Pho Ong Tay Pho & Pasta Bar

Pho Ong Tay Pho & Pasta Bar is a small Italian and Vietnamese restaurant facing the Saigon River in front of a riverside apartment complex in Ho Chi Minh City. An Italian chef runs it, and the menu centres on pho without cilantro or MSG, pasta with a choice of noodles, and salads. Outdoor seats beside the river look out on the sunset and Landmark 81, and the restaurant moved to this location from a small shop in the Thao Dien alley. It closes between 2pm and 5pm, so a late lunch is not possible.
