Bone broth with star anise and charred ginger, ladled over rice noodles in Oklahoma City's Asian District, a Vietnamese community landmark since 1975.

Vietnamese pho arrived in OKC in 1975 when the first wave of refugees resettled after the fall of Saigon; by 1980 the state's Vietnamese population exceeded 6,000. NW 23rd Street developed into the Asian District, now home to over 30 restaurants. The pho follows southern Vietnamese style with a sweeter broth and garnishes of bean sprouts, basil, lime, and hoisin. The tight-knit community has preserved techniques that drifted elsewhere: overnight bone simmering with charred onion and ginger, toasted spices, and the precise fish sauce and rock sugar balance of a great bowl.
