Street Food

This flavorful,complex comfort food or “Street Food” is actually the Main Dish.

After seeing a couple of these restaurants around the city I wanted to find out what the PHO in PHO SHOP stood for.

This Pho-Shop opened on New York’s Upper West Side late last year,there is also one on the Upper East Side.

I decided I would do some hands on research at the Pho Shop.


Once inside the restaurant I was really impressed with the aesthetics.

The gold light fixtures and bamboo style wall figures really gave the place a cultural feel.

Next it was time to place my order,there was so much to choose from.

They had a really great lunch menu so I decided to order some Pho-Soup from there.

So after going over the menu a few times I decided to go with their Vermicelli | Bύn

The waitress was really nice and very tolerant of the questions I asked her.

What is PHO?

Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles.

Why is it called “Street Food”?

This dish can be found at almost every food vendor in Vietnam.

Why is Pho-Noodle considered a main dish and not a side dish?

Although its a soup dish traditionally its served as the main course.

Finally as I write this review we are in the middle of a Pandemic. As a result this restaurant as well as many others are closed for dine-in.

Needless to say I hope to visit this restaurant again as soon as this thing is over.
