Anise Pho

Anise Pho is a Vietnamese restaurant on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh. Pho is the anchor, the bowl of broth and noodles the restaurant takes its name from, and the kitchen also puts out banh mi sandwiches, rice dishes, and spring rolls.

The cooking is described as authentic, which here means the familiar dishes done properly instead of reworked for a broader audience. The restaurant occupies a suite along Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, and it handles food to go about as readily as food eaten at the table.

What to know

• Vegan-friendly options are available for anyone at the table who is skipping meat.
• Orders can be placed online instead of over the phone.
• Reservations can be made in advance.
• The restaurant also takes questions by email.
