Maybe it's me, and maybe I haven't had good, genuine Pho for a while. But honestly, this Was better than I expected. I was really pleased with the taste and concentration of the servings (1tsp to 8oz) with this Harvest Pho Beef broth. It really tastes like the real deal. Highly recommended. But yes, the pricing is a bit steep. So don't waste your Leftover Broth.
