Since last Friday, we’ve eaten there three times and on all occasions were treated to mouth watering beef broth (no veggie broth option here) with perfectly cooked noodles and an array of quality meat selections. The grilled chicken is a piquant change from the boiled chicken options at most Pho sit downs and the dim sum offerings are stellar — with the steamed pork bun cooked to salty, chewy perfection.

The weekend offers patrons a hip hangout for drinks and snacks before hitting the town and I couldn’t have been more impressed with the modern, dim lighted decor. Simple, elegant and comfortable.

On the downside, the wait staff seems to be a little laggy in checking up on larger parties and the curry dishes are not their strong suit. Stick to the Pho, don’t be shy about flagging down the friendly waitstaff and enjoy.

Pho 79 on Havana and Mississippi has been my go-to joint for the past 4 years or so but, as you might have guessed, Pho on 6th is new fav. I literally can’t wait to go back there.
