Phobu

One weekend, we saw an advertisement for Restaurant Week in Fort Lee, NJ. It is not in the same way the NYC restaurant week is done… Most places just had some discount on some items. This spot that offered 2-course meal, a bit similar to NYC restaurant week offers. They are open early, but with limited staff. We arrived before 10am, and it was almost empty. We were greeted by a friendly and courteous staff immediately. This place is kind of Korean-Vietnamese, we received a complimentary Kimchi. Many Korean dishes or food with Korean twist. We got Porkbelly Bun as our RW appetizer. It was actually much better than I expected it to be! For main, we ordered Pho with Brisket and Flank, and Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice. The portion was really nice and large. Pho tasted very clean, light and flavorful. Kimchi fried rice came piping hot, spicy, and very tasty. They also had a side item on the RW menu, Kimchi Bulgogi Fries. It sounded good, so we ordered this one too. A bit smaller in portion than I thought, but it was meaty and very satisfying. Addictive and tasty! The food was great, and the price was even better! We really enjoyed them all. The staff was polite and attentive. Great find!

This restaurant is three in one(3in1). Vietnamese rice noodle , Shabu Shabu and Korean Octopus restaurant.. We had pho and spicy Octopus on rice. Rest room are too little for big place. Only two(one femal and one male)and it was not clean. Service was fast but never come back for more water till we called them.

I came in for a late lunch on a Saturday with my boyfriend and his parents at around 2:30 and it was pretty empty at that time. We had two orders of the spring rolls (1 order = 1 roll cut in half). It was good, but these definitely weren't Vietnamese spring rolls. For my main, I had the dirty pho (+$1), made with their dirty broth, supposedly a denser version of pho broth. I felt like their 'dirty pho' is just what other Vietnamese places would normally serve. My BF had a small side order of the regular pho and it seems like they just used regular chicken broth. The pork belly banh mi wasn't that much better either. Phobu seems like a Korean restaurant pretending to be a Vietnamese restaurant. If you're looking for authentic Vietnamese food, this is definitely not it.

Best Pho in Fort Lee. I went there my first time for Fort Lee restaurant week. The pho was tasty and in good amount. The medium size pho is even more than the other Pho restaurant in Fort Lee. The appetizer porkbelly bun is great. The environment is clean and comfortable. Staff are nice. The even have lots of parking lot. I will definitely come back again for more Pho and Korean ShamBu.
