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
ver·mi·cel·li
/ˌvərməˈCHelē,ˌvərməˈselē/
*pasta made in long slender threads*
Bύn – Vermicelli Rice Noodle –
Vermicelli Bun Shop 🔸-Rice Vermicelli topped with Scallion,Fried Shallots, Grilled Pork Chops, Grilled Shrimp and Spring Roll. served w. with Herbs, Cucumber, Lettuce, pickled Daikon Carrots & Peanuts.
The waitress was really nice and very tolerant of the questions I asked her.
Vietnamese soup consisting of broth, rice noodles.
This dish can be found at almost every food vendor in Vietnam.
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.
