Hey Chad, As a Vietnamese I am amazed by how you describe all the dish. I think you are doing better than a lot of Vietnamese food reviewers. Excelent work!!
Hey Chad, first I'm just gonna say that I love your stuff. Really been making me appreciate Vietnamese culture more (I'm second generation but haven't been too immersed in it). Just wondering but could you do a canh chua video? My absolute favorite thing to eat whenever I go to my grandparent's place.
I went to the exact Pho Thin by Sol a few months ago and yes that beef broth was very unique indeed and such a cool place to enjoy a meal with family and friend. Pho Viet Nam is on my radar for my next visit to Saigon so thanks for sharing their noodle making process in this video Chad. Cam On for the great effort and can't wait for Part 2 of your Banh Mi series.
your videos are absolutely underrated, you deserve to be recognized more for that quality of your videos and your content! Keep it up my guy, looking forward to new ones.
I know pho might seem boring to some but it is one of the dishes I grew up with and is my favorite noodle dish. Glad to see it be popular outside of Asia.
I’d recommend Phở Thái Sơn, 178 Lê Lai Street, District 1. Phở Lệ used to be my favorite, until I found out about Thái Sơn! It has less sugary sweet taste than Lệ. Very full-bodied, rich, and well balanced in spices! I’m a Vietnamese living overseas, and I’d go to Thái Sơn every time I visit Saigon.
Great channel and content. Big respect seeing you do this from your restaurant days in Philly now to HCMC. I lived in HCMC also and Pho Thin was my favorite as pho tai lan is really a version not seen in the west. Keep the great content coming!
Just a fun fact, some of "quẩy" in Hà Nội is more chewy but the same time, crunchy. And personally i prefer this kind of "chewy" quẩy, you really should try it when you go to HN. Btw, great video as always!!
Hey, just a suggestion. I think that editing to add the VN subtitles directly in the video will give your videos more visibility towards Vietnamese audience, which is huge for your type of Vietnam-food-centric channel. You're potentially missing out on viewers/subscribers that don't turn on youtube subtitles but have massive interest in your channel topics.
Click on the CC option and you’ll see Vietnamese subtitles. The problem, in my opinion, is his channel needs to have a set “genre”. Whether it’s food reviewing, cooking, or both, it needs variety and frequency; reviewing and cooking of different food and more videos. I love his style of reviewing and I think food reviewers should possess such knowledge of culinary before they can become a reviewer. I, however, need to see more content.
I appreciate the advice, it’s hard when I know this content can be enjoyed by both Vietnamese and non Vietnamese speakers and how do we present it to 2 different audiences. We will always have viet subs available and just try to remind people that they are there either a click of a button
This channel will be focused on Vietnamese food reviews/education and traveling Vietnam information. I’m going to start another channel purely focused on cooking when my studio is finished. We were debating about doing more cooking on this channel but I just don’t think the views will be worth the effort. We are trying to increase the content frequency but we need more editing team to be consistent. I appreciate your thoughts
@@crystalwynn3910 Sorry if my comment wasn't clear enough. I meant that some people don't know to turn the CC on because they're not familiar enough with TH-cam subtitles function, which is the majority of older people using TH-cam. Some people will click on video, see no subtitles & click out. I love ChefChad videos so just wanna have a lil suggestion to improve his visibility.
I been enjoying Phở Lệ since the first time I visited in 2016. It was my favorite go to place but my last 2 trips there, the flavor was not consistent and believed the quality has gone down since they have been focusing more on quantity since the have been known as a tourist trap. I will try Phở Vietnam when I visit next month. Yes, bún bò Huế all the way. Great content.
As I mentioned I feel like it had less spices then I remembered when I tasted it this time, so I’ll have to go back soon and see if the consistency is an issue.
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoffThey definitely have a consistency issue, which happens to most restaurants with broth in VN. I have eaten here so many times. Most were good, but on some occasions, the broth was virtually flavorless. my family agreed. I always asked for extra beef fat (nước béo) to improve the flavor
Hi Chad Thanks you interviewed this pho! This is Amazing you know anything Better Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam. Thank you so much 👍🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
As I've gotten to better know Vietnamese cuisine I've moved away from pho because I've realized there is much more to their cuisine than just pho. That said thank you for this video Chad because it introduced me to some pho style dishes and new layers to pho. Hand made pho noodles sounds divine!
@@kha9867 I've tried both dishes, but I would love to try them in Vietnam. I don't think the versions here in Canada are comparable due to a lack of ingredients. My fave Viet dish is Bun Cha and second is Bun Thit Nuong.
@@skatingcanuck9837 Where I live (Boston) you can find any ingredients for these dishes at local Asian grocery stores. There's enough ingredients that you can make dishes such as Bun/Com Hen.
I've been following your journey since you are still hesitate about moving back to Vietnam. I am so glad to see the video quality improved dramatically since then. Keep up the good job Chad!
Your videos are awesome, keep up the great work. Do you happen to have a recipe for the northern style chilli sauce? I would love to make this at home.
Yoooo! I used to live near the 3rd location! Seeing the place getting your praise is really heartwarming and brings back some good memories of the pho there!
Hi Chad, I took a few American friends to try phở at Phở Việt Nam in district 1, a couple of weeks ago. The broth for the beef noodle soup that we had was bland, very disappointed. I guess the fresh noodles and the herbs were good. By the way, I have been eating pho for at least 34 years and we love pho here in CA.
Tôi từ nhỏ thường ăn phở với bánh mỳ, dầu cháo quẩy thì ăn với hủ tiếu của người hoa , bây giờ thì mới thấy mọi người ăn phở với dầu cháo quẩy, tôi nhiều lúc cũng kêu 1 tô phở không bánh và ăn với bánh mỳ 😂😂
Here's a challenge... Would pho taste better if the noodles were cooked with the broth water. So instead of boiled water, we used beef stock or even the pho broth. It's like the pho noodle version of risotto.
the Phở bò tái lăn is like Northern Style for sure, but not Hanoi, is more like Nam Dinh style, when you looking for Hanoi style the broth should be clear like what you get at Pho Viet Nam in the video
I really like your selection of Phở restaurants but I think you are missing out 1 of greatest in Sai Gon, Phở Phú Vương on Lê Văn Sỹ Street which in my opinion, the very essense of Southern Phở style. Just check it out.
just a thing I noticed in the Vietsub at 8:10 the bowl of pho should be "phở bò tái lăn" not "phở bò Thái Lan" :D "tái lăn" or "xào lăn" means the beef is quick stir fried on big flame. Nice video anw :D
The noodles in the first northern pho look too thin for me. The north generally uses flat ribbon noodles, but those looked a little skinny. Banh quay is a must have with pho
Phở tái lăn is my favorite style of northern phở. But as a southerner, I eat my phở with hoisin sauce but I don’t add it to the bowl, I just use it with chili sauce to dip my meat into. Sauce saté is used with hủ tiếu, not phở. Of your three locations, I’ve only eaten at Phở Viet Nam. It’s good but I don’t see the point of the sizzle pot because the weather is so damn hot already 😅
I never used to put sate in my pho, but after this day of eating I will reach for it more often for pho, it was delicious. I agree I usually never prefer the hot stone bowl, it’s just too hot 🥵
There is that! We imagine so much of it… crikey! How long can we imagine these type of achievement? There’s so few other things that seem less. We salute many of the compkexitems so known to us - and many others. Its great. We all live so long. Maybe. The dead are soooooh silent.
Subscribed since you had a couple of thousands of subscribers. Fast forward to today, I do prefer your videos than Max's (don't tell him that, I'm still a loyal subscriber of him).
Even more outrageous is the fact that you can get a solid bowl of Pho for less than 50k VND. The bowls that this guy went over are things of luxury for the average Vietnamese. Even rich dudes don't splurge on Pho.
There is another Pho Thin in D7, they say its originally Pho Thin Ha Noi. But the taste doesnt good as Pho Thin by SOL. Not sure if this is legit but Pho Thin by SOL is honestly better than that Pho Thin
As a Vietnamese i think your content and your loving about my country is amazing guy. Best vietnamese dishes review youtube chanal everr.
Such a compliment, thank you
Hey Chad, As a Vietnamese I am amazed by how you describe all the dish. I think you are doing better than a lot of Vietnamese food reviewers. Excelent work!!

