Pho 321 Noodle bar — Restaurant in Tokyo

Good pho served with fresh ingredients in a relaxing and clean environment at a decent price. But why don't they do beef pho? This is a great place to drop by if you're either by yourself or with a few friends. Start with lunch, have a great long conversation and order some drinks - it's basically a restaurant and cafe at the same time.

The food was basically ramen-priced; about 750 ish for the pho (chicken, seafood or vegetable) and 250 for "1/2 a spring roll" (1 person serving). You are basically paying for fresh ingredients, atmosphere and location (in that order).

The atmosphere is pretty cafe-like with really nice staff, clean/trendy decor (marine themed?) and you can see them prepare the fresh vegetables at the front of the shop, too. Nothing against Viet pop but this was one of the few times in my life I've been able to have pho without music videos and Viet pop blaring in the background.

But coming back - where is the beef pho??? Maybe the hearty servings of tendons, tripe, etc. don't go well with the fancy decor? Or perhaps beef prices in Japan are too expensive/prohibitive to serve it the way...

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese PHO, this is not the place. The pho here is far from what real pho should taste like.

Most of the positive reviews are from years ago, and it seems the ownership has changed. The new management doesn’t appear to be Vietnamese and clearly doesn’t understand what pho is supposed to be. We ordered the chicken pho, but the broth was flavorless and bland.

We barely managed a few bites—maybe 5% of the bowl—before giving up. It’s unfortunate to waste food, but it was...

The interior is super stylish. Not too many tables, but up to 3 people can wait inside for a free table. There are vegetarian option! The Pho tasted amazing. You can choose between three sizes. The deli chopped salad was particularly nice, too. Lemon slices were available, but unfortunately there were no freshly chopped chili, or herbs. That being said, the flavor was amazing as is. The coffee was not worth the money though. Skip. Will come again to...
