Pho Thin Tokyo
Drinking whiskey at a bar in Ikebukuro and ``Sakura Sushi” I would like to eat sushi and finish it off with soup.
In addition to ramen shops, Ikebukuro has many shops selling soup such as soba and udon.
Today, I'm going to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different, so I decided to try something a little different.Pho Thin Tokyo”.
Pho is a noodle dish that represents Vietnam.
It is characterized by flat rice noodles and a soup made with chicken or beef stock.
『Fortin' is a popular restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam, and even in Vietnam there is no branch or franchise, and there is only one store and the recipe was kept out of the public, but the second store has opened in Ikebukuro.
Gyunikun no Pho (Beef Pho)
There is one basic menu:Gyunikun no Pho (Beef Pho)” only.
You can also choose with or without cilantro, Omori (Large Portion), and various toppings.
This time, Gyunikun no Pho (Beef Pho) “Coriander” was added as an additional topping.
Coriander is included by default, but as a coriander lover, I'm determined to add coriander if I can.
Meal tickets are purchased at the ticket machine in front of the entrance.
I'm glad that you can also use electronic money.
When you enter the store, give your ticket to the staff and sit down at an available seat.
I visited around 7:30 pm and there was no wait, but it was almost full.
We'll be there in less than 5 minutes.
It has a simple composition of coriander, green onions, beef, and noodles.
Let's get it then.
Soup
This is a soup with a slight hint of beef stock.
It's more like something you'd want to eat on a hangover day than after a drink.
Noodles
The noodles are slurpable and have a slightly chewy texture.
Coriander
From here, let's do some customization.
First, let's start with coriander with additional toppings.
The flavor of the coriander becomes milder, making it irresistible for coriander lovers.
If you like coriander, we recommend adding toppings.
lime
This is mandatory and should be included.
It adds richness to the flavor and freshness.
Nukumamu
I will also add the seasonings on the table.
First, let's start with the fish sauce called nuoc mam on the left side of the photo.
I think there was probably a little bit of nuoc mam in the original soup itself, but adding it gives it a richer flavor.
It's better to include this.
If you add too much, it will taste like soy sauce ramen, so it's important to adjust the amount.
chili sauce
Next, add the chili sauce in the center of the photo above.
It adds spiciness and umami, so it's a good idea to add it if you don't like spicy food.
garlic vinegar
Finally, add the garlic vinegar shown on the right in the photo above.
If you add garlic itself, the result will be quite junky.
It's up to you whether you want to use just vinegar or add garlic.
Impressions
I thought it had a pretty gentle taste in its default state.
I thought it was something you could customize with toppings and seasonings to your liking, but since the base is delicate, I felt that I needed to be careful not to add too much.
I think it was delicious overall.
However, I didn't feel a clear difference from the pho I had eaten at another restaurant in the past, nor did I feel a clear difference when I made pho at home.
Although it was delicious, I headed home with the feeling that pho itself is a difficult dish to differentiate.
