In North America, comparing ramen and pho can be difficult as there’s good and bad pho out there just like there’s good and bad ramen. North Americans have most likely been exposed to ramen more than they have been exposed to pho. Because of this, the vast majority of people tend to choose ramen over pho. In essence, they may not know what pho is or may not have enjoyed amazing pho before. Pho’s also not as in line with North American tastes as ramen is. Ramen can contain bigger pieces of meat and is generally a meatier dish. Although pho can be meaty certainly, it can also be light and a more balanced meal overall. Today’s tastes of healthiness and a more balanced meal certainly lean in pho’s favor which has helped to popularize pho in major cities such as Toronto.

Pho’s a very charming dish that you absolutely have to try if you haven’t yet had the pleasure. Similar to ramen, pho can be customized according to how you like it. Pho comes in many different flavors, although the broth, rice noodles, herbs, and meat equation is pretty standard to all varieties. That said, there are even vegetarian options available that are sure to appeal to vegetarian and vegan eaters. Pho originated sometime in the early 1900s as a street food which made use of the available ingredients the people of Vietnam had at the time. Today, as Vietnamese families have travelled all over the world and installed themselves everywhere, they’ve brought with them their pho recipes. In Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Montreal, Halifax, and Toronto, pho restaurants are found in abundance Canada-wide.
