☀️About me:
Hey, I’m Van Vu from Vietnam! I’m gonna show you a BUN CHA good food besides PHO (Hope you like the puns :)) I love sharing Vietnamese unique food, hidden gems, and especially our culture. I strongly believe that the world will be a better place if we know each other’s culture. Learn more about me here: whatthephovn.c...

Since Vietnam has so many different delicious food , I’d take the $1 pho and spend the $159 on other dishes to get the variety of flavors.
Me too for sure
100% $1 pho any time, 3x a day
Love the way you spend money ^^
Rất tốt đồ ăn ở việt nam rat ngon và rất họp lí ❤
@@VANHAY-oh6ue You tube will supply the money for the good stuff.
The $160 bowl of Pho is my budget for food in Da Nang for an entire month :)
your video popped out randomly on my fyp and it feels so nostalgic now... I have to admit that I didn't check your channel for a while since I came back from Vietnam probably cuz of emptiness I felt after coming back home and I can't believe how 3 years ago I used to watch your videos dreaming about visiting Vietnam and all the places u showed and how I ended up living there for a year, living my best life and now everything seems to be so... sad. Thank u for sharing this amazing culture with us, I can't wait to come back there
Wow, I can't believe how cheap the cheap one is. Great find!
Sir, Please come to Rangamati, Bangladesh to explore snails, bamboo, lizard, frogs dishes. You will love Hill chicken and pigs too. We have banana whiskey also.
Cảm ơn bạn đã giới thiệu ẩm thực và văn hóa Việt Nam cho bạn bè quốc tế chúc kênh ngày càng phát triển
Love this, I live right near Tan My and haven't found this 20K joint yet, but I'm going to find it now! Thanks heaps Van oi!
Thank you so much!
You are the best at explaining Vietnamese food and culture to us all. Thank you Van and you are the best.
Thank you so much for your kind words ^^
We normally pay more because of the ambience. But this expensive Pho is fit for royalties and millionaires considering the ingredients. The truffles alone costs a lot. Very interesting vlog.
For me … support family business , eating around diversity of people and get to know the owner , and love to try varied of pho broth that pass on from their family’s recipes
5:16 I bet they're using wagyu beef, and they're throwing that gold leaf on there to jack up the price even more.
This channel was very impressive and informative. I never thought of taking vacation into Vietnam. I can honestly say that you open my eyes to a new world. I will definitely put Vietnam on my bucket list of places to visit.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope to see you in Vietnam soon!
Great video Van, here in Denver we have a restaurant called Pho Kim, always thought was a funny name, until I saw this video, keep the great content coming our way.
Love the video. I would spend $160 to treat the whole village to the 79 cent pho. ❤
Wow - I didn't realize the magnitude of $160 until you put it that way.
Visiting Vietnam in two weeks, and really enjoyed watching your videos to prepare!
Thank you so much ☺️

Cheers Van . I’m super hungry now but no pho for me here in England , just warm English beer and pork scrachings. Fab vid 🇻🇳🇬🇧🇻🇳♥️
Good Vietnamese place in Bournemouth if you're down that way and need a fix
Thank you for your time and posting. Interesting. Most will not try the expensive, but some will. We are all on different spending limits. A few, no limits. :) I will be in VN in October for a few months to see if I want to retire there. :)
I love your videos, and you are one of the reasons I went to Vietnam. I think the first Pho is the one that appeals to me as it is made with love, and an elegant simple authenticity. The second one seems to try too hard and as you said be more of a culturally mixed or "fusion" dish. In Australia, foie gras is banned I think. Nice view though. Your professionalism, attention to detail, energy, humour, and warmth make you the most watchable person on UA-cam, and I would really love to meet you one day, perhaps over coffee. cheers Simon ( Australia)
Simon, your kind words mean the world to me! It's interesting to hear about Australia's food regulations. Thank you so much ^^
Me and my wife are DEFINITELY thinking of moving to Ho Chi Minh for a few months. Your videos have been a massive help! (and somewhat depressing considering we are living in the wrong country 😭😂😂) . Vietnam looks simply amazing.
We do Thailand & Vietnam this November for a month, then eventually want to move there.
I have been to the Landmark Building. Impressive at best. Never knew they served Pho there. As an Expat living in Phu Huu , I enjoy Pho and most Vietnamese food. I like simple foods and healthy . You are right Pho’s sweetness should come from the meat and the herbs and spices. I love Vietnamese Food and Coffee. This is a wonderful Country and I love it here.
"Impressive at best"? That's a weird combination of words.. did you mean "average at best" as in not that good? Or impressive as in very good?
@@adsad6542
Are you the word police? Where I come from it means very impressive. If you don’t like it , fine.
