I love these. Other reviews are too critical for what it is. It's cheap instant pho. Not everyone wants to make pho from scratch everyday. I add canned chicken, sriracha, hoisin sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Yes, the bowl is small, just put it in a bigger bowl. It's great for vegetarians/vegans since it has no meat products.

Yes. It’s good for its price and the convenience haha

Boil the water real hot in a pot instead of microwaving. Dump the noddle in and stir for 6 seconds and take it out to a separate bowl without the water. Put the spices and mung bean in the boiling water. When you are ready to eat then pour everything on top of the noodle. The testure of the noodle is lost when soaking for too long in the water while it heats up in the microwave oven, This cooking technique applies to cooking any type of noodles and not just Pho. It works also fir stir fry beef (chicken and pork do not have this problem and has to be well cooked anyway). To make crispy vegetables in a stir fry. boil it first quickly and then empty the boiling water. Put the the vegetables in the stir fry.

I tried the Pho today for lunch. Good flavor. Better after I added some BBQ pork, veggies, & put it in a larger bowl. I like the wider noodles. Very convenient. I like it!

It would be even better if you dumped out the noodles and put in a pork chop.

Got some of these today and thought it was relatively flavorless added gojujang paste and it turned it into probably one of the best instant pho noodle I've ever had

I actually love these... We have local Pho as well but when I have the craving in a pinch these are there. Like you I add things to it.

I had this for lunch today. Added noodles, base, oil & veggies to bowl, heated water in a kettle and poured over bowl. Added shrimp. And I did transfer to a bigger bowl after it was prepared.

I think microwaving makes it over cooked. What I did was put the noodles, oil and powder base together. Then boil some water and pour it over everything and let it sit for a few minutes. The noodles came out nice and flavorful. Also switched it to a bigger bowl

Very good, inexpensive meal. I agree that the noodles are too dainty and get a little mushy. I ditched the plastic bowl and prepared my soup in a small pot on the stove. I added 1/2 cup shredded rotisserie chicken and 1 cup of broccoli. It was delicious and I will be buying again! Thank you, Snapdragon!

Thank you for the product view. I was debating to buy this from Costco. Have you tried the instant pho Mama's brand??? For budget purposes I think the istant pho mama's brand is more affordable and you can always spice up the meal with seafood bits or meat slices.

I heard the mama’s brand is better. But I forgot if I have tried that one. If I did it would be before I started the video. This one kinda breaks apart easily

I have 3 boxes I my house, best insta pho on the market.

I just picked this up, and the bowl in my box is cardboard. But the noodle is very good, and the season packet is too much, but the oil packet is very good to add.
