Our Story
The founders of Pho Yen
Where It All Began
Welcome to Pho Yen, where we bring the authentic taste of Hanoi's traditional Vietnamese noodle soup, Pho, to you. This dream has been ten years in the making, inspired by a deep-rooted passion for Pho — a passion that began in childhood. Born in 1989, growing up in a household where Pho was more than just a meal — it was a cherished family tradition. A mother whose love and dedication to crafting the perfect bowl instilled a profound appreciation for this iconic Vietnamese dish.
A Journey of Flavour
That mother has been proudly serving this beloved soup for 35 years, continually delighting customers with the genuine flavours of Hanoi. At Pho Yen, we honour the time-honoured methods of Pho preparation. Our rich, aromatic broth is simmered for 24 hours using premium beef bones, creating a depth of flavour that is both comforting and exhilarating. We enhance this base with a carefully balanced blend of spices — cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, fennel seed, and coriander seed — to achieve the quintessential Pho taste.
Pho Yen Today
Our Pho is served simply yet elegantly: soft and smooth white rice noodles, tender slices of rare or cooked beef, and a generous garnish of spring onions, all brought together by the steaming, fragrant broth. Each bowl is a tribute to the culinary traditions of Hanoi, crafted with the same passion and care that have been passed down through generations.
