Were you sitting next to an asian guy around 50yrs old and his wife around 40-50ish looking as well?

My mom and dad went Friday night after I told them how awesome it was and my mom mentioned she talked to one of the sisters and brought up Revscene. She was pretty happy to hear it and started chatting with my parents. Then they told me a table next to them asked for a Revscene discount and I lol'd.

we sat across from them

I overheard your mom and the server talking.

I think the entire restaurant at the time was somehow refered but RS

[FlyNvBaller]

the banana split guy ate at my resto, then said he was gonna head to DQ and asked if my sisters wanted anything, they said sure.

[Ikkaku]

that's pretty hardcore having your mom talk about revscene

I've yet to try this place :(

came by yesterday



i had no.1 with no.2 sauce


the sauce is a lot more heavier compare to no.1 with no.1 original sauce, which was on the light side.


I also had no.3 but told your sister that i do not want the pork feet


Otherwise great stuff.


I think the pho could use a little bit more noodle (had a large)

A few of my friends seem to love this place.. probably because of the attractive waitress.

I've been here a few times with them just for the sake of hanging out.. but to be honest, the food is so-so. It's not bad, but it's not great.

Though it is a refreshing change from the other few Vietnamese restaurants I usually go to.

Out of curiosity, do you guys purposely make the broths a bit lighter? Like I said, it's a refreshing change from the other couple places I frequent. :fullofwin:

Typically, the only reason why it's lighter or not lighter depends on the amount of Satay sauce we put in when we serve you. It's the same Satay sauce on each table that you can throw in yourself. If we put more on before we serve you the stronger and darker the broth. Most people can't take too much so we put a general amount and you guys can add as you please.
Unless you mean something else by lighter...

Treyeats, one of the worse blogs we had, she mentioned our broth wasn't even spicy at all when it's called a spicy soup...... Kinda snotty cause you can always add more spice.....typical woman

You're going to get a bunch of RSers saunter in super late sobering up demanding shrimp rolls. Don't let your sisters take the night shift. But they just might anyways, tips would probably get kinda epic. :p

[Splmash]

Treyeats, one of the worse blogs we had, she mentioned our broth wasn't even spicy at all when it's called a spicy soup...... Kinda snotty cause you can always add more spice.....typical woman

Just read her blog post on your restaurant (Hoi An Cafe- Vancouver | Trey Eats – All About Food Blog (http://www.treyeats.com/hoi-an-cafe-vancouver/)). She's a joke. Key points of interest for a FOOD blog is tasting the items. And not...

"We also ordered the Salad Roll but it looked very normal, nothing different about it than other places I’ve been, so I didn’t bother tasting it."

"I love to drink this but can’t stand how it gets me too wired, so I didn’t try it, but looks refreshing."

"I had a little bit of the soup just to try and it tasted like nothing special,"
- You can't just try the soup...

And lastly, she's a fan of McDonald's and their Filet of Fish. (Mc Ribs are back at McDonald | Trey Eats – All About Food Blog (http://www.treyeats.com/mc-ribs-are-back-at-mcdonald/)) Need I say more?

[dignatas]

I am sorry but people needs to learn how to take criticism. i actually agree on some parts and not on others. The thing about the mi quang is the noodles and the soup, (especially the soup), there is just not enough. Maybe add a little more since it feels so dry till the VERY end.) The salad rolls needs to look different. There is nothing special about it compared to my family friends. It is not bulky, no extra meat, it's just too plain and simple (The rolls aren't that tasty either). The reviewer was quite ignorant though. I was laughing when she didn't try the drinks and some of the food but she is spot on about the rolls.. Again, I will probably get murdered and traced but this is just my opinion.

edit: Maybe the restaurant could change some recipes if there are many opinions about some certain dishes? An open minded restaurant is a number one restaurant in anyone's books

Hi Trey,
I’m the owner’s son, who you may have saw running around in the back. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good experience at our restaurant. The mi Quang noodles is our specialty, it has been quite popular since our grand opening in March and growing. In fact we’ve been in the business since 2000 and this is our 3rd restaurant serving this dish. I apologized if you had a bad bowl!!

