I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to write about Pho Edmonds. They are AngryRussian and my favorite Pho restaurant in the world. We come here at least once a week and order the same things mostly every time (well, AngryRussian does anyways). They are a small family-run business located on Edmonds St […]
We had drove by Sing Sing Beer Bar many times before and had always been intrigued by the neon “WE HAVE BEER” sign, so when PrettySis was in town it was an opportunity to go for a quick lunch before heading for wedding dress shopping. Sing Sing Beer Bar was right on Main Street, and when it’s […]
I’ve been on a Bun Bo Hue run lately. It’s all I will order whenever we go to pho, and that’s at least once a week. And it all started with a visit to Cafe Xu Hue. Cafe Xu Hue is a small restaurant on Kingsway. Not exactly hole-in-the-wall, as it’s quite bright and clean […]
It’s been a while since I met up with Fannypack so her birthday was a good excuse for dinner. She suggested Anh and Chi. For anyone who doesn’t already know, Anh and Chi is located where Pho Hoang used to be, and that was opened by the parents of the now-owners of Anh and Chi. […]
One time while driving down Kingsway I noticed the bright awning of Mui Ngo Gai. That led me to the website address they posted on their window. I thought it was interesting that a Vietnamese restaurant that’s not part of a chain would have a website setup. So I logged on to check them out. […]
Wendy was quite excited to spot the transition of Pho Hoa on Kingsway to its new incarnation, Pho Boi: A Taste of Vietnam about a week ago. We agreed to try it ASAP. It seems this chain has its roots in Victoria, so in hindsight that should have been a red flag right there… […]
Miura Waffle + Milk Bar has just moved to its new Main & Broadway digs and they kindly hosted a pre-launch tasting event for the folks who had written about them in the past. Wendy reviewed the old downtown location a while back, so we got an invite and figured this time I could give […]
Update: This restaurant is closed. Wendy and I made an unplanned pit-stop to refuel with a nice big steaming bowl of pho during a recent drive through Vancouver, and Pho Hoang was the first one we passed. The signs on the door were covered in awards from the Westender and four or five Golden Plate […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I LOVE PHO!!!! So when I found a good pho place close to home, I was ecstatic. I noticed that a good pho broth is hard to find nowadays…most places are either not concentrated enough or it’s much too sweet. Maxima seems to have a good […]
DD Mau is a little gourmet banh mi place in Yaletown. I guess its location validates the high prices they charge…in any other regular Vietnamese restaurant, a banh mi is at the most $4.75. Hitman first heard of this place from reading about it in a newspaper, and he was very excited as they offer […]
