Pho Dac Biet — translated as 'House Special Beef Pho' — is the flagship dish of Pho 78 Vietnamese Restaurant. Every bowl begins with a slow-simmered bone broth that takes hours to develop: beef bones, roasted onion and ginger, and a carefully measured blend of star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom combine to create a broth that is deeply complex, warming, and unmistakably Vietnamese.
The 'Dac Biet' combination includes rare sliced beef (tai), well-done brisket (nam), tendon (gan), and tripe (sach) — the full house special. A generous portion of rice noodles is layered below, and the bowl is finished with green onions and white onions. Served alongside a fresh plate of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedges, and jalapeno, every guest customizes their bowl to perfection.
