    My mom’s pho is a soup that’s cooked overnight while my dad’s pho is a morning’s work that’s ready for lunch. Grandma’s is a whole day process… honestly I could never tell the difference in taste from the three of them, but they would always blame each other for ‘messing up’ pho…

      As someone who had their family cook overnight and occasionally sometimes just in the morning. The flavor was consistent, it more so narrowed down to the meat and the texture it takes on. I don't eat meat anymore, but when I did, I preferred the meat that cooked overnight. It just sort melted in your mouth. There would be a roast that cooked in the broth over night with some ox tail and seasoning, and then when we served the food we also had fresh thinnly sliced steak that would have the broth poured over the top to cook. I never cared for that part the text just wasn't my thing, but that roast was gold, and it always to me was better when cooked overnight. I know not everyone cooks it this way and honestly for the most part there's no real wrong way to cook phó, there are several different types, however there are certainly things that do make the experience a mouthgasm. What I mean is there is a difference in how Thai, Lao, and even Vietnamese people make their phó and in their own ways it's all very tasty! I've learn to appreciate things for what they are and not just how I want them to be, there's a beauty within it. As far as that situation, what really matters is that no matter who made it, they took time out their day to do so and that it made a tasty meal, evennif it wasn't to the preference of the other.

    The assessment at the end is accurate I think. Pho is better for daily eating and for the Vietnamese palate, Japanese ramen is a bit too heavy and salty. We tend to prefer lighter flavors, and most Vietnamese dishes are full of herbs too. Pho is nourishing and refreshing. As a Vietnamese I do like ramen every so often but pho fits our palate better.

      It depends on the ramen, there is only rlly one way to make pho, fundamentally, but ramen's broth is rlly easy to change, Josh simply done one of the most normal and liked which is pork bone broth, ramen can easily be rlly light

    Definitely Pho for me. My absolute favorite thing about Pho is that it precisely nails every angle of the flavor pallet and can be catered to your preference with sugar salt spices and veggies So savory, like he said, in a healing kind of way. Smooth. The noodles are like glass, so light and just get coated in that all that flavor like they’re wearing all wearing winter coats of 4-24 hour cooked broth. Generous delicious thin slices of meat. Or chicken or shellfish. But traditionally meat! ANDDD my favorite part, it NEVER upsets the stomach. If anything it soothes it. A satisfying full. Not heavy and waddling out of the resturaunt. So full, so satisfied. SO MUCH clean beautiful perfect flavor. SO aromatic without heavy rich thick broth.
    I’m Italian and grew up eating that way. But classic American Jersey style Italian food is so hard on my stomach I never eat it now even though it’s all I ate growing up. I have IBS and heavy greasy foods and gluten turn my stomach upside down. Ramen is phenomenal as well but as my taste developed into my late teens and adulthood, I always go for the more clean concise flavors. My roommate leans toward fats so he would definitely go Ramen. Also I’m not a big pork fan. Definitely enjoy the aromatics and more precise flavors in the Vietnamese pho. Damn I need a bowl now…

      I am Vietnamese, I used to like ramen but now I am realizing, it's very one dimensional and your palette just gets tired after a while. So I am agreeing with you. As I get older, I also like more layered flavours so that every bite is different. Pho hits all angles, sweet, savoury, sour, spicy, freshness, crunch, tenderness of noodles, meaty, beefy. When you are done. It's a very different type of feeling of satisfaction. Not like the satisfaction of finishing a tub of ice cream and hating yourself for being a pig.

    As a Vietnamese myself, i would say both of the Pho and the Ramen noodles are winners. They all have their own unique taste, their own beauty, and their own way to stand out. I made Pho at home quite often with my mom, and made Shoyu Ramen by myself as often as Pho. They are like two of the pillars of the noodle world. So both of them are winners are fair in my opinion.

      @@NhiepKen agree, I believe the origin of Pho was meant to be served as breakfast. Since Pho was first appeared in the North of Viet Nam, people used to eat it in the morning with a kind of slogan which was “nothing could chase the early morning’s cold away better than a hot bowl of Pho noodle”. Traditional Pho has to be prepared and cooked in a long time, mostly people let the bone broth cooked overnight and have it ready to serve in the early morning. So yeah, as a Vietnamese myself (though I’m from the center of Viet Nam, not from the North nor South) I believe Pho was originally a breakfast meal. Sorry for my bad English guys

    @CurtisPi 7 месяцев назад +31

    I used to work at a pho restaurant, and I'd like to clarify the traditional method of making pho. To achieve a clear and light broth, bones are simmered for hours. Seasonings and flavors are introduced to the broth about half an hour before serving. If you slow-cook the broth with sugar and herbs, it can result in a darker broth, which is often the case when you order pho late at night in a restaurant.

    I never had ramen so I can't comment on that but how Joshua described phở is exactly how I see it being consumed: daily as breakfast. So that description he said make sense to me. Of course there're high-end phở that you have once a month on your salary day but there're also many normal phở that's very good and doesn't cost a fortune...

    Pho is something I can enjoy everyday, especially when my mom would make a huge pot of it. It doesn’t get old, and the mixture of flavors. Salty, sweet, spicy, beefy with delicious oxtails 😮‍💨. Ramen is something I can enjoy once every 2 weeks because of how consistent and heavy the flavor is. When you have too much of one flavor it slowly doesn’t become as enjoyable as your finishing your bowl.

My cultural heritage is in Laos and we have other noodle soup dishes like boat noodle kaosoy or kaopoon but for me, pho usually always has a very clean taste and almost seems to refuel you with electrolytes.

    The Pho needs some sliced green onion to give more flavour to the whole bowl, you don't need to add it all the time depend on if you like it or not, but Pho will taste much better with green onion. In Vietnam, the Northern people usually serves Pho with a small bowl of poached eggs topping with some green onion or "bánh quẩy". The Southern people don't but they add basil and "spiked coriander". The bone you used to cook the broth can also be added to the bowl, both version taste delicious
