Tank Noodle - Pho

Asians make great noodle soup dishes.  One of my absolute favorites is a traditional Vietnamese dish called Pho.  Pho is delicious!  For whatever reason, I've only recently, in the last few years, come across this great dish.  In its most basic form, from what I understand anyway, is that its comprised of a beef broth with rice noodles, thinly sliced beef and veggies and spices on the side that you can add.  At least thats the way its usually served at the places I've been to. 

Just last week, I went to Tank Noodle (http://www.tank-noodle.com) with my wife and our friends Bob and Emily.  Its a great Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant specializing in pho on Argyle in Chicago.  Its on street known as Vietnamese Street.  The menu is huge there as is typical of many asian restaurants.  I ordered the #90 which was Pho with flank steak and tripe.  They served it in a big bowl with noodles and broth.  On the side, are a variety of vinegar, soy, and chili sauces along with a platter consisting of limes, sprouts, and basil.  The meal is massive at a pretty good price of around $8.  We also had a crepe appetizer which was very good as well.  All in all, quite happy with the place, especially since its BYOB!  Gotta love that about Chicago.
