Pho in the Wikipedia

We were happy to find a pho entry in the Wikipedia. Nothing ground-breaking to phonatics but it provides a decent overview for pho novices. Highlights of the page include:

  • A helpful (and accurate) pronunciation guide

  • Discussion of origins and regional influences

  • Styles / types of pho

  • Links to other Vietnamese foods like banh mi


  • An editor also linked to our pho restaurant guide in the external links section! We swear it was not one of us and are flattered to be recognized alongside other online resources about pho. Thanks Wikipedia!

    Does anyone know why Pho restaurants often have numbers after their name? Here in Minnesota we have Pho 79s. Why 79? Thanks.
