Located on the third floor of the building, Royal Phở feels welcoming from the moment you step inside. The space is simple yet welcoming, with a hint of Vietnamese charm and the unmistakable scent of rich broth drifting from the kitchen. It’s not the kind of place you stumble upon, but once you find it, it feels like a little treasure you'll want to return to. The menu offers a variety of Phở alongside other Vietnamese favorites, making it hard to choose just one dish to start with.
The options are abundant, whether you’re after a regular or a hearty large portion. But let’s get into what really had us raving.
First up, the Creamy Bún Bò Huế. This bowl is packed with bold flavors—creamy, spicy, and absolutely indulgent. Chicken ham, brisket, and shank float in a broth that’s rich and velvety, with just the right amount of heat. The spiciness is perfectly balanced, offering an enjoyable kick without overwhelming the palate, allowing you to savor each ingredient. Each bite is a celebration of textures and tastes.
Then we met the star of the show: Phở Bò Đặc Biệt. This best-seller earned its popularity for a reason—it’s love at first spoonful. Only served in a large portion, the broth brings authentic goodness that transports you straight to Vietnam. Tender slices of beef tenderloin, brisket, and the pièce de résistance, a perfectly cooked rib, combine in a bowl that’s nothing short of magical. The broth is fragrant, flavorful, and expertly seasoned, making every bite better than the last.
Beyond the exceptional Phở, we couldn’t resist trying the Chả Giò, crispy deep-fried egg rolls that were light, crunchy, and perfectly paired with Nuoc Cham sauce for that tangy, sweet dip. We also sampled the Bánh Mì, featuring a crispy baguette and savory fillings that hit all the right notes.
We finished this culinary journey with a sweet finale—Mango Sticky Rice, paired with refreshing beverages. The sticky rice was soft and creamy, perfectly complementing the ripe mango’s sweetness.
As we left, it felt like we had taken a brief but unforgettable trip to Vietnam, each bite telling its own delicious story. The flavors danced on our palates, leaving us craving more long after the last sip of broth. Royal Phở isn’t just about the food; it’s about immersing yourself in a culinary experience that celebrates the rich heritage of Vietnamese cuisine.
So, if you’re looking to indulge in a delightful escape, make your way to Royal Phở. With each bowl served, you’re not just enjoying a meal; you’re partaking in a tradition that values authenticity and flavor. Whether you're a long-time fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, Royal Phở promises a warm welcome and a feast that will linger in your memory. Treat yourself to a journey of taste that you won’t soon forget!
