The One Pho

3/16/2024: We went to this restaurant again with some friends and shared the special fried fish.
They don't necessarily have this on the menu, but we heard through various groups that you can place an order ahead of time.
You definitely want to do that in order to reserve a fish for when you dine in.
We also tried the hot stone pho, the fish sauce chicken wings, and coconut shrimp. In this visit the actual hot stone PHO was really hot which they have signs all over the restaurant that tells you this.
In fact, this is probably the right amount of heat that my wife prefers, so take that for what it's worth.
The broth was good and hot and flavorful. The garlic fish sauce chicken wings was surprisingly pretty good and the shrimp has the green rice puffs around it which made it very unique and also good. The star of this evening was the fish.
Again, there aren't many restaurants that have this dish in the area.
The only place that we can compare this to is Saigon block in Dallas.
I would definitely recommend if you can reserve a fish to try it out.
They give you all of the fixings, dipping sauce, and rice paper that you need to have a feeling meal. The only blemish of the night was the service was a little off.
Maybe it was because they had a lot of customers that had ordered or reserved a fish and a little overwhelmed.
They brought the fish out to our table and we had to wait for the plates and bowls for the dipping sauce.
Not to mention, the place that they gave us to roll the fish was an appetizer plate which was a bit too small for us to roll. I highly recommend the hot stone pho and the fried fish if you come next time. Original review: With the many different places around the area, this place stands out really for their bo ne.
This is a sizzling plate of French inspired culinary dish yet much better.
It has beef, eggs, pate and shumai.
On the other hand, the pho is actually decent.
The broth came out hot and the raw eye round steak was very tender.
They really load the banh mi with meat as well. If you're in the area and need some good pho this place definitely is one to try.

Freshly pressed sugarcane and kumquat drink.
The iced Vietnamese coffee was also delectable.
Had the grilled pork banh mi sandwich with the veggies on the side.
Also tried the hot skillet combo --my fave was the meatball and tomato sauce.
This was a wonderful find for a Saturday lunch.
They have weekday lunch specials.

From the first sip to the last, this was some of the best pho I've ever had! The anise flavor was perfectly balanced with the steaming beef broth, and the meat was juicy and flavorful.
I'm blown away by this place! And after eating here, I asked several of my Vietnamese friends (both born in Vietnam) what they thought about this place and they both said that the pho at The One Pho smells and tastes like high quality pho they have had in Vietnam :) I ate here two days in a row so I could try the pho and then the Bún bò xào sa (lemongrass beef with rice vermicelli, shredded carrots, lettuce, and peanuts)...
wow wow wow!!! So fresh, so tasty, and so healthy tasting, and feeling. I can't recommend this place enough!
