Ichiban is a japanese ramen dish, it is similar to soba, but uses regular wheat flour instead of buckwheat flour. The noodles are processed, boiled, then they are arranged into blocks and deep fried in palm oil to extract all the water. I don't know if pho is deep fried, but ichiban is bad for you, each pack having ~35g of fat!!!!!!!!!!

If you want a real junk food of japan, get ichiban yakisoba, mmmmmmmmm...

Are there any good pho places in Edmonton? I've been up here for over 3 months and haven't found anything decent yet!

Please help!

Anyone had Edo's Yakisoba...... I think thats how its said.... Its small thin noodles with teriyaki and beef chicken if you want.


Its like 7 bucks but its so much food you can barely eat it all.

When I work I usually have it for my lunch, they got a hot asian waitress ther too.

you must be really bored!

[roopi]

can you guys name some places in Edmonton for viet food?

i need some new places to eat.

[thich]

holy cow.. talk about old thread.. that musta been like from back from the ol' days.

I just found out something else about Pho to add to the history:

originally Pho used Pork (and chicken) as the main meat medium until the French introduced the Vietnamese to Beef (which was primarily used beforehand as the main source of farming equipment back in the day..)

so give it up for the french who taught Vietnamese ppl to appreciate beef as a food ingredient
and the french also introduced the baguette into Vietnam too... what would the world be without Vietnamese subs???

and i'd probably change my choice of Pho restaurants to go to now:
1. Pho Dau Bo
2. Pho Xuan

binh minh sux so bad - haven't been there for years

Drives me nuts when people say...

"Let's go eat some Foe."

It is "Fuh"

Guess you're out of luck!! LOL

All these years going to Edmonton, and I think I've only eaten at 3 different Vietnamese restaurants. They all sucked. I could prolly do a better job at home.

I'd go to Binh Minh before I'd even think about the other 2 you mentioned.
