Phở SOL

Phở SOL is a Northern Vietnamese noodle restaurant on Nguyễn Trường Tộ Street, District 4, Ho Chi Minh City. The restaurant stands a short distance south of the Bến Nghé Canal and the Calmette Bridge. The brand originated under the name Phở Thìn by SOL before transitioning to its current title. The dining space features a multi-level layout with enclosed, air-conditioned seating. Simple wooden furniture, tile flooring, and large glass windows define the interior.

The kitchen specializes in phở tái lăn, a traditional Hanoi dish of stir-fried rare beef. Cooks sear sliced beef over high heat with garlic and mounds of green scallions. The kitchen simmers beef marrow bones and dried sea worms to create a fragrant, savory broth. Purified alkaline ionized water provides the base for the slow-simmered beef stock. Other soup options include stone-bowl pho with Wagyu beef cuts and tender braised beef ribs.

The menu extends beyond beef soups to cover Northern culinary classics. The kitchen prepares bún chả with grilled pork patties, fresh greens, rice vermicelli, and dipping sauce. Diners can also order phở cuốn, consisting of fresh rice sheets wrapped around beef and herbs. Additional items include crispy puffed pho squares alongside dry mixed noodles tossed in house sauce. Crispy fried dough crullers accompany the steaming noodle bowls.

Phở SOL operates as part of an established noodle chain across Ho Chi Minh City. The branch draws nearby office workers during lunch and local residents throughout the evening. Table service runs continuously from early morning into the night. Takeaway counters and delivery orders supplement the dine-in operations.
