Remember the bowl, not just the rating.

Your pho tasting notebook

Make your own notes on broth, noodles, beef or toppings, and herbs. This is your private worksheet, not a published Pho Review assessment.

Taste the broth first

Before adding sauces or garnishes, note aroma, clarity, depth and balance. Describe what you taste in your own words.

Give the noodles a moment

Record their texture when the bowl arrives and again partway through the meal.

Look at the whole bowl

Note the toppings, herbs, temperature, portion and what you paid. Separate a personal preference from a preparation problem.

Keep the context

Record the restaurant, visit date and what you ordered. One visit is a snapshot; a second visit helps test your first impression.
