[fliprayzin240sx]

Haha, damn...you just reminded me of the first thing imma eat when i get back to CA on Sat. Well right after I had a double double...

There's 2 Pho places that I used to go to alot. There's the one in Fairfield that i love cuz they also make fresh strawberry slushie with tapioca in it. Then there's the one in UCD thats really good too.

[Shaminii]

You got me drooling.

[S14TEENZ]

Shaminii wats up? hows da trunk?
that wing on ur pic is now on my car....
yea that stuff is goooood

[TiNMAN]

i literally JUST had some :)


du ma, im full


oh and btw, its probably the MSG that's knockin you the F out

[ronmcdon]

Yeah it is good for the cold weather.
I think good pho is based on good broth.
I don't think its the best soup-noodle dish ever, but it is surprising hard to get sick of.

If your dousing it with a crapload of sauce, it probably means the broth is no good, or you can't really appreciate the basic flavours of the broth. It's like dousing coffee with sugar & creamer. understandable if your drinking 7-11 coffee, but maybe not so much if its good stuff. personally I just like to throw in a few fresh green jalapenos and some mint leaves they give you. Stir it in, and eat immediately. Usually I have it with brisket instead of the sliced beef.

There are a lot of other fun Viet Dishes too. I love the lemon-grass pork chops, egg-loaf thingies, viet curries w/ baguette, and the the bahn xeo (sp?) crepes. 7 styles cooked beef is also interesting.

Out here in socal, i like the Golden Deli in SGV or Brodard in West-Minister.

[florante rea]

pho and bubble thai tea, can't go wrong!

[cc4usmc]

Who wants to send me some homemade pho? Haha, I've never had it but it looks yummy.

you should check out the new-ish place in vacaville near carl's jr. and fitness 19. it's pretty good, i normally went to the one in fairfield but this is so much closer and is just as good. I just went there yesterday.... but now I want some more.

[qwikspool]

mr pho out here in oceanside is good.

when i used to be stationed in va, we used to go to pho 71 alot.

mmmmmm good.

[Flipzide]

damnit. i'd kill for some pho right now. oh and some banh mi :-D

[BustedS13]

hey bros
let's go get some pho, and then some yogurt

[DeadlyZ33]

my gf's parents make insaneeeeee pho like off the charts...
i've had it at several restaurants, one called pho-natic and it doesn't come close to the home made.. just a bunch of hoisen sauce and hot chili sauce and squeeze in some fresh lime. I miss it so much, haven't had some in a while.
and viets are the pho masters, some laos people make pho but its not as good and they put too much stuff in it.

If your eating it without a heineken yer doin' it wrong.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

LOVE pho. I made it once (took forever to make the broth) and it was actually just like the restaurant I always go to; I was quite impressed with myself.

[HalveBlue]

I haven't had Pho in a long time.

My ex's parents used to tell me that the the best pho in the states doesn't even compare to the stuff they have in Viet.

Sucks, but ignorance is bliss. :)

[airsoft]

PHO makes you -----

Smell like it ALL DAY

Makes your nose run for some reason.. AND ITS NOT CUZ OF THE HOT SAUCE!

Pho + sangwich = greatness

[implayaz9]

i used to have in garden grove and they used to be bunch of places where they used to make good.. now in orlando it kinda sucks or may be cause i havent found the right place since i have moved.

[sideways_s14]

nothing like having pho( #1... beef, brisket, tendon, tripe, BIG BOWL) in the morning after a long night partyin', and yacking :p

[inactive_240sx]

oh DAMN! gota go get me some now! yeah this weekend for sure! pho pho pho

mint?

maybe you have it confused with BASIL? :naw:

basil is more common, but some places do offer mint (or at least its a spice that seems to resemble mint or spearmint). although I like basil in maybe other dishes, I don't put any or very little depending on the broth. most pho broth is already sweet. Cilantro can sometimes work very well, depending on your taste.

Playing with the spices/garnishes, and modifying the broth to a certain degree is part of the fun in eating pho.

word up!

i dont see how some people can eat it how it's served

i have a buddy that doesnt add ANYTHING :duh:


anyone else out there that does this?

[Andrew Bohan]

when i go to my local pho spot, i always add a little bit of chunky sriracha, smooth sriracha, and oyster sauce. i'm straight off the pepper paste.

toss in some green shit a few bean sprouts and good to go!

[TiNMAN]

the hell is chunky sriracha??


the stuff that dries up at the tip when people dont close it properly??

:wtf:

[karl wasabi]

the hell is chunky sriracha??


the stuff that dries up at the tip when people dont close it properly??

