Mixed pho ranks highest at 35th place, with a 4.1/5 rating. Taste Atlas describes it as "a dry variation of the traditional Vietnamese pho soup, popular in Hanoi and particularly enjoyed during the summer."

According to Taste Atlas, mixed pho is served without broth. The meat is sliced and marinated with salt, ginger, pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and five-spice powder, then stir-fried and tossed with fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, lettuce, bean sprouts), fried onions, and pho noodles. It's served with a sauce made of vinegar, fish sauce, and sugar, often garnished with peanuts and chili, and accompanied by lime wedges.

The other two Vietnamese dishes on the list are nom, ranked 45th with a score of 4, and bo tai chanh, ranked 65th with 3.9 points.

"Nom is the name used in northern Vietnam, while in the south, it's called goi. Nom is usually mixed with a dipping sauce and served with shrimp crackers. Common ingredients include shredded vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, papaya, green mango, banana blossoms, sliced cucumbers, and shredded meat or seafood," the culinary website explains.

Bo tai chanh is described as a combination of thinly sliced beef, seared with lemon or lime juice, then mixed with fried garlic. The dish is typically presented on a bed of fresh herbs and onions, garnished with red chili peppers, crushed peanuts, and fried onions. Taste Atlas suggests enjoying bo tai chanh as an appetizer with fish sauce and alcoholic beverages.
