There is a good place for Pho on Davies St. downtown. I just can't remember the name. That place is always packed.

Too bad this place isn't there anymore.

I eat a lot of pho at a lot of places, and the best I've found is Pho Hong on the north side of Kingsway at 5975, just east of Imperial. They have another location at 6348 Fraser at 47th that I've not been to.

James Barber used to say the one on the east side of Main at around 21st was the best in town, but this was many years ago (he's been dead for quite some time). I found the food extraordinary, although the place was often severely in need of a thorough cleaning. I'm not sure the place is even there any more.

There's one at Crystal Mall, Willingdon at Kingsway that has a wider variety than most. I think it's called Green Bamboo, and it's not in the mall, but there is a street entrance off of Willingdon, across from the gas station. It's quite tiny and it is often hard to find a table during the lunch hour.

By the way, it's not pronounced FOE, but rather the way a British person would say "fur."

Pho Hong used to be my favorite but I haven't been there for almost a year. Their soup is not as good as a few years back and lack of consistency.

I now days go to Golden express on Kingsway and Joyce, where the London Drug is located. I foudn their soup is always hot. Also, this place is open 24 hrs. It is good to go there after hockey game or pooning. However, keep your eyes to yourself and don't look around too much especially at night. I have seen some scary ppl there around 3am ...

It's actually Gold Train Express. They say they're open 24-hours, but several times I've found the door locked at around 7 am. They've just opened another location on Kingsway between Wilson and Olive called Pho 24 Express.

Beef stock with rice noodles and other stuff thrown in. Though I'd never eat it myself you could make it at home to a good standard pretty easily I think. Just chuck it all in a pot and heat, noodles go in near end of cooking time.

The trick is finding a good butcher to provide the tripe and tendon.

Eww. Seriously Eww. Even when I still ate meat Eww.

LOL

Sorry, can't say that's anything I was ever tempted to try.




Eva, does that place you mentioned, on Commercial, make vegetarian Pho? Or just other vegetarian options on their menus?

I read about a Pho place in the Georgia straight a few months ago that apparently has vegan pho on their menu. I've been really curious but haven't tried it yet.

This thread is making me hungry.:nod:

My personal favourites are,
1) Thai Son - 3 locations to choose from, Richmond, Vancouver and near Chinatown. I don't go there for the soup noodle Pho but I like their rice dishes and dry vermicelli dish.
2) Pho Hong - Kingsway and Imperial. Used to really like it. I still do but they went downhill slightly for the last few years.
3) Phnom Penh - Excellent food, not necessarily Pho. Too bad it is a bit far out for me but at least still within reach of the skytrain and a 15 minutes walk.
