Pho Social Vietnamese Grill is taking over the former Happy Greek space in the Short North at 660 N. High St. An email from building landlord Capitol Equities indicates the Short North location is a relocation of Easton’s flagship restaurant.

The restaurant comes from owner Oahn Do, who opened the first Pho Social location at Easton in 2021 at 3391 Worth Ave. Before Pho Social, the restaurant space was home to Happy Greek for nearly 20 years before closing in February of 2025 after being unable to reach an agreement with the landlord.

According to commercial listings for the property, the ground-floor address at 660 N. High St. comes with a sizable patio, an equipped kitchen setup and space for both bar and dining service. Municipal filings also list Pho Social At Easton LLC in permitting documents and liquor license transfer communications tied to the Short North move.

Additional menu items outside of pho include banh mi sandwiches, vermicelli, spring rolls and grilled meat with rice. While “Coming Soon” signs appeared on the building’s front door, no official opening date has been announced. Separately, an unverified reader tip reported Pho Social opening Nov 7th.
