SHUBA SHUBA, or Pho?


SHUBA SHUBA, or Pho?

Something hit me today, more than ever before. I need to do something positive with my time and I need to make something happen in my spare time. So with little spare time I have I have decided to make this a food blog. So if you ever wanna go somewhere with the same fast I have and you want something good, I will post about it every time I go somewhere new. SWEET, are you as excited as I am.

Today my Missionary companion and i decided that we needed some PHO. It was more like me saying hey grow, lets go get some pho (FUH). As we drive down State street looking for a place that sales this delectable bowl of hot noodles and soup. We stop at one place which was closed at 5:30 pm. Yes thank you Utah Valley. We then stop at a place on Center orem and State, called SHUBA SHUBA. Yeah what the hell is that I ask myself as I walk through the front door.

We are so eagerly greeted by a man, and sat at the bar, He begins to talk over the menu, because we address that we have never been there. Eh sounded like the typical asian place. He was very personal and helpful, but i wanted to cut to the chase. I ask him for a bowl of beef Pho. Sounds typical and as I served my mission in Houston I would eat this stuff multiple times. I hoped that this would be the same as my Pho I had previously. Well As he brought it out it was a generous portion and He gave me garnishes to put it. The broth was tasty, and the meet fresh. But the Pho it self was a bit bland. My friend Aaron ordered a couple simple sushi rolls, and they tasted bland also. Not much flavor but somewhat fresh fish. I order a roll. and it comes out a bit surprising, but still very bland and lacked a word… yea. flavor! Aaron orders a specialty roll, which is by far the best I had and from that I determined that the specialty rolls are the only way to go. So from my total service and food at the restaurant I payed 15 dollars, for a Generous size of Pho and a not so tasty roll.

  • Taste-4
  • Price $$
  • Service 3 stars

Uniqueness of the menu- very, Shuba Shuba is a fondu type style, dipping meats and veges into boiling broths. Kinda like a two in one meal, because you have the broth when you are done to slurp up.

Tip. Awesome people and great service, a bit over barring but very eager to help. Go at 3, thats happy hour, save some money and stick with the Shuba Shuba

Location- Corner of State and Center in Orem in Orem, Utah No address

Good LUCK!
