Phosho Dough (SAN PABLO AVE)

I’m from the east coast, Philadelphia.. Been eating phó my entire life and let me tell you.. I have NEVER had a bowl of phó as good as the one I got here. Hands down the most flavorful bowl I’ve ever ate anywhere. Service was fast, amazing people, and a relaxing cozy environment. Truly an amazing experience all around. Highly recommend this spot to anyone! I got the grilled fish rolls and the sliced beef and beef balls, *extra beef balls* with the spicy stuff paste for that extra kick

I love this place. Best banh mi hands down. Generous fillings, and attention to detail - even the carrots are amazing! They make their own mayo and paté as well. The bread is specially baked for them, and is the perfect soft-on-the-inside/crispy-on-the-outside loaf that a proper banh mi commands. My second love there is the "fried egg rolls wrapped in spring rolls." Pure genius of texture and flavor that is the best of both worlds. Oh, that egg roll crunch combined with crisp cucumber and herby goodness, all dipped in a savory sauce! I could eat those every day. And don't get me started on the pho! I don't get it too often because I end up finishing it all, and it's sleepy time for me about an hour later! I recommend anything with grilled fish. I'm mainly a pescatarian, so this is what I've tried. My omnivore friends profess their love for the other things on the menu. I've told many friends to go there, and now some of them go sometimes two days in a row! There is street parking right outside (metered), and you can find free parking around the corner in the residential streets off Gilman. There are both indoor and outdoor seating, the latter an enclosed patio with transparent roofing. Portions are generous, and there is attention to detail in every ingredient. This is very intentional. I enjoy their posts on social media, too. The only downside to PhoSho is realizing you've taken the last bite! The guys here that run the place are fantastic! They are really trying to do something special there, and are succeeding at it. When you're there, have a look around at the art - full wall and ceiling murals representing Vietnamese and Asian culture surround you. I feel so at home there!

Try the Twisted Thai Tea, a strange and wonderful mix of Thai iced tea and Vietnamese iced coffee. I was slightly skeptical, but I'm glad that my curiosity triumphed. My lemongrass beef pho was flavorful and and perfectly executed. Service was fast and friendly. The space is comfortable... don't forget to look up at the beautiful murals on the ceiling. As the kids say "10/10. No notes."

Great portions with excellent homemade taste! Staff is friendly and helpful. The chicken broth soup really hit the spot on a chilly day. Had chicken spring roll and grilled pork Banh Mi. Everything tasted great. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Perfect for a quick meal or hangout with friends and family. I would love to come back to try their pho.

The food is top-notch! Served in real fancy ceramic bowls with good quality ingredients. There is also a lovely Buddha statue made out of marble. We spoke to the parent of the owner for about five’s minutes and really liked them. I would return in a heartbeat. 💓
