Mai’s List of Pho
Because I can’t make a post out of each and every single bowl of pho I’ve eaten, I’ll make a post about all bowls of pho I’ve eaten.
A perfect score (20/20) means “good noodle (4), good broth (4), good meat (4), big portion (2), low price (2), fast service (2), nice/modern setting (2)”. One bonus point for interesting things. The veggies are not taken into account because: 1. I don’t put veggies in my pho and 2. for the bowls I’ve eaten too long ago, I can’t remember what the veggie plate was like.
By “nice/modern setting”, I mean it’s not plastic-chair casual food court kind of place, the decor, spacing and lighting obviously have an effect.
