When the evenings get cooler in Diamond Bar, nothing beats a big, steaming bowl of something warm. In Vietnamese kitchens, that usually means phở, but it can also mean bò kho, a fragrant beef stew that’s just as comforting and a little less famous.
We’re Phở Hà Plus on Golden Springs Drive in Diamond Bar, serving traditional, family-crafted broths and classic Vietnamese flavors, all slow-simmered in our kitchen.
Here are eight warm bowls worth ordering this November, starting with the stew and finishing with a strong Vietnamese coffee.
Bò Kho- Beef Stew
Let’s start with the star. Our Bò Kho is made with beef that’s slowly cooked for several hours until it’s tender and very flavorful. Traditionally, bò kho is a rich, reddish stew perfumed with lemongrass and star anise, with soft carrots in every spoonful. You can have it with bread, rice, rice noodle, egg noodle or flat fresh noodle. The bread is our favorite way: tear it and dip.
House Special Phở – Tái Nạm Gầu Bò Viên
If you’re in a phở mood, the House Special is the classic order. It comes loaded with rare steak, flank, fatty brisket and beef meatballs, so every bite is a little different. The thin slices of rare steak cook gently in the hot broth as you eat. Not sure what tái, nạm or gầu mean? Our guide to the beef in your phở explains each one.
Chicken Phở
Prefer chicken? We’re very proud of our Chicken Phở, made with chicken breast that’s juicy and tender, paired with a little ginger sauce on the side. It’s lighter than the beef bowls but just as comforting, and it’s the bowl many people reach for when the weather turns or when they’re feeling a little under the weather. Add a squeeze of lime and plenty of fresh herbs.
Bone Marrow (No Noodle)-Xí Quách
This one is for the broth lovers. Our Bone Marrow bowl is very hearty and full of collagen, and it comes with just the broth, no noodles. It’s rich, savory and deeply warming, the kind of bowl you sip slowly on a cold evening. Order it on its own, or pair it with an order of our crispy Vietnamese Egg Rolls 2pcs- Chả Giò for something crunchy on the side.
Seafood Phở
Want to switch things up from beef? Our Seafood Phở, as the name promises, brings seafood together with our slow-simmered broth and soft rice noodles. It’s a lighter, briny take on the classic bowl, and it’s great for anyone who loves shrimp and seafood. Add a few jalapeño slices if you like heat, or keep it gentle with herbs and lime. Either way, it’s warm and satisfying.
Vegetarian Phở- Phở Chay
Our Vegetarian Phở is a very hearty noodle soup with plenty of vegetables, mushrooms and tofu. It proves you don’t need meat to enjoy a deeply satisfying bowl of phở. It’s earthy, filling and great for mixed groups where not everyone eats meat. Pair it with our fresh Vegetarian Spring Rolls- Gỏi Cuốn Chay for a complete, plant-based meal that still feels like a treat.
Create Your Own Phở
Can’t decide? Build your own. With Create Your Own Phở, you choose up to three toppings, so you can make the bowl exactly how you like it. It’s perfect for picky eaters and adventurous ones alike. Feeding the whole family? Our family-style group ordering guide has tips, and our Bò Lúc Lắc or Bò Lá Lốt guide covers two more beef favorites to share.
Ca Phe Sua Da Vietnamese Coffee
Finish with a Vietnamese classic. Traditionally, cà phê sữa đá is strong, dark coffee sweetened with condensed milk and poured over ice. It’s bold, creamy and sweet, and it’s the perfect pick-me-up after a big bowl of soup. Prefer something even more indulgent? Try our Toasted Egg Coffee or Ube Foam Coffee, two signature drinks that are as fun to look at as they are to sip.
