About this place
One dish to build a meal around at Pho Viet is rice topped with pork spare ribs. One diner who ordered it for dinner described thick-cut ribs served over broken rice, with the fish-sauce seasoning making a particular impression. Pork spare-rib rice is also listed on the menu, making it a hearty option when rice appeals more than noodles.
Pho comes in several styles, including chicken, chicken with coriander and spicy chicken, so you can choose according to your preferred toppings and flavour. One diner who ordered the chicken pho praised its well-developed broth, making it a good choice when you want noodles to take centre stage. For a meal with a starter, sets pair pho with fresh or fried spring rolls and green papaya salad. A diner who tried one particularly enjoyed the papaya salad served before the pho, along with both kinds of spring roll. Another set adds shrimp paste dumplings to the spring rolls and papaya salad, giving you more starters to sample.
Finish with Vietnamese coffee, served hot or black, as iced coffee with milk, or in coconut and bubble-topped versions. With options ranging from lunch combining pho and starters to dinner centred on spare-rib rice, Pho Viet offers plenty of choice for Vietnamese food in Ikebukuro.
