Pho-nomenal Regional Vietnamese Eateries You Need To Try
Slurp, slurp, and slurp some more. That is the kind of world you’ll be exposed to within an authentic Vietnamese restaurant, where the star dish is a warm and soothing bowl of pho.
This staple is a rich broth packed with noodles, herbs, and some sort of protein, usually beef or chicken. Simple as it may sound, its flavor profile is far from it. To dig into this Vietnamese creation, we are introducing to you the region’s very own Vietnamese eateries to hit up:
What The Pho – Cairo
Checking off the trailblazing list, “What The Pho” is Egypt’s first-ever Vietnamese restaurant. Nestled in the district that is a literal melting pot of culture, Maadi, the restaurant serves up the ultimate 3 classics: pho, banh mi, and summer rolls.
From tender and juicy beef brisket pho to succulent and briny shrimp pho, they do it all. Hit up the restaurant if you ever crave the hot broth.
Vietnamese Foodies – Dubai
Comfort food is a must, especially during a long and hectic work day. If you have one of those days, hitting up Vietnamese Foodies can do the trick. With over seven branches open across Dubai, this Asian eatery knows how to spread its wings.
When dining inside, you get to indulge in Vietnamese classics, but nothing beats the ultimate classic of soul-soothing pho. We recommend indulging in their Chicken Pho Noodle Soup, a crowd favorite that gets simmered for 14 hours in a rich broth packed with nutrients and flavors.
Tuk Tuk Saigon – Doha
Just as with the UAE, Qatar is every foodie’s dream, home to every cuisine imaginable. That means that they also have their very own Vietnamese eateries, and the one we recommend is Tuk Tuk Saigon.
Opening its doors back in 2022, this eatery does it all, from crispy stuffed tofu and Vietnamese fresh spring rolls to the ultimate signature dish, Pho Bo (beef noodle soup).
Vietnamese Pho – Abu Dhabi
Making it on Time Out Abu Dhabi’s 2023 Best Budget Restaurant isn’t the only thing that makes Vietnamese Pho special. Along with that, Vietnamese eateries like to give their customers an authentic taste of Asian cuisine.
Probably one of the most diverse eateries on this list, Vietnamese Pho offers everything from juicy chicken skewers and zesty lemongrass sea bass to Vietnamese pho.
Little Asian(Vietnamese Restaurant) – Manama, Bahrain
This eatery doesn’t only serve up Vietnamese food, it also offers its diners Burmese cuisine, dishes from the land of fish sauce and dried prawns. Vietnamese cuisine is similar to fish dishes that dominate it.
At Little Asian, you get exposed to both cuisines, giving you double the indulgence. Classics to enjoy include the Banh Mi and, of course, the classic traditional Vietnamese soup known as pho.
If you are craving a different taste of Asian cuisine, one that goes outside the box of the typical Chinese and Thai spots dominating the region, these are the eateries to go for.
