If you’re on the hunt for a true hole-in-the-wall gem in Sherman, Pho Shi Bowl is an absolute must-try. I’ll be the first to admit—I wouldn’t say I’m “all in” on Asian cuisine—but I decided to give this place a shot, and wow… I was completely blown away. The portions alone are impressive, so definitely come hungry. I ordered the Chicken Ramen, expecting a standard soup bowl, and instead was greeted with a huge bowl packed with flavor. Every bite was rich, comforting, and honestly some of the best-tasting ramen I’ve had. We also tried the orange chicken with steamed rice, and it was out of this world—crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. What really sealed the deal was the price. After such generous portions and incredible food, I was bracing for a higher bill—but it ended up being surprisingly affordable for a weeknight dinner for two. This is one of those spots you’re excited to tell people about but also want to keep to yourself. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, I’ll definitely be back again very soon.

PROS: One of those hidden gems that locals keep to themselves Great Food Decent Atmosphere and Service Friendly Staff ** Recommended CONS: Long wait time for food (20m+) Located in otherwise empty strip mall development REVIEW: Hidden gem of a place in Sherman with a decent atmosphere, friendly staff and great food! The service was a little slow - they seem to do A LOT of To Go orders - but they were all very friendly. Once we got our food we realized it was worth the wait. We ordered the Ramen, Pho and Chicken Fried Rice. All were excellent - likely the best Pho broth and Fried Rice we've ever had and that is saying A LOT. Pricing is typical for the cuisine - $10-$15 per plate. They also offer Boba, which was a nice treat.

10/30/2025: My family was in Sherman to go to an extracurricular activity and found this pho restaurant through Google Maps. We arrived around 6:20 pm and noticed 3 tables with guests. No employees initially greeted us. A few minutes later, a gentleman came out of the back to seat us and provide menus. We noticed the menu had a multi Asian cuisine offering (Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Burmese) and figured out the owners were not Vietnamese. We ordered an adult beef pho, kid beef pho, combination fried rice, and steamed chicken dumplings. The pho wasn’t authentic beef pho, but we didn’t have a high bar set. There was no real depth of beef flavor and the traditional pho aromatics/spices were not present. The broth in each bowl was overly fatty aka the non skimmed top layer of fat. The noodles were typical and the beef toppings were skimpy compared to authentic pho restaurants. No one finished their pho. The chicken dumplings were just ok. They were like an average, freezer brand, store bought version. The combination fried rice was the most liked of the items ordered. We did find out this family restaurant owners are Burmese. For anyone who has authentic Vietnamese pho, you will be disappointed. But for Sherman, where the pho choices are limited, Pho Shi Bowl is okay.
