Phở or pho[a] (UK: /fɜː/, US: /fʌ/ FUH, Canada: /fɔː/ FAW; Vietnamese: [fəː˧˩˧] ⓘ) is a Vietnamese soup dish consisting of broth, rice noodles (bánh phở), herbs, and meat – usually beef (phở bò), sometimes chicken (phở gà).[3][4] Phở is a popular food in Vietnam[5] where it is served in households, street-stalls, and restaurants country-wide. Residents of the city of Nam Định were the first to create Vietnamese traditional phở. It is considered Vietnam's national dish,[6] and is said to be influenced by Chinese and French cultures.[7]
Phở originated in the early 20th century in Northern Vietnam, and after the Vietnam War, refugees popularized it throughout the world. Because phở's origins are poorly documented,[8][9] there is disagreement over the cultural influences that led to its development in Vietnam, as well as the etymology of the name.[10] The Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs and sauce.
In 2017, Vietnam made 12 December the "Day of Pho".[11]
