From Saigon to Iowa City
Our story began with a mission to ease homesickness. The Pham family, who spent over 35 years serving pho in Saigon, brought their cherished recipe to Coralville. After strong support from locals, we opened our second location in downtown Iowa City, offering a broader menu and the same deep commitment to authentic Vietnamese cooking.
Authentic Broth. Authentic Vietnamese.
Our pho broth simmers for at least 24 hours, using our family's original recipe passed down through generations. No shortcuts—just real flavor built on star anise, ginger, and savory bones that give our soup its rich, balanced taste. You will not feel thirsty after dining with us because we use genuine real ingredients and time to cook, no cutting corners.

Located at 201 S Clinton St inside the Old Capitol Town Center, our Iowa City space is clean, comfortable, and convenient. Whether you're on lunch break or out for dinner, our bright setting and authentic menu make for a warm and flavorful experience in the heart of downtown.