sành ăn hơn người Việt, nhiều người Việt chưa ăn pho trộn bao giờ
Chad's intonation is super!
When I first met my wife, she took me to pho le on our second date. Pho is just on another level in vietnam
WOW!! The quality of your video is amazing!! The content, filming, and editing are all great!!
Thank you so much we are trying hard to improve them

Another awesome video Chad! My favorite phở is Phở Hòa on Pasteur street, but after seeing your video I wanna try out all those places too
I know pho Hoa, definitely check these spots out
Sai Gon: pho Hoa & pho Quynh ...pho Le is too Chinese for my taste
Ha Noi: pho Thin & pho Ly Quoc Su (original of course)
Thank you 😊for you love ours vietnamesefood ♡♡♡ Pho is the Best👌 don't forgets Bun' Rieu [ Bun' Real ]😋
Love pho, but bun bo hue is my number one favourite since i was a in my teens, now i am 60 and still not changing.
Just a fun fact, some of "quẩy" in Hà Nội is more chewy but the same time, crunchy. And personally i prefer this kind of "chewy" quẩy, you really should try it when you go to HN. Btw, great video as always!!
Phở and bún bò have their own uniqueness, phở is elegant and bún bò is hey come here let’s kick s
Follow you when your Tiktok & TH-cam looks like a low budget vlog to now, the edit, the talk.. all perfect!
Thank you so much
Pho Hung at 243 Nguyen Trai is also very special.
Thank you Chad. It is really good to hear opinions from a chef. Your opinions are very knowledgeable and objective.
Thank you

