i havent eaten it in so long because i've been trying to eat healthy foods lately and i can never find nutritional values from any place on their pho dishes. in my own head, i think the sodium level in even a small bowl is pretty high and the noodles themselves are white just like italian pasta or white bread. isn't white noodles, breads, pasta, etc really bad for you? i wish there was some sort of whole wheat noodle pho with low sodium or something. | ||

The noodles that are used in Pho are made with rice flour (which is gluten-free btw), hence the white color. Bread and pasta use wheat flour. So I don't think Pho noodles would be grouped with white bread and pasta. Though, in the end, they are all grains/carbs. That being said, a bowl of Pho still contains a good amount of fat and salt (MSG), like you said. On top of that, you have the Hoisin, Sriracha, and Nuoc Mam that is usually added into the Pho. So, while the noodles in a bowl of Pho probably aren't too terribly threatening, you still have the rest of the bowl of Pho to worry about, if you're trying to eat healthy. | ||

If you put it like that, everything that eatable is not healthy beside..vegetables O_O. Actually, one reason why Pho is so much more popular than other awesome Vietnamese noodle is because it contain very little fat. One rule in making Pho is NO FAT allow in the making of broch. Pho is the least fat you can get from anything than related to noodle. | ||

Pho is the least fat you can get from anything than related to noodle. Actually... You're right. My bad for putting out some wrong information. I forget that the broth is made almost entirely, if not exclusively, from bones (called a bone broth, or a gelatin broth).The glistening globules that appear on the surface of the broth come from the gelatin in the bone marrow, rather than fat. Thanks for clearing that up! | ||

The service is awesome, pho tastes great, and the eggrolls own! I must try this Pho Cow Cali place you all from SD are talking about haha. hahaha yeah man pho cow cali is mad good. Pho T Cali is excellent as well, they redesigned their place a few years ago and its really nice now. At Cadao, i feel they don't fill their bowls as well. Cow Cali tastes better and has a bigger size bowl. But the broken rice dishes at cadao are really good, they have the lemon-pork that probably isn't standard vietnamese cuisine but it's still really tasty | ||

I lived in Stockton for 5 years, and the best pho there is either Pho Lucky or Mama's Pho. | ||

Warning though, it's hell-a dirty (there are cleaner pho places). But the times i've been there at varying hours, it has always been packed (that's why it's so dirty). You know it's good cause you see quite a few Foreigners there too, toughing out the dirty'ness for their Pho. Highly recommended, though maybe after you acclimatise yourself to Vietnam. EDIT: forgot to say it's in Ho chi minh City. EDIT3 : Forgot to mention I had 3 bowls before my flight out of there =[ | ||

If anyone has any other recommend in NYC I'll probably try them out. I love pho, though i'm not very adventurous when it comes to tendons and stuff. I just can't escape my American roots. Edit: And if anyone knows of a place with good Pho and Vietnamese sandwiches that would be awesome, nothing warms my heart like a big bowl of Pho and a nice Banh Mi or whatever the various other sandwiches are called. hi5. In china town, there are like 2 really good sandwich shops. 1 is like really hard to find but the other is rather noticeable (has a lot of sandwich pictures on the mirror idr remember the prices though) | ||
