Cao Vân Pho is a local pho shop across from the Somerset Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. It serves beef pho and chicken pho, and the beef version comes with a generous amount of meat. The area has many office workers, so customers crowd in at lunchtime, and the broth is light rather than heavy. Cilantro is added by default, so ask for it to be left out when ordering if you do not eat it.
