Thank you for this video! I grew up half-Vietnamese in the states and growing up, my dad would continuously add bits of more food to my bowl or plate during meals. Back then it annoyed me because I'd be so full and so closed to finishing my meal and he'd plop another piece of meat or vegetables for me to finish (It was our culture to finish everything on our plates). He passed away 6 years ago and part of my healing process has been learning how to cook the foods we grew up with and learning more about Vietnamese culture as I want to visit one day. Like how you mentioned, he rarely ever said I love you. From your video, I just found out that him adding food was a sign of affection in more ways than I had ever realized as a kid. I'm currently crying my eyes out lol
I can really relate to this, sorry to hear about your dad. I’m flying out to see my family this month and can’t wait to reconnect with my Vietnamese side again.
I am Chinese and we have exactly the same customs and table manners. It makes me feel very comfortable visiting Vietnam in the future :)
Vietnam is called “mini China” for a reason. This comes from a Vietnamese
@@risingstar9903 no, it's a part of Indo-Chine.
@@risingstar9903Says who, who are not Mini China 😂😂😂
One of my favorite memories while traveling through Vietnam -/ I was invited into several Vietnamese homes for home cook meals and I truly enjoyed and cherished these experiences and memories. However, I could never truly feel comfortable sitting on the floor while eating. In the states, I always bring a bottle of wine when I come to dinner at friends homes, but since Vietnamese people don’t drink wine, I brought several kilograms of fruits. Vietnamese people are kind and warm, but they can spoil ya like a child sitting at dinner table....after I conveyed a moment of gratitude for the invitation to dinner, my plate instantly got fill with foods lol. And, after dinner I offered to wash the dishes, but I was kicked out of the kitchen 🥴 because of these wonderful experiences, I have a home in Saigon. A piece of my heart is forever embedded in vietnam because Vietnamese people enlightened my soul with their kindness.
Did they spread paper on the floor to place the food on?
If you guys are wondering about this video accuracy. Since she speaks such a good english and she might not know what she was talking about, then I'm a vietnamese and I'm here to confirm that it's all true.
But you’re typing in english, how can we trust you too?
@@masterboiboi tôi có thể xác nhận rằng cả hai đều nói đúng ;)
Hi Vanvu, from Seattle Washington USA. If I'm a guest, do I have to wear a suit and tie? Or can I wear my shorts and seahawks t-shirt? Lol
@@djttv It depends on your visiting purpose. If you're visiting your girlfriend's family, you might want to be in a suit to impress her parents. If not, just wear something you're comfortable with, but don't wear things that are too revealing lol
Can you use phone while eating?
I am Vietnamese American and learned so much. Thank you! The Vietnamese etiquette reflects a culture that is very respectful, loving, and generous. The only question I have is: "Do people mind some double dipping... someone sharing food with you with their own chopsticks?" My parents always used the serving spoon to share food. Thank you. Great video.
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your support! There are a lot of dinning etiquette and of course, it will vary depending on where you're from. I've heard a lot of my friends from the South said that they don't have those table manners, so it's really up to the regions :)) Personally, I don't mind people sharing food with the own chopsticks since I was born and raised that way, but I felt a bit uncomfortable seeing people doing that when I first came back from the US, I was so used to the serving style in the US. So with that being said, I'm willing to adapt to anything.
@@WhatThePho Thank you for your reply.
Same
@@WhatThePhoDo people in Vietnam flip their chop sticks upside down to pick food from the shared dishes or does it go against Vietnamese dining etiquette? We do this in America when there are no serving spoons
Thank you Van Vu for your Vietnamology channel. Although Vietnamese people are very understanding of foreigners, showing an understanding of their customs and traditions is a sign of respect and fosters greater friendship.
Yes, you are right! Thank you for your comment :))
As a vietnamess growing up in Germany, I have learned so much. Thank you! Great editing and i really like your humour 👏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating ! Indeed, very similar to Chinese dining etiquette... Thanks for a great education !

Good way to show respect.
Oooooo hehe love the new intro and little razzle dazzle details, love seeing this channel evolve!
Thanks Gabe for always supporting me! I wish I had more time to edit 2 vid/week. Editing takes forever!!! 😪
@@WhatThePho editing takes sooo much longer than you think too. I heard a lot of people consider hiring their own personal editors so that they can just concentrate on developing and filming content. But overall take some breaks if you need them! Don't burn out.
Going to visit my grandparents thank you for the help😊
Have fun!
nice video teaching viewers about Vietnamese table etiquette
Glad you liked it
Thank you so much for this. Im soon gonna move to ho chi minh city
Funny and informative, well done.

