Vietnamese noodle soup : phở

Phở, (pronounced fuh) is the Vietnamese national dish; an aromatic & delicious rice noodle soup served with a side plate of fresh herbs to add as you please. The addition of these herbs, & the sauces you see on the table, are an essential part of eating phở & add another dimension to the dish, tailoring it to your own personal tastes. Our broths are made in each restaurant by slowly simmering bones for a good 12 hours & it's this authentic preparation that is key to phở retaining all its goodness & developing its own distinctive tastes & aromas. We think it's the best noodle soup in the world!
