It's nothing special. Unless you're a big fan of tripe and other parts. The pho place around here has what they call "deluxe pho" that has eye-round steak, flank steak, brisket, soft tendon, tripe, and beef meatballs. No shortage of protein in that bowl.  what they call Hue' style soup which is pho with wheat noodles instead of rice noodles and it's very spice. It's a choice between awesome and awesome.
And then they also have an amazing grilled pork bahn mi...dang it now I'm hungry.

I eat Pho all the time. We used to go to a local Vietnamese resteraunt for it but they began cutting corners and screwing stuff up.
So we started making it ourselves. It's not hard to do but it's a several hour process. If you want to cut just about all the carbs use 'miracle noodle' instead of rice noodle. When you make it yourself you can add just about as much protein as you want.... Chicken, or Steak, or shrimp, or all the above. |

There is an Vietnamese Restaurant close to my home.
I was really looking forward to the beef pho. I was bummed, the broth was very bland, didn't taste anything like beef. |

I'm actually pretty well verse in various cuisines but ironically had never had Pho. Went to a fairly high rated pho place today with my girl to try it out and I left there with mixed thoughts. The good: Liked the broth and the herb mixures. The bad: Way too many carbs, not enough protein. Pho seems to have this "healthy" stigma attached to it but it reality as someone who eats pretty healthy I was left feeling like shit/bloated like a pasta meal. Here I am its getting close to dinner time now an I have a steak/shrimp/salad dinner to prepare and I still feel like I ate too much even though I didnt even finish the entire bowl of Pho. Think I'm going to stick to Sushi for my asian type food fix. The broth is the best part. No need to eat all the noodles. Carb problem solved. |

I don't know if you have Vietnamese restaurants around your area that lets you eat family style. But if you do, here's my top list:
Bo luc lac Canh chua ca Ga xa xao ot Suon rim man Muc rang moi That would be my dinner on a normal evening when I have time to eat with friends for family. Google the different dishes and you will be wanting to run to the store to attempt it yourself. Also my wife learned to cook pho in her instantpot. Cut the cook time from half a day to 2 hours. We buy our beef bones from the local Asian market, and the meat left on the bone is some of the best you will ever have. |

We used to go to Broadway and Argyle(map), a small area packed full of VN restaurants and grocers, sort of a Vietnamese China town, if you will, and full of pho choices.
Now we have a Pho place in my town, right next to the sushi on boats place! A hipster pho joint opened by my GF at Milwaukee and Fullerton in Chicago. Furious Spoon. Although it is toxically hip, the food is very good. |

I don't like rice noodles so order my pho sans noodles but with a side of rice, which I add to the broth as mood suits me.
I try to pick places that make a good broth and enjoy it as made, rather than adding to it. |

Point is I felt similar eating pho as I do eating pasta. I dont get that feeling from sushi though I understand how sushi is made and how many carbs it has. To each their own. |

One of my favorite foods. I have the opposite problem as OP though. Serving sizes are too small, I always have to get extra beef and extra noodle.

Have chronic kidney disease. Pho has way too much sodium with the added fish sauce. Low sodium diet now. Used to love it, now cannot stand it as I can literally taste the sodium in the broth.

I love it. My local places did not skimp on the meat. I ordered it without the noddles often while I was on Adkins - meat, broth, bean sprouts, basil, and a bit of soak for the jalapenos.
Don't have a favorite place anymore. Had a very local place (about 200 yards away) that I ate at 4 days a week for a long time. Waitress (who happened to be the owner) knew me well enough she kept up with who I was dating and occasionally prodded (for business probably - you have not brought x girl in for long time). She opened another restaurant with a more upscale Asian fusion menu, but then closed both - it was a sad time. The best in Austin was taken over by their hipster kids - who tried to make the menu more healthy. That killed the flavor, greatly diminished the serving size, and only increased the prices by 25%. Then the neighbor of a coworker opened a place (Asian Fusion again), and it became my go to spot. Did not take long to find out that he was the bus boy for his older sister (when he was 12), of my former local spot. Seems like his big sister then owned 4 other places. I never figured out where the other 4 were, and he is out of business now. Really need to see where her places are now - but she is probabably at that age to go from being the hot Vietnamese girl (of impossible to discern age) to the old Vietnamese grandmother as I am remembering her place form almost 30 years ago. |

Drink a fifth of vodka, 8 IPA's and a shot of Patron. You'll feel like shit until you have a bowl of magic soup (pho). Best shit on the planet for a hangover that doesn't require an IV.

I love Pho, and there are tons of variations.
IMO a good Pho does not have too much noodles or beef, but just the right amount so you have something to chew while slurping up the broth. The beef should be dipped in hot sauce and then dipped back into the broth and eaten, then a mouthful of noodle slurped up. If you broth left over, dip your ban minh into it. |
