Chinese netizens are buzzing with comments about the photo "Wang Fei selling pho in Hanoi".

A Chinese tourist traveling to Vietnam posted a photo with the caption "Met Wang Fei in Hanoi, Vietnam. Looks really similar. What do you think?".

Immediately, the image attracted the attention and heated discussion of the Chinese online community.

The person in the photo is the owner of a famous pho restaurant in Hanoi. This tourist said that the owner looks a lot like the famous singer Vuong Phi.

After the article was published, many netizens were interested and surprised by the similarity between the two. Some people looked into the identity of the restaurant owner and discovered that she is also very famous in Vietnam.

A netizen left a comment: "The Hanoi version of Wang Fei that I saw on douyin turns out to be an Internet celebrity in Vietnam."

The owner is none other than Ms. Nguyen Thi Cat Le, owner of a pho bo and banh cuon shop in Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi. Her pho shop is famous for its "hanging" pho for charity, which is extremely meaningful.

Accordingly, each day the restaurant will "hang" 30 bowls of pho for those in need or in difficult circumstances to eat for free. Customers coming to the restaurant can also deposit money to "hang" some bowls of pho for those who eat later.

Every day, the restaurant only accepts a certain amount of pho bowls, not too much from anyone so that everyone has the opportunity to do charity.

Ms. Le's "hanging" pho restaurant has been famous on social networks since 2024. Up to now, the restaurant still receives attention and support from many people and diners.
