Pho is a delicious Vietnamese soup, and the signature dish at these restaurants. In fact, for most Pho restaurants, ordering anything else is a little odd.

Pho is basically a rich beef broth with rice noodles and your choice of various kinds of meat. Add sugar, lime, spice, and other things to taste, and you have one of the most perfect foods on the planet.

Mmm... Pho.

It is a traditional viet noodle soup. Pho isn’t just a national dish but a national treasure, a symbol of Vietnam with a rich heritage that is now served all around the world

As mentioned by others its the signature Vietnamese soup.... delicious & very versatile. It features a chicken based broth that is accented with Star Anise.. In addition to rice noodles, you will find asian cabbage & other vegetables... and your choice of meats (which are added to the broth at the last minute)... including:

> Pork Meatballs
> Very thin cut brisket
> Tripe
> Beef Tendon
> Various thin cut beef steaks

... the most beloved version of Pho contains all of the mentioned meats (and often more choices)...


Finally... and most importantantly... Pho is really pronounced as "Fuh".... a popular Vietnamese restaurant in Portland is called "What The Pho".... I am sure you guys can sound it out phonetically.

"Pho" means noodles, usually means the restaurant or shop is selling mainly or only noodles.

pho is a traditonal food in Vietnam it's called pho cuz it's one of the main dishes.It's good and if u put the right amount of spices it will taste delicious
