Small Beef Rice Noodle

The dish you are referring to is likely called "Small Beef Rice Noodle" or "Small Beef Rice Vermicelli" on restaurant menus in the USA. It is a type of Vietnamese noodle soup called "Pho" that is made with a flavorful beef broth, thinly sliced beef, rice noodles, and herbs.

The broth is typically made by simmering beef bones, oxtails, and/or beef knuckle bones for several hours. Spices such as star anise, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and cardamom may be added to the broth for extra flavor. The broth is then strained and seasoned with fish sauce, salt, and sugar to taste.

Thinly sliced beef, such as eye of round or London broil, is added to the hot broth just before serving. The beef cooks quickly in the hot broth. Rice noodles, also known as rice vermicelli or "bun," are added to the bowl.

Small Beef Rice Noodle is typically served with a plate of fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, and mint, as well as bean sprouts, lime wedges, and sliced jalapenos. Diners can customize their bowl by adding the desired amount of herbs, bean sprouts, and condiments to the soup.

It is common in Vietnamese culture to eat this soup by slurping the noodles and broth directly from the bowl. Chopsticks can be used to pick up and eat the beef, while a spoon is used to sip the broth.
