Bun Bo Hue is my favorite Vietnamese soup (or soup period!). After seeing the hive drool over Pho, I think it's time y'all see the light!

GYSOT!

If it’s southwest Asia, I love everything about Thai soups. Tom yum or Tom kha is my jams for the balance of flavors. Malaysian Lak Sah is pretty good too

There is a restaurant by my place where you can bring your own POT and load up on Bun Bo

Pho, Tom Yum, Tom Kha, man all those asian soups are great. But I think Khao Soi is simply the best.

I love Pho but can't get past the pig feet and blood in Bun Bo Hue.

Nah, it's the simplicity of Pho that makes it such a classic.

I don't speak Mexican. Can you explain?

I am fortunate. My wife makes great Pho and my mom make s awesome Bun Bo Hue. Heck, mom was born in Hue city so its a given!

Gìo heo is the shank of pig leg/feet. Huýêt is the blood cubes (congealed and cooked pig or cow's blood).
I love BBH over Pho, packs more flavor and spicy. I also don't knaw on the pig shank, or eat the blood cubes so I request them not to put it in the bowl. The beef, and special pork Gìo (similar to hotdog/salami), and the spicy (and sometimes tomato is included) broth makes a distinctive standout to Pho.

Eta: I live in Houston and have yet to find a good BBH in a restaurant, even the standalone BBH places. Most of them just take the Pho broth and add the red chili paste to give it that red and spicy look...not the same. I guess I'm spoiled by good home BBH by my wife (her family originated from Hue).

Asians are the masters of soup.

This cannot be refuted.

I usually get the BBW.

I wouldn't be able to decide between the two. Both have brought me back to life more times than I can count. Whoever is in the Austin area, Tan My has the best BBH.

At some restaurants, they have hot chili oil, dried/fried and ground chili powder, siracha and peppers that you can add, in addition to the usual toppings. I have made some bowls of pho into delicious meat mace.

I don't discriminate though.. I eat it all. I love Vietnamese food.

i like the mystery meat gang bang pho that looks like you threw a cow into a wood chipper. usually it has tripe which is pretty awesome and also brisket.

ramen is getting trendy which is great too. the world needs more thick pork broth

Chili isn’t a soup..... so there’s that.

If we are REALLY talking about Asian soups, we should start by acknowledging that good Ramen is the pinnacle and work our way down from there

Posted: 3/21/2019 8:47:16 PM EDT

Bbh over ramen any day of the week. Maybe I’m just not a fan. But I’ve never had ramen that I loved. They were all meh

BBH is what I order most of the time. It’s just more satisfying to me than regular pho tai or pho ga.

I’m really looking forward to a 10-day trip to Vietnam in May. I’ll be traveling through Hue.

Posted: 3/21/2019 10:43:05 PM EDT

Yup, it sure is. Every Viet place I hit, if it has bun bo hue, it always choose it over pho.

It's hard to find "good" BBH though. I guess if you don't have anything to compare it to (authenticity wise), it may not be easy to do. I live in New Orleans where there's a HUGE Vietnamese community, and only 1-2 shops actually have it good enough for me to order it.