In regards to the bun bo tai, yes the only difference is the marinated meat, it too is one of the dishes people keep coming back for. The spiciness depends on how much of that chilli oil we put in which we also have available on each table so the customer can add as much spice as they want.

The salads rolls i agree are normal… there really is no special way of making it special…

Anyways, Thanks for coming to our restaurant its nice to hear the good and the bad! Next time if you ever come again, please try the #2! If you don’t like it, it’s on me!
"


That's some mother-fucking customer service right there. Props to you. Props. :fuckyea:

things change over time always, depends how we feel. Right now, the vast majority of people like the way it is. Or rather most people just eat what they get and they're fine with it.
With the noodles being too dry, certain people will request for more soup in the bowl or a side bowl of pho soup just to sip.
I think Salad rolls are good depending mostly on the SAUCE. salad rolls are just... noodles, shrimp, ham, veggies. Make it bigger or smaller it should taste exactly the fuking same Everywhere. key word.. "should"

If the quality of food keeps up with prices staying average, they will continue being busy. And it's SUMMER. Come gross rainy weather, demand is only going to go up.

agreed that the pho is average, but numbers 1-4 is where the money's at.

and whatever number the shrimp spring rolls are, 17?

[Drow]

#1 + #2 arent that great for me, i prefer me some bun bo hue. and other variables factor in too.

[keifun]

went there today for lunch with two lady friends

I think I saw FlyNvBaller in the kitchen. (tall skinny asian dude with glasses?)

The "younger sister" server was really nice and polite. Ordered a large #9. Tasted alright, soup was decent. Friend had the salad roll that was good too.

[Ronin]

Hey FlyNvBaller,

Can I ask why you guys make a more Chinese dim sum style spring roll instead of the round, deep fried ones we usually see at Vietnamese restaurants?

[GG]

Went there today, had no.10 pho, wasn't anything spectacular. Average at best. Over hyped imo.

I tried pointing that out yet RS loves to back their shit up saying, nah man its this and this therefore its still a solid pho


Its like they never had a decent phos else where other than pho hoa


Their no.1 and 2 is pretty unique, i like it, springs rolls are something special that you dont see at every viet place.

However pho wise? i seriously think its .............3-4/10


over hyped at its best

[bcrdukes]

LOL!

I'm not sure about you but when people make some kind of statement, it is normally backed up with facts and/or their findings. Credibility also helps.

Not that I care or anything but I would like to know what or where you consider as 10/10 pho. Or better yet, anything over a 5/10 rating for pho. I've followed this thread since the day I created it - I don't see where the "hype" is. If anything, personal opinions were shared and we can all agree, the #2 or RS Special is by far, the most popular dish.

[guddagudd]

ANDDDDD^ TO ADD TO THAT

You guys better be talking about Pho Hoa in Vancouver or something, Pho Hoa in Richmond sucks lol

[FlyNvBaller]

Hey FlyNvBaller,

Can I ask why you guys make a more Chinese dim sum style spring roll instead of the round, deep fried ones we usually see at Vietnamese restaurants?

When we opened, we made the vietnamese style ones, but more people liked the chinese ones. Easier to make too.... twice less work.

I don't get why everyone is talking about "hype". Yes, this is probably the most talked about pho place in Vancouver on this board but at the same time, the opinions are honest and there's criticism as well.

I mean, I said straight up I didn't think the appetizers are spectacular but I loved #1 with #2 sauce and how clean the place is. Did you expect to shit unicorns after? It costs $7 and it's fucking pho.

[GG]

^

yes i do admit their 1 and 2 is pretty damn good

however pho is blend as hell man



the pho on kinsway beside mazda dealership or in front of white spot/old wendys?

forgot the name, or the one in surrey pho vin has way better pho, and i mean way better.

I know my pho, i aint asking for 3 cups of MSG like pho hoa in my soup.
