Mỹ Châu Vietnamese Restaurant

This restaurant specializes in Phở that is Chicken soup based. Phở in general is the type of noodle that comes with your bowl of pho. So you could have beef pho, chicken etc. (There's really only these 2 types) This restaurant is one of my favorite places to go to. It's a small restaurant, but it's busy all the time. The one downer is, they close at 6pm, and don't open on Sundays. When coming here, I suggest eating the special Chicken Phở (deep fried), or the Clear Noodle chicken soup, also called: míen gà

And the great thing is, they both cost about $6.50ea on average, cheaper than your average bowl of Phở. The taste is great too! It doesn't taste like a crap load of msg soup like most places. Oh, and another thing is, the owners here have been in business for more than 10 years. My mom used to own the laundromat next door, about 10+ years ago(out of business now), and to this day, they're still here.

4 stars out of 5 stars


Prices here are great, food is great, just needs more of a cultural atmosphere. Still good though. It works and people go, so I'm not complaining.

What the Pho!?

Hi! I often hear a lot of people asking, where is the best place to eat pho?

First of all, How do we pronounce the word? It's pronounced "phuh", not phow, phoe, foe, but "phuh". To get even more politically correct phuh, with a question mark. Phở

The reason why I created this site, is to let you guys know the best places to eat pho, and Vietnamese food. First of all, I'd like to say that I am a true Vietnamese with true Vietnamese taste. I often go to Vietnamese restaurants with my non-Vietnamese friends and even when it's not good, I still hear them go crazy of how it tastes so good. (Probably their first time trying Pho). Pho in general has a taste that's different, it's not just chicken broth, with seasoning (simple to make) It takes 12 hours of preparation, in cooking the beef bones, and still only sells for an average of $7 a bowl.

So shall we start?
