Tucked into Cleveland’s miniature Chinatown, #1 Pho is anything but overlooked. Up against many other types of Asian cuisine, this Vietnamese spot does quite well, drawing a large lunchtime business crowd. Patrons are nestled among soothing, dark woods as well as tasteful paintings complementing modern décor. The fresh, carefully wrapped spring rolls and the house salad, served with a fish sauce, make for excellent beginners. As the name suggests, pho is a popular choice on the rather full menu. With chicken, beef, shrimp and vegetables, this hearty soup is enough to please any stomach. The pho has competition, however. The Vietnamese specialty bun bo hue is a lemon grass soup served with beef brisket, sliced thin. If you’re less apt to venture into the exotic, you can order hu tieu ga, the Vietnamese version of chicken noodle soup. The menu offers a variety of chicken, beef and seafood specialties, as well as many broken rice dishes. The beef and rice options are served with an array of sides. Don’t be afraid to top off your meal with some sweet Vietnamese coffee and an authentic dessert. The reasonable pricing allows you to indulge yourself. There is also a full range of Asian beers and a complete bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Late-night Fri–Sat. Named Best Other Asian Restaurant in the 2008 Cleveland magazine Silver Spoon Awards.
