About Our Pho Dac Biet (House Special Beef Pho)
At Mekong Restaurant, our Pho Dac Biet represents the pinnacle of traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
The secret to our exceptional pho lies in the broth – a labor of love that requires hours of
simmering beef bones with aromatic spices including star anise, cinnamon, charred ginger, and
roasted onions. This slow-cooking process extracts every ounce of flavor, creating a deeply
savory, perfectly balanced broth that's known for being incredibly hot and authentically delicious.
What Makes Our House Special Pho Unique
Our Pho Dac Biet features a premium selection of beef cuts that showcase different textures and
flavors. The rare steak (tai) is thinly sliced and cooks gently in the hot broth, the brisket (nam)
provides tender, flavorful bites, while the tendon (gan) and tripe (sach) add authentic texture that
pho enthusiasts love. This combination, served over fresh rice noodles and accompanied by a plate
of crisp bean sprouts, fragrant Thai basil, cilantro, and lime wedges, allows you to customize each
spoonful to your taste.
The Perfect Bowl of Pho
Each bowl arrives steaming hot, ensuring the broth is at the perfect temperature to gently cook
the rare beef while you enjoy it. We serve our pho with hoisin sauce and sriracha on the side,
allowing you to adjust the sweetness and heat to your preference. The fresh herbs and lime juice
brighten the rich broth, creating a harmonious balance that has made our Pho Dac Biet a customer
favorite for years.
Serving Suggestions
For the best experience, add the fresh herbs and bean sprouts to your liking, squeeze in lime
juice for brightness, and customize with hoisin and sriracha. The noodles should be slurped hot,
and the beef enjoyed with every spoonful of the aromatic broth.
