For me, it's the McChicken.

The broths are different. From my experience, pho broth is light with aromatic smells and flavors. Ramen on the other hand, is savory and umami.

>pho
>broth with some shaved, stringy vegetables and slippery noodles
>ramen
>3x the actual food at .8x the price

>>11591437
i dont think we're talking about instant ramen lol

>>11591437
Wut? Pho is always cheaper and more food than ramen.

>>11591403
depends on how good the ramen noodles are, and how good the pho broth is. I'll take good pho broth over cheap ramen noodles. I'll also take good ramen noodles over mediocre pho broth.

>>11591429
Sure. My opinion isn’t mutually exclusive to that idea

>>11591429
>savory and umami
Same thing you pencil pushing weeb

>>11591403
Wat's the difference?

>>11591415
is that a wet piece of bread from the end of the loaf?

>>11591458
Yea I was just going to post that on its own but ended up just quoting you

>>11591489
looks like fried tofu

>>11591489

>>11591403
I prefer pho mainly because the closest ramen place in my area is like 2 hours away. Funny how theres like 3 pho places nearby within 10-20 minutes.

>>11591403
pho easily

ramen just tastes like noodles and oily water, its so fucking bland and boring

>>11591489
its what >>11591496 said. really good as a topping but as inarizushi like pic related. easy to make and pretty cheap too

>>11591440
Sorry, I live on the coast and pho got inflated by teenagers and hipsters. You can expect 16$ single-person bowls here and usually it's just vegetables and noodles.

>>11591523
Well that's not pho and is irrelevant.

>>11591523
>just vegetables and noodles
>pho

how? pho broth isn't fucking vegan, it's a meat broth for fucks sake, why would you have vegan pho

Pho tastes like sweat

>>11591550
How do you know what sweat tastes like?

>>11591523
lol where the fuck do you live? I can get great pho at a ton of places around me for less than $10. Orlando is a great spot for Vietnamese food

>Thailand nam sai moo
Master race checking in

>>11591403
hrm, it's easier for me to find quality ramen over pho. though i rate each other fantastic.

>>11591473
literally are not but ok faggot

>>11592433
t. someone who has never worked out in his life

>>11591523
What the fuck are you talking about? Pho is 10 in my city on the east coast. And I live in a major city.

>>11591437
>shaved, stringy vegetables
get pho dac biet next time

>>11591437
pho has meat and shit in it though

pho if i'm going out, ramen if i'm staying in.

>>11591523
>live in the cost
>it costs 11-12 if you order number 1, which is hone with the most meat.

>>11591510
You haven't had good ramen.

>>11591515
>easy to make
1st of all, fuck frying. 2nd, how the fuck do you easily fry tofu so that it lightly tears into a pouch. 3rd, you only own most of the ingredients in the recipe if you're a weeaboo. finally, all that shit for an appetizer? i don't think so, bitch.

>>11591523
you must live in SF or something, because I live 'on the coast' in seattle and a large pho, enough to stuff all but the fattest cu/ck/s, is 10 dollas tops, and some of the smaller non-chain places is like 7

>>11594072
if you live near an asian mart they sell them already fried and ready for you. you only really need rice and maybe some veg if ou want to dice them up finely and add them to the rice. most of the korean ones ive tried even have premaid seasoning packets on them so you can literally just have rice at home. its not an appetizer, its either a snack or a meal. works well as a picnic lunch

>>11594112
closest one is an hour away. i'll keep them in mind though they do look really good.

speaking of thai/vietnamese does anyone know a good dipping sauce for gui con/summer rolls that's NOT peanut butter based?? last month when i was travelling i went to a thai place and the dipping sauce was incredible, it was brown-ish, kinda thin, and i think it was maybe fish sauce, a bit of hoisin, vinegar, and just a tiny bit of chopped peanuts on top but i can't quite find the flavor when i try experimenting myself.

>>11594196
my trade secret is I dip my summer rolls into fish sauce mixed with sugar, lemon and chili peppers. way better than hoi sin sauce.

t. viet

>>11591403
as a viet that has been to japan alot i still prefer pho, ramen is too heavy think if anything i prefer miso/shio over tonkotsu

helps that unless you're in Cali/NYC you can't really get good ramen

>>11593175
I also live in Orlando. Share spots

>>11594306
>helps that unless you're in Cali/NYC you can't really get good ramen
Do we really have it that good compared to other places?

