Pho Ha

"Meet the no-bullshit phở spot of our dreams. At this strip mall spot at 6th and Washington, you sit at a communal table, order, and eat within five minutes. Don't take the efficiency as a signal that the food isn't deeply considered. This is the richest beef broth in the city, and every bowl has a generous portion of meat. " - alison kessler

"Maybe you want to treat yourself but you’re on a budget. That’s where pho comes in. One of our favorite spots to get a brothy, beefy bowl is at Pho Ha in Little Saigon. It’s the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point pho spot of our dreams. You’re seated at a communal table, ordered, and served within five minutes. Grab an order of the crispy shrimp and pork spring rolls and the rare steak pho for less than $20. " - alison kessler

"Pho Ha is the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point pho spot of our dreams. You’re seated at a communal table and served within five minutes at the strip mall restaurant at 6th and Washington. But the sparse decor and efficient service is not a reflection on the food—this broth, perhaps our favorite in the city, has the richest beef flavor of any we’ve tried, and every bowl is packed with large portions of meat. " - alison kessler

"Like Pho 75, Little Saigon’s Pho Ha doesn’t dillydally when it comes to getting steaming hot bowls of broth and noodles on tables. Order pho tai with rare steak or pho chin nac with brisket and there’s a good chance that the main event will arrive even before drinks like salty plum sodas and avocado smoothies. The comforting food is also available at sibling locations on South Philly’s Oregon Avenue and in Lawncrest." - Diana Lu, Caroline Coral

"Pho Ha is the no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point pho spot of our dreams. A strip mall corner restaurant at 6th and Washington, you’re seated at a communal table, order, and served within five minutes. But the sparse decor and efficient service is not a reflection on the food–this broth, perhaps our favorite in the city, has the richest beef flavor of any we’ve tried, and every bowl is packed with large portions of meat." - Alison B.
