Pho 1
Last inspected: Apr 7, 2026
26
Score
Pho 1 appears in inspection records 12 times, starting in 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Apr 7, 2026. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around seven violations to closer to 13 violations per visit.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “employee with no hair restraint while engaging”, showing up seven times.
Compared to other Largo restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
