Our journey of PhoLicious, began in the early 1980's when Mama Thu and Papa Le embarked on a perilous escape from Vietnam with their daughter, Anh, surviving pirate attacks and finding refuge in the United States as refugees. 

In 2002, their hard work bore fruit as Anh became the first in her family to attend college. Fate intervened when Anh met Joseph in 2004, and their unwavering dedication propelled Anh to graduate in 2008 with a BSN in Nursing. 

Building a life together in Texas, Anh as an ER nurse and Joseph climbing the ranks in the hotel industry, their weekly trips to a local Pho restaurant became cherished family moments, evoking memories of Anh's childhood and her mother's homemade Pho. However, when the pandemic struck, their beloved Pho outings vanished, and the demanding nature of their careers left little time for hours-long Pho preparation.

Determined to reintroduce their favorite meal into their lives, the entire family rallied to brainstorm a way to create authentic Pho in a fraction of the time. Drawing from Mama Thu's wisdom, Anh embarked on an experimental journey, refusing to compromise on flavor, taste, or authenticity. After numerous trials and errors, Anh & Mamma Thu reached a breakthrough, giving birth to the PhoLicious Kit in May 2021. A great ramen alternative!
