Yelper Kendal M. wrote, "Excellent! I've been to a few phở places and am trying to find my go-to phở restaurant. I just found it! Delicious, generous portions and great service. The atmosphere was nice. I don't remember my specific phở that I ordered, but it had a red broth base. Perfect."
2. Pho & Grill
Next up is Pho & Grill, situated at 4954 Overton Ridge Blvd. With four stars out of 269 reviews on Yelp, the Vietnamese spot, which offers bubble tea and more, has proven to be a local favorite. It has another highly popular location on Camp Bowie Boulevard in Ridglea North.

(See the full menu here.)
Skoot E. said, "Awesome phở shop. They give generous amounts of basil and bean sprouts with the phở. The phở itself had a good balance of ingredients and the soup was delicious. Spring rolls were perfect. The shop is in a nice plaza as well, so parking is easy."

4. Pho Hung
Over in Ridglea Hills, check out Pho Hung, which has earned four stars out of 111 reviews on Yelp. You can find the Vietnamese spot, which offers soup and more, at 6399 Camp Bowie Blvd.

Natalie W. said, "Best phở I have had in the area! Some places have mostly liquid in their phở bowls, but this one was full of noodles and meat. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks on the outside, and the fish tank is also cool."
5. Malai Kitchen
Finally, there's Malai Kitchen, a local favorite with four stars out of 103 reviews. Stop by 5289 Monahans Ave. to hit up the brewery, Thai and Vietnamese spot next time the urge strikes.

(See the menu here.)
Kristina M., who reviewed it on Aug. 31, said, "We started off with the Vietnamese meatballs, eaten like a lettuce wrap with fresh herbs! I had the Vietnamese barbecue pork ribs with green curry noodles for my entree, and finished with a favorite, mango sticky rice with a sweet coconut custard! I was so impressed with all the flavors and presentation!"
