Simply Asia Vietnamese Inspired Pho Beef Broth, 26 fl oz (Pack of 6)

Because the town I live in is small, there is nowhere to get Pho. The closest place is over 60 miles away, so, I started making my own at home. This Pho broth is so good though I wish it had stronger anise flavor. Better to have a pre-prepped food that is less salty as this one is, I add salt to it. I put some of the broth on my dogs' dry kibble, he backed away from it, wouldn't touch it. That's okay, more for me plus he won't beg for it when I'm eating. It's very handy that the Pho broth is sold as six separate cartons. I can satisfy my Pho cravings easily.

I live near San Jose, CA. We have the largest population of Vietnamese people of anywhere in the US. We have REAL pho everywhere! Having said that, one must understand that pho is not just the broth, but the other additions which make it an authentic soup experience. This broth helps you create that at home. Of course it’s not going to taste like “real” pho, but what would that be, exactly? Northern style, with wider noodles? Or southern, with narrower rice noodles? Hell, we have even seen pho prepared with udon wheat noodles, and that’s not traditional at all, but still delicious! It’s really all about what you make of it. We use the broth to cook the noodles, then add very thinly sliced roast beef, mung bean sprouts, basil, some sliced jalapeño, Huy Fong sriracha, and a good dollop of hoisin sauce. It’s not like restaurant quality, but who wants to spend hours simmering, skimming, straining, spicing to get that genuine pho broth flavor? This broth is pretty darn good, and makes a very tasty and comforting bowl of soup. The price for the 6-pack is competitive with supermarket pricing or perhaps actually beats it, that is, if you can even find it on your store shelves!

This is not too bad, the taste was right but a little on the watered down side.

If this was something I would have known what it tasted like...5 stars... Oh my 🤣 I'm stuck with 6 boxes. Turns out it isn't my thing. Too much of anise flavor. It came on time. And the product packaging was good. No problems at all. Just not my jam! I got a great deal on these and for that reason I purchased a few packs of the noodles...for a deal. I'm just waiting for the right person to come along... Then that add some veggies and thinly sliced steak...boom they will be set.

This product is great to add to anything you need beef broth in. It have just a hint of spice to liven up you soups, stew, stir fries , sauce or gravy.

Calling this “pho” broth is a stretch. It doesn’t taste of any of the signature pho spices. It’s a decent beef broth at best.

Nice local flavor. Easy to start a base meal. I'll just sip on the broth alone thru the day. This is a beef Pho, no pork

As far as instant pho goes, this is one of the better ones. Its nice to have for a quick meal. It is a bit pricy for what it is but this item is on sale often enough for me to have it be a permanent item in my kitchen.
