Vietnamese cuisine CEO says pho at Chi Pu restaurant is salty

Mr. Nguyen Trung Dung, CEO of Dh Foods, traveled to Shanghai last week and stopped by Chi Pu's La Ganh restaurant to eat pho.

Mr. Dung then posted an article commenting on his culinary experiences here. Notably, he pointed out some limitations.

He wrote: "The pho is too salty (in my personal opinion, the young chef is like a fast food restaurant employee, not a professional chef and not Vietnamese so he doesn't know what pho broth should taste like).

The whole team had to add... spring water to the pho to make it edible. The pho broth... had no pho seasoning smell and no bone broth taste...".

According to him, if other Vietnamese pho chains enter the Chinese market, La Ganh restaurant will have difficulty competing.

"I think there should be Vietnamese chefs who know how to cook, at least initially, then they can train locals and develop some more dishes like stir-fried pho, banh mi and goi cuon," Mr. Dung wrote.

Mr. Dung also said that the restaurant only had a few customers, while the surrounding Chinese restaurants were very crowded.

Chi Pu started her business in China after her success in the show Dap Gio in 2023. The beauty opened the first Pho La Ganh branch on Dien Binh Street, Tinh An District.

"People who are in love when listening to the lyrics in particular and the song in general may think that it is about love between a man and a woman, but in fact my heart of love is bigger.

The lyrics really contain family affection, thinking about the place I always turn to. The home I thought of when writing that song was where my family, parents and audience are."
