The Greatest Phở outside of Vietnam

I love phở. I can eat it everyday. I wish I could make it, but the broth takes over 4 hours to prepare. The rest of the ingredients are simple but need to be fresh. My mouth just waters thinking about it. In fact, only when I have finished a super-large bowl of phở am I satisfied and not craving it. You drink water everyday, I can eat phở everyday. I will master the recipe someday. Go find me the best boneless beef sirloin steak, the absolute freshest flat rice noodles. Thai basil that was picked that day. No more than a day old bean sprouts. White onions, oh so thinly sliced. I love tripe, so in my soup I would add a hearty amount of it, the texture is amazing! Jalepeno peppers. Scallions and cilantro. Those meatballs!! What is in those meatballs? Okay, enough about the ingredients. I haven't had Phở today so I can't stand listing the ingredients any longer. When I lived down south, I used to drive for nearly an hour to come to the restaurant, located in downtown Kansas City.
The friendly staff, speaking mostly in Vietnamese, are wonderfully friendly. I have been there so many times they don't even bring me a menu. I just take a seat, and he brings out my large combo phở. By the time I take off my jacket and get a white gourd drink from the fridge, he is on his way out with my soup. Did I mention I love phở? Additionally, they have all the other traditional Vietnamese soups on the menu, perhaps up to 50 of 'em. Fried rice, and appetizers too. And that dessert I cannot describe because I have had it only one time, that one time I ordered a normal-sized soup so i could try their dessert. It looks multi-colored and is blended when ordered. Its maybe a fruit and jello mixture? It was delicious, but overstuffed my poor little belly.
The place is Phở KC, located on Cherry street.
