Please 'LIKE' and 'SUBSCRIBE' it really helps our channel grow 🙏 This has to be the most delicious bowl of Pho we have eaten yet. Vietnamese food is so so good 🇻🇳
@@EllisWRif you are craving for burger in Danang. Try burger bros, delicious burger. I was eating there pretty much once a week while I was stationed there.
I don't know that it's southern, though. The herbs are southern style, for sure. But the pho itself...it came with garlic in vinegar, which is definitely a northern thing. Dipping the meat into sauce is likely more northern style than southern as northerners don't like to alter the pho broth with sauces and such, whereas southerners will put all the sauces into the pho bowl, stir it up, and slurp it on down.
There's a miscommunication somewhere with special and normal, you said Dac Biet but she didn't hear you, so she said "binh thuong" .....special is 55, normal is 45 ..maybe she didn't want to ripe you off so she assume normal ........special probably has more meat . That bone marrow bowl we have to buy them to eat with rice back in the 80s. That usually sell at the end of the day when they're done selling, nowadays they cook extra so customers can buy them throughout the day. You guys really know Vietnam as you stayed away from the downtown areas, same dish,. same portion, and same quality, but downtown you have to help them pay the expensive rents, so the food in downtown is always double sometime triple the price.
Thanks for explaining really appreciate it we only know little Vietnamese! Yeah we love the local areas and meeting kind people like these ladies. The food in Vietnam is just incredible.
9:07 : The restaurant owner said " moi " ( " I invite you " ) , she meant the beef muscles on bones are free , a bonus . Depending on restaurants meat balls can be added to the " pho " noodles soup .
Dear Ellis, your Vietnamese is surprisingly good haha. Although please don't squeeze the lime into the dipping sauce. The dipping sauce should only have the black soya sauce, the red chilli sauce, the chilli paste. Then into the bowl, the garlic vinegar and squeeze some lime. If the broth is too diluted for you, then you can mix the dipping sauce directly into the broth. Enjoy! I really love how friendly and open-minded both of you are.
Hi Ellis, I think its okay to squeeze the lime into your dipping sauce, I do it all the time when I want my sauce to be more flavorful, some people may don't like it but some do lol
@@tabbieandtheredtown2925 Yeah, he can squeeze it into his dipping sauce if he wants to, but it's traditionally squeezed into the bowl itself, which we didn't see him do (unless he just edited that part out). The garlic should also go into the broth bowl, but I think he put it into his sauce because they told him to...maybe that's how they do it there?
You asked for Đặc Biệt (Special). But then she asked you Bình Thường (Regular), and you said OK. This means you got a Regular one (not Special). Be careful to say OK, make sure to repeat what you really mean. The young lady said squeeze the lime into Pho (not the sauce). Just watch others how they eat, imitate and enjoy.
Thanks for explaining we appreciate it. We only speak tiny Vietnamese we try to learn speaking to locals! Don't worry we also squeezed lime into Pho! Where is your favourite Pho shop?
@@EllisWR Pho is not the only dish to try out. Vietnam is kingdom of noodle. Whenever you see noodle, give it a try. (Chinese origin) Hu Tieu is like Pho, but the broth is made from pork instead of beef (dried and soup options). Cao Lau, and Bu Bo Hue from the middle region. The owner showed you and recommended here Bo Kho (like French Stew origin). Try them all. Bun Rieu (noodle with crap-broth)
Next time you eat Pho, you need to put in the lime, the hot chili, the soya sauce (black) and the veggies in… all mixed with the bowl of Pho… the best…bon appetit!
Talks too much, keep.repeat yourself. Just eat the Pho and tell us how is taste , go the point. Leave the Pho too long, the noodle will expand more and more. Please do your homework. Thank you.
wow im Vietnamese and that look like really good bowl of Phở and side dish .. maybe you should ask for an iced tea next time , not hot tea in this kind of hot weather 🤣🤣
You're knowledgeable with food brother, your Vietnamese is pretty good, too.. i'm happy you are capable of conversing with people. In time, you'll be understand more and talk more
@@EllisWR Ahh yes...they are the best in hospitality after got in a long struggle against many bloody aliens invasions in their homeland. So love is what they missed the most. Viva Vietnam with sincere deep respect🙏
If you guys want to travel to Thailand in the near future, try contact with Gary Butler, he is an English man living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, he knows a lot of good foods there,
There's no such thing as " The best". It's all depending on yours and each individual reference. I have eaten Phở around the world and the climate and weather have a lot to do with when you eat it. Also, Phở in the North differs from the South, and I love Phở but can't stand the Northern Phở, but again, it's my personal taste bud. You might like it and think it's the best, but it might not be fore many others. I am also a chef of over 45 years and have tasted at least 100,000 bowls of phở in my lifetime, and yet I have not found the best yet.
