Phở Út Nhung
The alley pho shop decades deep — sweet, rich southern broth, every bowl piled high.
Beef pho in the morning, bo kho by afternoon
Each part of the day has its dish — beef pho and bun bo Hue in the morning, the bo kho pot by afternoon.
Morning · Beef pho
The day opens with the sweet rich broth pot — a steaming beef pho for the morning.
Midday · Bun bo Hue
At midday, spicy bun bo Hue joins the beef pho.
Afternoon · Bo kho
By afternoon it is the bo kho pot — tender braised beef, with banh mi.
The generous bowl
Nothing fussy — just full: broth, toppings, herbs.
What to order at Ut Nhung
