Pho 43

Vietnamese restaurant · Parkwood

"West Phoenix may be known for its killer Mexican food, but Pho 43 makes a strong case for a burgeoning West Side Vietnamese scene. This tiny pink-and-white bungalow — which fits fewer than 50 seats — has been drawing loyal crowds since it first opened in 1992. Now run by the five siblings whose parents originally opened it, it’s the epitome of a mom-and-pop spot. Giant 10-inch bowls of pho arrive with all the fixings, including Thai basil, bean sprouts, and lime wedges; the pho dac biet piles on steak, flank, brisket, tendon, and tripe. For something beyond soup, the com chien thit xa xiu (fried rice with pork, chicken, and shrimp) is another favorite. Pho 43 is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except Tuesdays." - Mcconnell Quinn, Chris Malloy, Nikki Buchanan
