Pho Real to Observe Lunar New Year With Extended Hours, Special Menu

HOBART, OHIO – Pho Real, the Vietnamese restaurant located in the Riverfront Shoppes on Route 3, will observe Lunar New Year this week with extended dinner hours through Saturday and a limited special menu featuring house-made dumplings and a broth described by owner Lan Nguyen as “not available any other time of year, so don’t ask.”

The restaurant will be open until 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Reservations are not required but are, according to a sign in the window, “appreciated more than you know.”

Pho Real also announced the return of Pho Friday, a weekly Friday lunch special running through March offering a reduced-price bowl and a complimentary spring roll. “People kept asking when it was coming back,” said Nguyen. “So here it is.”
