For those who went to Ho Chi Minh before, am very sure you've seen Pho 24 almost everywhere. It's the local 'fast food' joint, you wont get burgers and chips; you'll get pho bos and pho gas.
If you cant stand sitting on short stools,waiting for pho bo being cooked in make shift stoves and questionable hygiene level; Pho 24 might be your choice. As we were told by Jeffrey that it's just mediocre, Dragongirl and I never had the urge to try it.
Until one evening when it was raining so heavily (when it rains in HCM; it pours in bucketfuls)..we were left with not much choice as Pho 24 was just a few shops away from our hotel.
A quick order and soon the 'basics' for the pho is placed on our table..
the vegs..
the vegs.. I decided to have the sliced beef and beef ball noodles 
Which was quite huge in serving..Broth was clear, rather bland. The beef, though quite tender, was not fragrant enough for me..
The beef balls were just ok, think Malaysia's version is better..

The chicken taste was very strong..sorta like those meat that was kept in freezer and defrosted for the noodles. I didn't like it.

So Pho 24 or small pho bo stalls? Small stalls for me, anytime..
