TLDR: So. Much. Yes. Nice warm hug in my belly. I've been meaning to try this place for several years and finally convinced my bf to come with me. He was so not in the mood for pho but quickly changed his mind after a couple of bites of the Pho Bo. Love the generous portions of bean sprouts and cilantro they gave us. The soft crunch of the bean sprouts adds such a lovely texture. The pho comes out in a big bowl--but I still managed to eat it all... bc I couldn't stop myself. Don't snooze on the spring rolls either! They were super crispy and cronchy. Definitely fried to perfection! We loved it here so much that we ordered a Fried Chicken Rice and a Chicken Rice to go! (It was for dinner, I swear!) I'd 100% come back to try their other pho and the wings! Tip: Seating is limited so come early!

Have you ever gotten food-high? I have. From Phodega. The Viet Dip deserves every accolade. It evoked the same primal, emotional response as a gorgeous bowl of pho - which Phodega also does extremely well.

Phodega has my ultimate comfort food: Hainan chicken, fried chicken, white rice cooked in chicken fat, and beef pho. I usually like scallion-ginger oil over my Hainan chicken, but Phodega uses a ginger-garlic sauce. The fried chicken is very crispy. The white rice is so flavorful after being cooked in chicken fat; whoever thought of this idea is a genius. The beef pho comes with both sliced ribeye and beef meatballs. The portions are big. I was definitely full afterwards. They also have Asian sodas...the ones that are full of high frustose corn syrup and artificial flavors...but those are still considered comfort food in my book.

We've dined in and delivery. Tasty flavors and reasonable prices. The Salt & Pepper Chicken Skins were addicting and super crunchy. I also equally liked the Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings. The Spicy Chicken Banh Mi was flavorful, and I loved the range of textures and ingredients. Pho Bo had generous amounts of meat and great quality. The broth was light and especially hits the spot when you're not feeling 100%. Smart packaging, so the noodles stay fresh and not soggy. "Send Noods" and support small business! ;)
