It's tasty stuff. I recommend guy cun (spelling) as an appetizer. The only issue is that it's not real nutritious. I used to love Pho (pronounced Fu not Foo), but don't get it anymore. Rice noodles have a high glycemic index, the soup is loaded with sodium and there's not much vegetables to it. I do eat it as an occasional lunch treat though. DEFINITELY go for the raw meat. You put it in the soup and it cooks in there. It isn't raw when you eat it. Just very tender.
