A new Vietnamese spot, offering phở, vermicelli noodle bowls, grilled meat platters and more, has opened for business in the Central Business District. Called What The Pho, the fresh arrival is located at 1600 Champa St., Suite 110.
On the menu, expect to find plentiful beef-based phở options, like the bowl with brisket and flank steak, bean sprouts, basil, lime and jalapeños. Steak also appears in the shaken beef steamed rice platter, featuring wok-seared cubes of marinated tenderloin with black peppers, garlic, soy sauce and oyster sauce.
But there's also a vegan phở option with veggie broth, tofu and an assortment of vegetables. Customers can finish the meal with desserts like a fruity boba smoothie or homemade banana and coconut ice cream.
With a 4.5-star rating out of nine reviews on Yelp so far, What The Pho has already made a good impression.
"How can anyone not like a restaurant with such a cool name?" said Christina M., explaining phở was her go-to meal after developing laryngitis. "During my second visit, the same waitress noticed I was still sick and saw that I mostly ate the broth (the broth was making me feel better). When I finished the broth, she was so nice and gave me more broth ... What excellent service."
"This place is the bomb," Yelper Rich A. added. "Flavors are vibrant and the ingredients are very fresh."
Head on over to check it out: What The Pho is open from 10 a.m.–9 p.m. on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
