Local tips
- Reserve a table in advance through the restaurant's booking system, especially for dinner and weekends. Walk-ins face long waits or may find no available seating.
- Try the signature pho broths on rainy or cold days for maximum comfort. The Phở Tái Lăn (garlicky pho with stir-fried beef) is particularly praised for its bold flavors.
- Request fresh basil, bean sprouts, and chili peppers as accompaniments to customize your pho to your preferred heat and flavor level.
- Inform staff of any dietary restrictions or allergies when ordering. The team is knowledgeable about gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan adaptations.
- Visit during quieter times (early lunch or mid-afternoon) if you prefer a more relaxed pace, though the lively atmosphere is part of the authentic street food experience.

Authentic Vietnamese Street Food in the Heart of Aarhus
Pho C&P brings genuine Vietnamese street food culture to Aarhus through a thoughtfully curated menu that draws from the finest dishes across different regions of Vietnam. The restaurant's mission is to recreate the warm, lively, and enjoyable atmosphere of Vietnam itself, transporting diners through carefully selected recipes and authentic preparation methods. From the moment you enter, the intimate setting and welcoming family atmosphere set the tone for an experience rooted in culinary tradition rather than commercial polish.The Signature Pho Experience
The restaurant's pho soups form the heart of the menu, each crafted with meticulous attention to broth quality and ingredient freshness. Options range from the delicate Phở Tôm with prawns to the robust Phở Tái Lăn, a garlicky preparation with stir-fried beef and garlic. The Phở Bò Tái Chín combines well-done and rare beef slices in a single bowl, while the Phở Gà offers a lighter chicken-based alternative. Each bowl arrives with fresh garnishes—basil, bean sprouts, and chili peppers—allowing diners to customize their experience. The broths are celebrated for their depth and clarity, a hallmark of Vietnamese pho tradition that requires hours of careful simmering.Beyond Pho: Diverse Regional Dishes
The menu extends well beyond pho to encompass Vietnam's regional diversity. Fresh summer rolls showcase delicate rice paper wrapping around fillings like marinated pork, crispy prawns, or stir-fried chicken. Deep-fried spring rolls with chicken provide textural contrast, while the restaurant's homemade crispy prawns represent a signature preparation. Bún dishes—rice noodle bowls topped with stir-fried proteins and fresh vegetables—offer lighter alternatives, as do the Mỳ Quảng preparations featuring the restaurant's house-made crispy prawns. Vegetarian and vegan options, including mushroom stir-fry bún, ensure inclusivity across dietary preferences.Intimate Setting and Practical Considerations
The restaurant's small, intimate space creates an undeniable charm but requires strategic planning. Seating is limited, and the venue frequently reaches capacity during peak hours. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for dinner service and weekends. The cozy environment—enhanced by the presence of the owner's family and genuine hospitality—compensates for the lack of sprawling dining space. The restaurant operates as a fast-paced establishment, reflecting its street food heritage, which means service is efficient and the atmosphere remains lively throughout operating hours.Value and Quality Philosophy
Pho C&P has built its reputation on delivering exceptional quality at reasonable prices. Most dishes fall well under 130 Danish kroner, making authentic Vietnamese cuisine accessible without compromise on ingredient quality or preparation standards. This pricing philosophy, combined with the use of fresh ingredients and traditional cooking methods, explains the restaurant's consistent popularity and loyal customer base. The value proposition extends beyond price to encompass portion sizes and the care evident in each dish's presentation and flavor.Accessibility and Dietary Accommodations
The restaurant accommodates multiple dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. While there is no dedicated gluten-free menu, staff are knowledgeable and helpful in identifying suitable dishes or suggesting modifications. Many pho broths and rice noodle dishes are naturally gluten-free or easily adapted. Communication with staff about dietary needs is encouraged and met with genuine support.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
