7 Best Pho Restaurants in Oklahoma!
Vietnam refugees brought pho to America following the war, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that pho became mainstream. The broth appears quite simple, but the flavors are complex. Typically, it’s served with rice noodles, beef or chicken, and herbs and vegetables as garnishes. Here are great restaurants where you can find pho in Oklahoma.

The pho at Keo is highly recommended, but everything on the menu is good. The atmosphere is a little more upscale, but don’t feel as if you have to dress up too much.
