A sad day for pho lovers - GoFuckYourself.com

rip raster · 06-28-2007, 08:10 PM

I was just informed today that the best pho (vietnamese noodle soup) restaurant in my area was sold. I am there at least 3 times a week and have been going there for years. Saturday is the last day for the original owner, the restaurant will be closed for a few days and will re-open next week sometime.
The thing is that they will not be using the same recipe and that is what set it apart from the rest of the pho places around. It had a distinct unique flavour that none of the others could really compare with. It was a recipe that has been handed down for generations, the family have been operating a pho restaurant in Veitnam for over 50 years.
The owner opened this restaurant 17 years ago and says he is tired of working and wants to retire and travel for a while. It's the end of an era.

Some may mock, but I hate it when a restaurant that has become an institution (and that i like!) shuts down.

we actually asked him for the recipe and he just kind of shrugged it off and laughed. He was saying how it's an old family secret and he may open up another restaurant in a few years if he gets tired of retirement

I like the Vietnamese egg rolls best.

Hey bro, long fucking time no see. I'm back in Van on the 3rd of July (just a few days now) we'll have to get together.

Ask to hire him for special occasions

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 06-28-2007, 10:34 PM

Maybe you can get him to invite you over for dinner sometimes...or maybe he has a daughter that knows the recipes that you can marry

You can always try asking him what other Pho shops he recommends.

Otherwise you must embark on a journey in search of Pho nirvana.

Thurbs · 06-28-2007, 11:17 PM

no doubt .. only two good pho spots in all of Manila .. I'd die if they shut down, most of the others I wouldn't even call pho.

Yeah man it's been ages, I was with Fuze last week and he was mentioning that you were coming back soon.

We should definitely get together when you get back. There is a ufc on the 7th of july that we will be watching. So give me a holler when you get back into town if you're interested in watching that and I'll give you all the details.
