Need some pho in your day? We had some of the freshest at Pho Vallejo Noodle House — the broth was full of that slow-cooked yum. Beautifully plated too. #vietnamesefood #foodgasm #foodies pic.twitter.com/MV5MeES5hN

Phở or pho^[2] (UK: /fɜː/, US: /fʌ/, Canada: /fɑː/;^[3] Vietnamese: [fəː˧˩˧] (listen)) is a Vietnamese soup dish consisting of broth, rice noodles (bánh phở), herbs, and meat (usually beef) (phở bò), sometimes chicken (phở gà).^[4]^[5] Pho is a popular food in Vietnam^[6] where it is served in households, street stalls and restaurants countrywide. Pho is considered Vietnam's national dish.^[7]

Pho originated in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam, and was popularized throughout the world by refugees after the Vietnam War. Because pho's origins are poorly documented,^[8]^[9] there is disagreement over the cultural influences that led to its development in Vietnam, as well as the etymology of the name.^[10] The Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs.
