Pho may look simple — a bowl of broth, noodles, and meat — but the experience of ordering and eating it like a local is an art form. Whether you are a first-time pho diner or a seasoned enthusiast visiting Pho Beyond in Las Vegas for the first time, this guide will help you make the most of your bowl.
Step 1: Choose Your Broth Base
At Pho Beyond, our signature broth is a clear, golden beef bone broth that is slow-simmered for over 12 hours. If you prefer a lighter option, our chicken pho (pho ga) is equally delicious. For plant-based diners, ask about our vegetarian broth option.
Step 2: Select Your Protein
This is where customization truly shines. Common protein options at Pho Beyond include:
- Tai — thinly sliced rare eye round that cooks gently in the hot broth
- Chin — well-done brisket with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture
- Gan — soft tendon for a rich, gelatinous experience
- Bo vien — Vietnamese beef meatballs
- Combinations — mix and match for the full pho experience
Step 3: Customize Your Bowl
When your pho arrives, you will receive a plate of fresh accompaniments. Use them to personalize your bowl:
- Add fresh Thai basil and bean sprouts directly into the hot broth
- Squeeze lime juice for brightness and acidity
- Add sliced chili for heat — or skip it if you prefer mild
- Stir in hoisin sauce for sweetness or sriracha for a spicy kick
Step 4: Eat Like a Local
Use chopsticks to lift the noodles and meat, and a deep spoon to sip the broth. In Vietnamese culture, it is perfectly acceptable — even encouraged — to slurp your noodles. The noise is a sign of enjoyment! Do not be shy.
