Pho Ga is Pho 78's lighter, cleaner-tasting alternative to beef pho — a delicate, aromatic chicken broth served with tender poached chicken, silky rice noodles, and a full plate of fresh Vietnamese garnishes.
Pho Ga is Vietnamese chicken noodle soup at its finest. At Pho 78, our chicken broth is prepared separately from the beef — slow-cooked with whole chicken, charred ginger, onion, and a lighter blend of warming spices that allows the natural chicken flavour to shine through. The result is a clear, golden broth that is clean, comforting, and deeply aromatic.
Tender sliced chicken breast or thigh is placed atop smooth rice noodles and ladled with the hot broth, then finished with green onions and fresh white onion. Served with the traditional garnish plate of bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime, and jalapeno, Pho Ga is the ideal bowl for those who prefer a lighter, leaner pho experience — or for guests who are new to Vietnamese cuisine.
Pho Ga is popular with families, health-conscious diners, and anyone who prefers a milder, chicken-based broth. It's a menu staple at Pho 78, and one of our most ordered bowls by guests visiting from Renfrew, Vista Heights, and Mayland Heights. Whether it's your first time trying pho or you're a long-time fan of Vietnamese food, Pho Ga delivers every time.

"I order the chicken pho every week. The broth is light but so full of flavour — nothing watery about it. Staff are warm and make you feel right at home."
