Pho Hoa in Dorchester is your go-to destination for comforting bowls of pho and a rainbow of Vietnamese flavors, elegantly blending classics in a casual setting.
"Pho Hoa and Anh Hong, two restaurants that have defined the culinary scene of Dorchester’s Little Saigon since their openings in the early 1990s, celebrated a fortuitous marriage this Lunar New Year, unveiling a joint menu under their new partnership. The house special rice clay pot with seafood is a sizzling delight, piled with squid, crab, scallops, and shrimp so generous it reminded me of my grandma’s portions." - Erika Adams
"Pho Hoa is our choice for best bowl of pho. The tables here each hold a pantry’s worth of chili paste and hot sauce, but you don’t need them - the rich, flavorful broth is good enough on its own. One day, some enterprising spa owner is going to make a killing by providing Pho Hoa broth baths." - dan secatore
"Pho Hoa, now hosting Anh Hong’s team, serves Anh Hong’s seven-course beef menu and more. The restaurant continues to be a staple of Dorchester's Vietnamese dining scene." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"This restaurant offers Vietnamese meatballs in pho bo vien, a noodle soup with beef meatballs that have a springy texture and are flavored with fish sauce." - Karen Wilber
"Phở Hòa has been doing its thing on Dorchester Avenue since 1992. Yes, the pho — and especially the pho hai san, which is served with shrimp, squid, and fish cakes — is excellent and worthy of your hard-earned dough. But don’t miss the sweet and sour soup with catfish or the wok-seared pepper steak." - Terrence Doyle
