Pho Bon is a Vietnamese dining restaurant in metro Manila serving up some tasty Vietnamese food in…read morePI for your Vietnamese noodle soup cravings. We ended up going to this restaurant after searching for a good bowl of Vietnamese noodle soup in Manila and ended up choosing Pho bon due to location and pictures from Yelp. As we entered during lunch the place was fairly crowded but still managed to find a seat. The restaurant serves up bowls of pho, rice dishes, and even has Vietnamese Sandwiches. I ended up getting the pho with well done brisket and since I was super hungry that day I also chose the banh Mi bo kho which was Vietnamese beef stew with French bread. The food came out quick and was looking esquisite! The Pho was beautifully garnished with thinly sliced green onions, cilantro, and sliced white onions with slices of fatty brisket laying over a bed of wide pho noodles. The freshly cracked ground pepper aroma coming up below the piping hot broth got me really excited to try this Vietnamese dish while eating it in the Phillipines. I was also accomodated with fresh herbs of Thai basil, Corriander, and thin bean sprouts and a side dish of chili and hoison sauce with limes. The soup was light in broth but yet flavorful but I felt it was lacking in the fresh herbs and spices such as the star anise, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. The noodles were cooked al dente and I enjoyed chewing on them while slurping the broth. The banh mi bo kho was also another great dish to eat while dipping the fresh Vietnamese French bread into the soup with the nice cuts of stewed beef and vegetables. The flavor was yet light but also had a great taste and I really enjoyed this dish as well. Overall great expierence eating here while the food was on point but yet had its differences but also tasty. Customer service was great and the prices were very affordable for famiy dining or just eating with a friend. I totally reccomend this place to anyone looking to eat Vietnamese food in PI while traveling here.

My fiancee LOVES burgers and sandwiches! It's his comfort food. So, when he needs a sandwich near…read morehis place, we will drive by here. :) The menu is simple and straightforward. Choose from a variety of meats ranging from pork, beef or chicken. The more traditional pate is also available (my personal fave)! The sandwich begins with a crispy, crusty baguette, which they bake themselves, filled with your choice of meat. Then, they top it with shredded carrot, cucumber, cilantro, basil and pickled radish. The ingredients are ALWAYS fresh and the result is a very tasty sandwich! Tip: don't get the half size; get the full size! If it's your first time, try the large traditional banh mi. The large order is only Php99! They also offer Vietnamese coffee or Artichoke Iced Tea to go with your meal. If you're craving for a good bahn mi sandwich, visit this quiet little shop in San Antonio Village. Great place to grab take out and enjoy in the comfort of your home. :)

My friend wanted to treat everyone to a birthday dinner, and most of us had never tried Ba Noi's,…read moreso we went. This branch is a lot smaller and more cramped than the one in UP Town Center (which I had gone to with my boyfriend and his family months later). They don't have a dining area for smokers, and getting in and out of your seat can be challenging because of the limited space. I tried their rice noodles though I wasn't really a fan; unfortunately they failed to convert me. However, everything else we ate was REALLY DELICIOUS. The catfish in their catfish salad is fried to a crunch; the Suon Nong Xa (fried pork riblets) lean on the salty side but are therefore a special treat to salt lovers; the Ga Nuong was standard, delicious grilled chicken--nothing special but nonetheless yummy; and the star of the show was the Bo Luc Lac, which is simply some VERY well-seasoned beef cubes. The servers here aren't particularly cheerful or nice, but they do their jobs well enough, so there's nothing to complain about. In conclusion, the place is often packed for a reason--good Vietnamese food--but I wouldn't bring kids there. They would cause a riot in the tiny space, and nothing in the menu is really kid-friendly.

I had Bun Ga Noung Xa, and Beef Noodle Soup - one with dry noodles, the other one was noodles with soup. Bun Ga Noung Xa was great! I loved how flavorful and tender the chicken was. The dish came with lots of herbs, and peanut sauce. As for the beef noodle soup, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and the soup was amazing! The herbs and spices really stepped up the game. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of the dishes!

