Thien Huong Food Vi Huong Beef Flavor

Thien Huong Food Vi Huong Beef Flavor is a Vietnamese instant noodle that made an impression before we even tasted it. James said it smells exactly like Bun Bo Hue. That kind of slow-simmered beef scent from an instant noodle is not something you get often.

Produced in Vietnam.

What’s in the Package

Inside the packaging, you’ll find a round block of fried wheat noodles accompanied by two seasoning sachets and a plastic folding fork. There is a larger silver soup base sachet containing the beef-flavored powder and a smaller transparent flavouring oil sachet.

How to Cook Vi Huong Beef Flavor

1. Place the dried noodle block and the contents of both the soup base and flavouring oil sachets into a deep bowl.
2. Pour approximately 350ml to 400ml of boiling water over the noodles (until they are mostly submerged).
3. Securely cover the bowl with a lid or plate and let it sit for 3 minutes.
4. Remove the cover, stir well to ensure the oil and powder are fully incorporated, and enjoy using the included fork.

How Does It Taste

The broth delivers on what the smell promises. It’s salty in the best way. It’s got a traditional beef profile that James compared to the classic Kung Fu beef noodle soup flavor but with a little more kick. There’s a lingering spice in the aftertaste that sits at a 2 out of 5 and keeps things interesting without dominating the bowl. It builds slightly as you eat which is a good sign.

The noodles are thin and wavy. Nothing exceptional but they do their job and carry the broth well through the whole bowl.

How Does It Compare

One of the more authentic-tasting Vietnamese beef instant noodles on the site. The Vifon Beef Flavor Bun Bo Hue is the most direct comparison. Both are going for the same Vietnamese beef noodle profile. The Thien Huong has a slightly spicier aftertaste. The Chin-Su PhoStory Beef Flavored is another Vietnamese beef option worth comparing but leans more pho than Bun Bo Hue.

How to Level Up Thien Huong Food Vi Huong Beef Flavor

Sauté tomatoes, onion, and garlic together before adding them to the bowl. It builds on the beef base in a way that feels natural for this flavor profile. Thinly sliced beef cooked in the same pan gives you something to eat alongside the noodles. Finish with fresh green onions right before serving.

Final Verdict

One of the better Vietnamese beef instant noodles we’ve tried. The Bun Bo Hue smell is real and the flavor follows through. The lingering spice keeps it from being one-dimensional. Worth picking up if you see it.
