Pho Grand

A fixture of the city's ethnic-restaurant scene and one of the anchors of South Grand's bustling commercial strip, Pho Grand offers the Vietnamese dishes most beloved in America at relatively low prices. A good place to start for newcomers to Vietnamese cuisine is the bo or ga xao xa ot - beef or chicken stir-fried with chile peppers and the signature Vietnamese flavor, lemongrass. Other favorites include bun - big bowls of vermicelli topped with various combos of egg rolls, meat and vegetables - and the classic beef noodle soup and cure-all, called pho.
