Pho is a popular dish, present everywhere in Vietnam, from casual eateries to high-end restaurants. A bowl of standard pho must have pho cakes made from delicious rice, coated into a thin, soft, chewy layer of white cake, then sliced into strips, the broth is hot, rich in sweetness from the stewed bones, fragrant with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and eaten with fresh beef. Pho bowls become more eye-catching thanks to split onions and green onions.

Previously, there was only cooked beef pho with full "cooked-corn-encrusted-bucket" filled with broth. Nowadays, pho has many different processing methods with unique flavors.
Puffed Fried Pho
As the name suggests, puffed fried pho is bread that is cut into large squares, then fried in a pan of old hot fat. After frying, the pho cake will be drizzled with a wave sauce made from vegetables such as shiitake mushrooms, vegetables, onions, beef, and kidney heart. Each serving is served full, with a little pickle to eat to relieve boredom.

Pho rolls
This simple dish includes noodle soup, beef, and some herbs. The beef is thoroughly marinated, finely chopped, and stir-fried until cooked, so when you eat it, you will feel the sweetness and not too chewy. The pho cakes used to roll are thin, soft and do not tear. All ingredients after preliminary processing will be curled up like a salad roll, dipped in sweet and sour fish sauce which is extremely attractive.
