Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup typically made with a slow-simmered bone broth, rice noodles, thinly sliced meat (most commonly beef or chicken), and fresh herbs served on the side. It is a staple street food and home dish across Vietnam and is widely eaten as a full meal at any time of day. Per 100 g, pho provides 62 kcal, 5.8 g of protein, 1.4 g of fat, and 7.2 g of carbohydrates, with 0.6 g of dietary fibre and 1.6 g of sugars. Notable minerals include sodium at 520 mg per 100 g — reflecting the broth base — along with 185 mg of potassium and 18 mg of calcium. No glycemic index value is available for this dish. Pho is compatible with dairy-free and gluten-free dietary patterns, provided the broth and condiments used contain no wheat-based additives.
How many calories in pho?
Pho contains approximately 62 kcal per 100 g. A standard restaurant bowl typically weighs around 500–600 g, which would put a full serving in the range of 310–370 kcal, depending on the amount of meat and noodles.
How much sodium is in pho?
Pho contains around 520 mg of sodium per 100 g, largely due to its broth base. A full bowl can therefore contribute a substantial portion of daily sodium intake, which is worth keeping in mind if you are monitoring salt consumption.
Is pho gluten-free?
Traditional pho is made with rice noodles and a meat-based broth, making it naturally gluten-free in its classic form. However, some commercial broths, sauces, or condiments served alongside — such as hoisin sauce — may contain wheat, so it is worth checking ingredients when eating out.
