Before you go
- Sate (satay) pho is a spicy, peanutty broth. Pho Dau Bo is known for it; ask how hot it runs before you order.
- Two of these are on 17 Ave SE in Forest Lawn, the stretch called International Avenue, so one trip can cover both.
- Hours vary and some spots close one day a week. Check before you cross town.
