As of the last time I went to Pho 99 I would say they have the best pho out of the places I’ve been to. Their special combination pho is excellent in all areas including the variety of meats. There are fancier places in Edison, but I am not in the business of paying big bucks on fancy pho.
If you want more than pho I would go to pho da nang in Sayreville, they have the best viet menu by a wide margin.
Having said that, I have not been to any of the other places mentioned except Miss Saigon and that was one time like 15 years ago.
As you can see pho 99’s bowl is pretty impressive pho 99 Eatontown - #55 by joonjoon
When I get pho I always ask for rare beef on the side and for an extra side of “nuoc beo” - beef fat with scallions. I like to add the nuoc beo in stages to my meal so I can go from clean broth to fatty broth as I go.
In the past couple years I’ve only had pho from my local joint here in South Plainfield (Saigon) which is priced right and has all the things I want. The other spots around me are priced significantly higher and I’m not about to pay close to 20 bucks for a bowl unless it’s got stuff like oxtail which pho99 delivers.
