About this spot
Tucked away in Tsuruhashi's labyrinthine alleyways, this Vietnamese spot serves steaming bowls of pho that rival the city's famous hotpot scene. The broth is rich and aromatic, perfectly balancing the savory depth of charred ginger with a hint of star anise common in Osaka's local spice blends.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra rice noodles to soak up the flavorful dregs at the bottom of your bowl.
- Bring cash as many small eateries in Tsuruhashi do not accept credit cards.
- Ask for 'chua' (sour) on your pho if you want a splash of lime and fish sauce added.
