Worth It Season 4 Episode 6 $7 Pho Vs. $68 Pho

In this episode of Worth It, hosts Steven Lim and Andrew Ilnyckyj are on a mission to find the best pho in Los Angeles. The Vietnamese noodle soup, traditionally made with beef broth and rice noodles, can be found at various price points throughout the city.

Their journey begins at Pho 79, a no-frills spot in Garden Grove, California, known for their affordable pho. For just $7, they try the restaurant's signature dish and are impressed by the flavorful broth and tender beef. Steven and Andrew also try the restaurant's specialty, a meatball pho, which they both enjoy.

Next, the hosts head to Little Sister in downtown Los Angeles, where the pho costs a bit more at $19. While the price is higher, the restaurant offers a more elevated atmosphere and unique twist on the dish with the addition of bone marrow. Steven and Andrew appreciate the depth of flavor in the broth and the richness added by the bone marrow, but question whether the higher price point is worth it for the average diner.

Finally, Steven and Andrew visit the upscale restaurant, The District by Hannah An, where the pho costs a whopping $68. The luxurious dish includes premium ingredients such as wagyu beef and black truffles. The hosts are initially taken aback by the price, but are impressed by the high quality and presentation of the dish. Despite the extravagant price, Steven and Andrew agree that the pho is worth trying at least once for its unique and indulgent experience.

Throughout the episode, Steven and Andrew engage in their usual banter, sharing their personal preferences for pho and debating the value of the different price points. They also take a break from the pho tour to try the popular Vietnamese sandwich, banh mi, and visit a local Vietnamese market.

As always, the hosts provide a comprehensive and entertaining review of each location, allowing viewers to decide for themselves which pho is truly worth it.
