Best Pho in Bensonhurst
Master Critic Review
New Pho Tay Ho
7.9
A classic Vietnamese menu anchored by pho combinations, with the best results coming from sticking to their ‘train’/combo bowls and keeping the order tight. It’s a practical neighborhood option when you want a traditional beef-noodle-soup lane with lots of cut choices.
Must-Try Dishes:
Xe Lua (Combination Extra Big Bowl), Pho Suon Bo Nuong (BBQ Beef Rib Noodle Soup), Bun Bo Hue
