Just came back from Hoi An. Groggy weather out today so i had the Pho tai bo vien. The broth was good but the noodles tasted kinda off? I don't know how to describe it, but it sorta tasted like how it would smell uncooked and still in the plastic package. :confused: It was weird. It was had that kinda plastic-y aroma in your mouth. I did like the Bun bo hue though. Nice, friendly service.

It was very clean, portions were good, food was decent (had pho and spring rolls, next time I`m gonna try this vansterdamn special), oh and FlyNvBaller I know you hear it alot but your sister(s) are pretty good looking. My manwhore buddy was trying to stir up a convo and she avoided it very well. LOL

Sorry but I had to ask her to change the channel on the TV to sports cuz I was right in front of it, and Jerry Springer was on. I didn't feel like eating noodles while watching 2 redneck hillbillies fighting over a trailer tramp. Trying to claim who the real dad that got her preggers was. :rofl:

I'm usually one of the first people to complain if I feel that I'm not getting good value on what I eat, but seriously? :seriously: People complain for the sake of complaining sometimes. The portions here are fine, it's pretty much the same as any other Vietnamese noodle joint in Vancouver, it's not the best Bun Bo Hue I've had but the other dishes like the #2 are tasty.
I am a BIG eater myself and I find that I am substantially satiated after a large noodle and spring rolls which comes out to like $12, a fair bargain compared to most places these days.
I realized it was Cash ONLY on my 3rd visit here lol ... almost didn't have enough cash, I had to go back to my car to raid my coin slot, couldn't give a proper tip though... I told your sister I will tip double next time ;)

People are creatures of habit, they always order the same thing. Add 100 items to the menu and people will order the same thing.

Here right now, gonna try the vansterdam special :awwyeah:
^pretty good. i ordered #2. my only complaint is the portion was kinda small.
I gotta agree as well. I'm not a big guy either lol
I find it's only the #1 and #2 that seem to be a bit smaller?
The sauce is straight money, so can't really complain too much.
The other noodle soups on the menu seem to be pretty average sized.
Or maybe we're just too used to some other pho restaurants that serve like 10 pounds of noodles with a teaspoon of sauce. :lawl:

And the place was pretty empty when I went.

Maybe RS members were the only ones that were going and they hype died off and so did the quality and owners lol

The new owners are the original owners brother and his family however, the original owner (my mom and dad) are still cooking the food in the back so most of the food should taste the same.
The front staff will mainly be my uncle, his wife and daughter. My sister's and wife will be seen once in awhile in the front when they need help but my sisters (I assume were part of the experience?) are trying to start their careers outside the family business so they won't be seen if they're working or in school which is almost always now.
They renovated the washroom, thats my favourite part of the change =)

I went to Hoi An today for the first time in a few months. I pass by it all the time, and it's not too busy all that often.. Think they changed owners again; different people working and the menus are different. I think it's mostly the same items, just now it's on a black booklet kind of thing whereas before it was a single large laminated menu.
I couldn't really tell you how good the food was, I was fighting off the last bit of a hangover and it just tasted bomb haha.
