Pho (pronounced "fuh") rhymes with "duh" and it's the only Vietnamese word I know. I'm a certifiable phonatic, and thanks to the globalization that brought Vietnamese cuisine to the US, I only need travel to Bloomfield for a satisfying pho fix.

Pho, a popular street food as well as the national dish of Vietnam, is essentially a rice noodle soup with broth, spices and herbs, and depending on what region of Vietnam you're eating, a variety of garnishes and sauces as well.
