Friends have been encouraging me to try a type Vietnamese noodle soup

Vietnamese (I didn't know any better). It was terrible.

I agreed with you there... Onetime, I was out of town, and in the mood for a
bowl of PHO so bad. The only place I could found is a chinese rest', and the
PHO was so terrible. They put the damn celery in it....


My second time having pho was at an authentic Vietnamese. The difference
was so great that I now have decided never having pho at a Chinese
restaurant.

Why is it that Chinese often imitate Vietnamese food and ruin its
reputation?

Considering the popularity of Chinese food over Vietnamese, it's more
likely that a Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant would be Vietnamese imitating
Chinese. Anyway, pho is basically ramen with higher-quality ingredients, a
restaurant would have to be pretty bad to **** it up.

PHO is originated from Vietnam. Apparently you have not had PHO yet to
compare PHO with RAMEN.
