By who? Those who have never tried it?

Also, having tried about a dozen Pho places when I moved to the East Bay from the LA area there is significant differences in the broth quality. Fortunately one of the best of the contenders is also only a 10 minute drive from my house.

To be fair, I actually didn't like pho that much in the US (even when I lived in the LA area). Turns out I actually like North Vietnamese pho more, whereas most places in the US serve South Vietnamese pho. The first bowl of pho I had that I actually enjoyed a lot was in Berlin of all places...

Even when I visted Vietnam that held true, I liked the taste more in Hanoi than in Ho Chi Minh City.

Gotta have that basil. But, you're welcome to have an incorrect opinion as there is no accounting for taste.

Just kidding I have never had N style pho.