Yes my friend I understand completely and agree with you! The title is just for youtube don't worry. There is a lifetime of eating pho and different vietnamese dishes out here 🇻🇳
@@EllisWR 50 or 70 nguyễn hữu cầu. Its not updated on google map yet but it is recenly opened and pretty good, southern style Its pretty big u cant miss it While ur there u should try their beef juice soup or tiết bò, its cooked dont worry :)
Lol I love your interaction with the local lady. It is zo hilarious to watch. She tried to ask you a few times if you wanted Special Pho (Đặc biệt) or Normal Pho. As you kept saying Yes yes yes to her questions. So in the end She made you the Normal one. Love how you make the sound "yum yum" for every bite. Very natural reaction with no editing. ❤
Good job with your Vietnamese! The owner seems very sweet and friendly. 2:41 she was asking you if you wanted a normal amount of noodles or extra noodles. "cái này bình thường không?" -"this thing (noodles) normal right?" "cái này nhiều không?" "this thing (noodles) lots of it?" If you ever want to say you don't understand something you can say "mình không hiểu" Good job going in to film the process of making the bowl! 3:59 that broth looks so dank! 7:35 bò khô is delicious definitely give it a shot! 16:40 lol 20:50 yeah the traffic in tân phú gets pretty bad especially around rush hour 24:00 daaamn you like durian? kudos man I'm still not fond of the smell Great video guys and great thumbnail!
Really appreciate you explaining mate we have no idea what's going on half the time aha just smile. We got a bo Kho video coming soon it was so good at this spot. Were like addicted to Durian now it's the greatest
Oooo such a hard question, they are both my top tier countries and both good at different things. Both have amazing locals and some of worlds best food.
I'm not sure that's necessarily southern pho. I think there are elements of southern-style in it with the pile of herbs. However, whenever I see pickled garlic and/or peppers, I think northern right away. Also northern style may be served with quay (fried bread stick) or the raw egg with hot pho broth poured over it. The way they showed you to make a dipping sauce for your meat vs having you toss it in the bowl also tells me it leans northern style as southerners will oft times just dump all the sauces/condiments in their bowls, stir, and eat. Northerners don't like their broth drastically altered as the broth is the soul of pho. BTW, when Viets make pho at home, we LOVE the large bones with bits of meat and fat on them to gnaw on. It's the best part of eating pho to me. 😁
@@EllisWR I mean, I could be wrong and maybe it is southern style but they toss in northern elements...who knows anymore? As long as they pick and choose from different regions to make the BEST pho, I'm cool with it.
Pho 2000 is good enough. Don’t need to go around searching for very good pho. It’s standard fare and that spring onion appetiser dip into salt pepper and squeeze of lime is a good palate cleanser. As long as they don’t do weird combinations like truffle.
Why would the fatty bone be dubious? Pho broth is made from cooking the hell out of those bones. They usually cost extra but the aunty gave them away for free.
In England we don’t get fatty bones served in restaurants or eating establishments so it’s strange looking. We use carcasses to make stock & slow cook a lot of various cuts on the bone too. But like I said bet it was tasty
I love it when a foreigner go to a pho place and think it the the best pho in Vietnam. It like us going to Mc Donald and say they have the best burger in America.
I said it's the best I have had yet! This isn't a famous place just a local spot in Tân Phú. We love to try new Vietnamese foods check out the other videos on my channel my friend. Cảm ơn rất nhiều
@@EllisWR beat pho in Saigon. Pho Vietnam district 1 across from New World Hotel. Pho Anh district 3 on Kỳ Đồng Street. You might want to try them out and see. But it just my opinion. But you can go to landmark 81 to try the 3 million dong pho. I heard that the best in the world not just Vietnam lol.
Hey Ellis,got to something for u in this vid: In 0:43,she tell u that the Special one cost 55 dong and the normal one cost 45 dong(guess u make her think that u ordered the normal one😅) In 1:24,she tell u that is her cook sauce(idk how to say it clearly but understand it as her homemade sauce😅) In 1:35 l,she introduce u some of her sauce,black sauce and Cholimex ketchup sauce(Cholimex is a sauce brand in VietNam)and one of her homemade sauce 2:41 she asked u if u want some extra noodle on ur bowl 4:41 she's show u the different between raw and cooked beef That's all i want to tell u,hope u have a great time in my country. Cheers!
