So Ba isn’t on the main drag of EAV, so it’s a little harder to accidentally stumble across, but we think their pho alone makes them a worthy landmark. The small, unassuming green exterior is matched by their laid-back interior that squeezes in roughly 10 tables, which are always filled. Whether you’re having a casual date night, eating with your new baby in tow, or grabbing a cơm or bun dish with friends before hitting the bars, anything goes here. So Ba closes at 10pm and transforms into late-night spot Octopus Bar, so come early to get any of their pho options (they’re all tasty) and be sure to order extra brisket because it melts in your mouth and we always leave wanting more.
