Anatomy of the morning bowl
Southern pho — a clear, gently sweet broth, with bean sprouts, herbs, lime and chili to your taste.
Three signature bowls
The shop publishes no price board — here are the three signature bowls, described without prices.
Rare-beef pho
Tender rare beef — flashed just done in the hot broth.
Brisket pho

Fatty-flank pho
Rich beef flank — for those who like their morning hearty.