I had a lemonade (the best in a while) the fried calamari and stuffed chicken wings. My two year old had the fried rice egg roll. Service was a miss as we had been seated for about ten minutes while our server bussed the tables. Once she was done and only because we had motioned her over dos she take our order. The place has air conditioning which makes it a plus as you try to get out of the heat. Seating is super tight which makes it a bit hard to navigate when the diner gets busy. Place was 4 stars at best, but it bad to knock a star off due to the slow service and items that were on the menu but not available. Give this place a try, hopefully you'll get better service than we did

With that said, I like the appetizing clean herby flavor of the base broth and regardless if you are having white or red meat with it, the freshness always stands out. I am no chef but it seems to me that this is a case where you can't have too much herb in your soup. The space is a bit cramped and service is soso - considering that there are only a handful of tables to wait on. Nonetheless, this is still one of places I'd go to whenever I want a steamy bowl of soup.

I have always seen Pho Hoa in malls, but I never bothered to try it until two weeks ago. I heard…read morethat Vietnamese dishes use a lot of vegetables in their food and I am not all about that life. If I am going to pay a lot of money for good food, might as well spend it on a big juicy burger or a large slice of meat-lovers pizza. Last week, when I went out with my grandparents for lunch, we decided to eat in Pho Hoa. I wasn't too excited, but I can't really say no to my grandparents. Once we stepped inside, we were immediately greeted by a waitress who was more than happy to answer all of our questions regarding their menu. I ordered their Vermicelli Bowl, which included noodles, grilled chicken, veggies, and deep-fried spring rolls; it is also served with a clear sweet and sour sauce with lemon grass. I am not going to lie--I liked the whole dish. I can't get over the taste of the deep-fried spring rolls and the grilled chicken. From the taste and texture of the vegetables, it's easy to know that they are fresh. It's always good to try something new every once in a while. I thought I would hate Pho Hoa, but I ended up loving it! This one deserves a 5 out of 5.

I love the fresh, handmade noodles, and I love watching how they are made - yes, you can watch them being made! It's quite a feat, the staff quickly and efficiently kneading the dough and stretching it as far as it can go before cutting it into the noodles I love in the final dish. Since I'm a vegetarian, I always order the plain noodles. But no, it is not plain at all as there is unlimited spring onions and wansoy, in addition to the Chinese pechay in the dish. And of course, they have the complete popular condiments, too. I love putting the chili oil in my noodles. The interiors are simple but clean, but you won't really care much as the noodles are really good.

Restaurant I expected it to be warm since it's hole-in-the-wall but it's kinda breezy during the evening, making our stay relaxing. The dine-in space is limited with a few seats outside but they have a bar, high chairs and all. Morning Glory with Garlic This one is typical veggies. It's okay to have for mixing things up but I won't really look for it. Thai Basil Chicken We liked it enough to get an extra order. We shared but each order is already a meal for one person.

We have the best pho there so I might be more critical than an average reviewer. I immediately recognize the brand "pho Hoa" since it was once a popular brand in California. Walking in the restaurant, I was surprise that I didn't smell the pho aroma, not a good sign. Since the pictures on the wall are about Viet Nam and there are Vietnamese on the menu, I tried to push my luck speaking Vietnamese to the waiter. Only Tagalog! We ordered pho special, vegi pho and the crispy chow mein. Neither the pho broth closely resembles pho. No aroma at all. Maybe the local Filipinos like the pho that way. The crispy chow mein is average. The service is OK.

We're always comparing food places out here to how close they are in taste, to places we have in California, and this was not bad at all. The pork BBQ banh mi had too much liver spread for my taste and was missing cilantro (just asked for a side and added it myself). The spring rolls were spring rolls lol. The pho had just enough flavor in the broth which usually gets masked by the hoisin and Siracha in my case anyway. I just remember there was a good amount of meat to noodle and broth ratio. They kindly split a large into two bowls for us. The vermicelli bowl was what surprised us, it was a lot and the dressing was really good. It wasn't too fishy or sweet, it was perfect. Overall I got my pho fix

They serve the usual Chinese food, like siomai, Hakaw, Pork Buns, and the like.. But they've also got unique dishes I've never heard of or seen anywhere else like their Northern Style Lamb Dumplings, and their Minced Lamb wrapped in Pancake with leeks (this dish was delish!) We ordered a lot of food like the Smoked Duck Breast in Hoisin Wrap! I love duck and this dish is so good and contains a lot of vegetables! Their chicken dishes are also quite known to those who have tried them because of how good they are... I especially LOVE their sweet and sour chicken and their Honey Sesame Crispy chicken too!

On the other hand, the beef Hofan was pretty good and textbook stir fry- good balance of flavor and textures. Both dishes came too oily but that's synonymous with Chinese comfort food!
