Why Join Us?

In Vietnam, the only internationally recognised dish is pho, which ¾ of the world still pronounces as “foh”. But is pho the only thing representative of Vietnamese cuisine? Vietnamese cuisine has a lot more to offer and that is the main reason why we have started this organisation.

In the end, our goal is to create a movement that connects people with Vietnamese food and showcases Vietnamese cuisine to the world. Read more about it in our Manifesto.