:wtf:


LOL. It has like big pieces of pepper and pepper seed in it. Tastes a little differnt too. I don't think it's actually sriracha.

I had pho a couple days ago. This thread makes me want some right now. I know there are a couple 24 hour pho places around here, I think in Westminster? I had pho at 2 in the morning. Awesome. =)

Isn't there a place called What The Pho? lol.

[Flipzide]

the chunky one is the same thing as the smooth one except it has garlic and whole chili pepper seeds. they are both the same brand.

i use it mainly for cooking though.

We need to find a place in SoCal next to a late night pho place. That way, we can eat pho at a meet. Woo hoo. haha.

Hoisin? Or are you actually talking about plum sauce? If so, I didn't know they put that in pho...

Hoisin i always call it plum cause of the color haha...

Thanks bro...

There's a 24-hour Pho place in Wesminster. On Bolsa, I think. We used to caravan there after the Wednesday night Irvine meet sometimes.

[Outlaw13]

i love pho im at work and im bout to bounce just so i can go get sum
mmmmmm pho

[NiSilS14]

Pho is always good. I get mine with rare steak, brisket and tendon. I just add about 3 limes and eat. mmm... so good.

[!Zar!]

Rarestake and tripe pho. with HELLA Hoisin sauce and some cock sauce.

YUM.

Oh, and you can't forget about the bean sprouts. Or as I say, Vietnamese french fries.

haha.

[burgy240]

I get Pho fresh once or twice a week from my girlfriends Mom. She makes it all fresh at the house!! mmmmm...throw in some Thai tea w/ boba and I am set!!!

[methodofpayment]

dont get me wrong theres a bunch load of good pho places...:bigok: but imo it doesnt beat homecook/homemade pho

[!Zar!]

Nah.

Homemade pho is cheating.

It's all about the nasty grimy pho place that pours the leftover soup back into the pot.

[Xbroke_kidX]

Just had Pho last night mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummy

[[w]hite[r]abbit[x]]

Pho is the best after a hang over. All the noodles, MSG, and other ingredients in it really revives you back to life. Sriracha, hoisin, and fish sauce! I can eat pho everyday. Shit is bomb. I hear in Vietnam some joints even put doggie meat in it.

[Alpha Residence]

lol I love Pho, theres only a couple spots in NY to get it though and it's no where near as good as it is on the west coast....one of the many great things I miss about cali.

[Andrew Bohan]

my roommate makes hella laotian style pho at the house (she's from laos)

little bit different from vietnamese pho but still hella good.

[DUFFM4N]

so mad that the ONLY pho spot by my work went outta business as of yesterday (when i noticed)...i had just ate there last week too, so i was real heartbroken...hit up this spot out in Moreno Valley on Sunnymead with Bardabe today, the super bowls were HUGE! and only $6.95

pretty bomb

[karl wasabi]

There's a 24-hour Pho place in Wesminster. On Bolsa, I think. We used to caravan there after the Wednesday night Irvine meet sometimes.

Yup, that's the exact one that I went to when I was visiting my GF in Irvine.

Man, I'll have to try that 24 hour western place. =)

I get the brisket, tendon, and tripe. Gotta have all the funky bits or it doesn't feel legit.

If you haven't tried pho before, what do you guys think a good first time pho would be?

[FaLKoN240]

I'm so hungry I could eat pho right now.

Only reason I say that is because this shit ain't my favorite.

[karl wasabi]

Awesome...I had pho at 4 in the morning after a pretty cool party. Man it just warms you up and makes you feel so good. =)

Nothing like a big ass bowl of pho at 4am to help your drunken ass sober up for the drive home. lol

[BustedS13]

i should just go ahead and open up a pho restaurant in the trendy part of town, since everybody's going gay for pho on the west coast. i'd rake it in, there's like three pho places in STL and none of them have a funny name i stole from a photoshop on zilvia.

somebody ship me some vietnamese dudes.

Do you have California envy?

ALL you ever post about when it comes to this state is how pathetic it is and how it's gay this and how we can't do that.

You've YET to post how eating pho means one is homosexual.

Not to mention a majority of the people on this board are in california.

It's only natural for a majority of the board to like pho.

You are only going to find Asian food like this on the coasts.

Why?

Because when Asians immigrated, California and New York were two major places to enter the states.

So it's only natural to have that type of cooking out here.

So please think for a minute and come back with an educated response.

I'll ask you AGAIN just in case you just so, "happened" to miss my question.

How does Vietnamese soup correlate to being homosexual?

