Quest for the Best Pho

August 17, 2018 By Bryan Suddith

Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup

Pho is a traditional Vietnamese soup made with a slow simmered broth and noodles. The noodles are rice noodles and the dish is usually served with slices of beef or chicken that cook in the hot broth, leaving the proteins tender and full of flavor from steeping in the broth.

I love Pho. Pho is pronounced Fuh by the way. Making possible a ton of puns. What the Pho? Pho me? Pho you! It is also a fun food to eat. To me eating a bowl of Pho is akin to eating good barbecue. There are plenty of parallels here.
First, it’s a soup with chopsticks. This is automatically fun. Second, Pho is served with a side plate of herbs, lime, and sprouts. Pho like BBQ is unique to each chef/cook. Broth recipes vary from region, family and here in Dayton restaurant to restaurant. Also like BBQ, the broth is a labor of love and the recipe usually protected. The food is tactile, it requires getting your hands involved.
Part of the Pho experience is determining how you like your bowl. Tearing the leaves of cilantro and basil, adding sprouts, choosing two or three or more slivers of pepper to the bowl. Deciding to add Soy Sauce, Fish Sauce, Hoisin or Siracha?
I like mine with a fair amount of cilantro and basil. I add hoisin if available and as many of the sprouts and peppers as possible. A dash of soy finishes my bowl. I like to eat broth first, letting the noodles soak up the herbs and peppers. I usually finish my bowl with chopsticks picking the noodles and sprouts from the shallow broth that remains. Everyone has their way.
When I want Pho I have two standbys that are the best of the best. There are other options if you are on the upper northeast side of town or south of town for good Pho. Here’s where my Quest for the Best took me:
Linh’s Bistro
Address: 5532 Airway Rd, Dayton, OH 45431
Hours: 11AM – 9PM
Order: doordash.com
Phone: (937) 252-1857
This was my first Pho in Dayton. It opened back in 2007 and quickly grew as a favorite in the East Dayton/Riverside/WPAFB area. This is where I learned to team chopsticks with the deep soup spoon. Where you crowded in tight and stood between tables waiting on your table. The broth here is full of flavor, not spicy, but deep in aromas.  The bowl is huge and plenty for lunch or dinner. The plate with sprouts, cilantro and peppers are generous as well. The “new” location is huge in comparison and the wait time is nearly non-existent these days. I find myself adding a fair amount of Siracha and Hoison to my bowl here. Linh’s also has a wide selection of Chinese dishes as well. Perfect for any companion who is less than adventurous, the chicken fried rice is a filling dish for your +1.
For the PHO. I get the beef, but the chicken is great too.
Little Saigon
Address: 1718 Woodman Dr, Kettering, OH 45420
Hours:11AM –  2PM ⋅ 4:30PM – 9:00 PM
Order: doordash.com
Phone: (937) 258-8010

No secret here, this is my favorite. The broth has a slight kick to it. If you ask, there is a spicier Pho offered. I usually go that route. No additional sauces are necessary. They soft shrimp rolls are top notch and come two to an order, no matter what the menu might suggest. This is a small shop but you’ll feel welcome. The menu isn’t easy to under
stand, so tell your server what you want and they’ll guide you.
Bonus points here for Vegetarian friends: Tofu is made fresh every day and is available in the Pho, stir-fried noodle dishes and fried rice entrees. It takes less than 2 visits to feel like a regular who is dining in a friend’s home. Little Saigon is a family run operation and has been serving authentic Vietnamese food for more than 30 years.
Pho Mi
Address: 8990 Kingsridge Dr, Dayton, OH 45458
Hours: 11:00AM –  9PM
Order: doordash.com
Phone: (937) 433-7388
I had to try this spot. As a kid, this building was a little Mexican food joint (late 1970’s and early 80’s) and my mom loved going there. The Pho here is the mildest of the four in this article. Took a fair amount of Siracha and Fish sauce to kick up the flavor. Plenty of beef, soft noodles cooked perfect and the addition of Thai Basil on the plate next to sprouts and cilantro was a nice touch.
The Shrimp Spring rolls here are among my favorite, rivaling that of Little Saigon. Pho Mi had plenty of seating, a menu that includes a Bánh mì lunch special. I’ll have to return and try the famous sandwich next time. The menu sticks to its Vietnamese roots and are full of noodle dishes beyond Pho and the Banh mi sandwiches.
What Da Pho
Address: 3464 Pentagon Blvd C, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Hours:11:00AM – 8:30PM
Menu: watdaphorestaurant.com
Phone: (937) 956-6060
I was most skeptical about this spot. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the newest spot here in Dayton out by the Fairfield Mall. I was surprised. First note, the Pho comes in a smaller lunch portion. It was still plenty when paired with the Shrimp Spring Rolls but cost the same as their competitors bigger bowls.
The decor was modern and new as you might expect in a strip near a big mall, lacking the old world charm and character of Little Saigon but the service was fast, the Pho tasty and rolls adequate. I found the roll rice wrappers a bit chewy, perhaps from not being as fresh. I arrived for a later than normal lunch after the crowd had thinned a bit.
Prices here are the highest of all 4 spots. Linh’s, Little Saigon and Pho Mi you can have Pho, Shrimp Roll, and a tea for $10-$12 total. What Da Pho was up over the $14.00 range before gratuity which was well deserved.
My “to visit” list:
Xuan Vietnamese Cuisine, 4770 Airway Rd, Dayton, OH 45431
Where do you go for Pho in Dayton? If your spot isn’t here, tell us in the comments. You can’t go wrong at these spots, but if you make it to Little Saigon, tell them Bryan and Most Metro sent you.

