyway good luck...hope you find one you like better
well, the food was pretty good, it's just anything but authentic.. only been once, because my Nephew was in town, and we happened to go by there.. he suggested it.. instead of calling it Vietnamese, they should say "Pan-Asian" or something, that would be more accurate.. that's basically true of all of these newer, "trendy" spots, Da Lat, I Luv Pho, and the rest..

but like Adonis hints at, there's a big difference between authentic and not.. you can guess fairly easily what is and what's not by the name, neighborhood, and how many Vietnamese eat there..

Pho is not supposed to be trendy.. it is a poor man's meal.. really.. there's a reason it dates back Centuries, and is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner.. it's cheap to make, quick to serve.. every Vietnamese Lady knows how to make it.. just like cereal or eggs & bacon here..

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pho Crystal on the border of Allen and Fairview off of Stacy Rd. Best pho in the DFW area hands-down and I eat it at least once a week. The owner lady is a saucy MILF and her daughters are super hot - just a couple perks. Seriously though, go there and tell me it's not the best pho you've ever had.
