Bún chả(Vietnamese:[ɓǔnca᷉ː]) is aVietnamese dishof grilled pork and noodles, which is thought to have originated fromHanoi,Vietnam.[1]Bún chả is served with grilled fatty pork (chả) over a plate of white rice noodles (bún) and herbs with a side dish of dipping sauce. The dish was described in 1959 by Vietnamese food writer Vu Bang (1913–1984), who described Hanoi as a town "transfixed by bún chả." Hanoi's first bún chả restaurant was on Gia Ngư,Hoàn Kiếm District,in Hanoi's Old Quarter.[2][3][4]

Although it is a common misconception among non-Vietnamese diners thatbún chảis related to theSouthern Vietnam dishof vermicelli and grilled skewered pork calledbún thịt nướng,the two dishes are completely distinct in both culinary history and cultural perception.
