While Madison Heights has cornered the market on Vietnamese cuisine, there are plenty of other places in metro Detroit that cater to the pho-loving crowd. What is “pho,” you ask? Pho bowls are a traditional Vietnamese dish typically consisting of rice noodles in a beef broth with steak and beef trimmings. Though, variations on this noodle bowl, like chicken or shrimp bowls, are plentiful, too. Whether you’re looking for a new favorite pho spot or trying pho for the first time, here are five places in metro Detroit worth checking out!

Thang Long Thai & Vietnamese Restaurant

The menu at Thang Long in Madison Heights is extensive, probably thanks to the combination of both Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.

Flowers of Vietnam
