What makes Pho By Night different from other pho restaurants?

We have been family-owned and operated in ByWard Market since 2000. Our broth is slow-simmered for over 12 hours using the same traditional recipe we started with, and we source halal-certified beef and chicken. Many of our customers have been coming back for two decades.

Question 2

Is the pho at Pho By Night halal?

Question 3

Do you have vegan or vegetarian options?

We do. Our vegan menu includes plant-based pho with mushroom broth, tofu vermicelli bowls, vegetable spring rolls, and vegan banh mi. Vegan dishes are prepared separately to avoid cross-contamination.
