Start slow, stick to the Pho Tai basically a fragrent beef broth with rice noodles and slices of steak (usuall round steak). You can also sometimes get flank (or better yet fatty flank) and combos. Stay away from tendon, meatballs, tripe unless you otherwise like that. Add the fresh herbs, squeeze of lime that come with it, some chilli sauce and enjoy. In the BA your options food GOOD pho are limitless man. Get out and eat some!

Heh I remember when I first got pho. I ordered the special. Which had brisket, tripe, tendon, and fish meatball. I ate it with gusto.

All the AZ guys, the best pho in the Phoenix area is at Phu Than in Mesa off of Southern and Extension. If you do give it a try, be sure to stop by Habanos Torres for a cigar.

Just had my first Pho experience the other day due in large part to this thread. I had steak and meatballs.

It was delicious! I kept trying different combos of sprouts, herbs, peppers, noodles and sauces. Can anyone tell me what the dark brown sauce was? It had kind of a smoky, bbq like taste.

I'm now a Pho-fan!

So, I finally got the basic recipe for pho from my Vietnamese friend and today I'm going grocery shopping for the essentials. Tomorrow morning, I start making my first pot of pho.

Wish me luck.

You can always do it the cheap way too...
Beef broth in a can..
thinly sliced meat
sriracha sauce
Pho noodles

Not as good as boiling beef bones 24+ hours but it'll hit the spot!

I'm gonna simmer it for about 10 hours. I may be patient, but I'm not *that* patient.

Plus, I got an awesome tip of just freezing the broth and thawing/heating what I need later on.

Well, almost there forgot one thing.

The noodles.

How the **** did I forget that?! Here I am, unpacking everything from the grocery bags and then I notice my omission. Now I'm going to have to go back across town to Beaverton to pick some up.
