I don't think you dislike pho. I think you are just scared to enjoy something that you see as 'millennial' or 'zoomer' because you are incredibly insecure. Most likely you have never even had it.

I don't "get" pho. It's just noodles in broth. I feel like I need to order from a secret me u because I've ordered pho on many different occasions and never gotten anything satisfying. I could easily to go to a pub and buy some chicken soup and it's be 10x tastier and more filling than any pho. What exactly do I need to fucking order to get a decent meal??

>> No.17889574

You just don't like it then. You order pho because it has a complex broth and is served with herbs and lime and sprouts and shit. I guess you like chicken noodle better and that is fine. There is no secret.

See, I'm >>17889571 and every restaurant I've ordered pho from has only given me like 3 strips of dry flavorless chicken. What is this dish because it looks actually edible, the meat looks sauced and properly proportional to the noodles. I've straight up been handed mostly 5 pounds of noodles and a gram of meat with a weird amount of those flavorless crunchy vegetables (forget the name)

Like I don't hate the noodles, but pho is just not done right where I live.

Filename. It has cubes of blood, just a warning.

They do seafood versions. You're expected to add and season the food with the sauce and herbs according to your own taste. Then use it with the broth to make a soup to drink after you've consumed the meat and vegetables. At least that's how it's traditionally consumed.

The pho place I go to sells me their broth on the side if I ask the manager. It's genuinely tasty. I can understand not liking bean sprouts or basil or the other mix-ins, but the broth is excellent. I use it as a base for homemade noodle dishes and soups. Maybe the restaurants you've been to just slack on the broth and use store bought or something.

Just had chicken pho at King and Prussia PA which has loads of Vietnamese. The broth was just about perfect, the chicken was boneless breast and a little under flavored. Still, $12 for a hug bowl of soup that filled me for the rest of the day is a good deal.

Anyone listen to Cumtown? They always talk about pho (pronouncing it the weird but probably correct way like "fah") and comparing it to ramen; usually praising pho and saying ramen is overrated. Personally I agree with OP that I don't "get" pho. But I've had some amazing ramen. Thanks to this thread I will check out bun bo hue that a local place makes.

Yeah, I don't get it, or ramen. I'm just not really into soup, in general, only when it's really cold and snowy out do I even think about eating soup. I eat top ramen packs all the time, but I boil the noodles, strain, toss in a bowl and then I add the seasoning packet and mix it around, so it's more like a pile of salty chicken flavored noodles than soup. I definitely don't understand paying $20 for a bowl of soup, or why this shit is everywhere, even in places that have never seen a Vietnamese or Japanese person. I don't hate pho, I don't think it's disgusting, I just don't get the hype. At least with ramen I can reason that most people eating it are weebs, but I have never heard of a Vietnamboo. Chinaboo, Koreaboo, hell I've met people who are absolutely obsessed with the Philippines even, but I've never heard of anyone but vietnamese people being stoked on Vietnamese things.

Soup and salt noodles are soul food.
Ramen and pho alike.
Even the day is cold and you were extremely hurt inside, a single bowl of warm steamy noodles soup will calm you down and makes your mind clearer.
On the days i do not wanna eat rice or bread, noodles are truly the saviour, it wakes you up instead of make you feel sluggish like most drier food.
The only downside is that noodles dishes will make you hungry really fast

shitty pho is really bad, painfully bad. but if you can find a place with enough vietnamese people there will be an actual market and it won't be bullshit like >>17889571. the beef pho "special" has a couple beef meatballs, a couple bunches of tripe, a few pieces of beef tendon, and a few slices of eye of round. not to mention that the broth has so much beef flavor you can taste the collagen. it's a treat