I have to say that your voice is so great
Hiuhiu, e mê chị quá mất thôi, chúc chị luôn vui vẻ, hạnh phúc và ra nhiều videos

Van Vu's thoughts helped me speak in English. Tks!
So cool! I forgot about the “mời” part
What a wonderful video! Where was this video before I visited Vietnam 10 years ago? Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it! And you can visit Vietnam again :))
Khuôn mặt sáng thông minh, và rất tự tin. Tự hào con gái Vn
Thanks for making this video because I’m often make a mistake like knock on the dishes or plate, and got scolded (when I was young, and currently just sometime). After I’m watching this I’ll definitely fix my mistakes.
Haha, we all done it lol
Tks c, channel rất hữu ích giúp e luyện nghe và hiểu tiếng anh được tốt. hơn

Hi Van Vu..., Excellent video and very informative, and I ( learned a lot ) about Vietnamese table manners, traditions, and culture and a word or two... Thank you for sharing the video and excellent information on Vietnamese table manners, customs, and culture, too... Bright, intelligent, and attractive... Mike in Montana P.S.: I miss Vetnam... :)
Lovely family . You are Cute bright and u v got humour 😍😍😍
OMG I only have few of this, it's good to have all 10 ...
Vân you beautiful soul 😍
I'm a British / Iranian and we actually have ALOT of similarities with our dining etiquettes too. 😍❤️
How?
Great video. How about a video on the etiquette of Vietnamese massage shops. What to look out for and the long history of massage services in the country.
Very usefull
Thanks a lot
Lovely
Video very good
I've just begun watching your videos and your shows are very fun, interesting, educational, + your English is Amazing! 📖☺️🧡🌷🧡
Thank you! 😃
@@WhatThePho
I am Korean Filipino 😊🌷 so that makes us distant cousins! 🌷 By the way my niece is a Utuber. U can see her videos at "Sweet and Tasty" Her videos are similar to yours! 😊🌷 She has a million subscribers & I am sure you will reach that number very Soon! 😊🌷
Thank you Miss Vanessa for introducing me to Vietnam, such a Lovely country with Beautuful & Inspiring people like yourself! 🌈😊🌷⭐💐💛🦋
Thanks for bridging Vietnam to the world .👍👍
My pleasure! Thanks for your support 🤗
So True!
Hậu trường lúc nào cũng là vui nhất😅
I wish you publish videos more frequently. I love to watch them. From CauGiay
Hi Thuy Ha Van, thank you for supporting me! And yes, I'm trying to have more videos during Tet. Editing takes forever so sorry for the delay.
Very informative. Thank you.
I also need to know the table manners in a Vietnamese restaurant. There's condiments and hot sauce, sometimes things are brought with the meals that can be confusing at first. Plus, how to order in Viet would be a plus too.
Oh yes, those videos are coming soon :))
i am in Ho chi minh right now and it‘s kinda funny to say „come on“ for thank you all the time and getting a smile back 😅
Great video....thank you, Van. I was invited to dinner by a Vietnamese family in the past. They added more food to my plate by using the other end of their chopsticks...very sanitary. I love the way Vietnamese people show respect and good manners to their elders...something that I see less and less in the western world.
i really like your channel, because it s good and i can improve my english.
Thank you! 😃
Video rất hay.
Everything was taught by my parents when I was little
So informative! ... confusion say: Everyone eats to survive, only some survive to eat and will actually starve without “In-N-Out”, all the while anyone without sustenance cannot live. Am I Rice? ... Happy 2021!!!
Some manners are same in our country-Bangladesh.
Thank you very much for sheering about culture and manner of your country.
You are doubly adorable with glasses!
Thank you Van for these etiquettes! To be honest, I've never paid attention when scooping rice into a bowl, but from now on I'll surely avoid single scoops. Nevertheless, regarding sharing acts, I would highly recommend grabbing the food with large ends of one's own chopsticks or using spare ones. If such manners are not so comfortable, the food should only be shared before everyone starts eating.
Thank you! These rules are heavily applied in the north cause it's more stricter there so just be easy on yourself :))
Amazing good job !
Thanks a lot!
I van you. You nói tiếng Việt cho dễ hiểu
Love your channel and the way you talk very cute 👍
You are so kind
the part where you invite people to the table to eat is so true, i have many cousins, aunts, and uncles and it take so long to say all of them
Eventhough I'm vietnamese but there are still some etiquette that are new for me cause of the different between regions surround country.thanks so much for your effort in making this video these days, it's help me so much in understanding more about our culture here and there.Btw. do you have any fixed schedule in publishing your video? I'm looking forward to watching your new one everyday ^ ^
Oh please share some more table manners from your region? I'd love to hear! And I try to post every Sunday but with my work schedule, I'm trying to find time to edit (editing takes forever lol) But yes, I'll try to post for videos (maybe 2vids/week) next month since it's Tet month and I wanted to show off our traditions to people. Thank you for your support!
Can you please do a video on traditional performances/music in VN? Would love to learn more about them and any interviews with performers would be great, too!
Like hat cheo, cai luong etc
I love Pho =))
Thích ghia
You always give me a laugh when you switch from English to your northern Vietnamese accent :)
It's called BYElingual :))
Your actors are very funny haha
It is so interesting to know the no-nos are almost same as we have here in Guangdong, China.
Didn't you hear her mentioned Confucian ethics ? Anyway, Vietnam and Guangdong were part of Nanyue empire in 200 BC.
i have a vietnamese friend and her parents invite me to eat but i dont want to be disrespectful to them so i came here thankyou for making this video❤️
Glad it was helpful for you! :)
Your accent is so nice and your beauty face is like Baifern- the main actress in the film named Bai Mai Tee Plid Plew.
Love
3:57 I often eat like this with my family.
