We invite you to experience the traditional tastes and joys of Vietnamese cuisine, including Pho, Vietnam's most renowned culinary creation. Pho is nutritious, wholly satisfying dish that families and friends have been enjoying together for over 100 years. Pho's origins can be traced back to Hanoi in the early 1880s, and its ingredients combine French and Chinese influences. The popularity of Pho and the passionate enthusiasm for the meal spread quickly throughout the entire country, and by the 1950s Pho was the favorite food of both North and South Vietnamese.

How to eat Pho

Now you have a steaming and breathtaking bowl of Pho in front of you-Let's dig in! The soup begins as a subtle and delicious broth.

Now you are ready to experience the thrill of Pho using chopsticks.

With your right hand, handle chopsticks to pick up noodles and mixings. Sip broth with a spoon with your left.
