"A family-run Vietnamese restaurant long beloved by the Lagasse family; E.J. recalls, "I remember eating it at four years old, it was some of the first Vietnamese food that I had." The shop serves perfectly executed classics like rare beef pho and shrimp spring rolls, and those spring rolls inspired a canapés course on the fine-dining tasting menu after months of repeated orders." - Regan Stephens
"Pho Tau Bay is a family affair, with roots that reach back to Saigon in the 1960s when the family patriarch owned restaurants there. Spiced beef stew is a specialty here, served over rice noodles or warm French bread, but all the usual suspects are represented on the menu. There are also lots of good vegetarian dishes, a bonus." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff
"A local institution when it comes to pho and banh mi, this restaurant held down a longtime spot on the West Bank, but moved back to its original CBD location a few years back with counter service, a menu of hits, and broth that many consider the richest in town. Open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for dine-in, takeout, and delivery via third party apps. Closed Saturday and Sunday." - Eater Staff
"Pho Tau Bay is a family affair, as well as a locals favorite. Spiced beef stew is a specialty here, served over rice noodles or warm French bread in one of their many excellent banh mi options, which also includes the banh mi pate thit filled with chicken liver sausage and hot peppers." - Eater Staff
