Vietnamese restaurant Pho Saigon opens new location in Hattiesburg
Pho Saigon, a favorite restaurant for many people in Hattiesburg , opened a second location on June 17 and is expanding the reach of authentic Vietnamese food in the city. Located at 5182 Old Highway 11, Pho Saigon II serves authentic Vietnamese food made with fresh ingredients. The second location currently features the same menu as the first location that has been on Hardy Street for years. "I just want all people to know that this location has the same owner and the same kind of food," said Hung Ta, owner of Pho Saigon. "Maybe in the future I will make a lot more new dishes. I want to make some kind of difference from the first one and second one." Ta bought the first location four years ago after the previous owners approached him about taking over the business. "The old owner ran the business down and tried to sell it to me to bring it up," Ta said. "They told me they didn't want the only Vietnamese restaurant in Hattiesburg to close down." Upon taking over, Ta changed everything. He created a new menu and introduced different styles of service. He has worked in restaurants for 19 years
