Pho vs Ramen what do you prefer?

Question

I think pho is worlds better in every spectrum. Curious what you think

Answer 1

Definitely pho

Answer 2

Well... Ramen you can make at home.

But for going out... Pho taste better (the soup base), but Ramen (in a Japanese restaurant) has better toppings, not the boiled mystery meat toppings you get in pho.

It's a tough one, but... Overall, I'd pick pho for dining out.

Answer 3

mmmm ... definitely pho!

Answer 4

What is Pho?  I like ramen noodles with veggies and cheese in them.

Answer 5

Salutations,

only had pho once, wasn't that memorable, as I can't even remember if I liked it. So Ramen for me, with Carmelized onions and tofu please! Cheers

Answer 6

PHO

Answer 7

Pho all the way.

With tripe.

Mmm.

Answer 8

I like Pho especially when they serve it with rare steak and you can cook it in the hot broth.  Add some thai basil, bean sprouts, fresh jalapenos, and a squeeze of lime juice, it is delicious!

Answer 9

While I LOVE Pho, ramen has the big advantage to being easily and very cheaply available.

Both are good, but Pho is my favorite

Answer 10

Pho has a depth of flavor that ramen can never reach.  Ramen is something I slurp up if I am hungry and there is nothing else around.  Pho is something I search out it is a destination food.

Answer 11

PHO! Ramen is more like a go-to food when there's nothing else to eat but pho is a TREAT!

Answer 12

I like pho better too.  Mmmmm beef.  I think ramen is too salty and the noodles aren't as good.  

Answer 13

In my opinion, I love them both. Pho and Ramen.

I can agree with you to some point on your Pho which is a bit better (health wise/nutrients effects on the body) The Pho, it is well believed that a very well made Pho is healthier.  It's spice & herb ingredients in it are herbal medicines in many other cultures. Many people believe that a strong Pho where the spices are steeped extra long and in are greater quantity...is good when you feel an illness like a cold or flu coming on. Yes the anise and cinnamon comes through stronger but thats the medicinal stuff. Its basic top garnishes are sliced paper-thin yellow onion, scallions, cilantro, bean sprouts, basil, saw-leaf herb leaves, Thai bird chilies or serrano chili, & lime all again is healthy & medicinal too. Pho is a miracle cure for hangovers.

Ramen I love it too, so many types available its everywhere I keep some in my office for a quick meal, theres instant,  theres also in fresh packaged ones, or go to a good resturant where they make it from scratch its sooo good. So many varities/choices to choose from, theres Soy Sauce, Miso, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Seafood to KimChee & etc. topped with vegetables. It's a meal, yummy.

Love them both.

Answer 14

Pho is really great.  I like all sorts of soupy noodle bowl dishes like that, udon, etc.
