Pho Lane o ers a ordable Vietnamese cuisine
The restaurant serves “Texas-sized” egg rolls ($4.75) , owner Trinh Yambao said.
Yambao said they wanted to do something they are passionate about and food t the bill. She said her mother and brother are also passionate about cooking, adding that before opening the restaurant, she would often challenge herself by asking what she could cook for her family that is better than what she cooked last time. “I love watching the family take the rst bite after preparing the meal,” Yambao said. What’s on the menu? The restaurant serves pho, a traditional Viet- namese soup, prepared with basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapenos, onions, limes and the custom- er’s choice of broth.
Pho Lane’s menu is small, o ering Vietnamese cuisine with a street food approach, co-owner Trinh Yambao said. The restaurant opened in November 2023, and Yambao said her philosophy is that everyone should be able to come into the restaurant and experience good food at an a ordable price. The background Yambao owns the restaurant with her husband Mike, she said, adding that the couple relocated to McKinney from New Mexico and immediately fell in love with the area. They knew it was where they wanted to lay their roots and raise their family. They both have backgrounds in the medical eld, Yambao said, noting that after moving to McKinney, they decided it was time to do something di erent.
