FlyNvBaller,
If Hoi An somehow evolves into the first Pho Maid Cafe in Vancouver, you'll have lineups out the door. Not that I'm suggesting anything of the sort.
Just you know, food for thought.

i was there and it was ok. I had their famous number 1 and it was great to get a chance of taste. had the shirmp and pork... was it epic... meh.. it's ok... would i drive all the way back.. not relaly.

8/10.... just diff. but didn't think it was too high of it. I do appreciate this thread cause after i read it, i drove by and i'm like.. let's try it out since Dona cata wasn't open that early.

Even though its our famous dish I personally agree with how you feel about it. I've only ate it once since we opened in March as I'm not a fan of it. But there are a whole crap load of people who come eat it Everyday. Try number 2 you might like it better. I love it way more. But BCRDukes prefers #1.

And this is all that matters. #1 > everything.

they really have a vip card?...i mean you guy's are giving them free promotion?,excuse me?..30-20% discount please.

[d1]

I tried #1 as well and while I did like it, I'd prefer a regular bowl of pho. The shrimp/pork spring rolls were good too; especially when fresh.

[sean_wong]

Shut up you dirty Chinaman.

[Skyline350gt]

Went today with my gf I tried mi quang it was pretty good but my gf had pho tai bo vien...and damn the meat was tender and tasty. Broth was excellent as well..I ate all my Mi Quang and all hers too :D

[Spoon]

came by tonight with wife and baby. tried #1 just because the pics looked so good. too bad it just wasn't a home run for me. much prefer the soup noodles.

my wife and aunt enjoyed the place too. really liked the fact that the place is so clean unlike most pho places. +1 for being baby friendly.

[GG]

i came by today as well

hmmm i think the place is good, but nothing epic

the goods

clean, friendly staff


My gf had no.6

PHO wise, i would rate it a 6/10

kinda blend and light, not too much flavor, noodle were a bit soggy

Veggies were fresh tho


The shirmp roll i would give it a 7/10


no.1 i would rate it 7.5/10


5 being average, 10 being epic


so its still not a bad experience.

I live pretty damn far, so would i drive 30-40 minutes for it? no probably not


but still not a shabby place to check it out

[SeanJohn]

This place definitely looks like it is worth trying. Even though I lurk, I trust BCRDukes' judgement when it comes to food.

I only hope that it isn't all RS hype like the MASSIVE letdown that Ebisu was.

[GG]

i do think it got over hyped



was ebisu really that overrated?


i thought it wasnt bad, obviously not 10/10 but....definitely aint a 5/10 either

[bcrdukes]

LOL!

Thanks, SeanJean! :D

For the record, I do my best to understand the culinary and cultural influences of a particular cuisine. Like I mentioned in a separate thread, I was privileged to have grown up trying a variety of ethnic foods, Vietnamese being one of them.

One can never expect a mind blowing experience as some have. Sadly, they were let down and I can respect that. But being able to understand how the food should be served and to be eaten as intended can go a long way. That's what made my experience much better than what can be had at say Pho Hoa or Gold Train Express.

Don't get me wrong. There are tonnes of Vietnamese restaurants out there which serve good food but to me, any sort of MSG laden broth served over sub-standard noodles just isn't what I look for. Hoi An hits it on the spot when it comes to simplicity in their ingredients and soups. They keep it simple and that's what I love about their food. I don't think Hoi An was over-hyped by any means. A lot of people have enjoyed their food and hospitality. :)

[Meowjin]

Shut up you dirty Chinaman.

best post on revscene hands down.

[Meowjin]

Hype is one thing, but saying it's your standard pho place is silly.

1) it's clean
2) the staff speak english and are friendly
3) the pho is actually good.
4) they have dishes that other nammer joints dont have
5) And they nailed the broth perfectly.
6) it's consistent.

now if only i can find a place that does buhn cha perfectly.

IMO, i'm super picky with food, if dooooookes, kwazy and me say it's good it's good.

