Pho

Finally got a chance to try the mi Quang at banh coun hoa. 3 thumbs up. This dish now tops my Viet noodle soups. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

Sooo much flavors. I normally add extra lime to mine. Glad you like it

 

Really need to try some Pho next time I'm down in Houston. Have a great place about 5 minutes away from me here in Dallas which is pretty nice.

 

Any good places in Austin?

 

Tan My and Pho Dan are my Go-Tos

 

I always went to the one on research next to the Target off 187. They make a pretty good bowl.

 

I decided to seek out this soup, and after discovering there was no Mi Quang Soup in the entire District of Columbia, say what!, I then learned there was a secret Vietnam Community in Eden with over 25 authentic Vietnamese restaurants and bakery. Plus a mega Asian Grocery and Pool Hall. I went. Loved it. Had the flavorful soup, fresh sugar cane juice, and bought several amazing desserts from the Phuoc Loc bakery. Good call. Great soup.

 

I go to Bellaire Blvd for all of my south asian needs. Can't go wrong.

Personally more of a fan of Vietnamese sandwiches.

 

Anyone got any good recipes? My wife is trying to nail Pho, and she's getting better, but she's a white farm-girl from the Midwest, so it's an uphill battle.

 

I get in my car and drive 2 miles

 

Ironically, her Vietnamese friend is two miles from us and offered to teach her how to make Pho. Or is that what you're talking about?

 

I’ve been told by a LOT of people that it’s too hard to make good quality pho in small portions.

 

Does her friend live at Kemah cafe?

 

Hes talking about being in Houston you could spin and point in a direction and no matter what theres always a pho shop only 2 miles away from you.

 

No. From my house I can only go north for pho. Any other direction I’ll hit a meth house.

 

You never had pho in a meth house? Very underrated. Whats funny though is meth in a pho shop, very overrated.
