Pho Ghien,

100 West Pioneer Parkway, Arlington, TX 76010

"After an eventful evening at Round1, we were craving for pho for dinner. Pho Ghien recently took over the old Pho Pasteur place. I saw a lot of post of their pho in the stone bowl, so I had to give it a try! The service was great, fast and friendly. The stone bowl did keep the pho broth hot for awhile, but the broth is definitely lacking something. Their noodles were also falling apart. They were not skimpy on the meat though. I tried to finish the pho, but I couldn’t. All I ate was the meat and left the noodles back. The bo tai chanh was decent. I don’t think I would come back though. Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5"

"The quality on the bun bu hue and pho are good but not as good as some other places I’ve tried around the area; what stands out about this place is the variety. They serve things that a typical Vietnamese restaurant won’t have on their menu like ox, lobster, banana blossoms, etc. The restaurant used to be where Pho Pasteur was before they relocated to a new building so they have essentially the same lay out. Food is authentic. Waitress speaks English and Vietnamese. Good service. Good quality. Clean. Reasonably priced."

"The food was awesome. It was fresh, authentic, and delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant was very clean. I am definitely coming again. The only bad thing was my bf ordered a spicy Pho and it was so spicy, a small drop splashed into his causing it to burn. Funniest thing ever! However the Pho was delicious!"

"Just to lay the foundation, I’ve been eating Pho for over 30 years. I’ve had a thousand bowls from many places all over the United States. I live in Arlington, and I’ve had countless bowls from Pho 95, and Pho Pasteur, etc etc. This Pho from Pho Ghien may well be the best Pho I’ve ever had. The broth was clear, and I could taste the anise and cardamom, but it was smooth and subtle. The noodles were perfect. I ordered the Pho with the oxtail and it arrived in the piping hot stone bowl which kept it hot for the duration of the meal. It appears that they used cilantro stems as a garnish in the Pho which added to the great textures. The flavor was incredible from start to finish. I really look forward to trying the other premium Pho that they offer that includes beef rib amongst other fine meats. The waitress and the lady that runs the counter who I assumed is the owner are both very pleasant and kind. This may be my new favorite place. I definately highly highly recommend Pho Ghien."
