Hah, that's so true. Because the truth is, "authentic" Vietnamese is NOT soooo much better, like they are claiming.
Have you ever seen a lot of these authentic Vietnamese restaurant? They're filthy, and a lot of them are regularly getting shut down by the health department, and when they do pass the health inspection, they might only pass with a C or a B rating.
Not only that, but a lot of "authentic" Vietnamese pho restaurants have served me withered or discolored basil leaves or dry vegetables that look like they haven't been washed, broth that clearly had MSG or other flavor enhancers added to it, and those meatballs that always come out in the combination pho are highly questionable processed mystery meat product at best.
So here's this guy making pho in an impeccably clean, hygienic restaurant with top-quality ingredients. He's using grass-fed beef, free-range, organic chicken, crisp and freshly washed produce, broth that has nothing added to it except sea salt and star anise and a variety of spices... and people have the audacity to say he doesn't make "authentic" pho?!
Bitch, his pho is WAY more authentic, and WAY more similar to what the REAL Vietnamese people deep in the rural villages eat.
People are so used to eating garbage chemical foods, and are so misguided by identity politics, that now they can't even recognize true, pure flavors when they see it anymore.

Where is OB?
It could just be that there might not be good pho where you live.
If that's the case, then it definitely is worth it and better to simply make your own.
And lol, this is one reason I've said never to trust Yelp especially for Asian or ethnic cuisines. You have tons of people who don't know what the real flavor is supposed to taste like, or other people who taste authentic cuisine and hate it because they are used to Americanized Chinese or something.

He's okay, I just hope he gets the mental health and addiction services that it sounds like he needs. He came up as a friend suggestion on my FB today and I wish I could've taken a picture because I literally did this:

All the authentic - well, not "all" - Vietnamese places out here make everything so hot. Like "did it wrong" hot, or "cover shitty flavor" hot... not like Thai or something where you can still taste individual flavors despite tears streaming down your face and all you wanna do is eat more.
Menus have dozens of items and half look the same, or places never get it right. Heck I had pho in MN that was better than that place up in Portland.. but for the most part yeah I'd imagine these dimly lit and angrily-owned Vietnamese places are laundering money or something because there's no way people pay for this food again after they've had it once.
If some white dude came and ran circles around all these little places, they'd be like Korean liquor store owners during the LA riots.. looking for blood.

Wow, that.... does not sound authentic at all. I've never even had Vietnamese food that was spicy.
Of all the Vietnamese food that I've had (spring/summer rolls, pho, broken rice, vermicelli, banh mi, dumplings, papaya salads, iced Vietnamese coffee) absolutely none... NONE of the dishes I've had were even remotely spicy, or were even supposed to be spicy.
I would bet you anything that a lot of those "supposed" Vietnamese restaurants are really Chinese-owned or some shit. That's actually quite common, for Asians to open up another Asian restaurant that has nothing to do with their country of origin. They just open it because it makes them more money than opening up a standard Chinese or Indonesian or Korean restaurant.
I see Chinese-owned and Korean-owned sushi places all the time. And I can usually tell, because they use different standards, and different techniques for the sushi.

if there's no chemicals in it then he's serving you nothing, at the very least is should contain glutamine, lisine, glycine, methionine, sodium chloride and dihydrogen monoxide as a base
dont fear the chemicals, everything is chemicals and dont buy into the marketing hype

I sincerely doubt homemade pho has all those chemicals in it. Of all the videos and recipes I've seen on how to make pho, most of the time none of those chemicals are added. Some people I've seen add MSG, but they say this is optional if you don't want to use it.

Thanks for the informative post. Apparently I got banned from this thread and someone let me back in.
I'm not at all surprised some Asian or East Asian culture opened a store under the name of another culture. I'll have to find a better place in PDX for Vietnamese and try the real deal.

What's the percentage of Asians in Portland? I know their population is 100,000 or so, it's a small city, and I think of it as a mostly white hipster city.
Honestly even my cousin living in Seattle (which has a decent-sized Asian population) has said that Asian food sucks up there.

Approx 7 percent Asian in a city of 600,000.
Yes it's hipster central. I hate seeing those self righteous fucks in parks. They are the biggest assholes I've met in my life. It seems native PDX people don't even like them, either. I bet the hipsters would snitch on mushroom picking so I avoid them as much as cops/rangers. Ruining the environment or something, I'm sure, despite picking helping the organism..

Cultural appropriation ia the most idiotic thing to oppose
Throughout history intellectual golden ages We're born whenever cultures interconnected and adopted each other's ideas and techniques
Saying a white guy can't cook Vietnamese food is like saying an African guy can't be good at Greco-Roman wrestling or saying a Chinese guy can't be good at Judo, or a Japanese guy can't learn Kung fu.