@@rickdavis2710 I love you
Hấp dẫn quá. Ngon nha. Don’t need fancy pho. Keep it simple and delicious! Stay hungry my friend!
My first authentic bowl of Pho came from a really good Pho place in Ho Chi Minh named Phở Phú Vương. That Pho changed my life. It was simply the best bowl of beef pho I have ever had!
Wow, this is first time i hear you talked with accent of West by Vietnamese 😆😆 so cute and extremely countryside
Hi Van Vu… Another great explanation video about one of my all time favourite dishes “Pho Bo” in Vietnam.
Because I live in the north of Vietnam- fun fact where Pho originated from 😉😁 : Hanoi my go to Pho Bo eatery is near my home - easy walking distance 1 or 2 times a week 🙂
I really agree with you that adding sugar or flavour enhancements ie: MSG to any food prep is one of my pet hates..too. Great you referred 3 renowned Vietnamese food critics in this episode 👌
I consider myself to be in-touch with how many food groups go together as I’ve been a passionate home cook and follower of famous chefs and my personal culinary journey around the world for over 40 years! Until finally settling here in this wonderful country for some of the best foods on the planet Vietnam 🇻🇳😉🙂
Ive made countless stocks whether it be Ga- Chicken, Bo - Beef or Vegetables but using only real ingredients. My go to seasoning is muối & tiêu ( salt and pepper) at the table! I’m sure the vendor laughs under their breath knowing they have added MSG already in the huge cooker during preparation 😆
I have videoed many Vietnamese vendors preparing their special dish they sell! I have to confirm there are very few that don’t do it the proper way.. My Opinion Only 😊 But to add one or two bags of “AJI-NO-MOTO” MSG goes against my idea
on how broths should be constructed and put together! My Opinion only that is…
I think it all comes down to time.. and many vendors take shortcuts despite how many years they have been making it.
For me despite knowing MSG is
generally always added when vendor is preparing! I say “Không Mì Chính” = No MSG knowing it’s already in it..
My assumption for this is; an after taste of salty on the palate after I’ve eaten.
Ive also conditioned myself over time whats in the foods and packaged products here in vietnam is not as regulated say in my country where ingredients have to be listed or else!!
But the key takeaway to my theory over time is DONT BUY PROCESSED FOODS!! My ethos only.
Unfortunately many families are so time poor here in Vietnam and convenience is first choice mostly over nutrition- my words only
Keep your videos coming they are becoming so polished and interesting over time 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Stewart! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. It's fantastic to hear from someone with such a deep appreciation for Vietnamese cuisine! I'm glad that you're enjoying the videos! Your dedication to cooking and exploring food is inspiring and I totally get your concerns about MSG-it's essential to prioritize authenticity and quality. Your feedback motivates me to keep improving and delivering content that resonates with viewers like you. Stay tuned for more exciting videos ahead!
Congratulations for 200k subscribers ❤️ We want a about about wine and other unique alcoholic beverages of Vietnam and where can we buy this too.
Haha, such a cool video, I love the tra da and hope it gains global popularity
free iced tea for all 😝🍵
You communicate in sourthern accent but it seem like Bình Định,Phú Yen accent but so cute❤
For the third point “You want to eat the second bowl after eating the first bowl of Pho”. Does it mean you want to eat immediately after or it means you would come back and have some again in the future?
chaotic yet very organised - my definition of Vietnam )))
I personally would go for the cheaper pho since that’s the average there and more authentic vs 160 usd for the noodles only being Vietnamese.. plus you save money on other foods and adventures and shopping there!
@WhatThePho I just want to let you know few episodes of your youtube videos appeared on Varlamov latest video about the Vietnam. Varlamov is a Russian youtuber with 5 mln subscribers. His video about Vietnam already reached 1 mln views in 3 days, I hope some of his viewers will visit your channel.
Thank you so much for letting me know!✨
Came across your channel. You are very charming and give us valuable and instructive guidelines. Going to Nam next year ,perhaps forever 😀Greetings from Poland
Good topic idea for you.... Make a video of how Vietnam has change since the Vietnam war till now.
I love you Ms Pho❤. You're the cutest girl on the internet 😊
Looks yummy. I’m going for the one at the beginning of the video.
Hola Pho. ¿Cómo estás? He estado viendo tus videos y definitivamente quiero ir a Vietnam algún día. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Great video. I like the $0.79 pho for sure. It’s all about the vibe and sitting with strangers and chatting life stories. This is worth million Vietnamese Dong in itself. 👍😊❤️🇻🇳
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Totally agree with you on the vibe of the $0.79 Pho-it's all about the atmosphere and the conversations. Those moments chatting with strangers are truly invaluable.
I think I would enjoy the communal tables😊
Me too!
