For your information, we are both foodies and also well-traveled. If you re-read my original comments, I never said or implied that Pho 24 was the end all of gastronomy. I simply indicated that the soup there was “far superior” to the soup we had with the Lunch Lady.

You should work on your reading comprehension also as I never called what we ate at the Lunch Lady’s stall as “pho”. I correctly called it “soup”. However, as I stated, it was not bad tasting – just not as amazing as everyone else on this page claims it to be.

And as for my wife’s stomach issues, it was COMPLETELY because of her soup. One doesn’t have to be a genius to realize that if one starts getting violently ill with stomach cramping and pain shortly after eating her soup, that’s what most likely caused it. You weren’t there. We were and we know the truth. Funny how there were no other issues with any other street food we had throughout the entire country.

But it is obvious that you cannot allow anyone to express a different experience than yours without you attempting to bully them by using descriptors such as “plain ignorance” and “lame”.

Now THAT is quite lame.

Regards.

I have been a frequent customer of her for the year I lived in Saigon. I have yet to find a better noodle soup place anywhere else. Again, if you like Pho 24 or Pho 2000, you shouldn’t go visit her. Otherwise, her soup is as good as advertised.
