Hidden Gem in Bartlett (PHO 64)

I’ve been on the hunt for a local Vietnamese spot that serves up authentic, comforting cuisine—and I found one completely by accident. After missing a turn, I ended up in a small neighborhood center in Bartlett and stumbled upon Pho 64, a cozy, no-frills diner with sweet, savory aromas that hit you the moment you walk through the door.

Pho 64 is known for its soul-warming rice noodle soups, fresh spring rolls, and other Vietnamese staples. During my visit, I decided to try the Curry Tofu with Mixed Veggies—and let me just say, it did not disappoint.

The dish was full of bold, vibrant flavor. Cooked with lemongrass, colorful vegetables, creamy coconut milk, toasted peanuts, and warm curry spices, every bite felt like a little celebration. The tofu was cooked just right—lightly crisped on the outside and tender on the inside. The peanuts added a nice crunch and balanced beautifully with the richness of the coconut milk. It had just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting without being overpowering. While it’s traditionally served with steamed rice, I opted for noodles—and I’m so glad I did.

If you’re craving a hearty bowl of pho or flavorful curry, check out Pho 64. It’s a true hidden gem worth discovering. You can find them on Facebook at Pho 64.
