Pho Day 2025 will take place from 7 am to 9 pm on December 13th and 14th in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring nearly 30 renowned pho brands from North to South, along with many creative and innovative pho dishes reflecting the unique regional characteristics.
Everything is ready for Pho Day.
On December 12th, the pho stalls split into two groups: one group simmered the broth, picked herbs, chopped scallions and chili peppers, prepared the meat, etc., while the other group went to the event venue to prepare and decorate the stalls so that they could open at 7:00 AM the next morning to welcome customers to enjoy pho.
By 7 PM that day, some establishments had finished cooking the broth, while others wouldn't be ready until late at night. After a short nap, around 4 or 5 AM, all staff would gather at the Tax Department Store area to welcome the first customers, celebrating the 9th anniversary of Pho Day.
