Re: please help identifying a type of oriental noodle soup

I hate soup so I am not a big fan of pho. I would prefer to drain all the soup out before eating the contents lol

That doesn't look like Pho. It's more like this.

Could it be the Vietnamese beef noodle soup called Bun Bo Hue?

A restaurant at Bally's probably wouldn't be serving authentic Bun Bo Hue though.

Pho is good. Beef Noodle Soup (particularly Taiwanese) is fucking amazing. Though a lot of places try to pass off this shitty clear soup as Beef Noodle. It isn't.

If I posted when this thread was started 8 years ago I would've asked the same thing. Worst that can happen is they say "I won't give out any secrets to our Beef Noodle Soup!"

I would have called, but it was a noodle bar, I'm sure they had no phone, and they moved it within the casino, and completely changed the menu. Also, there was a pretty big language barrier.

This looks about right, but the next problem is I am very picky and ordered it with no veggies, so I can't say for certain what greens belonged in this particular soup!
