Being Chinese and I think a lot of people can relate to this but it drives me fucking crazy when I hear an ederly person a.k.a my dad or otherwise talk about a restaurant and the first thing they say is not if it's taste good or bad but that it's very "di sit" a.k.a bargain or good deal followed up with that the portions are large. Then I just shake my head and ask but is it actually good and not good for the price but actually good. Sigh maybe I'll be like that 20 years from now and my son will look at me like wtf :badpokerface:
I'm guilty of charge.

But honestly, when someone tells you something taste good, what does that mean? Taste, like looks, are subjective. It's all personally opinion. All the BBH I listed taste good, so yeah, I don't know if that helps.

Agree.

I'm not a pho expert, but that list of restaurants is quite sad.

bcrdukes 05-25-2018 11:02 AM
Worst. List.
Ever.

Give "Bao Chau Restaurant" a try! It's my go-to for Vietnamese food...

2717 E Hastings St, Vancouver, BC V5K 1Z8

I never tried their BBH, but their pho and coffee is the bomb! You can maybe thank me later :)

nguyen 05-25-2018 06:23 PM

How appropriate that you would know :troll:

For BBH, I go to that hole in the wall on Rupert, just south of Grandview. Pho Nhuan?

Spoon 05-26-2018 01:19 PM
Gold Train made it on a recommended list. FailFish

Time to close the thread.

That place is also shady as f*ck. Ever go there at night?

Spoon 05-26-2018 09:32 PM
Went there once at night ages ago. Can honestly say it's the worst bowl of pho I've ever had.

Drow 05-27-2018 01:07 PM
Went to An Pho in surrey today.

I ordered the BBH, gf ordered regular pho and i added sprang rolls and 1 more lemon grass chicken on rice.

The BBH soup was really good. Their broth has a distinct taste to it that makes it different than other places. Too bad the beef slices were way too lean. Could be a lot more fatty... and lemon grass chicken was average

Overall BBH rating : 8.2/10 (could be a strong 8.6/10 if it had better beef)

Good review
The beef has to be fatty though. And the tripe should be cut smaller. I hate picking up a piece of tripe and it turns out to the whole stomach:awesom:

Vansterdam 05-28-2018 12:06 PM
lifehack: get the quail eggs added to the BBH at cafe xu hue :fullofwin:

Drow 05-28-2018 08:10 PM

Depending on what you get if things like tendons and tripe and shiet are in there what's a quail egg really.

True! Want me some quail eggs now they're so dope in pho or hotpot or really anytime.

Mikoyan 05-29-2018 06:06 PM
Can confirm most of the street pho carts in Ho Chi Min I saw had bowls of quail eggs as a topping option.

Recommended list? Where did you get that from? Just simply putting in what I think about all the places I've tried so far. In no way do I recommend unless stated.

Adding to the list though.

My Chau on kingsway I would recommend. 8/10. Spicy, lots of vermicelli and lots of meat for $9.25.

Drow 05-31-2018 06:00 PM
Cafe Xu Hue Re-Review:

8.8/10

This time when i went it was much better. More meat and the soup was delish. I sweated like a fat fuck too while eating. Portion size could be more!
