I saw reviews of this restaurant in the Cleveland magazine and decided to give it a try; it was a pleasant surprise. It is the only place in Cleveland that actually has “broken rice” in its broken rice dish - other restaurants just use normal jasmine rice, and it is a game changer. The grilled pork chop and the meatloaf are really good too. They have plenty of seats, so a large group can easily gather here. Their menus have a variety of dishes, and I can't wait to...read full review
Great food and a pleasant dining environment. We came by in the afternoon between the lunch and dinner rush, so the restaurant wasn't crowded at all.
Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. With a Southeast Asian staff and local Southeast Asian customers dining in, the atmosphere felt truly authentic—and the dishes matched that expectation.
Definitely a reliable spot for authentic pho in a clean and comfortable setting.

Number One Pho, located in Cleveland's old Chinatown near LJ Shanghai, is a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant that has been a local staple for decades. The restaurant is known for its flavorful and rich Pho broth, which many consider the best in the state. The menu has been reduced but still offers a variety of options, including the Seafood Pho, Banh Xeo—a light crispy crepe filled with pork and shrimp served with fresh cucumbers, basil, and Nuoc Maam dipping sauce—and standard dishes like Banh mi and fried rice. The food is served quickly, and portions are generous with affordable prices. The ambiance is simple and old-fashioned, not offering fine dining service, but the staff, including the friendly owner, are attentive and kind. Service is generally fast, and the restaurant is very clean and tidy. Recent reviews mention that despite some challenges in the past, the staff handles issues well, and customers appreciate the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. Parking is plentiful with street parking available, making it convenient for visitors. Overall, Number One Pho remains a favorite for authentic Vietnamese dishes and a warm, friendly dining experience.
