Best PHO in Metro New Orleans

In recognition of my 5000 post I'm gonna rank my top 5 place to eat pho. Now I'm not claiming to be a pho maven by any means, I'm just a junkie who has 2-3 bowl a week habit.

5. Frosty's Cafe- Good broth, good noodles, and ok meats. I like that they include those little friend onion pieces in the soup and that it's served with cilantro. Pretty small place with only a few tables but I never seem to have trouble getting a table. Very nice people who own and operate this Metairie spot.

4. Magasin- Good broth and noodles. Great meats although they can be a lil skimpy. Biggest con about this place is it's stupid hours. You would think a place thats always pack would open more hours. I would love to stop by on my way home from work and pick up a to go order but I can't because they close after lunch and reopen at 6. I'll call in an order right at 6 go pick it up and its already a complete cluster frick in there. PITA just to pick up a to go order. They do however do a really good job of packaging the pho to go. Best I've seen anywhere.

3. Tan Dinh- Really good broth, meh noodles, and a good portion of delicious meats. Does anyone know why their broth is so yellow ? The best thing about this place is the hours. They open up at 9 am even on Sundays. They are my go to spot for early morning hangover relief. Only con is the service can suck and it's on the west bank. Really looking forward to them opening up shop on Maple St. I hope they have the same early morning hours.

2. Lilly's Cafe- Awesome. Great large bowls of deliciousness. Small quite place on the busy Magazine strip. No cons with this place although I wish they were open on Sundays. I refuse to work on Sundays so I understand. They also have a really good spicy shrimp version.

1. Kim Ahn's- Broth so good you don't want to put anything else in it. Best noodles of any place I've been and very good meats. They've made some changes, bowls have gotten smaller, prices have gone up a little, but they still can't keep me out the place. It's been my pleasure of paying for their kids college. Their hours suck and they are not open on weekends, but this doesn't really bother me since I'm no where near Harahan on the weekends. I think they might have these limit hours because of the murders but I'll never ask. If you don't know about it google kim ahn murders. It was even on one of those crime TV shows.

So go ahead and agree to disagree. I know not all of us like the flavor blue.
