What to Order at a Vietnamese Restaurant | Pho & More

Trying Vietnamese food for the first time should be exciting, not intimidating. The menu at Pho & More has plenty to explore, but a few classics make an easy and very delicious starting point. Here is a simple guide to ordering your first meal with confidence. Start With a Bowl of Pho Pho is Vietnamese noodle soup made with aromatic broth, rice noodles, herbs, and your choice of protein. Add bean sprouts, basil, lime, and a little chili if you like some heat. It is comforting, flavorful, and one of the best introductions to Vietnamese cooking. Taste the broth on its own first, then build the bowl to your liking. If you are unsure which protein to pick, classic beef or chicken is always a safe, satisfying choice. Add Fresh Summer Rolls or Crispy Spring Rolls Fresh summer rolls are light, bright, and packed with herbs, vegetables, and protein wrapped in delicate rice paper. They are a great choice if you want something refreshing to balance a warm bowl of soup. Crispy spring rolls bring the crunch, golden and savory with a satisfying bite. Either way, a good dipping sauce makes them disappear fast, so consider ordering both for the table. Try a Banh Mi or Vermicelli Bowl A banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich that brings together savory meats, crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and bold flavor on a light, crusty roll. It is proof that a sandwich can be exciting. Vermicelli bowls are another favorite: rice noodles, grilled protein, vegetables, herbs, and a flavorful sauce in one satisfying bowl. Both are lighter than they sound and packed with flavor, which makes them perfect for a first-timer who wants something familiar but new. Do Not Be Afraid to Mix and Match One of the best things about Vietnamese food is how well it shares. Order a few appetizers for the table, pick a couple of different entrees, and pass everything around. That way, everyone gets a taste of something new without committing to one dish. It is a low-pressure way to find your favorites. Save Room for Something New Pho & More also serves Thai favorites, so the table does not have to agree on one cuisine. The only bad move is ordering the same thing every visit, unless it is your favorite pho, in which case we understand. Come in, ask our team for a recommendation, and make your first visit the beginning of a new local food habit. Pho & More is located at 1200 Welsh Road, Suite E2, North Wales, PA 19454.