[SochBAT]

Its good as FUCK, but an hour later, i'm hungry again.

One can not truly appreciate pho until they are drunk and just leaving a club/bar.

[stiizy]

Going to get some Pho after work i can't wait...

[motegineon]

funny i stumbled on this thread, me and some car buddies have been hittin up pho atleast once a week for the past 2 months now

its amazing, as a matter of fact were headin there in about an hour!

good stuff!

[WanganRunner]

I love Pho.

I love Banh Mi even more.

Vietnamese food is the fucking truth. I spent a week over there, and now that the company I work for is developing a few luxo resorts there, I'm probably going to be back soon for maybe a month. Vietnam and Cambodia are both amazing to visit.

[speedgod^s13]

I love pho, and when I do eat it, I have to have me a iced coffee to go with it. I add lemon juice, onions, bean sprouts, a shitload of basil, hoisin sauce, and half the bottle of cock sauce. I gotta ask for extra napkins, because the soup is so atomic!!! I always get the raw beef, with beef balls, and EXTRA tendons. I freakin love tendons. It's ironic that I saw this thread, because my mom is bringing home pho today!!! Being half Vietnamese, i've been eating pho all of my life. I love Vietnamese food in general, and it's something you just can't get tired of.

[ESmorz]

I've never had Pho...

me either :-( looks yummy

[speedgod^s13]

You guys are missing out. It's not for everyone, but if you like it, you end up LOVING it. On top of that, it's actually a healthy dish. It doesn't need MSG to taste good, so don't believe the hype. Had to post up pics of my dinner :p Second pic, is so you can compare the bowl height, to a pair of bamboo chopsticks. That's right bitches, this puts the airplane bowl of pho to shame!!! For those that don't know, the largest bowl served at a lot of these establishments, is called the airplane bowl.

You mean Pho Hua on Bolsa? Next to Rockin' Crawfish? That place is the shit, it's one of the healthy pho places too.

I used to go there all the time until I found out about Pho Vinh Ky, on Brookhurst. 50% off any pho bowl anytime. Nothing beats $3 pho.

[TiNMAN]

oh shit

$3 pho?!


:love:

[ALTRNTV]

Whenever I go there, I always get a large #1 and Thai tea. It comes out to like $5. Can't beat that price.

the one i went to on bolsa was in the same shopping center as boiling crab and right across from lee's.

and yeah, healthy is not the word you describe that place when referring it to a friend/randoms.

its one of those old neighborhood joints where no matter what letter grade they get, people will still go and chow down.

[!Zar!]

Damn... Just a regular bowl comes out to like $5.75 before tax/tip.

yup... i paid $6.99 after tax yesterday at the place near my house..

According to BustedS13 only homosexuals from California have phó.

[SHIFT_*grind*]

So I was watching Anthony Bourdain's show and apparently it's pronounced "fuh." I never knew.

[mothon]

Majority of my friends are viet and four of them own pho restaurants pho hoa, pho 2000, noodle house, and pho-nominal. Im kind of a wuss when it comes to eating pho though i only eat the ga. If i had my own it would be named pho-sho, pho-Q, or pho-king.

Are there any Vietnamese Restaurant out your way?!?! I mean, I know Murrieta and Temecula blew the fuck up after I left but last time I rolled thru there (2009 ish) still didnt seem like Pho would be something you can find there. Hell, there was only one decent Thai Restaurant out there.

Pho, you cant go wrong with it after a long night of drinking. Until I find an authentic Tonkotsu Ramen anywhere in the US, Pho is on top of my noodle soup list.

And for everybody who keeps saying brown sauce...its fucking Hoisin Sauce!!!

[!Zar!]

I love hoisin sauce. That is one of those bottles that I will always have on hand.

Speaking of pho, a Pho Garden opened up a mile away from my house. Finally a decent pho restaurant in my area without having to drive to SF.

There's a place I like to go to off Murrieta hot springs right by the 7-11 and they have good service. I know of a few others, one off Winchester near the bevmo and another off Los alamos near the sushi restaurant.

Lol and that's right about the hoisin sauce the name just slipped my mind and was too lazy to go searching for the name

[ronmcdon]

wow, haven't eaten this in years.

I actually don't care for the srichara or hoisin in pho.
If done right, the broth is the best part of pho but works on a more delicate level.
heavier sauces tend to overpower it.
now the herb blend, like basil, cilantro, mint (maybe) I think work well with it.

wish i was back in socal right now for pho w/ brisket
one of the best foods to have in chilly day imo.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So far, I've found 2 good place for Pho out here in Hampton Roads. I like my Pho with lots of Hoisin and cock sauce (Sriracha bitches, Sriracha!!!). Get a small dipping bowl on the side, mix in a quarter amount of Sriracha and 3/4 Hoisin, dip your meat in it. I should have gotten some yesterday when it was 40 degrees out...

