Phở Phượng sits a short distance from central Ho Chi Minh City and serves a strong beef pho. The broth is rich and slightly sweet, and diners change the flavor with lime, Vietnamese chili, and sauce. Tables are often nearly full, and the special and tail options can sell out later in the day. Cilantro and herbs come out in large amounts alongside the noodles, and the noodle portion is on the small side.
