Pho Xe Lua sits on Race Street in Chinatown, running a menu that covers both Vietnamese and Thai territory. Soup gets real estate here, with dedicated sections for beef noodle soup, egg or rice noodle soup, and combination vermicelli bowls, alongside rice plates, stir-fried noodles, and vegetarian options.
Reviewers point to noodles, green curry, beef pie, and the big bowl as regular orders, with the broth and portion sizes coming up often as the draw. It's built a reputation as a community favorite, the kind of place people return to for the same order year after year.
