At the broadway pho bac hoa viet, the daughter-owner said that the pho broth was her fathers secret, and each time a sibling opened a restaurant, he gave the secret broth recipe to that child.

i really do like their broth a lot. and all the freshness of the herbs and sprouts. shudder of pleasure.

We alternate between the Pho Bac Hoa Viet on Bradshaw and the one on Madison (formerly "Bamboo", also owned by the same family). In fact, we were there twice last week...

yes, the sister said that they thought the name bamboo would be a more upscale way of branching out, but i'm not surprised they went back to old name, their pho is very, very good!

When they first opened as Bamboo, the menu was different. It was smaller than the standard menu (although quite possibly everything on it is also on the one found on all the others). I remember the Spouse ordering something called "Crystal Shrimp" (or something like that) which I've never seen in the other restaurants. Of course, I only ever order pho and the Spouse and Spawn usually order bun so perhaps we're just not looking at the right part of the menu.

There is another pho place on Greenback (around Dewey or Van Maren) called Noodle 88. Their pho is as good as Pho Bac Hoa Viet's (and their AC works, unlike the AC at the Madison PBHV!).
