Pho vs Ramen - which do you like best?

I’m gonna scream “ I want some PHO (low to high tonal accent), bitches” next time I’m in a Vietnamese joint and sit back for the applause from the perfect pronunciation…

You might want to test this approach inside a massage parlor first.

I love Pho. We have a Pho house near us that does an amazing job. I prefer the beef but the chicken is awesome as well. I'll add an amusing Asian restaurant sign I found in my travels (Cooperstown, NY)

Why are you ramen this pho’ken question down our throats on a Thursday night? It’s not even Friday!

Who’s going to tell him?

Lol. It’s funny the tricks your mind can play on you once committed to your Friday off. 

There is a Pho King where I live, played well

It’s “ Fuh like Duh” not pho like go

My understanding is that there’s actually two syllables in that word as it has a rising tone at the end - so it’s

fuh-uh

This is the way.

For some reason, maybe the fresh herbs/rice noodles, etc Pho is more of a warmer month item for me and ramen is colder, rainier months. Jinya Ramen has a former menu item that went off menu (probably to drive demand because they like to tell you it’s off menu) called the Cha Cha Cha that is garlic and pork to the extreme. It’s on the short list with maybe a dozen other foods worthy of sneaking away by myself to sit at the bar and enjoy undistracted.  I hope you find a few in your new proximity. 

Jinya spring time late lunch. I broke the egg for the pic. Cha cha cha indeed.

There's a Jinya Ramen not far from work. I'll drop in sometime and see if they still have this.

Jinya is a solid chain I’ve had them in UT, CA, and last week Georgia.  I always add some extra pork and an egg.  Dang it now I want jinya 😆

Ramen - you can fry it. Hard to fry pho.

When you cook the ramen, use only half the liquid. Then you can fry the ramen and add whatever veggies and protein you want and sauce to choice.
