NYC’s Home for All Things Pho || Eat Seeker: Di An Di

[@godlymajins]

They took it to a new level! I used to be in a purist bubble. I opened my mind and now am in a better place.

[@phinyo2066]

I really enjoy the format of this episode compared to earlier ones.

What is so special about black pepper in Pho? It’s been done since the beginning. Vietnamese pretty much add black pepper to most soup noodle dishes we eat. We also add an egg yolk but never break them in the broth, you slurp it whole with some of the broth.

Definitely checking out this weekend!

[@BenBSeattle]

Love this. Glad to know chefs like these are at the bleeding edge of Vietnamese food!

[@brandowag3]

No offense meant, but pho is one of the best meals on the planet, its not that hard of a sell.

[@QuyenNguyen-en9xs]

Does anyone know if the existing restaurant Đi An Đi in Brooklyn is still owned by Dennis and Tuan?

[@iKaBanana]

Looks quite the bomb! Fyi, "Di An Di" means Let's Go Eat.

[@heylongcom]

It’s more like “go eat already”

[@lilpinche918]

Mother of god..

[@cindychaan]

Never had black pepper in your pho. Strange.

[@nahaidiew2991]

Thats the reason McDonald is struggling in Vietnam, period

[@ThanhBui-zj8wg]

Remember "clarity" is an important aspect of Phở, so when you do "Tái Lăn" and add an egg on top, you will destroy the clarity of the soup broth. Your "Bánh xèo miền Trung" is lacking flour, bánh xèo miền Trung is not like bánh xèo miền Nam, it should have a thick but crispy crust, no coconut milk and have an egg mix in to the flour.

Appreciate your insight, helpful. That said, I don’t believe Tuan and Dennis are attempting to be 100% authentic. Most of their dishes seem to be adapted, but at some level pays homage to its origin. The irony is, the “Pho Thin Ha Noi” was an innovation in Vietnam, so the question of authenticity really becomes irrelevant. It really boils down to, does it taste good? Being a first generation Vietnamese American raised in Houston, I’ve grown to appreciate innovation/adaptation of the Vietnamese cuisine.

privileged kids making a mockery of viet food for the sake of instagram and hipsters.

[@thai2go]

? They are doing authentic Vietnamese food... the f@@k is your problem?

[@p33t3rpark3r]

@@thai2go pho doesnt have a fuckin poach egg

[@discoverVNmusic]

@@p33t3rpark3r , They do back in Nam, but it on the sides in a smart bowl of soup.

[@Kpop968]

"D N D", I would expect someone who named their restaurant a Vietnamese name would be able to pronounce it correctly. I can't speak Viet well but it definitely isn't "D N D".

[@d3w3yd3c1m4l]

I don't like that they're pronouncing pho like white people.

[@Tec-fv2xb]

That is not pho

[@Kevin-zi9ku]

Aw, you butt hurt they didn't build it the traditional way everybody's use to. God forbid someone adds their unique & un-traditional twists to pho, lmao. How dare they be creative & modernize food /sarcasm

[@KL-fl4th]

thats the traditional pho that they serve in the north vietnam

[@LinhNguyen-tb9lc]

@@Kevin-zi9ku actually if he/she knows a thing or two bout Pho, Pho has its origin in Hanoi...

[@blue3374]

It’s not a food video if you don’t have at least one person complaining that it’s not the real thing

[@WingChunBoyz]

Tec 2000 you are right. That’s not southern style pho.
