Vietnamese restaurant tomorrow--asking now to be prepared

Hello,

I am going to a lunch tomorrow at a local Vietnamese restaurant.  Would it be better to order the beef pho and not eat the noodles (accounting for residual starch in the broth) or try a saucy dish served over vegetables?  I feel like the pho is ultimately a better choice, but I'd love the input from people who know.

Thanks!

    Not a professional here (lol), but I would also pick the Pho without noodles over the saucy dish since you do not know all that is in the sauce.  You are on the right track!

  • Pho with out the noodles. Just ask them to hold the noodles, you may get more broth and won't be tempted to sneak a noodle

    I like your noodle free pho idea, maybe they will put in some extra veggies if you ask.
