“You don’t need a high-falutin’ map to get to the best grub; you just have to know where the locals eat.”
If you call Pompano Beach home, you’re accustomed to having it all—gorgeous beaches, excellent shopping, and a thriving community. But when the urge for true, soul-stirring Vietnamese cuisine strikes, where do you turn? Pho Steak Bowl!
You shouldn’t have to compromise on anything less than great because the greatest choice isn’t in your immediate zip code. You deserve food that’s so great, you’d be more than happy to drive a little out of your way for it.
At Pho Steak Bowl, we take pride in being that place for all Pompano Beach residents. Although our cozy, family-owned restaurant is conveniently located in Margate, we consider ourselves your local source for the very best Vietnamese cuisine near Pompano Beach. Great food and a real experience are worth the short drive. Our specialty is in the love and attention we bring to every plate, employing ancient recipes and fresh ingredients to deliver each bite as one to remember.
Is Our Pho Broth Actually Liquid Gold? The Answer is: Yes
The best and flavorful Vietnamese food near Pompano Beach is unique in that it embodies a philosophy of balance, incorporating sweet, sour, salty, spicy, and bitter flavors, as well as various textures and temperatures. This devotion to harmony is precisely why it’s not only tasty but also one of the world’s healthiest culinary cultures.
Here’s why Vietnamese cuisine, particularly our own, has hit a chord with modern diners:
The Fresh of the Fresh
Vietnamese cuisine is packed with raw vegetables and herbs, and they are great for your body and imbue an amazing, light flavor experience. We pick up our freshest mint, Thai basil, cilantro, and bean sprouts every day. When those fresh ingredients combine with the heat of the broth or the creaminess of the dipping sauce, that’s where the magic is.
Gluten-Free by Nature
Much of our menu relies on rice and rice noodles, which are naturally gluten-free. This makes it an easy and delicious choice for anyone with gluten sensitivities who doesn’t want to sacrifice flavor.
Simplicity and Quality
We maintain simplicity in our cooking techniques—long, slow simmering for the broth, and rapid grilling or stir-frying for the proteins. This way, the quality of the ingredients can shine through without using heavy creams, butter, or copious amounts of oil. It’s a clean-eating experience that doesn’t resemble a diet.
What Should I Order If I’m Only Visiting From Pompano Beach?
When you make the short drive from Pompano Beach to our Margate location, you’ll discover a menu that’s an honest tour of Vietnam. We’ve taken years honing these recipes to ensure each dish offers a true, authentic experience.
The Ultimate Pho Experience
Pho is all you can talk about when discussing Vietnamese cuisine. Our broth cooks for more than 24 hours with our secret blend of spices to achieve a full, rich, and deep flavor. We offer every traditional option, ranging from our lean Rare Steak Pho to our meaty Beef Ball Pho.
The Ideal Quick Meal
Vermicelli Bowls (Bún): For a lighter meal, try our Vermicelli bowls. It’s a colorful combination of cold rice noodles, fresh lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and your protein of choice (our Lemongrass Grilled Chicken is a must-try). You drizzle the dressing over it all and toss it up—it’s the ideal crunchy, savory, refreshing meal for a balmy South Florida afternoon.
Appetizers That Pop and Snap
Our appetizers are the perfect start to a fun evening. Our Fresh Spring Rolls (Gỏi Cuốn) are a nutritious, hand-rolled snack, and our crunchy, golden Fried Egg Rolls (Chả Giò) provide the ideal, filling crunch. Order one of each for both worlds!