With Phở, i think u should try this food in the North, especially Ha Noi and Nam Dinh. That will be a viral video with great tier list

Having all the condiments from all over Việt Nam for Phở is fascinating !!! Cant wait to try the last location
Thank you, its definitely a great spot

Thank you so much
You are a chef and expert in complex types of Vietnamese pho. It's important that you have a happy family life in Vietnam!
Thank you so much
9:52 the orange kitty!
I like pho Le too. You guys made me hungry.
Hi recommend you to try Pho Phu Vuong at Le Van Sy street, Tan Binh district. It's absolutely worth trying. Thanks for share nice clip.
I’ll check it out
Pho Le is my favourite when I visit Saigon.
Love your vids. Gonna note down these spots for my VN Trip this summer. Cant wait to try the 2nd place tho, looked innovative and delicious to me
Thank you, definitely give it a try, it’s delicious
To answer your question, yeah puffy fried Pho is a thing you can't miss in the north it is everywhere
Oh ok cool, thank you
Hey Chad, sending so much love from the UAE 🇦🇪🔥
Your videos are awesome, keep up the great work. Do you happen to have a recipe for the northern style chilli sauce? I would love to make this at home.
Your channel is growing real fast. When I first watched your videos, you only had 2K subscribers!
Yoooo! I used to live near the 3rd location!
Seeing the place getting your praise is really heartwarming and brings back some good memories of the pho there!
It deserves it, awesome spot
this is the best food review show. Chad really did a great job at investigating and reviewing Vietnamese cuisine. Definitely a Chad!!!
Thank you so much

I ordered a bowl of Pho after watching your video lol. Btw, I'm really impressed by how amazing your content is.
Epic ✌️ luv luv luv - I went to - Pho Viet Nam - today D3 - the homemade noodles does set this one apart - It was so yum ✌️👋👍🙏
Com tam, pho and many others are a must for me. It’s always going to be Saigon and never what you say. Saigon. IYKYK 😂
Hey Chad! Love your videos!
I’m in Vietnam and am just spamming all your videos. Do you ever go eat with your fans?
I do tours for people but I haven’t done any kind of meet up yet. I’ll have to plan something out
Love to watch well-edited video like this one ❤
The last place is all I eat now. They have a few location but the one close to Tan Dinh market is a little more consistent
Hot damn, those are some killer pho's.
Salivating....PHO.
Pho chien phong has been so popular in Hanoi for a long time. I ate the first time about 18-20 years ago😂
cant wait to try these spots next month
All my favorites!
I'm a southerner, and I need my bean sprouts. I'll eat a northern bowl of pho to not starve, but I need my veggies.
Vedio hay cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ ❤❤❤❤
The filming and editing are great. Please Chad, could you tell what camera and editing software you are using, thanks.
For this Sony A73, premier pro although I prefer Final Cut Pro

Phở Bắc luôn có quẩy mà. Gần đây phở Bắc mới phổ biến ở SG nên bạn giờ mới thấy quẩy với phở ở SG thôi.

Try pho hung nguyen trai

There are “ Pho xào “ stir Pho 🍲 😋 😋

you should try phở sốt vang , one of the best type of phở, but super underrated
Unfortunately I haven’t tasted that yet
@@yeschefwithchadkubanoff Like Phở Cuốn and Phở Chiên Phồng, Phở Sốt Vang is a Northern dish. Phở Bò Kho is its cousin.
Any place in the San Francisco Bay Area that serve these dishes?
I’m sure there is, but I have no idea
Pho is so good 🤤🔥
Alot of ppl do pho when hungover. But me, I can't. When I'm hungover I gotta have something light, sweet,cold and fruity.
Sorry dude, now you have to try all the type of noodle available in Vietnam, probly need 2 or 3 parts.
Phở Dậu is the best in Saigon
Please add English sub next time if possible, thank you!
AMAZING VIDEOS
Thank you so much
Adding a spoonful of garlic to the pho bowl? What the pho! What the pho! What the pho!
…this the pho 🍲

Pho in vietnam would be so much better if the restaurant had AirCon
the caption saying "Phở Bò Thái Lan" instead of "Tái Lăn". I think someone made a mistake there
Thank you
nah just your own point of view dude, there are tons of places of best pho in HCMC,
You are correct, it is my opinion these are my current 3 favorite bowls
There is another Pho Thin in D7, they say its originally Pho Thin Ha Noi. But the taste doesnt good as Pho Thin by SOL. Not sure if this is legit but Pho Thin by SOL is honestly better than that Pho Thin
phở Hoà đường Pasteur ngon hơn phở Lệ . phở Hoà number 1
Never heard of a pho cuon. Interesting
It’s always very refreshing
