Pho Rib Cubes in Garden Grove, CA – Wagyu at Pho REDBO

Wagyu rib cubes tenderized by slow-simmered 24-hour Wagyu bone broth. Bold and meaty. $20/$23.

Pho rib cubes are cut from the rib section – a bolder, meatier cut than brisket, with a more pronounced beef flavor and a structural density that holds up through the broth soak better than thinner cuts. At Pho REDBO Garden Grove, the rib cubes are Wagyu, which means the fat content that makes this cut worth ordering is at a marbling grade that standard rib cubes don’t reach.

The rib cubes are not the most commonly recognized pho variation – most diners start with pho tai (rare steak) or pho chin (brisket). But for anyone who wants something with more structural presence in the bowl and a bolder beef flavor, the rib cubes are the order. They are also the differentiating element of the Pho Combination – the protein that most distinctly separates it from a standard rare-steak-and-brisket combination bowl.
