Pho

/thread

Though its kinda hot for pho

Where are you going? That kinda determines what I'll order.

If I'm at Tan Dinh, I'm getting Lemongrass wings.

If I'm at Lily's I'm getting either Spicy Shrimp Pho, or Grilled Pork Vermicelli.

Bahn xeo....a savory crepe, studded w/bean sprouts, shrimp, pork, green onions, etc.

Since it’s already so hot outside, try goi ga, the shredded cabbage & carrot salad with shredded chicken. It’s usually garnished w/fresh herbs like holy basil, maybe mint, chopped peanuts, crispy shallots, with a light, tangy dressing laced w/chili peppers.

I really like grilled pork spring rolls

Ate at Pho Bang on the westbank recently. Got some kind of noodle dish. It was good, but the Vietnamese Egg Rolls they served with it were so good, my buddy and I ordered another order of them after the fact.

My go to:

- Vietnamese iced coffee made with cafe du monde
- order of spring rolls - don't much care what's in them
- bun vermicelli with pork and chopped eggroll doused in fish oil and the red hot pepper container with all the pepper seeds in it
- if I skip the bun I go for the rare beef pho with plenty of mint leaves and sprouts



If I'm getting it to go I'll ask for a double meat pork bahn mi with extra jalapenos.



Damn now I'm hungry

Combo beef pho is my go to. But don't be afraid to try out some grilled meat dishes either. Shrimp vermicelli bowl is also good. Non-fried spring rolls.

Vermicelli bowl. Pick the pork if it's grilled

My favorite is the char grilled pork with egg rolls and a fried egg

For rice dishes I like the same but with the bone in pork chop

Pho Tai
Banh Mi
Roast pork spring rolls

I swear I’m the only person who doesn’t care for pho.

It isn't often I feel like eating a bowl of soup the size of my head, either. Love all other Vietnamese dishes that I have tried.
