Phở Tân Hòa | Vietnamese & Chinese Cuisine
Order the dặc biệt phở khô on Jones Street and the broth arrives in its own bowl. Long egg noodles come under peanuts, tendon, flank, brisket, tripe and rare steak. You spend the meal dipping them.
Why go
Ricky Rodriguez rated the room 8.2 for The Infatuation and called the dry bowl practically two dishes at once.1 Chili oil goes on the noodles. The broth stays hot beside them. You work between the two.
Emily Lim owns and cooks at Dabao Singapore. She eats here alone in the mornings, which she told the San Francisco Standard is easy: not many people she knows want noodles for breakfast.2 The kitchen shuts in the middle of the afternoon, so the morning is the window.
Order this / avoid

What locals & experts say
- Ricky Rodriguez, The Infatuation, April 2024, 8.2:
Add some chili oil to the noodles and dip them in the broth—it's a constant back-and-forth between slurping and scooping.

I like to eat more options than portions.
