What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pho District Cincy is praised for its flavorful pho broth and generous portions, with many highlighting the friendly and attentive service. While some find the broth less authentic or flavorful than expected, the unique weekend Bun Rieu and other fusion dishes like Orange Chicken and crab rangoon are well-received. Portions are consistently noted as large, making it a good value.
"My first experience ordering Pho and it made me so happy. I could not believe how flavorful the broth was. I would never have guessed this could and would be so tasty. I ordered the Pho with shrimp and he ordered the Pho with steak and brisket. Next time I will get the steak. Adding Sriracha and hoisin and a squeeze of lime was chef's kiss! The crab rangoon appetizer was perfect and had a good amount of crab. I ordered the medium size pho and it was so big. I would definitely get a small next time. More than enough."

"Pho district was a great Vietnamese option on the North side of Cincinnati.
There is plenty of parking as it is right next door to Jungle Jim's international market. Visited on a Tuesday late afternoon and it wasn't busy. The staff were friendly and attentive.
We ordered a pho with beef and tripe ($14 small / $16 medium) and a grilled pork vermicelli bowl ($14). The beef broth of the pho had good flavor and is accompanied with your typical side plate of jalapeno, bean sprouts, and basil. The vermicelli bowl came with a generous portion and the grilled pork was seasoned well. I recommend both dishes!
On weekends they serve their special bun rieu which is a crab tomato noodle soup and hard to find as many pho restaurants don't serve this. It happens to be one of my favorite noodle soups so I'll have to return on a weekend to try it here.
Overall good experience with a hardy meal and were able to walk it off at Jungle Jim's next door."

"We loved our lunch here. Food was exactly what we were looking for. Things were not from this area. It took us a while to find it even with Google maps so I’m including a picture of where they are, which is near the rhino parking area.
Staff was attentive and food was delicious."
