Pho Sure!

Boston's South End is arguably the best neighborhood in the city. Aside from being noted for its brownstones and tree-lined streets, the South End is famous for its array of fantastic eateries. Pho Republique, a Vietnamese-inspired restaurant and bar, is definitely worthy of its space on Washington Street; it's as chic and fabulous as the people inhabiting its surrounding neighborhood. And even better (and perhaps more importantly) - the food is incredible!

Kicking-off my Pho Republique experience were the crispy tuna sashimi springrolls. Stuffed with slices of raw tuna, sticky rice, avocado and lettuce, these springrolls made for the perfect introduction.

Following the springrolls, I tried the sesame crusted tuna steak. The tuna was lightly seared on the outside and topped off with a soy-mustard butter. It was absolutely delectable and I will definitely be ordering it again.

Pho Republique is located at 1415 Washington Street. It's open Sunday thru Saturday; 5:30 pm - 1:30 am.
