There’s no need for you travel all the way to Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi just to satisfy your pho cravings. Singapore now has plenty of Vietnamese restaurants serving real pho-king good Pho.
So pho-rage ahead my fellow makan kakis, here are 8 top places to satisfy your pho cravings.
So Pho, So Good
1. Pho4U
For all my Muslim foodies out there, you know what I’m talking about. Pho4U is one of our favourite places to have halal pho that doesn’t compromise on it’s authenticity.
The broth is light and beef slices are so tender, you can’t help but want to order another bowl.
At just $8.50, you can get the basic pho which consists of half cooked steak and well done brisket. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can also get flank and meatballs in your pho.
Here’s a tip if you’re planning on dining here, get their Vietnamese coffee, hot or iced, it’s great.

The Combination Beef Pho ($14) is really light as compared to the usual pho you’d have in other places. However the meat is really tender and ties the entire dish together.
However, if you’re a spice girl, they’re known for the Spicy Australian Beef Noodles ($14). It’s not as spicy as you’d think it is but it’s definitely stronger in terms of flavour.