BEST OF VEGAN IN DAYTON

January 21, 2013 By Dayton Most Metro 1 Comment

422564_337038939672014_1676918351_n
2012 was such a busy year for *
Vegans in Dayton*! I couldn’t have anticipated the amount of good things that came to us this year. We have a lot to celebrate! We saw the opening of Fusian, the rise of Ghostlight Coffee and Thistle Confections (including the opening of the Second Street Market location), and businesses like Three Leee Cupcakery and Sweets by Ashley. Our favorite restaurants continued to excite us, such as the addition af vegan pancakes at Butter Cafe, and menu revisions from Lucky’s, Olive, an Urban Dive, and Sunrise Cafe.

In 2012, we said a sad farewell to Amici’s and their glorious pizza, and wished that Bombshell Bakeshop’s indefinite hiatus would end already! We suffered through intense sugar cravings at coffeehouses, and now have expanded options at Ghostlight Coffeehouse!(Press is slated to have Harvest Moon Creations treats sometime soon, but the date has not been set yet.)

2013 is promising to be a great year, with Linh’s Bistro (opened up Jan 1 and moved from the old location), Shish Wraps (opening sometime soon?), and Harvest Moon Creations working on opening a vegan bakery store-front in Xenia in Spring or Summer 2013! I may also get to weigh in on a new restaurant that may be opening in the Oregon District later this year!

Without any further ado, let’s review the best vegan experiences we had in Dayton in 2012!

olivediveBEST OVERALL RESTAURANT FOR VEGAN FOOD

Olive, an Urban Dive claimed the prize this year! People love their business ethics, their flair, and their dedication to delicious food. Of particular fanfare is the falafel burger, their weekend scrambled tofu brunch, and their socca-bread pizzas. They also do salads and soups quite well. They balance the art of local, fresh fare with dazzling flavors and exciting vegan protein. I give them major props for all the efforts they go through to serve the vegans in this town, especially as some of the menu items change from season to season. Our hats go off to the chefs and owners who dream up the great dishes that both vegans and non-vegans enjoy! (They also won second place in the Best Vegan Burger / Sandwich!)

BEST LOCAL VEGAN BAKERY

534644_10151103945281790_1410193201_n

Cookies & Cream cupcakes from Harvest Moon Creations

This was the closest battle of them all, and I must declare a tie between Thistle Confections and Harvest Moon Creations! Both have a loyal following and have worked hard to ensure excellent ingredients and fresh, lovely baked goods that we feel great eating.

BEST PLACE TO GET LOCAL VEGAN BAKED GOODS

Butter Cafe easily landed this prize, with their always-stocked cases of Harvest Moon Creations cupcakes, twinkies, and cookies. Their hours are convenient, parking is easy, the hosts are super-friendly, and the cupcakes come in the cutest pink boxes!

BEST COFFEEHOUSE FOR DRINKS

I was extremely surprised to see yet another tie! This time, between Press Coffeebar and Ghostlight Coffee. Both have excellent ambiance, fantastic drinks, and are striving to meet vegan needs in 2013. As I love both and visit both regularly, I was actually very happy about this tie. Congrats!

storeBEST VEGAN BRUNCH

Butter Cafe blew everyone else away! Perhaps it’s the vegan breakfast burrito, or maybe it’s the vegan blueberry pancakes. Maybe it’s because vegan dessert (usually elusive) is just around the corner in a chilled case. I love Butter Cafe, and am very happy to see that they won!

 

8151987

BEST VEGAN BURGER / SANDWICH

Lucky’s landed this prize, probably for their house-made seitan sandwich. Pair that with their sweet potato or shoestring fries,made in their dedicated vegan fryer, or a house salad with vegan ranch, or any number of great sides and apps, as well as the best beer on tap selection in town (my opinion there).  Congrats to Lucky’s for their continual improvement as well as being second place in the Best Overall Restaurant for Vegan Food!

BEST VEGAN FOOD IN AN ASIAN RESTAURANT

thai9-1Thai 9 won this award hands down! Perhaps it’s because of all their vegan curries, or their choice of tofu, mock duck, or mock pork. Their sushi is excellent, and the decor is lovely. Service there is always charming as well. Linh’s came in second place, and I believe they hold a distinction of being the best non-Thai restaurant in town. In years past, I separated these two categories, and will do so in the future.

