About this spot
Chez Pho anchors the Marché des Capucins with a bustling energy that feels like an authentic extension of Saigon's street food scene rather than a generic international chain. The broth is rich and aromatic, perfectly balancing the classic beef brisket pho with fresh herbs that cut through the savory depth. Expect to navigate a crowded counter where the chef ladles steaming bowls directly into your waiting hands.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order 'pho bo' for beef broth or 'pho ga' for chicken if you want to avoid pork-based stocks common in some variations.
- Bring cash only, as this spot rarely accepts credit cards and moves too fast for card terminals.
- Ask for extra bean sprouts and Thai basil before the bowl is sealed to ensure your herbs are fresh and crisp.
