888


What: The best pho on Argyle. 
Venue: Pho 888 (on Argyle, off Broadway); not to be confused with any other digit thrice repeated.
Bottomline: A destination worth the pilgrimage for any zealous pho enthusiast. 

The Macapugay thumb of approval.
We were pleasantly surprised by a wait staff that would actually fill up our water, but even more surprised at the pho served up here. A symphonic broth with all the usual cast, each ingredient at an appropriate volume, and all in harmony with the melodic beef notes sung by bone marrow and braised meat. I'd pay double for this stuff if I had to, but please don't tell them that. 

If you've never had pho, this is a good starting point and a prime example of what pho should be.

BTW, peeve #163: pronouncing pho "foe". It's pronounced "fuck" without the "ck".
