The Soup At This Pawtucket Eatery That The Locals Adore Is Pho-nomenal

It’s soup season.

Whether you have an Instant Pot or not (the word’s out — air fryers are this year’s Insta Pots), you’ll still want to know about Pho Horn’s, the casual Vietnamese eatery that’s tucked away in a strip mall not far from the Providence/Pawtucket line.

TB To Winter At PH

I had my first steaming hot bowl of pho, the classic Vietnamese soup, there last winter. They make mine vegetarian, with a vegetable broth and tofu instead of the more traditional beef broth and meat or fish add-ins, and it was most definitely something to upload to IG Stories about.

The rice noodles are dangerously good and do not soak up all the broth, as other ones are wont to do. The serving size is also substantial and filling enough to be a fantastic stand alone meal. I mean, is there anything better on a chilly winter day than dipping into a pipping hot order of soup?

Also, the only reason I found out about this place really is because someone in my circle was there for lunch last winter and raved about the bowl of pho she’d had. She also said it is always busy, these days that probably means carryout and take away but you get the idea. (Read: It has a cult following.)

The exterior, however, is about as nondescript as it gets, so you might be tempted to pass it by. That, however, would be a mistake of epic proportions.

Just go and warm up by picking up a big bowl of their phenomenal pho.

*Pho Horn’s is located at 50 Ann Mary Street in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
