You did well during the lunch rush! :D

Not really racist! 07-10-2011 07:34 PM

i was gonna head in earlier.. but dam it was busy LOL

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...

I saw you eye fucking me...lol. You naughty boy.
Luckily, it as going both ways. :gay:


But srsly. Thank goodness someone was able to bring home-style cooking to the masses. Otherwise, I would have had to relied on my cousins whom I see maybe once a year for good nammer foodz.

Honestly though, they were nice and polite and don't just throw the food at your table. Unlike most nammer joints i've been to, I actually felt welcome at yours.

Also, the food is different :)

dlo 07-11-2011 01:21 AM

Lol nopes I don't have a friend named gorden cheng. I was there on saturday around 1 the table of 5 pulled out? Hahaha my persian buddy told me he's been cracking out @ your restaurant like every other day. Too bad I work in tofino, only get a chance to eat pho once a week lol. I can eat bbh/ pho/mi quang everyday!

You guys shud make viet subs also I find that vietnamese restaurants are lacking banh mi! In LA a lot of pho places have their own style of banh mi.

yea you and your buddies go at least 3 times a week, or so my sister says, Jayboogz crew.

my old old restaurant, we use to sell viet subs. so much work to make sandwiches and it's so cheap. barely make any profit.

Cillu 07-11-2011 08:46 PM

All this talk about pho has gotten me hungry. Will definitely check this place out this week!

Jayboogz 07-12-2011 04:35 AM

HahaahaHa what's with the pictures man?! Wtf lol I'm creepstar 101 majin!

Fly what type of noodles do you guys have? I like the thicker bbh noodles

Yeah pho is the best and most affordable lunch you can get hence why we go so often. When I go back to school I think I eat pho atleast 3 times a week lol
