A new Vietnamese restaurant opened in downtown Huntington on Wednesday.
According to a report on herald-dispatch.com, Pho U & Mi, located at 1451 3rd Ave. in the former Clean Eatz building, specializes in pho and banh mi and other specialty food and drinks. Pho is a Vietnamese soup that is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine and culture.
“Our bread is baked fresh daily,” said new owner Alex Phan. “At Pho U & Mi we offer quick lunch sandwiches with Vietnamese food, along with a few house specialty dishes, including pho (beef noodle soup) or chicken noodle soup. We also serve rice with curry chicken, as well as wok bang beef with rice. For those who like spicy food, and we have noodle beef stew.”
Phan said the restaurant also will feature appetizers, such as egg rolls, spring rolls and crab rangoon.
“We also offer boba tea of some of the famous flavors,” Phan said. “We also have fruit smoothies to cool you down during these hot summer days.”
The restaurant currently has five employees, but it is still hiring.
Pho U & Mi is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from 11:30 a.m to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
A grand opening is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 18, with Hot Rod Grille being the DJ for the event.
