International Bacon Day lands on August 30, and most restaurants have to invent something to fit the occasion. Pho Fresh 2U doesn’t have to — bacon is already a real, recurring ingredient across three sections of its verified menu, not a one-off special dreamed up for a hashtag.
This isn’t a Bacon Day promotion built from scratch. It’s a look at three dishes that are on the menu today, at their normal prices, that happen to line up perfectly with the occasion.
The Three Real Bacon Dishes on the Menu
Bacon Shrimp Tempura — $11.95 (Starters) Tempura shrimp paired with bacon in the starters section — a genuine surf-and-smoke combination, not a garnish. Order it as a shareable appetizer while the rest of the table’s order comes together.
Me Love Bacon Roll — $16.95 (Goi Cuon – Spring Rolls) Part of the specialty spring roll lineup alongside the Crazy Crab Roll and Shrimp Delight Roll. The name signals exactly what it is — a spring roll built around bacon as the star ingredient, in the same fresh-roll format as the rest of the Goi Cuon menu.
Bacon Fried Rice — $14.95 (Com – Rice Plates) A rice plate option that swaps the usual protein for bacon, cooked into the fried rice itself rather than added as a topping. It’s also available for groups: Bacon Fried Rice (Half Tray) is on the catering menu at $50.
Why This Matters for a Vietnamese Menu
Bacon isn’t a traditional Vietnamese ingredient — Pho Fresh 2U’s core identity is built on 24-hour beef bone broth pho and a genuinely separate 100% plant-based vegan kitchen. That’s exactly what makes these three dishes worth calling out: they’re a deliberate fusion choice on top of an otherwise classic Vietnamese and vegan menu, not a compromise of it. Diners who want the traditional route still have the full pho, banh mi, and vegan lineup; diners who want the bacon angle have three specific, named dishes to choose from.
Building a Bacon Day Order
For Aug 30, a natural build is the Bacon Shrimp Tempura as a starter, the Me Love Bacon Roll to split, and the Bacon Fried Rice as the main — three different formats (fried, rolled, fried rice) all built around the same ingredient, ordered as one meal or split across a small group.

The Bottom Line
International Bacon Day doesn’t require Pho Fresh 2U to fabricate anything — the Bacon Shrimp Tempura, Me Love Bacon Roll, and Bacon Fried Rice are already on the menu, at their regular prices, ready to order any day of the year, including Aug 30.
