Pho Bar (已結業)

lunch 試一試Pho Bar, 要排隊，應該排了十五至二十分鐘左右。餐廳不大，座亦不多，lunch時間必然要排隊。點了個豬頸肉撈檬，份量不大，相信以男仔食量，應該不飽。它沒有set menu, 所以我再叫多個雞翼。雞翼是包了一些類似沙律介末醬的汁，一般，但勝在剛弄起，夠熱也加了一點分。看到其他客人點薯條，好像很好食似的，但沒有點了，因為點了兩樣東西，每人都差不多要$85了。如果以份量和美味程度，$85真的昂貴了一點。下次再找尋性價比較高的越南餐廳吧。

朋友介紹說是正宗的越南河粉。點了個美國牛肉河粉，味道還可以，但非有什麼過人之處。服務有待改善。本來安排我坐在靠門的位子，但突然沒有抱歉的意思把我調到𥚃面。問要拿水但只把整瓶水放在桌上給你自己倒。

又到TGIF, 今次中環搵食，朋友話想清清地食越南河，見利園西街有間成日都好多人排隊，不如試下啦！排左幾個字終於有位，waitress 都好貼心，有派過風扇仔比排隊人士！排左咁耐，當然要對自己好d, 食返個至尊先得啦揀好晒要既配菜就落單，好快就上菜一見到，嘩，勁大碗粉，係我食過最足料既越南河！d 牛肉係多到食唔晒，又有牛丸，又有牛尾，其實食餸都食飽啦個湯都好夠味，朋友覺得濃左一d, 但我又覺得幾岩我口味wo, 結果我係多到食唔晒剩左d 河粉添我地仲叫左個雞翼share, 但呢個就一般啦，只不過係切開左又加左好多沙律醬既普通雞翼，下次唔會叫。

My colleague brought me during lunch. Didn't expect that there is a nice restaurant located behind the hawker stall. The interior design is quite neat and tidy despite it's small shop size. We arrived there at 1pm and joined a long long queue with 20 people before us. I insisted to wait and were seated after 20mins. We filled in the order form during waiting and submit after entering , just like the way Japanese Ramen does. After 5mins, our Pho arrived!! I ordered Premium Combo which includes me

今次我同朋友點左兩碗粉一個小食🍜🍟豬頸肉金邊粉令人喜出望外，金邊粉好好味好彈牙QQ的豬頸肉分量多，十分香口 但係會令成個湯有小小偏油生牛肉河有水準，好多牛而且唔肥膩👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🍟小食點了秘製炸薯條🍟薯條超級新鮮 即叫即炸 熱騰騰 脆卜卜有三個醬點 個人最推薦明太子獎😋😋 下次試埋紫菜炸薯條先回味指數高，價錢都相當合理👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾一定會再返泥食金邊粉同薯條😋😋😋😋😋

這天約朋友到中環食lunch~ 大家不約而同都想食越南餐~ 好的, 就來試一下早前傳聞中的好味越南粉! 剛巧在中午時段,  加上店子細小而坐位又不多, 所以我地在店外等了15分鐘~之後被安排坐在bar枱, 雖然椅子較大, 跟廚房和旁邊食客還有一點點的距離, 但也有點壓迫感, 坐得不太舒服!這裡的食物選擇不多, 而我就選了最貴的"至尊"河粉來試! 滿心期待的"大牛河"終於送上, 我立即嚐一口湯底, 牛湯香濃不錯; 只可惜內裡的牛柳片, 牛腩, 牛肉丸, 牛栢葉, 牛尾, 牛展和扎肉大部份都是碎濕濕的! 就連牛栢葉都剪為一分三的size! 全部細細件之餘加埋都沒有10件! 加上麵底又不算多, 細食的我食完也不夠飽!!  索價HK$88一碗實在很不值! 至於朋友揀的豬頸肉撈檬就沒有驚喜, 不過不失! 由於大家都不夠飽, 所以多點一個"秘製雞翼"! 雞翼賣相好吸引, 配上香草和秘製醬都好好味! 但又好可惜竟然連一隻雞翼都要一開二, 一條骨拆開當為一隻雞翼... 大家發現後都覺得無奈和感到不划算!單看menu本以為好抵食, 可惜配以這樣的份量相信都不會再來第二次!

Was feeling peekish for afternoon tea and decided to give this hidden pho bar a try.The place has an open kitchen which is structured like a sushi / ramen bar. This is a double edged sword - depending if you are doing the right things or showcasing all the wrong things you shouldn't be doing during food preparation. In the case of my visit, it is the latter than the former.I observed the following:1) after my order/ticket was put through, the food was not being immediately prepared by the cook

周六中午去到，不用排隊。在bar枱坐下，點了PHO, 配料差不多全要，跟金邊粉。約等了15分鐘便上菜，看賣相是不錯的，但細看及喝過一口湯之後，發現湯太少及不熱（非常不夠熱）, 金邊粉又過熟。牛肉質素是可以的，湯頭是偏向豉油色的，味道沒有什麼特別。叫作PHO BAR 個pho 湯底可以這樣差？是否銷售對象主要是外國人所以這樣嗎？對湯底要求不一様吧？真的很難理解！沒點小吃，可能會比PHO好吧？當時好像有個老闆在bar內監工，我也有考慮過跟他投訴湯底問題，但想到也既然沒回頭了， 「埋單！」閃！

