Pho Momma
A Michelin Bib Gourmand-recommended Vietnamese pho spot offering great value, praised for its slow-simmered broths and signature spring rolls.
Awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 Michelin Guide, this unassuming spot is praised by Michelin for its thoughtful cooking and quality ingredients. The pho comes in various sizes, with a choice of slow-simmered chicken or beef broth, paired with tender meats or homemade pork wontons. Michelin highly recommends the fresh spring rolls, especially the crispy pork sausage spring rolls served with a tangy peanut sauce. Diners also frequently order the garlic noodles and fish sauce chicken wings. Online reservations are not accepted, so you must call; lines of over a dozen people are common outside during peak hours. The price point is low. Located at 9555 Folsom Boulevard in the eastern part of the city, about 13 km from downtown; driving is recommended.
