So here's the deal. I don't like pho in general. It's a pretty bland food. I'm more of a spicy beef soup/stew kind of guy. The pho sate though, it actually has flavor. Finally something in the broth that can jump up and say "What up! I got flavor!" It's obviously not the most authentic way to make it, but I don't care when it tastes better. Pho is a good meal to fill you up when you down the broth with it. Just watch your sodium intake. Side note: They actually know how to cook their beef tendon.