說起來Pho Bar一直備受不少飲食圈的前輩和朋友讚賞，甚至有一說法：它是城中最好的Pho。但其實它在上年年頭才開設中環的第一間店，主打美式風格的Pro。能在短短一年時間便能有名氣又開分店，算是拿了一張十分不錯的成績表。還記得我前去的印象是："非常難找 ！"因為利源西街的總店根本連標示和招牌也欠奉，所能認得的只是網上圖片看到的店內環境而已；不過它店舖內的裝修設計也很具性格，開放式廚房就佔了半間隔舖，所以座位幾乎九成都是吧檯位。Menu除了主打的越式Pho湯河外，跟Brass Spoon同樣，這裡的牛肉，配料同樣有數款可選擇，但平均價錢卻比前者便宜；而既然是偏向美式，小食方面不只以越式為主，還有如薯條，炸雞之類的美國菜；在香港，以越式Pho的角度看，它都可謂獨樹一格！首件事是先來一碗Pho($78)，先說湯頭，牛骨湯頭的顏色明顯偏深，質感不算太油膩。而且牛肉味偏濃郁，味道鮮甜中帶點酸，不似傳統越式的清淡，卻更是偏重口味。若吃慣傳統的Pho，恐怕一時三刻未必習慣這種味道。河粉方面有一般河粉，金邊粉和意大利翠玉瓜麵選擇，各具特色！不過我還是想先吃一般河粉跟Brass Spoon比較一下。河粉

聽朋友成日講中環新開的Pho Bar嘅牛肉粉似加拿大食開個種味道，所以諗住去試試。點了Pho Bar的特級牛肉粉（生熟牛柳片，牛腩，牛柏葉，牛展）$78，味道其實不錯，但湯底比較太濃牛肉味，不似越南的清淡味道。金邊粉有點兒太幼，差不多接近米粉的質感。最特別是餐廳有提供“海鮮醬+士拉差” 可以有這種食法。點了side dish的雞翼，醬汁是salad醬+mustard味道，都算好食，下次去可再叫。餐廳環境算舒適，類似食拉麵的格局。由於下午2點後先去食，所以不用排隊。評分：7/10

這間店可算是一直在to eat list上但一直找不到機會吃的一間話說早幾個月前已經留意到這店，每次經過都是長長的人龍還要再早出來都是那麼多人在等，真的令人好奇地想真的那麼好吃嗎？某天跟同事外出吃飯，看見竟然沒人在排隊，而店內也有位本來同事問要不要吃，但另一同事拒絕了，而我只好失望地跟他們去吃另家的接著第二天，相約了另一位同事外出吃飯，就建議不如去試這家，幸好這同事很願意跟我試新飯堂我們刻意早點出門，來到店門都是12點多點，已經有幾個人在等了一心想試的我們當然耐心的等，幸好15分鐘後就有位了等待期間，我們看看門口的餐牌決定吃甚麼店內主要是一張長bar枱，最後面也有張高枱，加起來只有十多個位，所以要等不出奇我們被安排坐在bar枱的中間，清楚看到廚師們在煮食bar枱上有tick tick紙，給你選擇要的麵及配料我們都要了生熟牛柳片及叫了個秘製雞翼to share麵等了一回上了份量上中規中矩湯底偏酸牛肉非常嫩，不錯的貨色麵我要了金邊粉，沒甚麼特別不過不知為何，吃到一半湯都被金邊粉吸乾了，金邊粉發脹了不太好吃吃到一半雞翼也到了雞翼已被開邊，方便吃雞翼炸得香脆，加上秘製mayo，不錯吃這餐算是中

I love pho in general, and am always apt to try new ones, and it's safe to say I've found an additional staple. This review will be solely based on the classic version of pho offered by this petite alley store. Most pho-noisseurs would probably agree that the broth and the beef makes for almost the entire character of the dish. The broth here is rich without losing its zest; it's not hard to tell they took the time since early morning to prepare. The beef probably won't be one of the best, but d

在中環上班常常到處探索，尋找美食。那晚OT完特別肚餓，想起這間午飯時間總是大排長龍的越南餐廳，便和同事來試試。除了坐得不太舒適外，食物水準不錯，喜歡吃越南河的值得來試試。而其小食原創性十足亦做得很好吃。

Zucchini noodles are tasty and a welcome addition to HK food scene for the health-conscious eaters but oh my: how small are the portions! The bowl was literally served half-full and my supreme combo bowl with zucchini option came out slightly more than HK$100. For a decent lunch, I would need at least two bowls of these to fill me up.Bottom line: portions too small, won't come back unless this feedback is incorporated and taken into account.

Am usually a big fan of Pho Bar - think they use better quality beef and the soup base is very well done. However, I have had a few consecutive bad experiences with takeout orders, and would like to caution potential customers.1. Pho Bar has become more and more stingy on its soup portions since it opened. I ordered an extra serving of noodle today and only got the regular soup serving, resulting in a VERY VERY DRY lunch and effectively ruining the entire experience. If you order extra noodles p
