Best Pho in Los Angeles Orange County's Little Saigon is home to the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, and that means one thing: the pho here is the real deal. With decades of refinement and fierce competition, the pho restaurants in this corridor have perfected the art of bone broth, achieving depths of flavor that rival anything in Saigon or Hanoi. Before you dive in, here's what you need to know: Pho tái: Rare steak that cooks in the hot broth Pho chín: Well-done brisket Pho đặc biệt: The combination—get all the meats Pho gà: Chicken pho (lighter but equally delicious) Pro tip: Add herbs gradually. Taste the broth first before adding hoisin or sriracha—good pho doesn't need much enhancement. Squeeze lime into the broth, not directly on the meat.
