This instant pho has a classic Vietnamese flavor profile. The smell has a noticeable star anise scent that is very characteristic of traditional pho.
Produced in Vietnam by Vietnam Food Industries Joint Stock Company (Vifon).

The flavor also includes hints of turmeric, coriander, and a touch of garlic. While the broth is slightly bland and could use more salt, it features little chicken soy bits that add a nice texture. I would recommend trying to cook this with about 50ml less water to make the flavor more concentrated.
It’s a light and comforting option, especially given its relatively low calorie count of 210. The noodles are wider than standard noodles but still thin, and they have a good texture. I enjoyed this instant pho quite a bit and will probably eat this more often.
This was also really easy to cook since you just needed to add everything with hot water in a bowl and wait 3 minutes.
To level up this bowl and bring it closer to an authentic pho experience, I’d suggest adding a variety of pho toppings like bean sprouts and cilantro. Rotisserie chicken would also be a great addition to provide more protein. For an even richer flavor, you could try preparing the noodles with chicken broth instead of water.

Final Verdict
A light, easy instant pho with a real star anise smell. The broth is a little bland, so use about 50ml less water. I’d eat this one again.
