The Post raves about the Vietnamese restaurant’s pho beef broth, “fragrant with star anise and cinnamon, crammed with thin rice noodles and scattered with cilantro and scallions.”Most of the 17 pho variations mix and match different cuts of beef. Notably, Pho 75 is a cash-only establishment. Le Thiep and Binh Ngo founded Pho 75 in 1985, naming it after the year of the Fall of Saigon. Pho 75 now has a total of eight locations: six in the D.C. area and two in the Philadelphia area.
