If you're on the hunt for a menu that balances comfort, authenticity, and vibrant flavor, Pho Tay delivers on all fronts. Let’s start at the top: their appetizers are a crisp, refreshing gateway into Vietnamese cuisine. The Vegan Spring Rolls are delightfully crunchy with a light, savory filling that doesn’t miss a beat despite being plant-based. Meanwhile, the Summer Rolls—wrapped in delicate rice paper and packed with herbs—offer that perfect balance of chewy and fresh.
Now to the heart of the menu—the pho. The Pho Dac Biet Beef Soup, available in both Kid and Large sizes, is the real showstopper. The broth is deeply aromatic, slow-simmered, and layered with spices that wrap around tender slices of beef like a warm hug. It’s rich, comforting, and unapologetically Vietnamese.
Don’t overlook the Vietnamese Sandwiches—they’re more than just a side act. The Grilled Pork Sandwich is smoky and juicy, paired with pickled vegetables and cilantro in a crusty baguette that hits every texture note. The Traditional Cold Cut Sandwich brings that classic, satisfying bite with a nostalgic blend of meats and pâté.
What really caught my attention, though, were the House Specials. The Ga Hap Muoi—a half portion of perfectly steamed chicken—is simple yet elegant, tender to the bone, and served just right. And then there's the Pho Xao Stir Fried Pho—a genius twist on the traditional dish, wok-tossed to a caramelized char and loaded with bold umami flavor.
To wash it all down, grab a Coconut Water for a tropical refresher, or stick to the basics with a chilled Bottle Water.
Pho Tay’s menu isn’t just food—it’s a flavorful journey worth savoring from start to finish.
