☀️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.com/about/

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
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
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.
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
That price was pho king insane
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!
Very interesting topic, keep it going!
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...

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.
Wow, this is first time i hear you talked with accent of West by Vietnamese 😆😆 so cute and extremely countryside
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. :)
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
Hấp dẫn quá. Ngon nha. Don’t need fancy pho. Keep it simple and delicious! Stay hungry my friend!
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
Great video, thank you! Keep them coming. ❤
Thank you ^^
Thanks for the video, Van!
Cảm ơn bạn đã giới thiệu ẩm thực và văn hóa Việt Nam cho bạn bè quốc tế chúc kênh ngày càng phát triển
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). 😊👍♥️🇻🇳
That truly looks fantastic an a great time
@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!✨
Excellent video. Love the dialog and videography
Thank you so much ^^
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
Looks yummy. I’m going for the one at the beginning of the video.
Awesome video!!!
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 ^^
Cool video on Pho 😊
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!
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.
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.
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" 😉
Haha, such a cool video, I love the tra da and hope it gains global popularity

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 TH-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 ^^
Hihi. Welcome “ Chị gái “ to Ha Giang next nhé
I think I would enjoy the communal tables😊
Me too!
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 ^^
honestly feel like you overpay with 160 when there is so much good pho stands around
Finally someone who pronounces it better than most people😂
I love you Ms Pho❤. You're the cutest girl on the internet 😊
Are there any trips planned for the fall?
I can't go this summer.
Visiting Vietnam in two weeks, and really enjoyed watching your videos to prepare!
Thank you so much ☺️
chuc mung
Love you so much n your videos
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!
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!
Good topic idea for you.... Make a video of how Vietnam has change since the Vietnam war till now.
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 😁❤️👍
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.
Hey Van,just quick question.I will be in Vietnam for 2 days only.will I need to get Visa before coming?❤
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
I don’t need to have truffles or gold leaf in my Pho… I’ll take a $1 Pho anytime… great video 👍🍲🍋🟩🥗👍❤
Can you do a video trying the Anam Pho?
In general, what you pay what you get. However, some decent dish is good enough for some, sister
You are a charming lady, Ms What The Pho!
Yes she is :) ❤
Yum ❤❤ Yum
Blessed day Van Vu
🙋♂️🫶❤️❤️🫶🙋♂️
Anyone, Gold leaf ? Are we talking the metal ? I have seen it on ice cream from some Japan video clips.
Love the Van Life... :)
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.
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.
Making me want some pho 🍜
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.
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.
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.
The steak cover with gold . When u eat is tender.
Làm video ngắn đi em yêu. 😍😍😍
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.
The Pho Queen Lime Bae
hay qua ❤
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.
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.
Khi mình chị nói nước dùng “ is very rich” thì mình nên hiểu “ rich” theo nghĩa gì chị?
Nghĩa là “đậm đà” bạn ạ.
Simplicity is much more nicer.😊
Glad you’re growing your hair back. Anyway another top video, sorry I don’t mean to be rude but you’re beautiful.
I should move there. I was born August 6th 1968… 8/6/68 😮
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.
I want to know how i can get at-shirt like that --- what the PHO i like that
WOW 🤩! I ❤ 🍜 sooooooooo... MUCH😋
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
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.
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 ❤
I value authenticity over fancy :)
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
$160 pho in Vietnam? Lord have mercy
I’d rather have a pho experience on the street, full of toppings, best value. For the second location, I would like to have a Vietnamese coffee dripping all day long, enjoying the view😂
😂 omg I was not ready for you to drop f bomb. Guess I should turn volume down at work 😅
Great vid. Both Pho look amazing
😂 thank you so much
Em đi ăn phở quyền ở phạm ngũ lão ngon đó em ăn thử di
my worse nightmare is getting a finger in my soup 😂
too much pho in hcmc, but i like most of it
Thank You VAN, for identifying HO CHI MINH CITY and not Saigon
Vietnamese food I will never get tired of eating
The 1 dollar pho looks good 👍. Asian folks don't pay extra for the fancy atmosphere.
Gold in the Pho 😆
Wahhh I would get 160 servings of the 1$ pho anytime of the day
