Has anyone tried Pho Kim Long? More important, has anyone noticed the irony of this restaurant's name? My wife and I always enjoy a chuckle when we see their truck driving around the Asian District.

:wink:

i seem to remember seeing a place in town called pho king... -M

I was in there for lunch today. Maybe they should have named it Cho King Long.

Eh, have a Vietnamese friend pronounce pho cuong sometime. Speaking of which Pho Cuong makes the best pho in the city.

I always liked Pho Lien Hoa, but I'll have to try Pho Cuong again. I can't resist advice about soup, from a guy named "Stew".

Pho real? You wouldn't be Pho King me around would you?

Waiting for a Pho/Italian fusion place to open up: Pho-get about it!

We ate at Pho Cuong for the first time on New Year's Eve before the Thunder game and, putting the dirty condition of the restaurant aside, it was absolutely delicious!

I always thought a good name for a Vietnamese noodle house would be...... Un-Pho-Get-A-Bowl

You need to Patent/Copyright/Trademark THAT one, amigo!

(Unlike this one . . . =)

So . . . Miss Muffet decides to try out a spider-free dining location (not counting those deals for dragging stuff out of the wok without all the grease) and wanders into a Noodle joint. She orders something off the menu and after a couple of tentative taste tests calls the waiter/owner over.

"These are the most watery curds I've ever had!" she opines, with a hint of sarcasm.

"Kurds?" replies the server . . . "No, Pho King Whey!")

mmm started it . . . it was mmm . . .

There is a pho/yogurt restaurant not too far from our house in Aurora called Pho-Yo.

If they added some French flair (like Belgian Fries) to the menu, perhaps Faux Pho-Yo?
And then some authentic BBQ, donuts and a souvenier toy in the Kids Meal:
Faux Pho-Yo Yo-Yo Fo Y'All? (now, THAT would be REAL conFusion Cuisine!)

Add a famous cellist (or is he a violin player?) and his mother to the mix and . . . =)

I honestly can't believe that you got involved in a discussion involving noodles. =)
You must listen to NPR/PBS or sumpin' . . . =)

And this is why i have convinced myself that all of my "TAXed/EXTORTED" dollars go to . . .
The Bureau of United States of American Kindness (and acceptance of . . . even snails =)

Snails?! Pho Dat! =)

I teach and about 10 years ago, I had a student named Phuk Yu. I'm not kidding. The u in Phuk fortunately was pronounced as a long u.

BUSAK? Sounds like a noise my cat makes in middle of the night.
RM - I've been a stand-up comic and an etymologist (words, not bugs) for a long time. Ya'll would probably be surprised if you knew the "real me". Hell - I am one of the rare ones on this board who actually understand MOST of what you post! :0

Well at least your student wasnt named Phuk Mi, or they would have a lot of people taking them the wrong way or the right way Sam ting. okay Im leading this away to the main reason about this thread, has anyone ate at Pho King good noodles?

It still sounds funny when you say, "Fook You!"

Lol

Hate to be a nit-picker, but the thread is about Pho Kim Long. =)
(and no, i haven't eaten there either . . . ironically both places are owned by a guy named Sam Ting!)

It's a little known fact that Sam Ting wasn't given that name at birth but was actually named Sam Custino and changed it when he got into the Oriental Noodle game.

RM, you now owe me one laptop screen cleaning. Can't read this one anymore now ... it is covered with soda.

really? . . . then i guess i'll see you in court . . . boullion. =)
(not "you" literally, amigo, because that would border on sort of a cannibal version of pho, but you get the drift.)

I hear that Pho is getting really popular over in The Promised Land . . .
One enterprising self-promoter is really pushing his business with the slogan: "Go Pho Yusef" . . .

Most of their business is of the take-out variety (a bag of dried noodles, some broth and whatever) for you to make at home.
When you order at the counter you have to deal with The Soup Rabbi.
(For some reason, almost nobody ever orders the "calimari" option.)
