iPho by Saigon serves hearty, quick, and affordable Vietnamese classics—renowned for massive pho bowls and killer banh mi in a casual, no-fuss spot.
"For a $10(ish) bowl of pho, iPho’s regular or extra-large size does the trick — but the best deal on this menu might be the restaurant’s famous 10-pound jumbo pho, which clocks in at $16.25. This bowl is meant for sharing, and often comes served with an industrial-size soup ladle. iPho offers every kind of meat combo imaginable, from a seafood medley to brisket and flank steak; this broth runs a little on the sweet side, and is laced with anise and cloves." - Justine Jones, Alex Lodner
"Slip into this popular Frogtown pho restaurant, which offers every kind of meat combo imaginable, from a seafood medley to brisket and flank steak. This broth runs a little on the sweet side and is laced with anise and cloves." - Justine Jones, Joy Summers, Eater Staff
"iPho by Saigon may be best known for its namesake pho, laced with anise and served in bathtub-like 10-pound bowls. But the restaurant also serves some of the best banh mi in the Cities. Smeared with yolk-yellow mayo and fatty pate, layered with pork loaf or grilled meatballs, these banh mi barely leave room for the requisite pickled veggies and cilantro." - Justine Jones, Eater Staff
"This laid-back counter spot has some of the best Vietnamese food—and biggest portions—in town. The 10-pound jumbo phở is essentially a cauldron filled with beef broth so soulful and aromatic, you’d think it has actual magical healing properties. Also, ask for “The Regular Sandwich” filled with red roast pork and nicely pickled vegetables on a crusty baguette slathered with pâté. You’ll always have leftovers, which is great because second lunch tastes better back home on the couch." - stacy brooks
