Build the Pho now open at Great Northern Mall

 

North Olmsted, Ohio – July 17, 2025 – Craving something bold, fresh, and customizable? Build the Pho has officially opened its doors at Great Northern Mall, offering guests a delicious new way to enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

 

Best known for its “build-your-own-bowl” concept, Build the Pho allows guests to fully customize their pho experience with a wide variety of noodles, broths, and proteins. Owner Eric Weng says the personalized model offers diners more flexibility and creativity than traditional pho menus.

“Our guests love having control over what goes into their bowl,” says Weng. “Whether they want something light and plant-based or hearty and meaty, they can make it their own.”

All broths — including rich beef and savory vegan options — are crafted fresh in-house each day. Guests can build their perfect bowl by choosing from four noodle varieties: traditional rice, wide rice, egg noodles, or vermicelli.

The protein selection is just as generous, offering everything from rare beef, brisket, and meatballs to beef tendon, tripe, sliced chicken, shrimp, and tofu — with the option to double or triple your favorites for an extra hearty meal.

Beyond pho, the menu also highlights a variety of Vietnamese staples, including fresh spring and summer rolls, grilled pork buns, and flavorful grilled steak over rice.

In addition to pho, the menu also features classic Vietnamese dishes like fresh spring and summer rolls, grilled pork buns, and grilled steak over rice.

Build the Pho is now welcoming diners at Great Northern Mall. Stop in to experience a flavorful new addition to North Olmsted’s growing culinary scene.

“Build the Pho is a fantastic addition to Great Northern,” said Dan Crandall, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Great Northern Mall. “We’ve already seen many guests stopping in before or after catching the new Superman movie at Phoenix Theatres to enjoy lunch or dinner. The food is amazing — my personal favorites are the shrimp summer rolls, grilled chicken bun, and the mochi donuts.”
