Master Critic Review
Pho 88 (Park Slope)
7.6
Operating out of a Park Slope address with a delivery-first model, Pho 88 leans into a broad pho menu—beef stews, house spicy broths, and standard beef and chicken bowls—geared toward at-home slurping rather than dining in. It fills a niche for late-ish, straightforward Vietnamese soup when you care more about a hot container at your door than the room it came from.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef Stew Pho Noodle Soup, House Spicy Pho Noodle Soup, Grilled Chicken Pho Noodle Soup
