I don't know if I can recommend the noodle bowls because they are HUGE

well 7.5" isn't that big at all. They are supposed to be larger to
hold the noodles and soup plus all the goodies. I've been to a
Vietnamese restaurent where the "small" Pho is that size, then it goes
up to regular (10"), large (looks like 12") and extra large (didn't
dare order this size!)

My boss ordered the extra large for me one time. He said that the huge
size reminded people of the old fashioned locomotive turntables in the
railroad roundhouses that were used to switch them to different tracks,
so they sometimes call them by the same name. Anybody heard of it?
