huh, in the north the broth is thick.

in the south (nha trang at least) the broth is clear, with alot of green onions in it.

If you want bad, you gotta go to Cambie and Broadway. There's a 24hr one there. Certain members on this board love it...I think the soup tastes off. They tell me it's an acquired taste.

that one on broadway/cambie i went there yesterday at about 2am and it was pretty packed... only 2 workers though, so i left because there was like 7 tables without food and the open tables were all filthy.

^ what do you expect its a 24 hour joint + on a asturday when people are just leaving teh clubs and shit its bound to be packed n busy

im craving some mad bun bo hue right now!!!!!!

HAHAHA me and my friends always joke about this.

dirty places are good cuz of the "floor spice" they use.

HAHAHAHA.

hmm capstan way eh. i gotta try that place since im in richmond now.

green lemon grass aint bad. i like em cuz they accept CC.

If you're in Richmond check out Ha Long Bay, its across RPM behind King's Park on Westminster Hwy.

went there on sunday. Not too bad, but it was hella busy.

^ Is it the place that looks like you're in a boat or out at sea when you're in there?

yes

I always thought that place was called Pho Thai Hoa? Maybe I'm wrong.

+1, Nooch is good shit. They go light on the meat, though. But great atmosphere, decent prices and tasty food. The soup base is great, not too salty/MSG-y.

went to "Vietnamese Restaurant" this morning

customer service is awesome, portion is average, level of MSG was quite low, large variety especially with appetizers, price is ~6.50 for a large pho

Overall its a good place, would recommend you guys to pay one visit. :)

Just had my dose of Pho Vinh today. MMM MMM GOOD :D

bun bo hue

i have shit loads more. I should do a giant japanese/vietnam food post :D

That food looks amazing!!! You should definitely keep track of names of the restaurants so we can search them out if any RSers are in the area (i plan on going next year)!

i have all the names. These were just off my iphone


the bun bo hue is from hue... very famous do a google search on them

then sparrow salad is from hanoi in the old district accross from the train station... i think it's called pham ngu lock or something...

Tried Pho Vinh today. The food was pretty good, but I found the soup to be a little too "sweet."

Are there any other pho joints in the Vancouver area that has clear soup with lots of onions? I miss Pho Thang Long. :(

Om Nom Nom Nom

Anyone been to Thai Son in Richmond? The price is decent.. But the MSG level is low as it gets, plus the place is clean because it used to be a Japanese restaurant lol

mmm
nice pics
food looks so fresh there and CHEAP!
Are you there for vacation?

yeah, i'm really sad that i left. I think im going to sell everything save up for a year and open a business in hcmc or hoi an.

What sort of business could one open there?
