I haven't been to Kim Phung in a long time but their pho is good. Thanks for reminding me. I forgot about that place. As for Bao Chau, I personally don't think it's that good. Compared to Le Petite Saigon, I always have to chug down endless glasses of water and their spring rolls aren't even that great to be really honest. Pho Van - a Vancouver institution. It's too bad Mr. Van sold the one in Chinatown. I grew up in Chinatown so my parents would take me to Pho Van every now and then. The only one he has left is the one on Fraser.

Seems like me and you have quite similar tastes. My mom used to take us to Pho Van all the fuckin' time cuz it was kick ass. We'd order che ba mao and other stuff. I'm not a big fan of Bao Chau either, the time I had it it was nothing special and super loaded with MSG. I absolutely miss the old Le Petite Saigon, I loved that place dearly.
I didn't know there was still a Pho Van around. Gotta check out that place.
I'll ask my parents about the Southern vs Northen Pho...since my dad is from the north and my mom from the south and see what I can get out of them.
