Clintionville Getting Pho !

6-1-Pho, offering Vietnamese-style street food, is opening July 1 in Clintonville.
The restaurant will take over roughly 1,800 square feet of space at 4368 N. High St., at the northeast corner of High Street and Henderson Road.
Lisa Bui, who owns 6-1-Pho with her husband Ian Capotosta, said the setup is much like Chipotle: customers can choose a rice bowl, soup or banh mi, a Vietnamese-style sub, and choose a protein, vegetables and other fresh ingredients.
6-1-Pho gets its name from the Columbus area code, 614.
