The tao of pho

As the weather turns cool, the mind turns to piping-hot comfort food. This fall, why not substitute the chicken noodle for a tasty twist on the standard—the Vietnamese staple known as pho (pronounced “fuh”). Pho Quynh on Florida Boulevard is so confident of their flavors that they put it in the name, and true to form, they serve up mouthwateringly authentic pho. Traditionally a beef-broth based soup with slices of meat and rice noodles, pho is characterized by optional add-ins, from limes to fresh bean sprouts, letting you customize your bowl. Pho Quynh offers a wide variety, from pho with round eye steak to pho with meatballs, and even pho ga, made with chicken broth and chicken meat rather than beef.
