    that’s some interesting looking pho; giant piece of steak rather than thinly sliced beef, can’t say I’ve ever seen mushrooms or cilantro, and a whole star anise pod, wow

      The star anise pod, there’s what, 8 in a family sized batch of broth? It’s still a strange garnish. Basil, not cilantro. Cilantro is for Thai soup.

        The star anise was mostly for decoration. My daughter likes to munch on the seeds and herbs from broths and stews, so her bowl had just one.
