Editorial Review for Pho Cafe – by Kim Cooper
In Short
Rice noodles, wet and dry, are the staple of this affordable, trendy spot with its ultra-bright, ultra-orange retro look and young clientele. Classic pho soup is traditionally served with beef, or in a lighter chicken broth, garnished with bean sprouts, basil and hot peppers. The menu also includes fried egg rolls and steamed, noodle-packed spring rolls, fresh ginger tea and numerous vegetarian options. When the room is full, it can get very noisy.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoCredit cards aren't accepted, but $15 cash should be sufficient to cover food and a drink.
What to DrinkThere's no hard liquor--only beer and sake.
ParkingThe lot can get a little frantic, so savvy diners look for street parking along Sunset.
Look GoodDon't be confused by the lack of a sign. Just look for the long room illuminated with a line of globe lamps.

There is no sign out front so it is hard to find but once you do you will not be disappointed. The place is always packed with a line out the door but it moves quickly. The Pho is the delicious! A MUST try!
Pros: Healthy
Cons: Hard to find with no signage.

I realize I've never had "real" pho as I am vegetarian, but it's definitely a satisfying, tasty, huge bowl of soup, and I'm loving the other vegetarian dishes on the menu. Great place to go get a big bottle of beer with friends and down those noodles and mushrooms. There are some great waiters there, but have had a couple stinkers. Nothing horrible, but they might just take a few extra minutes to bring the check. You know they work their butts off all day because that place gets really busy around 7-8pm. The food is great, you know it's all fresh, and it's definitely a hip scene. Seen a few famouses there as well.
Pros: Veggie/vegan friendly, pretty cheap for a huge meal, great food
Cons: Can be really busy
