REVIEW
Preparation: 9/10 - Easy
Appearence: 6/10 - Average (nothing special but nothing weird either)
Smell: 7/10 - Good (smelled a lot like spring onion)
Flavour Accuracy: 4/10 - Not Accurate (it does taste like beef but not specifically like pho)
Tastiness: 8/10 - Very Tasty (the noodles do not absorb the taste very well but the soup is quite nice. very intense flavour)
Texture: 4.5/10 - Odd (oddly like slightly uncooked fettucine)
Portion: 6/10 - Average (it works as a meal but if you want to eat more, you definitely can)
Final Rating: 7 - Good
Final Considerations: It's surprisingly good. The real problem is the fact that it does not emulate Pho Bo very well. But if you're seeking rice noodles with beef flavour, then it's certainly an option to consider.