[WanganRunner]

Vietnamese friend of mine runs a Pho shop down the street and it's the business.

Haven't been in awhile though, I think it's probably about time.

Better than the real shiznit in Japan?!?! We had this Tonkotsu Ramen place in Okinawa called Tondou Ramen. I fucking love that place. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with Chashu, mushroom, seaweed and softboiled egg. Drop in some more spice and add some fresh crushed seasoned garlic in soy sauce and mirin. When you finish the noodle, you can get another ball of ramen (kaidama) for $1.50.

[JDM1k3]

how much?? could be a nice xmas gift for me :p

[SHIFT_*grind*]

Rare steak, marble brisket, flank, DEFINITELY meatball, green onions, basil, hoisin, and enough sriracha to *almost* make my eyes water, but not quite.

I've had it with tripe several times but just can't get down with it.

Have tried it without sriracha to let more of the subtle flavors of the broth come through, but I love spicy food too much to do that regularly.

Which 2 places? I like Pho 78 by Holland and S Plaza in VB, in Timberlake shopping center.

[95KA-Turbo]

Saigon #1 on the corner of Newtown and Virginia Beach Blvd is the best I've had so far. Pho 78 was alright, but the broth at Saigon is much better. I've eaten at one other place I can't remember the name though, it also paled in comparison to Saigon.

I get the #80 there, its flank, tendon, tripe, and meat ball. I prefer adding basil, lime, sambal, and hoisin sauce, the soup is good enough to eat how it comes though.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I <3 ramen, was at ippudo in ny a few weeks ago. mmm tonkotsu ramen is amazing

If anything is legit ramen in the states, it would be that place. Buddy of mine in Japan sent me fresh ramen kit made by Ippudo and that shit is just as on point as the real shit. Just had to make my own cut up pork loin and fresh garlic. The box came with fresh ramen (not that hydrated shit), pickled veggies, dried seaweed, soup concentrate. Man, I want some now...if I wasnt so fucking far away from NYC, I'd drive my ass out there now.

Yah, not everybody will like tripe. Its definitely one of those acquired tastes thing.

But yah, we got Pho 78 this side of the peninsula and I found this lil hole in the wall place by James River Bridge called Jimmy's. Their broth may just be a tad bit better than Pho 78. No clue if Pho 78 makes the same exact brought between their 2 stores, I have never been to 2 pho place and have the same tasting broth. Its always different everywhere I go.

Nobody will care if you use a fork, most use chopsticks though.

I think most Pho newbies go for either the Pho Tai (rare steak) or Pho Ga (chicken). If you're more adventurous then get the tendon and tripe, really good stuff.

Pho aside, does anyone else here like Bun Bo Hue? Been eating a lot of Bun Bo Hue and Bun Rieu lately instead of my usual Pho.

[theicecreamdan]

I like the tripe, but the tendon wasn't very enjoyable to me.

I'll be getting some in about an hour. yum

[rcdad123]

how about egg noodle soup? me and my friends and family love Min Ky noodle house on the corner of Menlo and El Cajon blvd. across the street from Pho King in San Diego. number 14, roast pork egg noodle soup. also don`t forget the preserved green papaya slices, so freakin good.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Totally worth the trouble. Especially when you can tweak it to what you like. It's great to make with friends, just make the stock and have a bunch of stuff on a platter for people to add to their soup!

Naw man. They will boot you out of the place for asking for a fork. Don't forget to take off your shoes before you walk in too.

^He's joking...and it was mildly racist too.


There was another question about what they put in the broth. It's usually and onion, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, coriander, and maybe a couple other things. Depends on who you talk to. Just make sure you roast the spices in an oven on Broil for a bit before you throw it in the pot. I've found it makes it taste much better. And the instant bullion sucks. I was lazy and tried one time and it just didn't have the hearty taste you want from a soup. Not the way to go.

EDIT: I forgot to ask! Where do you get tendon?! I've never looked but I miss it in my pho. I love tripe too and back home I used to get both at the local Asian Market. None of the ones here seem to have it, unless I'm just not recognizing it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I've made pho at home before and used a pre-made soup mix concentrate. This one is pretty much on point honestly.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pX%2BibDSoL.jpg

Buy some short ribs for more flavor, flank steak for the meat. Boil the meat in water to blanche it and get the fat out. Dump the water, throw in some fresh one and throw in the seasoning above. I like to use pressure cookers, 45 mins with it and the meat will be soft as heck.

