Pho Redbo Artesia

2025-07-03 My nephew suggested this place for our family dinner. Think Anthony Bourdain would love this if he was alive. I ordered the oxtail pho. It was qa substantial dinner. A large bowl of fresh (vs. dried) pho noodles with a delicious, rich beef broth, topped with generous sprinkling of cilantro, white and green onions. There were 3 chunks of oxtail: two large and 1 small. The meat was sufficiently tender yet stayed intact on the bone. It was delightful. The accompanying herbs were ample, green and fresh. There was a generous supply of lime sections. The bean sprouts comprised solely the white stalks of the mung bean sprouts, which is a rarely seen premium. All the ingredients used are high quality. The condiments (hoisin and chili sauces) are at out of the bottle thicknesses, not watered down. I also had a sample of the wagyu beef pho. It was delicious. The beef was very tender and flavorful. 😋 😋 😋 Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is nicer than the usual pho restaurant, well appointed with the main theme color, a nod to its name (a play on the Thai energy drink). I liked the quiet, relaxing jazz music which played throughout our meal. The restaurant charges a 20% mandatory tip for groups of 6 or more. All tips goes to the staff. I would return to try other dishes and recommend this restaurant.