>>11594314
it's mediocre at best and way expensive in comparison, alot of the times you get stuff that is made by koreans

which doesn't make sense because i'd rather have good korean noodles

limes are based with pho. good ramen is better

>>11591523
>>11594083
Nah, even in SF the best pho place I've found is $12 a bowl. He's full of shit.

>>11593321
MARK GET OUT

>>11591437
>.8x the price
Maybe where you live. Where I am there's a huge, huge vietnamese community and all sushi and chinese restaurants are run by them, so pho is cheap as fuck and everywhere, while ramen is nowhere to be found.

>>11591523
Ha! $2 for a whole liter of Pho where I am.

laksa

>>11591429
Considering pho is based more off a bone broth and raman off a vegetable broth, and bone you got it the wrong way around if anything.

OH WOW JUST LOOOOOK AT ALL THAT CHILLI OIL!
OHOHOHOHOOO!

>>11591403
Why would it be and/or? Why not both? Pho is a a soup, you can eat/drink it if you want. Ramen base is a dipping sauce for noodles. You should only eat/drink it if you're willing to eat/drink ketchup or barbecue sauce.

>>11593321
> that much bean sprout in a soup noodle
That’s a yikes for me

>>11591403
Ramen. Pho is skimpy and the broth lacks depth.

>>11594553

LOOK AT THAT
THAT IS THE TRUE spicy...oily...RICH Sichuan FLAVOR
OH...OH...! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOHYEAH

>>11594797
Why in the ever living fuck would you not clean your bowl of ramen!? Getting to the end and having that broth/gravy juice left behind and gulping it down is the best part. FUCK YOURE STUPID.

>>11591403

Pho hands down.

I thought Id like ramen more, having grown up eating the cheap store bought shit for years and loving it. But after trying it at 3-4 different places and never enjoying it near as much as I thought I would...Ive found it disappointing.

Pho on the other hand I can eat once a week and crave it still. Get the steak, flank and tendon (usually like the #6), medium. Bean sprouts, basil, add a splash of sriracha and hoisin for color, and a side of both for dippin.

>>11591403
Spaghetti you soerg

>>11591437
>0.8x the price
Where the fuck are you finding ramen for less than $6.40 a bowl?

pho kinda sucks, and this is reflected in the fact that it was trendy and all the white people started getting it for a few weeks and then suddenly stopped

meanwhile ramen has been growing at a slower but steady pace with no signs of slowing down

pho will forever be relegated to weird ethnic dish
ramen will be accepted as a standard part of the american diet like pizza and chinese takeout

>>11591437
I just got a fresh bowl of pho for 80 cents USD.

Pho. Idk why man. I just do. It tastes better I guess

>>11596383
Ramen is better, but you're retarded and not for the reasons you said

>>11591403
Mie ayam

>>11596465
not an argument

>>11591409
This, honestly.

>>11591403
both are nice but probably pho, rice noodles dry out infinitely quickly if you prepare pho yourself, at least ramen can be prepared at your leisure.
>>11591411
mein neiger
>>11594112
every time ive had these they've been sweet and savory, when you buy them in stores are they relatively tame in flavor, or lacking entirely in sugar?

>>11591489
filename indicates it is a slab of fox meat.

>>11597190
they're pretty sweet but the vinegar and other shit you put in the rice usually tends to even it out for me. i also like eating them with wasabi. it might just be too sweet for your palate or i may be used to it because i had it growing up

There are 3 amazing ramen places within 15 minutes from me and all of the good pho places are 30+ minutes. For me, its gotta be ramen.

>>11594553
are those piss jars

>>11591523
You are a dumbass I live in the most expensive area of central Seattle and there is tasty pho with multiple meats for $8. Find better spots just cuz you went to one shit spot doesn't mean it all is

>>11591523

lol don't eat at bad chains
go find some kitchen filled with viets who don't speak english

Pho is for virgins, Ramen is for gentlemen who read philosophy.

>>11591403
If I had to pick one I would choose ramen. But pho is super great and I love it if I want something light and refreshing

>>11591403
ramen, because of the taste, but pho is good too

>>11591403
I've tried many times with pho but it just sux, ramen is almost always good... I'm sorry.

>>11591403
pho for breakfast/lunch
ramen for lunch/dinner

I can find Pho for $7 and Ramen for about $10. I always get Tonkotsu Ramen. As a whole I prefer ramen, but Pho broth is way better. Sometimes I'll just order the broth as a side.

>>11598634
can't you guys get decent shio ramen in the states?

>>11598641
Saw it offered, but haven't tried it yet.
Recently found a good place in Grand Terrace, CA. Lot's of Koreans, Beaners, and whites trying their hand at Japanese food, so we're getting some good approximations popping up.