Yea its been constantly busy all day everyday for awhile now.... considering we opened up in March, we've got customer base, regardless of revscene.

We kind of want it to slow down so we can take a break. Working at 110% everyday is tough. And it's only going to get busier!

Everything is pretty good thats why we only chose to sell those. Some will hate #1 because it's different, but that's the most popular dish by a long mile......

As for the Shrimp/pork rolls.... ya they are good but god damn time consuming to make......I'm considering raising the price just so less people will order them lol... because frikking EVERYONE is ordering it now.

Noooooo dont raise the price

whats the price right now?

$5-6 dollar?



Just a friendly suggestoin


perhaps double the size of the current spring roll, since when i ordered it i feel it was rather small.


Now if you double the size, than instead serving 5-6 rolls on a plate, serve half of it, but double the size. Make the rolls a lot bigger and thicker, that way it has more bite to it.




And if you guys feel getting overwhelmed, perhaps start hiring staffs? not just relying on ur family? otherwise u guys will be tired as hell. Hire staff = longer business hours.
I want to try #1, but #3 is just so good.


im surprise so many of you likes no.3


i like no.1, and no.2 is pretty much the same as no.2, so i know i will like it


however i looked up the ingridient in no.3

pork feet? personally im scared of that shit, so didnt dare ordering it.

Went with traditional pho which was like no.9 or sth forgot

[fliptuner]

i like no.1, and no.2 is pretty much the same as no.2, so i know i will like it


:fulloffuck:


Don't change anything. I hate it when good restaurants get popular, expand (or change owners/cooks) and food quality suffers.

[GG]

but he claims that they are overwhelmed, so i thought it couldnt hurt by hiring a few helpers.


so they can keep up..


i dunno

[jerche]

Wow I did not know this place is that popular...I go to school with one of owners...or owners' daughter rather

Still have not try it out yet but she did say she'll hook me up once I get there lol...more reasons to go now!!

[Obsideon]

I was there yesterday! Got the #2 and #3, I much prefer #3, but next time I drop in I will try #1 and #4! (gotta try the classic BBH!)
The Shrimp Rolls were pretty darn good too!

Hint: If you guys were to open... say late night (after I get off work) then I will be there a lot more often! You guys definitely blow that 24 hour pho on Broadway out of the water haha ;)

Alright, I ain't shitting on Hoi An or anything...

But they're not like OMGWTFBBQ GREAT. What they are is home style Vietnamese food in a commercial setting and for doing that, I appreciate their great efforts. The only reason why ppl say OMGWTFBBQ AWESOME is because the standards are so fucking low in Vancouver (this is the ugly truth). Go to a Vietnamese family bbq/party and you can find this stuff done just as well as Hoi An.

I will definitely return to Hoi An as I enjoyed the food (and the view :fullofwin:) thoroughly. Was there w/ BCRDUKES today and we were reminded of a discussion we had a long time ago about how no Vietnamese restaurant that either of us had been to were able replicable authentic home-style flavours.

lol so that's you, you eyed balled in on your way into the washroom lol.

yea you're right, I keep asking my mom, why do people keep coming in it's just regular food!!

I think it's a few reasons.
1. Mi Quang #1 (no one really sells it and Nammers love it)
2. Mi Cao Lao #2 (no one sells)
3. Bun Bo Tai #3 (rare feel may have a personal opinion that it's mehh but the bulk of our customers are addicted and can't go anywhere else)
4. Modern / Cleanliness (you walk in it doesn't seem like a typical nammer joint.
5. My sisters......

so tired, most of our customers today weren't revscene people too...

this place is good for clean and quiet families who do not like the sound of fucking blenders. Just went across the street at lam hoa quan and it is loud and stuffy but you can not compare the food. Hoi an isn't OMGWTFBBQ stuff but it's homestyle where as lam hoa quan feels like another vietnamese joint but great food *#20 bun ga was it??* . I personally love the mi quang but it had to less of a soup base which made it feel so dry until the very end.
