It’s the meat, they seem to always use the toughest meat ever.

Good meat can cost 3-4x more than whatever they use. If the dish isn't their signature/bestseller it doesn't make sense cost-wise to use the good meat for this instead of their bestseller.

I mean the dish is supposed to used the toughest meat as the way to utilize it.

I had this dish in many restaurants and its not their specialty. You know how hard it is to convince my wife to make this?

Haha. It’s not hard to make tho.

I bet it’s not hard to make and can definitely try my best but it won’t compare to my wife’s cooking . She’s makes it taste so damn good.

Trust me I tried copying her other dishes and flavor profile doesn’t come close.

Can't keep the price down with a good cut of meat.

Best case they put noodles and very little meat.

This is interesting. Opposite for me, I like it much better at restaurants. Meat is usually incredibly tender

Not if you go to Song Que, in East London, UK. And order the 'stewed beef noodle'

I use to go to a Vietnamese restaurant that made a Phò with this stew as a base and it as fantastic specially on a cold winter day.
