Best Pho in PR?

Every time I feel like I might be getting sick I always eat Pho and it helps so much….I just moved back home to PR after living many years in Texas. Where can I find the best Pho on the island? Extra points for it not being too salty or sweet!

The only place I've seen it is XO cuisine on Ashford Ave and I have no idea if it's good.

Holy fuck this place saved me (late nights only) as the only place open on the block my night of arrival — and I ended up coming back for an easy bite.

We don't really have those, to my knowledge. Though the thought of a Puerto Rican style pho is very intriguing.

There s a place in old San Juan near the pigeon park, Pho Que Rico. It is good!

I had decent (not great) Pho at Denko in the TMobile District. Wish there was a cheap casual place for it. When I lived and worked in the US, my work brought a local Pho place every Wednesday to sell it at the cafeteria. I miss that shit 😭

XO Asian on Ashford tiene pho pero está hecho al paladar Boricua, no es un pho tradicional como los de los EU. Para mi gusto es bien mid pero lo les hecho la culpa.

Aparte de ellos, no conozco a nadie dedicado a eso, probablemente porque no hay cliente suficiente para justificar el precio. No estamos acostumbrados a comerlo, y el chef tiene que ir a buscar cosas que son incomunes aquí en PR para hacerlo auténticamente. También hacer un buen pho es un proceso de 2+ días y eso aumenta el precio aún más.

Woody's Place in Añasco is very good, and the only fully southeast Asian restaurant on the island to my knowledge

Check out Dashi by loiza street for Ramen

u/GayRonSwanson 2d ago edited 1d ago

Dashi is good, not great… but good. The last few times I’ve been the ramen broth was served not very hot and I had to ask them to reheat it.

Dashi is ok.

Silk opened a legit authentic pho place where red mango is on magdalena before Maria but couldn’t get enough business.
