Asian Soup Spoon Size & Shape Guide (For Ramen, Pho, Congee)
Get the right spoon for your bowl. This quick guide covers length, bowl width/depth, and hooks/notches so your ramen, pho, and congee are easier (and less messy) to eat.
Quick size table
| Use | Length | Bowl width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramen | ~16–18 cm (6.3–7") | ~4.2–4.8 cm | Hook/notch helps rest on bowl rim |
| Pho | ~15–17 cm | ~4.5–5.0+ cm | Wide bowl to scoop herbs & sprouts |
| Congee | ~14–16 cm | ~4.0–4.6 cm | Deeper bowl keeps porridge steady |
Shape tips
- Deeper bowls carry more broth and toppings; great for congee and pho.
- Curved tips sip smoothly; flat tips scrape noodles and toppings cleanly.
- Hook / notch prevents the spoon from slipping into the bowl.
