Top 12 Best Pho Restaurants in Phu Quoc – Local Guide 2026

Quick answer: The best pho in Phu Quoc is concentrated in Duong Dong town, where a bowl costs just $1–3. For Hanoi-style pho, head to Pho Ganh or Pho Ly Quoc Su; for Southern-style, try Pho Saigon or Pho Thanh. Most shops open from 6:00 AM – pho is the island’s favorite breakfast  – and several serve until late at night.

When travelers think of Phu Quoc food, fresh seafood, herring salad, and the island’s famous Bun Quay usually come to mind first. But here’s what few visitors know: pho is quietly excellent on this island too. Rich, aromatic broth, tender rice noodles, perfectly cooked beef – the bowls here hold their own against Hanoi and Saigon. Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast before a boat trip or a late-night bowl after the night market, pho is always a reliable choice.
