The house rules

Northern pho by the book

No raw herbs, no black hoisin — just lime, pickled garlic, Northern sauce, crullers. The rule since 1997.

No raw herbs

No plate of raw herbs — Northern style, the broth is fragrant enough.

No black hoisin

No black hoisin — Northern-style chili sauce only.

Lime · pickled garlic · Northern sauce

Served with exactly three things: lime, pickled garlic, Northern sauce.

Crullers

Crisp crullers for dunking in the broth — the shop’s only side.

The signature

Beef seared in the wok, then clear broth over — 75k, deluxe 90k (owner-quoted prices).
