Why is "Pho Anh Hai" so popular?

Images of "Pho Anh Hai" restaurant are appearing frequently on social networks, making many people curious.

However, in reality, there is no pho restaurant named "Pho anh Hai" at 10 Dan Phuong. This is an image that appears in Brother Hai's Pho Restaurant - a Vietnamese game set in the Northern countryside, allowing players to transform into "Anh Hai" - a pho restaurant owner in Dan Phuong, Hanoi (pre-merger location). Players will experience cooking pho, serving and expanding the pho restaurant.

On a fanpage, the technology car application said that a large number of searches for the pho restaurant and the address in Dan Phuong appeared after the launch of the game. Although in reality, this is a fictional product.

On November 3, the location "Pho Anh Hai" was created on Google Maps. By the evening of the same day, this fictional restaurant had received more than 500 reviews, achieving an average score of 4.7 stars.

By the morning of November 4, the above location no longer appeared in the Dan Phuong area, Hanoi, but many other fictional pho restaurants named "Anh Hai" were added.

Tam the dog suddenly became famous because of his appearance like "Cau Vang"

The owner of the restaurant said that this dog is named Tam, 4 years old, weighs about 22-23 kg, and is a bull terrier. The dog is praised for being very gentle. Customers who come to eat often love to pet and reward Tam with grilled meat.
