Here in Irvine, it's probably $6-7 for a bowl of Pho or Bun Thit Nuong Cha Gio. But back in San Gabriel/Alhambra/Westminister it's $4.50-$4.75!

U vinh na me boi?

Here in Ohio it's like $8 and they don't even give you that much Pho compared to cheaper places in like, say, Chicago's Chinatown. Oh, and they don't give you the raw veggies like bean sprouts for soaking in the broth either. I hate Ohio :(

Westminster is the place for good (and inexpensive) pho, but I only get good service and respect if I go with my Vietnamese friend! Otherwise, I'm just another outsider/white guy.

There's one in Garden Grove that's very cheap. $3.75 for a large bowl. Everything else is cheap too. The most expensive thing (diced beef with rice) is only $5.75 when it costs around $7-8 at other Pho places.

Or as I like to call it "a number 75." I've been on a Vietnamese food kick lately. I get thin grilled pork, egg roll on vermacelli with some sweet sauce (fish sauce?) Is PHO vietnamese food in general or the noodle soup?

Pho is the noodle soup. What you order is bun thit nuong cha gio, which is the best vietnamese dish ever imo. Although the one with shrimp paste is a close second.

Your response assumes that I did something to someone and that I should be paid back. I did not.
Your response is ignorant, prejudiced and offensive.