BEST VEGAN MEXICAN

Taqueria Mixteca won by a longshot yet again! Congrats to a great restaurant! I absolutely love their taco salad and their fajitas
(ask for no cheese or sour cream) and their guacamole.

Thanks to the hundreds of people who took the survey! I got a ton of great comments and suggestions. I’ll do my absolute best to get your comments to restaurants in the next month. Thanks for the kind words, and for making Dayton and the world a better place. You’re doing it right!

Linh’s Bistro: Good Food Pho Sure!

January 10, 2013 By Dayton937 1 Comment

In Vietnamese cuisine, Pho is a meal sized soup, served hot with noodles and various meats.  During these cold winter months, nothing warms you up quite  like these offerings at Lihn’s Bistro at 5532 Airway Road  in the Page Manor Plaza.  The location is new, but they still serve the same great Vietnamese specialties.  The Food Adventures Crew have been fans of owners Hoa and Phan Nguyen ever since they opened the Asian Palace restaurant in Beavercreek in the 1980’s.  Today, their sole endeavor is the bustling Linh’s Bistro, which is one spot you’ll have to visit for a fantastic Food Adventure.

Upon entering Linh’s, you notice the huge open dining area bustling with patrons.  The atmosphere is very nice, mixing modern style with a traditional Asian feel.   The staff is friendly and inviting, and promptly serve you some Vietnamese tea at your table.  Start out with a trademark house drink, the Vietnamese Iced Coffee which is excellent.  We browsed the familiar menu items.  The restaurant’s menu has two parts, a Vietnamese section and a Chinese section.  Being aware that the owners were from Vietnam, we always stick with the hometown experts and order Vietnamese dishes at Linh’s Bistro.

Our Favorite Appetizer: Soft Shrimp Rolls

For openers, we would suggest a house specialty appetizer called the Shrimp Golden Crepe.  The crepe is huge and a Food Adventurer’s dream.  It is filled with vermicelli noodles, shrimp and a light sauce.  Served with a side of fresh cilantro and lettuce, we were told to take pieces of the crepe and manually make our own lettuce wraps.  Definitely one of the most unique appetizers we have ever eaten.  The Big Ragu loves the Vegetarian Fried Spring Rolls at Linh’s which are light and flaky.  However, we both agree on a favorite appetizer, the Soft Spring Roll.  This delicacy is an egg roll, but the wrapper is a see-through, soft rice paper, which resembles a clear burrito wrapper.   The rolls are filled with cilantro, vermicelli noodles, pork and shrimp.  They are served with an absolutely incredible peanut sauce for dunking.   The Soft Rolls taste so fresh, that you realize you could have ordered a few of these for your meal.

Many Noodles, Shrimp and Flavors Lurk Below the Pork in this Pho (Meal Sized Soup)

The entree menu is extensive, but we have some house specialties that we would recommend.   First the Pho (meal sized soups), and our favorite is #23 which is Shrimp and Pork Soup with Clear Rice Noodles.   This steaming hot bowl is served with a heaping side of bean sprouts, jalapenos, and cilantro for adding to the soup per your taste.  Make sure when you eat this you use the both chopsticks and a  spoon for a slurping good time.   The Pho Soups are so flavorful and fresh, that no matter what combination of meats and noodles you choose, it is impossible to go wrong.

Another entree fave is the #76 The Traditional Boneless Catfish in Clay Pot.  This dinner is very old school.   It is served in a primitive looking traditional Vietnamese cooking pot with a closed lid.  As the lid is opened, it reveals lightly breaded fish, soaking in a wonderfully aromatic brown sauce.  As the steam rises, spices and pepper are visible covering the the fish pieces.  The saucy catfish is best spooned over white rice, for a mouth watering meal that you won’t soon forget.

Lemongrass Shrimp Vermicelli Salad – with sauces added

Lastly, may we recommend the #43 Lemongrass Shrimp with Vermicelli Salad.  This entree is served with a side of vinegar sauce and julienne carrots.  The traditional way to eat this dish is to pour the vinegar sauce over the huge bowl of Vermicelli, sauteed onions and shrimp.  Next, mix the ingredients thoroughly, exposing the lettuce and  bean sprouts hidden at the bottom of the bowl.   The final step is to grab some chopsticks and dig in!  This is super filling meal and a great value at only $7.25.  In fact, most of the menu is value priced, making Linh’s Bistro an affordable gourmet dining experience.

Linh’s has an incredible menu with page after page of tremendous dishes.  You could come here dozens of times and still not tap  the extensive choices offered.  The key here is to explore, try new things and be a Food Adventurer.   It is a perfect place to experience the many tastes of the Vietnamese culture.  A trip to Linh’s Bistro will have you coming back Pho more !
