Yes, real Pho is normally made using beef or other animal broth... I think it's a long simmering process involving bones and other such stuff I'd rather not consider right now. Vegan Pho is made using the same seasonings, spices and ingredients (for example star anise, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, garlic, etc...), minus the animal bits. It's pretty easy to make a delicious tasting vegetarian broth that can take on the same flavors of traditional Pho and there are even vegetarian broths already premade with beef or chicken type flavorings. Then use the usual vegetables and herbs, as well as a protein addition such as tofu or seitan instead of meat or seafood and you've got yourself a nice hot bowl of vegan Pho!

I agree, nothing to jump up in down in awe of, but still pretty gosh darn good for something local. I too appreciate that it wasn't salty. Gonna have to try the vermicelli next time! I wish they offered a veggie Bánh mì. Scott: Cool, I’m glad you checked it out. I agree, nothing to jump up in down in awe of, but still pretty gosh darn good for something local.
