When you step into Pho Island Restaurant, the first thing that hits you is the aroma—savory broths, sizzling meats, and the unmistakable scent of fresh herbs. Their menu is a love letter to Vietnamese cuisine, packed with dishes that are both comforting and bursting with flavor.
Start your meal with an appetizer that sets the tone. The Khai Vi Dac Biet is a must-try, offering a carefully curated selection of Vietnamese starters, while the Cha Gio (crispy fried spring rolls) delivers a delightful crunch with a savory filling that pairs perfectly with the house fish sauce.
For noodle soup lovers, the specialty section is where magic happens. The Hu Tieu Dac Biet is a standout, combining tender slices of pork, shrimp, and quail eggs in a rich, clear broth that warms the soul. If you're a seafood enthusiast, the Hu Tieu Do Bien is a delightful medley of shrimp, squid, and crab meat swimming in a fragrant bowl of umami-packed goodness.
Looking for a handheld delight? The Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) are pure perfection. The Banh Mi Thit Nuong features smoky, charred grilled pork nestled inside a crispy baguette with pickled veggies, fresh cilantro, and just the right touch of mayo. Meanwhile, the Banh Mi Bo Nuong swaps in grilled beef for an equally satisfying bite.
Rice dishes bring bold flavors and hearty portions. The Com Chien Tom (shrimp fried rice) offers wok-kissed grains with plump, juicy shrimp, while the Com Chien Bo delivers a rich and savory twist with tender beef.
And for those craving stir-fried goodness, their rice noodle dishes won’t disappoint. The Hu Tieu Xao Ga (stir-fried chicken rice noodles) is smoky, slightly chewy, and packed with flavor, while the Hu Tieu Xao Tom takes it up a notch with fresh shrimp tossed in a perfectly balanced stir-fry sauce.
Every dish at Pho Island Restaurant tells a story—one of tradition, bold flavors, and a passion for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Whether you’re slurping down noodles or savoring a bite of banh mi, you’ll find something to love on this menu.
