The Western tourist experienced Wagyu beef pho at Tan Son Nhat airport (HCMC), appreciating the delicious flavor despite the high price.

Romain Bouffe Tout - a French YouTuber famous for his passion for exploring Asian cuisine, especially Vietnamese dishes - gave his last meal before leaving Ho Chi Minh City to try the pho advertised as "special" at Tan Son Nhat International Airport.

This is my last meal in Vietnam before flying to Thailand. I saw a signboard talking about a large Wagyu beef stew - I couldn't miss this last chance," Romain shared in a video posted on his personal YouTube channel.

In his video, Romain chose to enjoy pho at Big Bowl restaurant, located on the first floor of the airport.

The name Big Bowl is not too much. This bowl of coffee is really huge, Romain shared his first impression.

Romain also said that the bowl of pho has all the familiar ingredients such as bean sprouts, herbs, beef balls, chicken and especially Wagyu slices, sold for 21 USD (about 549,000 VND).

However, the male YouTuber's experience with a bowl of Wagyu beef pho is not completely complete.

"The first piece is very tough, almost uneatable. But luck is the next piece better, Romain commented.

Although the culinary experience is not completely complete, he still appreciates the overall flavor of the dish - especially the "very rich and delicious" broth.

Romain did not forget to compare: With a price of $21 for a giant bowl of pho at the airport, I think it is still reasonable - whether it is Wagyu beef or not Wagyu beef.

In conclusion, the male YouTuber rated the dish 8/10 points and encouraged tourists to try it if they had the opportunity to visit Tan Son Nhat airport.

In the comment section of the video, user Rodol Pheg shared: "I have to try it every day. Thank you for introducing! ".

Meanwhile, Clairon Patapon users have another opinion: "It doesn't look very attractive, Wagyu pho is expensive at the airport..." and think that the prices of dishes at the airport are often "huge".
