If any of you ever find yourself in Orlando, we have a pretty good sized Vietnamese population here. I live in the Vietnamtown section, and have about 20 pho places within walking distance. My favorite is a place called Pho Vihn.

I like to get the thin sliced sirloin, but tell them to bring it out raw. When they put it in the broth, it is already well done before it gets to you. Get it raw, and you can dunk it for a few seconds and it is great.

I also get the tripe and tendon. I don't know why, but I love it in pho. Don't think I would enjoy those textures in any other dish, but they are great in pho.
