? Pho Viet embraces Vietnamese home-style cooking. Hidden in Sheraton, this restaurant serves authentic flavors of Vietnam with a side of comfort. Whether you're a seasoned lover of Vietnamese cuisine or a curious first-timer, Pho Viet promises an experience worth savoring.

We started with the beef salad (Goi Bo), a dish that made quite an impression. The thinly sliced, tender beef is marinated in a zesty mix of lime juice and fresh herbs like cilantro and mint. Crisp vegetables, including carrots and cucumbers, added a crunch, while a sprinkle of crushed peanuts provided a nutty finish. Be warned: this dish packs a serious spice kick. If you're a fan of heat, this salad is a must-try.

What’s a Vietnamese restaurant visit in the winter without a steaming bowl of pho? Both the chicken and beef pho were on point in terms of taste, with the rich, flavorful broths that are the essence of traditional Vietnamese cooking. The handmade flat rice noodles added an authentic touch, and the tender slices of beef and chicken were exactly the kind of hearty you need to to last you through the winter. We ordered the smaller bowls to save room for more dishes, and we’d recommend you do the same unless you have a healthy appetite or want to share.

We decided to satisfy some cravings while also stepping into uncharted territory with our mains. The sweet and sour stir-fried chicken (Đậu Xào Chua Ngọt) was exactly as it should be: a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. The dish featured tender chicken pieces coated in a glossy sauce made from pineapple juice. The bell peppers and onions added color and crunch, paired with the steamed basmati rice that soaked up the sauce beautifully, making each bite full of flavor.

Our adventurous choice, the duck with orange sauce (Vịt Sốt Cam), turned out to be a revelation. This dish had zesty, tangy, and savory notes, with juicy duck meat glazed in a sauce made from freshly squeezed orange juice, soy sauce, and a hint of ginger. It was as visually appealing as it was delicious. It’s easy to see why this is one of their bestsellers — we couldn’t get enough of it.

No meal is complete without dessert. The fried banana ice cream did not disappoint — crispy, golden fried banana paired with a rich, soothing vanilla ice cream was the perfect finale.
