Noodle-eating ERA, let's end this debate once and for all: Pho or Ramen?

[hitme]

and no, not those $1 top ramen.

You have $10-15 and it's cold out.

WHERE DO YOU GO FOR HOT NOODLE SOUP?

 

[Sanjuro]

I do chow mein first.

Then maybe pho.

 

[CannonFodder52]

It's gotta be ramen.

 

[Hace]

It's a carbo nightmare, but god i love ramen

 

[thekonamicode]

The rich broth, the tender chashu, the perfectly runny boiled egg.

I love pho, don't get me wrong, but nothing compares to a hot bowl of ramen, especially when it's cold outside.

I do have a Christmas tradition with Pho however. A Jinya Ramen bar recently opened in my shitty devoid of culture town, so I've been hitting them up regularly.

 

[subpar spatula]

pho. easily.

 

[rockinreelin]

ahem https://www.resetera.com/threads/ramen-vs-pho-which-do-you-prefer.8521/

And again it's pho since i have celiac.

 

[Van Bur3n]

It's pho. Thanks for playing, Japan.

 

[Muppet of a Man]

Ramen...both are good, however. It's just that Ramen is great.

 

[Figgles]

Neither. I love both. Pho is lighter, and good when it's warmer out. Ramen is heartier and good for cooler weather.

 

[Firemind]

Pho? You mean rice noodles?

 

[mrmoose]

I guess it depends on where you live but to me, a great ramen place beats out a great Pho place.

 

[amon37]

Ramen, no question

 

[chefbags]

Ramen.

you ever try ichiran ramen from japan? there's instant noodle versions but the real deal is the branch off ones in NY.
possibly the best ramen I've had so far in my life.

I miss it lol

Yes, rice noodles are in pho, yes.

 

[Blue Skies]

Pho!

I got put on to it in Hawaii, and damn, I had it like once a week!!
Ramen always, even the good ones, feels like fast food to me. Pho is a culinary experience

 

[Neptonic]

Udon is the true answer

 

[TissueBox]

Pho fo' sho.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Pho.
We're made pho each other.

 

[Syril]

I prefer soba.

 

[Deleted member 15227]

Pho, easily.

 

[Ensorcell]

Pho, but ramen is going to win the poll because more more people know what it is.

What other kind of pho is there?

 

[signal]

im posting every noodle soup i have in google photos. get blogged on.

Spoiler

 

[Ekakkubris]

Getting over a sickness = Pho
Getting over a hangover = Ramen

folks, it's science.

 

[Inki]

Worms, not baby snakes.. that's just gross.

 

[Astronut325]

Ramen > any Pho... this is a fact.

 

[Grouch Douglass]

Can't eat it all the time due to all of the fat and salt, but a good Ramen place is far superior. Nothing is more savory and satisfying. A good place will always have marinated egg (ajitsuke) and a rich flavorful broth.

 

[Deleted member 18360]

Good pho is better than good ramen.

Cheap/crappy ramen is better than cheap/crappy pho.

 

[Firemind]

Yes, rice noodles are in pho, yes.

Poll seems a bit limited then. Udon and soba just to name a few already mentioned.

 

[Cookie]

Ramen is way better. I had Pho in Vietnam and was really underwhelmed, it's overhyped.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

I like amish noodles

 

[Van Bur3n]

Good pho is better than good ramen.

Cheap/crappy ramen is better than cheap/crappy pho.

This at least is probably true, if I must give ramen some amount of credit. I've tasted many a pho, and bad pho is enough to ruin your day. An utter disappointment to the soul.

 

[BorkBork]

I could eat Pho for the rest of my life. Ramen is great but hard on the tummy.

 

[TrailerParkRanger]

냉면

 

[Deleted member 4367]

Cilantro is the devil, so ramen

 

[Deleted member 17402]

Neither. Ramen is one of the few foods I really dislike paying to eat out. It's not worth it to me because I don't look forward to eating it, even though I do enjoy a vegetable ramen if it's given to me.

 

[Tribal24]

How about both? But Pho for me becuase I can prolly eat it every day

 

[Grouch Douglass]

If anyone lives in Austin, Ramen Tatsu-Ya is possibly the best Ramen I have ever had. There is usually a huge line though and they refuse to do take-out.

 

[Shyotl]

Pho is good, but rarely does it actually put me over the threshold of actually wanting to bother with soup. Ramen however does, with its stronger thicker broth, fattiness, and dat egg. It feels like more of a treat to me.

 

[Survivortype]

Both are excellent but the real answer is Taiwan Beef Noodle!!!

 

[Doom_Bringer]

i prefer hakka chow mein - it's a mix of Indian + Chinese cuisine and depending on where you go, it taste's great. Like there was a place near my dad's house back in India, the chefs from from Tibet China and man the chow mien they made there was incredible. I cannot forget the taste, it was so good.

The restaurant was near ISBT in New Delhi, I should look it up on google maps.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

I prefer ramen but the beauty of life is that you can have both on different days

 

[nullref]

I can be in the mood for either, depending on whether I want something lighter, or something richer. But while like I love everything else about pho, the rice noodles really do nothing for me. So I give it to ramen by a hair.

 

[Deleted member 1589]

Xinjiang pulled noodles for me.

My wife is pretty much a pho stan though.

 

[Firemind]

Since we're posting different types of noodle soup, this is my jam.

 

[I Don't Like]

Wow, pho losing by a landslide. You people are terrible. I may just never come back to this site again. You hear me? NEVER!

 

[Hollywood Duo]

I'm poly amorous with all noodles

 

[DrewFu]

A good ramen tops a good pho. With that, I eat Pho almost every week, and rarely eat restaurant Ramen.

 

[CloseTalker]

For noodle soup, ramen by a hilariously wide margin. I do enjoy Vietnamese food in general more though.
