Phở Bowl Sizes

Nho

Small or regular-sized bowl. Usually enough to satisfy women and children.

Lon

Large; a decent meal for most men, ambitious women and bigger kids.

Dac Biet

Special; normally the same size as lon but with all cuts of beef included.

Xe Lua

The "Train Bowl" is not for the faint-hearted. Trains must be considered really big in Vietnam because this is the biggest bowl in the house. Like the dac biet, the xe lua contains all cuts of beef.
