Pho is usually served very hot, so the meat cooks almost instantly. I don't know anyone that actually eats it raw lol. I also don't see how it looks revolting, its just broth, noodles, and meat for the most part.

Also, have people never eaten things like beef/steak tartae? There is a method of eating the Tai (raw thin sliced beef) without cooking it, it's just up to the users preference. Do you not eat your steaks medium rare? These reactions are just mindblowing. Love my Pho, and will always love my Pho. excellent thread.

To eat Pho properly, the boiling simmering broth will cook the "raw" meat to a perfect well-done. I usually move the meat under the noodles and take 2-3 spoonfuls of the broth, and by then the meat is cooked.

I guess we all have our preferences.

My favorite places are Tan My in Austin TX, BunBo Hue An Nam in San Jose CA, and a place in Las Vegas which I cannot remember the name of.
I get the Steak + Tripe at all three of these places.
word up man, haha but i prefer Brisket instead of Tripe XD
In Las Vegas, i went to this place called Pho So 1, it was really good

Does anyone have any experience with making Pho at home? I love Pho but there aren't any places around me since I've moved T_T Hey man, do you want me to make a guide =) A thousand times yes. Pho is so cheap and easy to obtain at restaurants that it's almost pointless to make it at home. A Vietnamese lady who used to cut my hair said that any viet restaurant that's worthwhile boils down bones for 24+ hours to make the broth. So unless you have a lot of spare time, and want to spend $15 bucks or more on raw ingredients, I'd just try to find some that's local. Don't get me wrong, I'd still love to see some recipes!
Yes, it does take quite a bit, but the thing is you make at least a week's worth of broth for just yourself!
You can merely heat up the broth anytime you want to eat it, and then you can eat it everyday for every meal! haha

Is it just where I'm living in or does Pho cost more than 6 dollars nowadays?
Yeah, mostly a large costs around 6.35 here in San Diego D:
Used to be 5$ </3 damn economy!
I hear its waaay cheaper in vietnam though, im definitely going there one day :D

Mekong in flushing is good, but their service is ass shit.
Still worth going cause you get exactly what you pay for. Good food, and none of the cost wasted in servicing you apparently.
|
phoenix area - "Unphogettable" is the best. I also love their fresh spring rolls! Also "Blue Moon" has good pho for about 4 bucks. (they are located close to unphogettable and have 1/2 off pho special almost every day).

o man. if you're in the bay area, check out slanted door / out the door. non-traditional vietnamese but phenomenal pho and great atmosphere

The meat cooks in the broth and with it being slightly raw it also makes the meat more soft and tender as well. Eating a steak is probably more of a hazard than raw beef in Pho.

There's way too many pho restaurants and home made pho I've had to remember them all...but usually pho tai chin or some variation is my favorite.

Y'all should get tripe next time you get pho. It's definitely an acquired taste, but the texture is just so fun to eat!

Las Vegas has a surprisingly good selection of places to get pho. They're a bit out of the way if you're staying on the strip, but it's still very convenient because I'm always super drunk or hungover while I'm there. Quick cab ride and you'll be eating like a king.

Lucky Pho doesn't taste as authentic to me D:
Also, their service isn't as good and their eggrolls aren't as good as cow cali

The joke has been made here about "pho-king" but in Shanghai (among other places) there is a location of this restaurant that is actually called "Pho King." Go figure.
|
I've always thought Pho sounds delicious but unfortunately I just can't seem to find it in Florida. Sad for me  I'll just keep reading and wishing.
|
In Olympia Washington there is a place that makes pho, apparently it is a chain, but they have a menu of some 80 combinations varying from rice, noodles, long noodles, short noodles, chicken, meatballs, beef, and vegetarian options, and they serve it with a big plate of vegetables on the side. I like getting beef pho and adding in plum sauce and cock sauce (sricha?) with serano peppers and lots of basil. Delicious.

has anyone tried pho sate? Regular pho is already awesome but pho sate is like on another level. It's just regular pho but with this extra chili sauce that once you put it in, it completely changes the broth for the better.
