Lunch at Pho Vallejo Noodle House 



What she said


Phở or pho[2] (UK: /fɜː/, US: /fʌ/, Canada: /fɑː/;[3] Vietnamese: [fəː˧˩˧] (About this soundlisten)) 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.
