The bones are simmered longer but with more aromatics \u2014 star anise, cinnamon, roasted ginger and onion \u2014 creating a broth that&#8217;s fragrant and slightly sweet. The noodles are wider and softer. And the serving comes with a plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, saw-leaf herb, and fresh chilies that you add yourself \u2014 a custom that doesn&#8217;t exist in Hanoi ph\u1edf.<\/p>\n<p>This herb plate is the main difference for most visitors. You&#8217;re not meant to eat them separately; you stuff them into the bowl while the broth is still hot so they wilt slightly, then eat everything together. The herbs cut the richness of the broth and add a freshness that makes the dish feel lighter than it is.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_order\"><\/span>What to order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Ph\u1edf b\u00f2<\/strong> \u2014 beef ph\u1edf, the classic. When you order, you&#8217;ll typically be asked which cut: <em>t\u00e1i<\/em> (rare sliced beef, added raw and cooked by the hot broth at serving), <em>ch\u00edn<\/em> (well-done brisket), <em>g\u1ea7u<\/em> (fatty brisket), <em>g\u00e2n<\/em> (tendon), <em>s\u00e1ch<\/em> (tripe). Ordering <em>t\u00e1i n\u1ea1m g\u1ea7u<\/em> (rare beef + flank + fatty brisket) gives you the full range of textures in one bowl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ph\u1edf g\u00e0<\/strong> \u2014 chicken ph\u1edf, with a cleaner, more delicate broth. Excellent when made well, underrated by tourists who default to beef.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_pho_in_Saigon\"><\/span>Where to eat ph\u1edf in Saigon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_the_classic_Saigon_experience\"><\/span>For the classic Saigon experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ph\u1edf H\u00f2a Pasteur<\/strong> \u2014 one of the most famous ph\u1edf restaurants in Saigon, operating since 1960 on Pasteur Street in District 3. The broth is reliably excellent, the portions are generous, and it&#8217;s one of the few places where the tourist crowd and the local morning-rush crowd genuinely overlap. Open from 6am. Price: 75,000\u2013110,000 VND.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ph\u1edf B\u00e0 D\u1eadu<\/strong> \u2014 a neighbourhood institution in District 3, less well-known than Ph\u1edf H\u00f2a but preferred by many locals for its richer, more complex broth.

Squeeze in lime, add sliced chili if you want heat, and a small spoon of hoisin sauce and chili sauce on the side (not directly into the broth \u2014 that&#8217;s a controversial practice among purists). Eat with chopsticks and a wide soup spoon simultaneously: pick up noodles and meat with chopsticks, chase with a spoonful of broth.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not rude to drink from the bowl.
