The summer of 2011 may go down in Dallas food history as the Summer of Pho. With an influx of pho-serving Vietnamese restaurants into the center of the city, pho fans no longer have to drive out to Garland or Carrollton to get a steaming hot bowl of broth, noodles, veggies and meats. When we put it like that, it sounds simple enough, doesn't it? It's just a bowl of soup, right? No, friends. A good heart- and soul-warming bowl of pho is so much more. Because we respect the pho, Eater Dallas asked our friends, neighbors and favorite gourmands to tell us their go-to pho places in town and in the 'burbs. We found nine pho bowls that are unlikely to disappoint.

Disagree? Have a location to add? Hash it out in the comments, y'all. We're willing to be taken to task if it means finding a great bowl of pho.
