Got Pho today, didn't like it. It was take-out and every ingredient was separated. Tried putting it all together and I'd give it a 4/10. The broth was awful. Maybe it's because it was cheap, but I like other cheap Asian foods. Am I missing something?
Anyway, are there other decent Vietnamese foods available that I should try? There's a decent amount of Vietnamese restaurants around here that I could try.
I've never had pickled anything, so I'll look into it.
If you can get over crunch as a texture, pickling anything improves it remarkably. You can try it yourself too, take any vegetable, cut it into snack sized pieces, and put it in a dish with vinegar and a little salt for 30+ minutes. I really like pickled onion and pickled radish, the radish is mostly just crunchy tangyness at that point
