What is Not Phở and why the name Not Phở? To be clear, there is nothing wrong with Phở and as a matter of fact it is one of my favorite noodle soups. However, there is more to Vietnamese cuisine than just Phở, and many people I know are not even aware that these other delicious dishes even exist!
That’s where Not Phở comes in — it’s a digital cookbook exploring Vietnamese cuisine, accompanied by beautiful illustrations and interactive animations to make the experience memorable. Try your hand at new flavors, with 50+ recipes that include:
• Banh Mi Sandwich
• Vietnamese Crêpes
• Vermicelli Noodles
• Egg Rolls
• Broken Rice
• and more!
These are recipes that I grew up with, and collected and modified over the years, to showcase what Vietnamese cuisine is all about. That said, the dishes and recipes presented are just a small sample of Vietnamese culture, and there is still more to be explored! The name Not Phở was chosen not to deter people, but contrarily it is meant to encourage you to explore Vietnamese cuisine to its fullest, broadening your horizons much farther than just Phở!
Not Phở fully supports VoiceOver, several Accessibility features, and is localized in English and Vietnamese. When an external keyboard is connected, you can even grow or shrink the text size when you need it most using the ⌘+ and ⌘– commands.

Not Phở FAQ

Is Not Phở legit?
Not enough reviews to make a reliable assessment. The app needs more user feedback.
As an Asian American with immigrant parents from Vietnam, I grew up with both American and Vietnamese cultures. Despite this, there are still aspects of Vietnamese culture I did not knew, particularly since I've lived in the U.S. for my entire life so far (I’m only fifteen years old at the time I wrote this review.) While searching for ways to improve my Vietnamese, I stumbled upon this app by chance. At first, I expected “Not Phở” to be an okay app that could broaden my knowledge of Vietnamese cuisine.
However, as soon as I opened the app, I was instantly impressed by its beautiful, simple, and modern design.
The app's clean graphic design and smooth animations are easy to navigate, and it offers a rich amount of information I never knew before! For example, although my mother cooks Vietnamese dishes ALMOST all the time, I did not knew most of the specific ingredients she used, but this app told me everything about the ingredients in an instant. 🍚
You can really feel the love and dedication pour into this app by its creator, Linh. If you're reading this, Linh, thank you so much for gifting the world this gem, and for making it free for everyone to enjoy. (I rarely write reviews, but you deserve it! 🥹)
This app is incredibly easy to use and it’s badly underrated. PLEASE, as a Vietnamese myself, I am begging you to DOWNLOAD this app if you are interested in learning Vietnamese cuisine. 🇻🇳💕🌸
Neat
What a cute neat app of Vietnamese food. Hopefully, there will be more recipes, especially from the northern side.
Cool app
Great for learning about food, culture and language
Nice app!
Very cool App! I like the UI and animations. Good job! 💪
Beautiful and great. Thank you!
Thank you for such a beautiful app. You deserve every tip you get in this free app.
It’s beautiful!
I downloaded this because I was interested in the recipes, but now I’m just scrolling through it because it’s one of the most elegant app I’ve ever seen. Icons are crisp, easy to navigate, I wish all cooking apps were this good. It’s a pleasure to just look at, but also it does an excellent detailed job explaining many dishes I’ve been wanting to make. Can’t wait to get cooking!
Finally!!!
I love how it pronounces the dishes. Can’t wait for more updates with more dishes.

This app taught me more about Vietnamese cuisine in a few minutes than I learned reading menus for years. The graphics are really fun too. Be prepared though, this app made me hungry.
