Been wondering for a while if there is actually a place here selling vietnamese pho, I had it in Atlanta and San Francisco back then good gracious was it good. However I haven't really notice any of that available here despite the fact that Vietnam is pretty close.

I have had a hankering for good Pho, (or any Pho for that matter) for a few years now. If I remember correctly from my Vietnamese friend back home, Pho comes from the south part of the country which is quit far from here. That and I don't believe there is a sizable Vietnamese population here in KM.

There have been some Vietnamese establishments in Kunming over the past few years including one behind the Worker's Cultural Palace on Baoshan Jie and also a small place behind the Wenlin PSB on Wenhua Xiang. Unfortunately none of the places I've become aware of have managed to stay in business.
As I understand it, the Vietnamese population in Kunming is one of the largest of any country represented here... perhaps the majority of Vietnamese living here are students or are working for Vietnamese companies.
Regardless of why there is almost no Vietnamese food here, I'm guessing that there are a lot of people who would be happy to see a Vietnamese restaurant open up shop.