I downloaded the app to learn Vietnam,
I'll learn the best I could, after maybe two years I'm coming to Vietnam to find a wife, I think you should make a video about getting a wife in Vietnam..
And about how they feel about marrying foreign nationals especially Africans...

Interesting clip, specially the part of Cheapest Phở 👌 Recognized that you spoke Southern Vietnamese while asking that how long Chị Gái has been selling Phở (correct me if I'm wrong).🤔 If it's right, it's good to do it for your career (so you would easily blend on the local people for better content).👍 And as Vietnamese says:" Nhập Gia tuỳ tục" 😉
I don’t need to have truffles or gold leaf in my Pho… I’ll take a $1 Pho anytime… great video 👍🍲🍋🟩🥗👍❤
3:17 Since 2008 I’ve been living in Vietnam, I use to do the opposite. 😅 I know it’s impolite, but I always put some ice cubes inside the bowl. 😆
The truth is I’m intolerant to hot or/and spicy food, my tongue has « sensitive buds » (benign lingual papillitis) and all heat coming from hot food is multiplied by 100. 😭
So I only can eat warm or cold recipes. 😅
It’s a sad thing when we know Vietnamese food is more delicious when it’s eaten hot. 😢
But, « c’est la vie ». 😄
Try Bun Thit Nuong or Bun Nem Nuong or similar foods like a banh hoi. Its not spicy unless you add the hot chili's and its not too hot to eat as its mainly rice noodles, raw veggies and grilled pork or pork sausage and they are actually sweet tasting and delicious, not spicy at all.
@@RacerX888 Yes, I know. There’s a famous “nem nuong” here in Can Tho City, “Nem Nướng Thanh Vân” (check on Google 😉👍).
It’s one of my favorite dishes, with the “phở”. 🤗♥️🇻🇳
@@RacerX888 Yes, I know. There’s a very good restaurant in my town, Can Tho City (Nem Nuong Than Van). 😊👍♥️🇻🇳
In general, what you pay what you get. However, some decent dish is good enough for some, sister
Are there any trips planned for the fall?
I can't go this summer.
Coming from New York, I generally felt super wealthy in Vietnam. But $160 for pho would make me lose my appetite. btw, your expression consuming the gold was priceless! ❤😂
new york is rich city. $160 is not that high for ya
Excellent video. Love the dialog and videography
Thank you so much ^^
My plan is to visit this year. Possibly stay for a month or longer.
I think I'll just stick with your recommendation in your Vietnam travel guide and keep going to Pho Hoa Pasteur in Saigon and save myself the $160.
What made the expensive one's soup less clear is the amount of collagen from the chicken feet; but, it now has a more rich flavor much like tonkotsu. The gold leaf will not add any flavor; albeit, increase the Aesthetics and price only. In my opinion, black or brown mushroom would be much suitable for the more Asian approach and taste. Wagyu is over rated at this point since the beef should be thinly sliced.
I agree, there is no point of comparison between the first and second because the former is more traditional as to the fusion style of the latter.
7:42 Fois Gras is duck liver made by force feeding ducks a high fat diet. Originally, in France, the ducks were fed a lot of nuts and fatty foods, but now, it's mostly just a tube stuck down a duck throat and oil is forced into their stomach.
It's duck or goose liver. It is baned in 20 countries and New York and California...it is inhumane 😢
Such cruelty!! BS sorry to say
@@DavidWilliams-qr5yj The way it's done now is 100% inhumane, but this is what profits and greed does to literally everything.
You've picked up the southern accent quite well. 😂🥰
That truly looks fantastic an a great time
Miss you so much long time Vu❤🌹, thank you for video, im in 2014 year try in German restaurant in some hotel in HCMC schnitzel with potato salad , and two german beers i pay over 3.000.000 VND.( My eyes nearly fall out 😂) Some restaurants are really expensive in HCMC.🇸🇰🇻🇳 Greetings from Slovakia.
I'd be grateful to have Pho in Vietnam -- whether the cheapest or most expensive (depending on my finances) --- pho is so yummy :) I miss Vietnam ...such a wonderful country.
Hihi. Welcome “ Chị gái “ to Ha Giang next nhé
Great video, thank you! Keep them coming. ❤
Thank you ^^
@@WhatThePhoi love you
I should move there. I was born August 6th 1968… 8/6/68 😮
You are a charming lady, Ms What The Pho!
Yes she is :) ❤
Anyone, Gold leaf ? Are we talking the metal ? I have seen it on ice cream from some Japan video clips.
Khi mình chị nói nước dùng “ is very rich” thì mình nên hiểu “ rich” theo nghĩa gì chị?
Nghĩa là “đậm đà” bạn ạ.
Glad you’re growing your hair back. Anyway another top video, sorry I don’t mean to be rude but you’re beautiful.
