Pho Xic Lo
Inside Pho Xic Lo
Pho Xic Lo is a laid-back Vietnamese restaurant located on Wyandotte Street West in Windsor, offering a straightforward yet satisfying escape for anyone craving authentic pho and other Vietnamese staples. The place strikes a balance between casual dining and efficiently friendly service, making it easy to pop in for either a quick lunch or a relaxed evening meal with family or friends.
The atmosphere here is welcoming without fuss—think of a neighborhood spot where familiar faces from Windsor’s diverse community come for consistent, no-nonsense meals. It’s not lavish or styled for weekend celebrations, but rather a dependable stop for those who appreciate well-executed Vietnamese cuisine and generous portions.
The menu especially shines with its pho varieties, including a notably rich, clear broth that draws in repeat patrons seeking comfort food with depth, often becoming a go-to during cold days or when under the weather. The rare beef pho and grilled chicken options are highlights that seem to garner particular attention for their balanced flavors and fresh ingredients. Beyond pho, rice vermicelli bowls with grilled proteins, vibrant spring and summer rolls, and stir-fried crispy noodles with seafood provide a range of textures and tastes that reflect the regional culinary traditions of Vietnam. Milkshakes like the coconut or lychee variants add a refreshing complement to the meal.
Visitors often mention the thoughtful service dynamic—staff tend to be attentive and helpful, willing to accommodate adjustments when needed, which supports a relaxed dining experience rather than a hurried or overly formal one. Takeout is popular here as well, with packaging designed to maintain the meal’s integrity, making it a practical option for busy locals who want a comforting bowl delivered home or to the office.
Pho Xic Lo suits those who seek authentic Vietnamese flavors without pretense and value efficiency combined with genuine hospitality. It works well for solo diners craving a quick pho fix, small groups after work, or families looking for a casual, flavor-rich dinner. Midday through early evenings on weekdays and weekends provide the best windows to avoid rushes while still soaking in the local vibe.
