Question about pho

Is the broth supposed to be very flavorful? I've only had it at one place and it was just your run of the mill beef broth.

Yes, pretty flavorful.
Sounds like you had soup.
[Seasonings can include Saigon cinnamon or other kinds of cinnamon as alternatives (may use stick or powder), star anise, roasted ginger, roasted onion, black cardamom, coriander seed, fennel seed, and clove. The broth takes several hours to make.]

The broth is the best part. It should be abundant with flavor.

Not to mention the flavor from the beef bones

VERY flavorful.
honestly, if you had just 'run of the mill' broth, then i'm afraid you went to a place that dumbed down its tastes to americans aka white people.
at least that's my experiences with pho restaurants that cater to their main clientele.

That's hugely subjective. Complex rich flavor does not have to be spicy. If you are used to really overseasoned food, yes pho will taste bland. That's why the red rooster sauce is sitting on the table. My wife douses the stuff with that and hoisin, and I eat mine plain.
I doubt that the problem was with the pho, I think it's in your interpretation of bland.

I get my pho from a real victor charlie.
He uses beef, pig, and fish bones to make the base.

I ate at pho bistro in Slidell fwiw. I had a soup in an Asian restaurant on my honeymoon that I figured was pho. Lots of ginger and cinnamon flavor to it. It was brought out complementary by the chef so I didn't catch the name of it. I would have drank that stuff by the gallon. Pho bistro tastes nothing like that. Guess I need to check out a legit pho restaurant

Where at?

10 bucks for slightly flavored water you have to put hot sauce in to spice up

If you're near Slidell check out Ba Mien in New Orleans east. Quite authentic.

Should be well flavored. Usually with basil, lemongrass, onions, peppers, etc

Ba Mien
Best pho around there? When I worked at Michoud we frequented all of them, but I wasn't phoian at the time. Ba Mien seemed like the most authentic place, and Dong Phuong had some awesome birdsnest vermicelli that you'd wrap in lettuce, but we always stop at Pho Bang now for soup. We'll have to stop at Ba Mien next time we pass through. I drive 90 from BSL to the city, so we stop through quite often.

Don't.
Ba Mien pho isn't nearly as good as Pho Bang's. You'll just disappoint yourself.
Now as far as rice dishes, banh uot, or bun bo hue, Ba Mien is the place to go. Hu tieu, fried noodle dishes, and vermicelli dishes(with pork/eggroll) at Dong Phuong. Dong Phuong also makes a very good Korean rib w/ rice plate.

Pho Dahn and Tan Dinh are the two best places for pho that I have encountered in New Orleans.

+1 on Tan Dinh being the best...second is Pho Tau Bay.

I can never eat pho easily. Long noodles + soup = huge mess all over my shirt from splashing noodles. I look like a big idiot when eating it.
I usually go for vermicelli instead.

It is one of my favorite foods. However, I have noticed a "pho trend" going on lately. Thy are starting to pop up all over the place lately. Not that I'm complaining...
