Pho Sedona has opened in north Phoenix, landing on the southeast corner of 16th Street and Bell, according to Mouth by Southwest. It’s a welcome addition for anyone in the neighborhood who’s been waiting for another spot to grab a bowl, a sandwich, or a quick rice plate without heading across town.
The menu sounds like it’s aiming to cover the bases and then some. Mouth by Southwest says Pho Sedona’s lineup leans traditional, with banh mi, vermicelli, fried rice, stir-fry noodles, and a hefty selection of 20 namesake phos. There are also a few specialties in the mix, including shaken beef and rotisserie chicken. And yes, Spam fried rice is on the list too, which is the kind of detail that tells you this place is not shy about giving people options.
That corner has seen a few different lives over the years. Mouth by Southwest notes the space previously housed Aimee’s Swine House, Mantra Indian Cuisine and Captain Jo’s. So Pho Sedona is stepping into a spot that already has a history of reinvention, which feels pretty on-brand for Phoenix dining these days. New concepts keep moving into familiar spaces, and the neighborhood gets another chance to make a place its own.
For anyone planning a stop, the restaurant is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to Mouth by Southwest. That makes it an easy fit for lunch, dinner, or one of those in-between meals when you just want something warm, fast and satisfying.