I’m going to ho chi Minh at the end of August and staying at landmark 81. I will not be eating there but exploring the local venders
2:29 This is why I hate exchange rates. This exact same bowl of Pho would go for $18USD, and that is a low end bowl from a mom n pop joint.
Very interesting topic, keep it going!
Sis, we want to know where to buy quality wine and unique alcoholic beverages of Vietnam🇻🇳 Take love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Great video between the two and I’m sure that the $160 Pho has a place in this world. But I’m sure there are tastier phos around Saigon that are less than 1/3 of the price.
Anh chào em gái Vân nhen, đang cùng em gái đi ăn phở và tham quan Landmark 81 đây 😁 đúng là người đẹp được chăm sóc đặc biệt nhen, được chủ quán để ý thay nước lèo nóng luôn 😁❤️👍
Subscribed! From USA
honestly feel like you overpay with 160 when there is so much good pho stands around
I might try to book ur tour later if things work out😊
Thank you for your interest! If you decide to join, I'd be thrilled to have you on board! I'll definitely keep you posted ^^
Hey Van,just quick question.I will be in Vietnam for 2 days only.will I need to get Visa before coming?❤
No , khong cần thiết phải có visa miễn thị thực 15 ngày
The steak cover with gold . When u eat is tender.
79c pho… is that a smart business pricing though? Looking at property prices in Saigon, will be working forever and still not own a house
便宜的是最好的，因为便宜的食物，一定是当地上万年的菜肴，他们非常知道如何做这些食物，而且材料也是当地富有的，所以才那么便宜。
你说得对
@@WhatThePho 你居然懂中文的？
For the same price: eat a pho king expensive bowl for a day or a cheap street level but still taste good bowl of pho for 200 days straight.
Thanks for the video, Van!
You are the only reason i would to visit Vietnam. Bcuz after seen you i realize how Vietnam girls can be pretty. İ would to meet one them.
Is Pho $160 on the same level 66th of breakfast buffet room at Landmark 81? I just ate Landmark81 breakfast buffet pho which is really very delicious. It 's the most delicious I've ever had. As to pho $160, it is really too expensive.
What's on the menu for this morning?
How about some pho king?
Mmmm, OK. Sounds good. But what should we eat?
I wouldn't even eat / pay for the $160 Pho if I won the lottery. But thank you for visiting this place and let us know it exists.
One time, I ate Pho every meal, for a week straight, and wanted to keep going. So yes, you do want that second bowl of Pho, haha.
Simplicity is much more nicer.😊
Can you do a video in HCMC district 1 best pho and restaurant please. Thanks
Love you so much n your videos
I was at Landmark 81 last March. I went strictly for the observation deck. Everything else was absurdly overpriced. Sad there's an elitist element of HCMC that exists to cater to the rich and further propagate the economic disparity.
I just sub your ch. Your ch is super informative and nice to watch. You are so beautiful.. and I thoguht you are English teacher or something... So good in English as well. I learn both from you. English and Culture, foods in Vietnam! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Can you do a video trying the Anam Pho?
Super 👌 👍 i have already booked from Makemytrip from Combodia to Vietnam for 15 days,
I am from India Chennai tamilnadu, south india,
Travel date from 16th do 30th june 2024, if i will meet in next time , i will come with any other tour in Vietnam sure, in june 16th to 30 th june travelling thease dates is winter or it's good to Explore, kindly inform me , please, Thank-you ❤
Thank you!
Cool video on Pho 😊
Vietnamese food I will never get tired of eating
my worse nightmare is getting a finger in my soup 😂
I value authenticity over fancy :)
im gonna go to vietnam too
In San Francisco there is a Vietnamese restaurant that serves a bowl of pho for about S100. It has a big lobster and other delicious ingredients (wagyu beef, etc). I will try that the next time in SF.
The $160 pho in VN doesn’t compare to that, I think. I may go there for the view, though, but wouldn’t order pho there.
Yum ❤❤ Yum
Blessed day Van Vu

Hello
From Australia
Great video....many thanks!
I'm 68, male, of German background, still fit and energetic.😉
Will be going to VN by the end of May 2014 for a 6 weeks+ trip, perhaps visiting Laos and/or Cambodia as well?
Looking for a female travel companion.
Neither a 5 star nor a al-cheepo traveler..... $160 for a pot of soup would be a once/twice treat.....as long as it comes with a 3 kilo King Crab😊....love seafood.
Any ladies out there that might have similar ideas?
Cheers
Awesome video!!!
Thank You VAN, for identifying HO CHI MINH CITY and not Saigon
too much pho in hcmc, but i like most of it
I prefer the cheap Pho from the street stall. Pho is rich enough on its own, no need for truffle, foie gras or gold flake.
That fancy one looks like... phởsion!
Making me want some pho 🍜
