Pho is a noodle soup with meat, herbs and vegetables. It’s a classic dish that’s served everywhere in Hanoi and across the country.
Bún chả Hanoi is a Vietnamese dish of grilled pork and noodles. Bún chả Hanoi is served as a soup with grilled fatty pork and a plate of white rice noodles and a basket of vegetables/herbs. You then add your own noodles and vegetables/spices to your soup. It’s definitely my most favorite dish from North Vietnam! Please notice that there’s a difference between Bún chả and Bún chả Hanoi!
