What participating venues get
Free inclusion, a dedicated event page and structured dish-level feedback. Each restaurant can nominate a pho and decide whether a smaller tasting portion is workable.
First-edition details
The listed kitchens are the proposed first route. Venue participation and tasting portions remain subject to confirmation; normal-menu pho still qualifies.
