Pho Minh Ky

On my quest to find cheap, delicious and authentic Vietnamese Pho, I stumbled across this small family run Pho restaurant in downtown Lynn. The atmosphere is usually always busy when we come in which makes it promising but there is usually never a wait for a table.

I usually get a regular Pho dish with Tripe, shredded beef and a bunch of assorted vegetables. My first time coming here, i made the poor mistake of putting too much Sriracha in my soup which ruined it for me. The second time i came it was 100% more enjoyable.

I will HIGHLY recommend getting an avocado with your pho as it has dramatically changed my pho experience. HOWEVER, Pho Minh Ky charges 5$ for an additional Hass Avocado so do be prepared to spend more money in that case. In terms of pricing for pho, it is very cheap. A small bowl is about 9$ which is reasonably sized and will meet most peoples hunger levels. They do Small, Large and Extra Large which makes me happy because at other places i’m stuck with one size and that is DEFEATING when you cannot finish the meal. At least here you have a chance to prove your worth.

Overall, I’m happy and satisfied with Pho Minh Ky’s restaurant and their food is definitely something to put on your list of things to try on downtown Lynn. I can’t wait for my next Pho trip here and I’ll hope to dine with them soon!
