About

About Pho 21

Pho 21 is a Vietnamese restaurant chain built around a single obsession: the perfect bowl of pho. The name references the 21 distinct ingredients — spices, aromatics, and bones — that go into every batch of the slow-simmered broth, a figure the brand wears as a badge of culinary commitment. From the first star anise added to the stockpot to the final ladle into a steaming bowl, the process takes hours and follows a recipe rooted in the street-food traditions of Hanoi and Saigon.

Beyond pho, Pho 21 offers a broad menu that captures the everyday Vietnamese dining experience: chargrilled meat vermicelli bowls (bun), rice plate combinations (com), crusty banh mi sandwiches layered with pickled vegetables and fresh herbs, and crispy or fresh spring rolls for starters. The restaurant's atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, positioned to make Vietnamese cuisine accessible to both longtime fans and first-time diners.

With locations spread across the United States, Pho 21 has grown into one of the more recognizable Vietnamese casual-dining chains in the country. Each location aims to deliver consistent quality through standardized broth preparation while sourcing fresh garnishes — bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and jalapeños — served tableside so guests can customize their bowl to taste.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does the '21' in Pho 21 mean?

The '21' refers to the 21 ingredients used in Pho 21's signature broth recipe. These include a blend of spices, aromatics, and bones — such as star anise, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and various cuts of beef — that are slow-simmered together for hours to build the broth's deep, layered flavor.

What types of pho does Pho 21 serve?

Pho 21 serves a range of traditional Vietnamese pho varieties including Pho Tai (eye round beef), Pho Nam (flank), Pho Bo Vien (beef meatballs), Pho Dac Biet (the house special combination), Pho Ga (chicken), and Pho Chay (vegetarian). Most varieties are available in small and large sizes.

Does Pho 21 have vegetarian or vegan options?

Yes. Pho 21 offers vegetarian-friendly dishes including Pho Chay (vegetable pho in a meatless broth), Bun Chay (tofu vermicelli bowl), Com Chay (tofu and vegetable rice plate), and Banh Mi Chay (vegetarian banh mi). Many of these items can also be prepared vegan. Check with your location for specific broth preparation details.

How spicy is the Bun Bo Hue?

Bun Bo Hue is a Central Vietnamese noodle soup known for its spicy, lemongrass-forward broth. At Pho 21, the spice level is moderate by default and reflects traditional Hue-style cooking — noticeably hotter than regular pho. Most locations offer the option to adjust spice level upon request.

What comes with a bowl of pho at Pho 21?

Each bowl of pho is typically served with a side plate of fresh garnishes including bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and sliced jalapeños so guests can customize their bowl at the table. Hoisin sauce and Sriracha are usually provided as table condiments as well.

Does Pho 21 serve banh mi sandwiches?

Yes. Pho 21's banh mi menu includes grilled pork, grilled chicken, cold cut combo (thit nguoi), and a vegetarian tofu option. All are served on a toasted French baguette with pickled daikon and carrots, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, and house sauce — a classic Vietnamese sandwich build.

Are there gluten-free options at Pho 21?

Rice noodles used in pho and vermicelli bowls are naturally gluten-free, making those dishes a solid choice for gluten-sensitive diners. However, some broths and sauces (such as hoisin) may contain gluten. It's best to notify your server of any dietary restrictions so the kitchen can accommodate you.

How much does a bowl of pho cost at Pho 21?

Pho 21 prices vary by location. Based on publicly reported prices, a small bowl typically runs around $11–$12 and a large bowl around $13–$14, with the combination Pho Dac Biet at the higher end. Prices may differ depending on your city and whether the location is a franchise. Always confirm with your local restaurant.

Does Pho 21 offer takeout or delivery?

Most Pho 21 locations offer takeout orders. Delivery availability depends on the specific location and may be available through third-party platforms such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub. Check the Pho 21 website or your preferred delivery app to see if your nearest location delivers.