>>11591403
Ramen doesn't even come close to pho with a fuck ton of hoisin sauce

>>11598655
>hoisin sauce
you're doing it wrong u tastelet
>>11598654
shio is basically clear broth (seasoned with salt and not with sauce, miso etc.) so you might like it.

while i love pho and eat it once a week, the greatest noodle soup ive ever eaten was pic related

>>11598655
Hoisin sauce is a trash sauce which overpowers everything its put in

There aren't any really good ramen places around where I live even the highest rated ones are shit run by Chinese and fellated by hipsters that don't know any better.

>>11594313
bunch of pho places on mills and west colonial china town

>>11594539
>raman off a vegetable broth
Boy, have I got news for you.

Virgin Ramen
Chad Pho

>>11598795
ramen is chink food though

>>11598834
I get what you're saying and in a certain technical sense you're correct, but I've almost never had really good tonkotsu from any other nationality than jp.
Maybe Alex French Guy can do it.

>>11598844
to be fair you can get decent soy sauce, salt or miso ramen anywhere but a decent tonkotsu place is a lot harder to find even in japan.

>>11598094
of course, how else would the neet feel secure enough to leave his basement. Something familiar always encourages the meek to step out.

>>11593321
S O G O O D

>>11591403
pho is trash

t.vietnigger.

>>11591411
Ooooh yeah

>>11594553
Seriously, why the piss jars?

>>11591403
I like ramen because the broth is better. Pho you're not even supposed to drink the broth, but it's still pretty good.

The "piss jars" look like they're fermenting some kombucha or something similar

>>11598890
Why the fuck do people group soy sauce ramen, salt ramen, miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen together anyway? Three of those are seasonings/flavourings and one is the base of the soup. You can have a tonkotsu soup seasoned with soy sauce.

Would /ck/ make tonkotsu
I have a
>slow cooker
I'm patient and I don't mind waiting.

>>11599084
What would a slow cooker have to do with tonkatsu

>>11591415
looks like something crawled into the bowl and then died there

>>11599084
Use a fucking pot, you want a boil.

>>11599090
People who buy slow cookers think they can just throw ingredients in and dishes will magically pop out that aren't unironic slops of shit.

>>11599094
Have you never seen green onions before?

>>11599109
I think that anon was referring to the meat, which looks gross and weird. May not even be meat but rather some tofu or satay abomination

>>11599117
>the meat
All I see is fried tofu and some green onions. Are we talking about the same pic?

>>11594539
>ramen off a vegetable broth
anon you are the vegetable

>>11599121
fuck off weeb

>>11599152
>weeb
Having been to a sushi place once makes you a weeb now? What the fuck are you even doing in this thread if you can't even recognize fried tofu?

>>11599121
Reread that post. The whole thing. It's not long.

>>11591489
>fucking Americans

>>11599082
because tonkotsu ramen seasoned with soy sauce is still a tonkotsu base broth. you don't have the thick bone soup in a soy sauce ramen since that has the soy sauce base.

you need to put more effort into trolling, dude.

>>11599460
You think a soy base broth only has soy in it? No, the soy sauce is part of the tare, the seasoning. The broth is also a bone soup just like tonkotsu, whether it be chicken/pork/whatever.

>>11599497
the soup isn't always bone based. they sometimes make it seafood based with deenz, katsuo bosshi etc.

>>11599497
it's also partly about the color of the soup. for soy broth, you can tell straight away it is soy sauce

>>11599509
Yes it's sometimes dashi, or a mix of stocks. Your point?

>>11591411
Dubs never lie

>>11599497
*tonkatsu

gr8 b8 m8 i r8 it 8/8

>>11591437
good pho has nice cuts of meat or even bones soaking in the broth

i work in a ramen joint so i get to eat ramen pretty often. maybe i'm biased, i'm craving some pho right now

Where my Toronto niggas at? There's this god tier pho joint in this Asian shopping plaza in Scarborough. Only went once so I have no idea how to find it again. Help pls

I don't really like one over the other. But I'd probably choose Ramen.
We've got a good Pho place right by my work. But the nearest Ramen place is 20+ minutes out of the way.

>Acknowledging anything Asian
Fucking weebs

>>11591403
This is more of an Apples and Oranges comparison because it really depends on what you want. I like pho for lunch because it tends to be lighter and not too filling, inversely ramen makes a good dinner because of how savory and hearty it can get. Either way, you're getting a couple days worth of sodium.

Ramen type of Dan-dan Noodle is common in Japan.
