"The southernmost stop on Eat Street’s remarkable pho trail, Pho Tau Bay’s steaming bowls have a strong, beefy both that’s balanced by bunches of fresh basil. The Lai family’s menu leans heavily into beef, from tripe and tendon to meatballs and lean sliced beef — though the seafood pho is especially hearty, combining shrimp with crab meat and fried fish balls." - Eater Staff
"Pho Tau Bay is one of the favorite spots in the area." - Eater Staff
"Standing in the shadow of the storied Lake St. K-mart is pho powerhouse Pho Tau Bay. Eat Street is stacked with knockout Vietnamese restaurants, but Pho Tau Bay stands out for its ample portions, complex, anise-kissed pho broth, and vast menu of broken rice platters, bun salads, and weekend-exclusive rice porridges. Take a minute to admire the collection of colorful plastic figurines at the counter." - Natalia Mendez
"Though the broken rice platters and noodle soups are always excellent at this vibrant Eat Street eatery, don’t miss the rotating specials on the weekend menus: numbingly spicy dried pepper curries, thin rice noodles redolent of fish sauce, silken tofu braised in an unctuous tomato-beef froth." - Julie Yu
