11 Phenomenal Bowls of Pho in the South Bay

"Pho Y#1 started in 1997 as the brainchild of two brothers who immigrated from Vietnam. Unlike many other pho spots in the area, Pho Y #1 has always had a rather modest menu that focuses just on pho — and doing it right. The Special Combo Pho clearly doesn’t skimp out on its various cuts of beef, including steak, well-done flank, brisket, soft tendon, and meatballs. This mix of cuts creates a complex, vibrant flavor in a broth that also bears a slightly sweet undertone. And because they run a lean operation, you can count on swift service." - Cathy Park
