HANOI, VIETNAM: Welcome to Hanoi, Vietnam, the capital of the most well known Vietnamese food around the world - pho! Today I’m hanging out with my friend Khoa from @Hanoifood and we’re taking you on an unforgettable pho tour of Hanoi. We’ll be eating at 5 of the best pho restaurants and stalls in Hanoi, and sharing with you the history of how pho came about and how it took over the world as the most famous of all Vietnamese food.

Huge thanks to Khoa: @Hanoifood

Here are all the pho spots we ate at in this video:

1. Phở Mạnh Cường (goo.gl/maps/MLh55yK9cy1x2gaKA?entry=yt)
Price: 55,000 VND ($2.31) per bowl
We’re starting off with a simple bowl of pho, but very popular for breakfast in Hanoi.

2. Pho Thin (goo.gl/maps/LM5viiFn85xSBhcNA?entry=yt)
Price: 70,000 VND ($2.94) per bowl
This is one of the most famous bowls of pho in Hanoi, and they even have restaurants abroad. One of their signatures is that they stir fry the beef instead of boiling it. It’s not doubt one of the best bowls of pho you’ll ever eat.

3. Phở Bò Ấu Triệu (goo.gl/maps/iGbqejrNy3dAnYsA8?entry=yt)
Price: 60,000 VND ($2.52) per bowl
Another bowl of extraordinary beef pho, this was one of my favorites of the day.

4. Phở gà Phương (goo.gl/maps/Wckk9d85ZHRUna7X8?entry=yt)
Price: 100,000 VND ($4.20) for full toppings
Along with beef, chicken pho has a unique history and Khoa takes me to one of his favorite places - this place is outstanding!

5. Phở Hạnh (goo.gl/maps/ukmNLSRyY5gGAnpm9?entry=yt)
Price: 50,000 VND ($2.10) per bowl, 80,000 VND (3.36) salad
To wrap up this ultimate Vietnamese street food pho tour we tried one more bowl of chicken pho - but this time a dry version with soup on the side. Additionally the cabbage chicken salad was life-changing.

Thank you for watching this ultimate Vietnamese street food tour in Hanoi!

    My dad's a Vietnam veteran, an out of all of the Asian countries he traveled Vietnam grabbed his heart the most. That's why his ptsd is so bad. He always said we destroyed such a gorgeous country but he loves the look of it today.

    I’m Mexican grew up in California I was introduced to pho at a young age. And I love it I eat it at least twice a month it’s so homey and makes me feel at home even though I’m Mexican! Much love to Vietnam 🇻🇳!

    I will never forget the wonderful taste of vegetarian🥬 pho (without chicken) that I ate the night when I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam is the No1 country in Southeast Asia that serves us best French baquette🥖 and coffee☕. I really like Banh Beo,special snack of Hue🦐.

    I watched a video episode where Mark and his Vietnamese friend visited famous pho restaurants in Hanoi. I was filled with emotions and amazed when I switched to his channel to watch how he talked about Hanoi Pho. As a Hanoi local and a passionate lover of traditional Hanoi cuisine, I truly admire his communication style. 1- The way he filmed and narrated was very engaging, energetic, and incredibly natural. 2- He did research on the origins of Pho, so the video editing truly became high-quality, providing useful information to the viewers. He was clever in respecting his Vietnamese friend. 3- Most importantly, what I highly appreciate is that even though he is not Vietnamese, he had a certain knowledge about Pho before tasting it. His eating style and approach were quite close to the criteria of enjoying Pho. I can assert that with his extensive experience and vast knowledge of cuisine, he had found the most proper way to eat Pho for himself. However, for the audience, he went through the additional experience of tasting various flavor profiles and exploring different notes to convey to his viewers. 4- I hope that the next time he visits Hanoi, he can find a local guide who can help him discover more mysterious Pho places. A guide who possesses more knowledge about the culinary history and food culture, enabling them to interact directly with him on the set. That would be truly priceless. I truly admire and love him.

    PHO YEAH! I was born in California I remember my first bowl of pho in the 90's hands down one of my favorite all time meals especially on a cold rainy/winter days. 🙏🏿🙌🏿👍🏿
  • @kenny3265
    Majority of the world having Pho in their country from a Vietnamese restaurant and through social media are widely Southern Style of Pho. Most of the world rarely see this or known this style of Northern Pho from Hanoi which serve with beef and lots “I mean lots of onions”, quẩy, and pickle garlic on side. Thank you Mark for your dedication and showing the world that Pho are different from each region. Also not to mention that they did a good job to demonstrate how to enjoy egg on the side. Never mix it in with the broth because that will kill the flavor of the broth and make it stink with the egg smell. Slurp in one go peeps !
  • @rinasiuta
    Mark is a humbled and respectful person👏🏽 he probably went through a lot but remained grateful so thank you Mark for your presence and kindness👏🏽👏🏽
  • @jthomas420
    I flew into Hanoi on Jan 1st 2023 and spent 6 days there. Really loved it, it was a crazy place but it was so alive and exciting. I was eating pho multiple times a day. I can't wait to return there one day!
  • @FlavorofMind
    Mark has really stepped up the quality of these videos over the last couple years, and to see him back in Vietnam in this format just makes for an excellent watch. Awesome.
  • @blubirbs
    I love how Mark's video quality have gone better and better with every year. He puts so much care into each and everyone of them, and he's not putting out content half-heartedly like a lot of others. Quality over quantity and it is so worth it. Thank you Mark! I hope I can visit all these places you go to one day.
  • @chucktz469
    Mark you know Pho' is one of my absolute favorites of noodle soups ever! When I first met my wife of 15 years she introduced this bowl mixture of rice noodles, beef parts, & fresh herbs in clear hot broth. I took my first bite and couldn't stop until I finished it I even drank the broth. Omgoodness! Its was out if this world good! I definitely enjoyed watching you & your company slurp down those different delicious bowls of greatness. I so wish I could've been there enjoying all versions of Pho'... Thanks again Mark for the phenomenal content everytime never missing a shot of excellence and explosive tasteful quality ventures. 🌶🍜🍲

  • @MinhPham-nu8il
    Mark, thank you for visiting my hometown Hanoi. Had I known you were in town, I would've love to come by and say hello. You are my favorite food reviewer, I started watching you when you first came to Vietnam to do videos. It is tremendously pleasant to see how the video quality, the production quality has increased since your last trip to Vietnam. Please come back again and I do really hope to meet you one day just to say hi. I'm very happy for all the success you've been getting and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers Minh
  • @2009bowling
    Thanks Mark, for a true and honest representation of Pho. This is the first time anywhere, I have ever heard the credit given to the actual locals and not just always the western or French creating/influencing.
