Số Một began with a simple promise: make Vietnamese food that lifts the mood and nourishes the body. Our founders grew up between family kitchens and market stalls—from Hanoi’s broth traditions to Saigon’s fast, flavorful street fare—then brought those recipes to Manila.In our first year we served phở to curious neighbors; today we welcome regulars who crave that same bowl after work, on rainy days, and during family celebrations. What hasn’t changed is our cooking: slow-simmered broths, crisp herbs, balanced sauces, and lots of heart.


We cook Vietnamese by heart—clean, bright, layered—but tuned to Manila life. Think fiber-forward veggies, light proteins, and condiments you can dial up: calamansi, chilies, herbs. Lunch without the food coma; dinner that still feels light. Sarap that hugs, not heavy.


We kept the same heart:
warmth, freshness, and consistency in every bowl.
Join us for dine-in, grab takeout, or enjoy delivery with smart packing—broth and noodles separate to keep that bright, bouncy finish.






From Viet Taste (2015) to So Mot Today
Founded as So Mot Viet Taste, we set out to share authentic Vietnamese cuisine with the local community—flavors that celebrate balance, freshness, and nourishment.


We opened at Madison Commons Food Park (Kapitolyo, Pasig), bringing our family-style Vietnamese favorites closer to the neighborhood and growing our Manila community.
To make meals cozier and more complete, we launched a dine-in area—a warm space to enjoy clean broths, fresh herbs, and shareable dishes together.


As demand grew, we partnered with third-party delivery platforms, sending Vietnamese comfort straight to homes and offices across Metro Manila—sarap that travels well.
As we matured, our name evolved to So Mot Vietnamese Cuisine, reflecting our Vietnamese roots, Manila-friendly flavors, and a commitment to family-style, healthy-leaning meals.


We marked 10 years in Manila, staying true to what guests love: clean, slow-simmered broths, fresh herb baskets, and fiber-rich sides that feel light-but-busog for family and barkada.
