Phở Bò · Hanoi

Pho bo is beef noodle soup, rice noodles and beef in a bone broth. In Hanoi bowls come with rare flank, brisket or round at Pho Gia Truyen, or heel muscle at Pho Bo Lam.

Pho first appears in written records in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam, and its modern form emerged between 1900 and 1907 in Nam Dinh province. Hanoi's first fixed pho stands included Cat Tuong on Cau Go Street, and around 1925 a Van Cu villager opened the first Nam Dinh style stand in the city. In 1979 Nguyen Trong Thin began selling pho tai lan at 13 Lo Duc, with the beef stir-fried in hot fat with garlic, onion and chilli.