Throw in some of these when you have serve the soup...

It's just generally a product of the French colonial influence in Vietnam. The Banh Mi would not otherwise exist and the pork liver pate would surely not be an ingredient had the French not been there. Granted, the bread and pate and really all of it have changed over time, and change daily depending on where you're eating one.

[Daniel.]

Usually called Mi.

The broth is an onion and chicken based broth, vs the beef bone and onion based broth in Pho.

Mi = Egg noodles.

Hu Tieu = Rice noodles in chicken broth. Sometimes mixed with Mi.

Personally I prefer some types of Mi over Pho.

[1on1]

^sadly, this is true.

[Ineedastarter]

Good luck. It takes forever to make good Pho broth.

I'm an experienced grillardin, with a background as a Saucier so I had a class with a Vietnamese chef in culinary art school, however, all I could get out of her was... 'yes, I use ox tails, beef shanks, star anise, and cinnamon on a slow boil and occasionally skim.'

She wouldn't release more info, so I told her I was going to use kombu instead of cold water for my stock, thus creating a basic dashi for my stock for an 'extra' umami taste--mainly to throw her off into divulging more details, since with all the added ingredients even the most sensitive palate could hardly tell it was there. No dice.

I'm starting to believe Pho recipes are actually 20th century Soviet-KGB State Secrets or a map to buried French gold encoded in some vietcong dialect.

I suppose its like ramen stock, some people spend an entire lifetime refining it to their version of near perfection, so I can sympathize with their aloof nature, but its their version of a Swiss cartel; it seems like they're afraid of competition, and will use protectionist methods and a poor demeanor to fend off any potential onlookers.

I've seen the basic components on enough recipes, and even with them in mind and in my best attempts I only get to about ~80% satisfaction rate, which during a Norwegian winter I find its good enough. So, I guess this SoCal native is just going to have to come home, or ideally Vietnam, for a proper bowl of pho, huh?

I usually find this interesting because I have asked my friend's mom on how to make the broth and she gave me all the ingredients but not a how-to-guide. I think it's because they're used to keeping the family recipe within family. IIRC, you simmer and take out the excess fat but there's a certain temperature on how to do this.

God, I am craving pho now and places in San Diego sucks compared to the ones in San Jose...

I'm an experienced grillardin, with a background as a Saucier so I had a class with a Vietnamese chef in culinary art school, however, all I could get out of her was... 'yes, I use ox tails, beef shanks, star anise, and cinnamon on a slow boil and occasionally skim.'

She wouldn't release more info, so I told her I was going to use kombu instead of cold water for my stock, thus creating a basic dashi for my stock for an 'extra' umami taste--mainly to throw her off into divulging more details, since with all the added ingredients even the most sensitive palate could hardly tell it was there. No dice.

I'm starting to believe Pho recipes are actually 20th century Soviet-KGB State Secrets or a map to buried French gold encoded in some vietcong dialect.

I suppose its like ramen stock, some people spend an entire lifetime refining it to their version of near perfection, so I can sympathize with their aloof nature, but its their version of a Swiss cartel; it seems like they're afraid of competition, and will use protectionist methods and a poor demeanor to fend off any potential onlookers.

I've seen the basic components on enough recipes, and even with them in mind and in my best attempts I only get to about ~80% satisfaction rate, which during a Norwegian winter I find its good enough. So, I guess this SoCal native is just going to have to come home, or ideally Vietnam, for a proper bowl of pho, huh?

The short answer to all of that? Yes. :w00t:





:bowrofl:




Your post made me chuckle. Why? Despite what perceptions you may have that Pho recipies are akin to the closely guarded secrets of the Soviet era KGB (I'll ignore the obvious communism joke here har har), it really is that simple. Oh and onions. Lots of onions. Make it with love.

Whose got their grandmothers recipes they want to share?

I have about 8 pounds of ox tails and beef feet (respectively) and I just saw this thread. I was going to use it for ossobuco and demi-glace/general stock but now I'm intrigued as I haven't had a bowl since NYE.

I've made it using this:

That, with some short ribs, extra onions and garlic...you got a good start with it. Its better than some restaurants I've had pho at in Norcal.

^Awesome.

And yes the broth does take forever to make. It is that simple. Toast your spices, onion, and ginger before putting it in the broth.

Had some yesterday. Really like ordering the raw meat separately and letting it semi cook.
Really wanna try the homemade stuff.
