Looking for pho in Leipzig? At Mami Viet in Leipzig-Lindenau, Pho 34 is part of the lunch menu: a rice noodle soup in a traditional broth made with ten spices, topped with spring onion and coriander. You can order it with pan-fried beef, chicken fillet, or a vegan tofu-and-seitan version.

A warm bowl of pho is exactly what a lunch break calls for: quickly served, warming, and still light enough that you’re not sluggish back at your desk afterward. At Mami Viet on Merseburger Str. 107, near Lindenauer Markt in Altlindenau, you get it as part of a fixed, honestly priced lunch menu.

What exactly is pho?

Pho is one of the best-known soups in Vietnamese cuisine: a clear, slow-simmered broth with flat rice noodles, thin slices of meat or tofu, and fresh herbs like coriander and spring onion. The broth is what matters most – it takes time and the right mix of spices to build its characteristic depth and warmth. Pho 34’s broth is made with ten spices, topped with fresh rice noodles, spring onion and coriander.

Unlike many creamy or heavily spiced soups, pho is traditionally aromatic rather than spicy. If you like it hotter, just ask when you order, so the soup can be adjusted to your taste.

Pho 34 at Mami Viet: what’s in it

Pho 34 is part of the lunch menu (M1–M10) and listed as its own specialty:

  • Broth: traditional, made with ten spices

  • Toppings: spring onion, coriander
  • Choice of: pan-fried beef, chicken fillet, or tofu and seitan (vegan)
  • Price: €13 (lunch menu, daily 11:00 am–2:00 pm)

If you eat vegan, Pho 34 isn’t a token dish here – the tofu-seitan version is a full option in its own right, not a stripped-down version of the meat dish. All allergens are also marked on the menu, so you can choose with confidence if you have an intolerance.
