I watched this video for a minute then asked my wife if she wanted to go out and eat Pho. It was 8:30 PM in Las Vegas. She said yes so we went to a Pho restaurant we'd never been to before and had outstanding Pho. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@oliverz6581]

im happy for you two

[@suswimmer12]

I'm really happy that we in America have people like you to make us so great. Pho like this was a mainstay through college for me and made realize how important other cultures make USA stronger. Thank you for giving a little bit of your time time to educate us about one of the best kept secrets in Vietnamese Cuisine. More importantly, best wishes and good dining to you all!

[@bts23457]

This is such a charming father/son duo. The dad is so adorable!

One of the best comments ever

[@water8602]

Oh crap I didn’t see your comment. Trust me I didn’t steal this joke I just thought about it.

[@johnn1893]

LMFAO!!

[@dylanhuynh9152]

but i can actually understand this guy

[@ropersix]

A chef in Hanoi told me about putting lime juice (that you squeeze) and vinegar in pho, too (or at least, in beef pho). Maybe it's a northern thing, but it's good. Also, in Vietnam it's usually eaten for breakfast when the noodles are freshest. And there's nothing better than pho for breakfast!

[@GuamanianBlood619]

Ive watched this many times I love the relationship between the father and son, i hope all is well at their family buisness 🙏🏽

[@iwanttosurvive3992]

I was definitely raised to eat Pho in this manner. I agree with his process!

[@chodubs]

Lime for sweetness?

[@MrOarson]

We have a local VN restaurant here that has a clever way to teach people how to pronounce it. Its name is Pho King.

[@quygiaanhle4554]

It's more likely to be Vietnamese Southern Pho. A traditional Pho in the North side is little bit different. Even though, they are still pretty good in different style. Hope everyone visit Vietnam to enjoy!

[@eatgirlg9040]

Lol

[@RollYourRock]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@fallenscsl]

i tend to put some noodles and broth into the spoon cos it's hot and i find it quicker way to finish while it's still hot. it's also more elegant not having to wipe ur face after every tasting, and no slurping sounds

[@FarnhamTheDrunk1]

the slurping and wiping is 50% of the fun of eating in general...

[@Psi01]

I always put 2 parts hoison, 1 part siracha, a few bean sprouts, and little lime juice in the broth. I like it that way, and I'm not going to stop. The beauty of Southern pho is that you can customize your bowl to your own preferences. I'm Vietnamese and this way is similar to how my Dad eats it, but just eat it in way that lets you enjoy it the most. Oh and you can ask for a fork. Most pho restuarants will have forks even if they're not initially placed at your table. If you've never tried pho, and you go by yourself, you can certainly follow this video as a guide, but feel free to make your own variations. Oh and you can also order a small bowl, and just use that to experiment. If you like what you made, apply it to the rest of your bowl.

[@XimenaZhaoArchive]

That’s how they eat it in New Orleans, but in San José, California you might get dirty looks for putting hoisin and sriracha in the broth.

[@frepi]

The old guy is so sympathetic.

[@TrevsTravelTales]

You forgot the Chili and chilli oil, both good to add to soup, don;t stir the oil, leave on side and have one end take small amounts of flavour only. Becomes 2 Soups. Thanks Guys, looks great.

Most people love pho. I love it and have it regularly and love its flavorful taste. Thanks for the Vietnamese for bringing it to the U.S. and sharing its delicious pho with us. Watching this make me drool for a pho right this moment.

[@anthonyc5447]

Damn I want some pho now

[@franklindmurphy]

I friggin love Pho

[@CanadaSocial]

The last point about feeling thirsty after the pho because of MSG or excessive salts is totally true.

[@dananajj]

Unfortunately there are a lot of restaurants that DO put MSG in, which is a shame because I won't drink the soup if that's the case!

[@khoinguyen0331]

That is true; unlike how it is heavily looked down upon in the US, MSG is actually a popular flavor ingredient in a lot of Vietnamese dishes and can be seen everywhere. Yes, there are massive health risks with MSG and as more people become aware of it, more will try to avoid it. For now, though, MSG is pretty fundamental in Vietnamese dishes (especially in Vietnam due to its inexpensiveness.)

[@XimenaZhaoArchive]

The dad is such a Viet dad. They are a cute pair. 🇻🇳🍜 Looks yummy! 😋

[@mrvk39]

Are noodles the instant variety or home made? How can you tell the difference? I think that instant noodles are probably even worse health-wise than MSG....

how important is cilantro. its the one ingredient in pho i just cant really do. same with banh minh, love the sandwich but just cant do much cilantro

[@JohnDoe-rm5jh]

Not that important. Thai basil is the only herb that will change the profile of your pho from good to better. Even then, add-in's are only a matter of preferances.

If you look up MSG, you’ll know MSG is safer than salt, it’s just something like soup powder. And what causes ppl to think it’s bad is another story.

What is right way and what is wrong? Try all and enjoy by yours. Don’t follow what they’re telling you. I am Vietnamese and I love Pho. This is the Southern Pho, it will not have the original taste, so is it right or wrong? Try the others then review plz

Always on the side never pour it into ur pho otherwise it will over power the broth and everything will taste like Siracha
