Bui Vien Street Vienna
Pho in Vienna, the Way I Like It
A good Pho is more than just noodle soup. At Bui Vien Street, you get a clear, slow-cooked broth with rice noodles, fresh herbs, and your choice of beef, chicken or tofu.
I love the slow ritual: first the scent of cinnamon and star anise, then adding lime, chili and sprouts bit by bit. No hype, just a bowl that lets you decompress for a moment.
The broth simmers for 12 hours – and you taste it from the first spoonful. The Pho Bo (beef) has that deep, almost addictive complexity you usually only find in Hanoi. The Pho Ga (chicken) is lighter, clearer, perfect when you want something gentle. And yes, the vegan Pho with tofu or seitan holds its own.
