Pho Hoa Restaurant

Pho Hoa has served Dorchester Avenue since 1992. Pho is one starting point, but the menu also includes vermicelli bowls, broken-rice plates, hot pot and dishes intended for sharing. Shrimp spring rolls come with mint, lettuce and vermicelli in rice paper, with peanut sauce alongside. Grilled lemongrass chicken skewers are another appetizer, served with pickled vegetables, noodles, lettuce and fish sauce. For a meal outside the soup section, try a grilled-pork vermicelli bowl with vegetables and herbs. There are coffee, tea and desserts to finish, and the restaurant offers online pickup ordering for those taking their meal home rather than dining in.
