    What: Once a month we'll pick a pho restaurant for us to try. Eventually we'll find out who has the best pho in town.




    Date: Saturday January 10th
    Time: 4pm
    Location: the old University buffet building.
    225 University ave
    St. Paul, 55103

    Anyone is welcome to attend.
    I would need a head count and how many people you wil be bringing to reserve the correct seating for us.

    All the new dates and time will be updated in this thread.


    What is Pho? The best pick me up soup for any occasion.

    I can tell you Cheng Heng's pho isn't the best, but they do have some other delicious dishes. Just sayin'.

    Would like to try and make this also, but with a 2 year old it gets pretty interesting since they don't always sit still. LOL And I see that there is only 1 kid that came to the Pho event and I don't think he is 2.

    I'll handraise. Besides, it's the day after payday for some folks.
    Kongzilla, could you get us reserved for the room in the back?

    Don't worry, they got high chairs.

    I'll call Kevin and setup 2-4 days out when I get a confirm count.

    From the looks of his huge smile and ambition to make it into the pics, i would have to agree!

    Pete's minion on the otherhand looks unamused.

    I love Pho! Sad that I'm not more local to the group. :( Perhaps the next one will be lucky enough to land on the time I come pick up my finished car from Nuke! Fingers are crossed... :)

    If I'm in town I'll be there. Possibly +1 unless it means I'd have to drive/ride in a subaru there ;)

    So... the event is still 11/3 but you won't be able to attend? Let me know if you need a hand with anything. Not that it's rocket science, but if someone has to show up early/etc I can help. I won't have the wife and kid in tow so I can actually get from point A to point B on something resembling a schedule.

    damn, i totally want in.

    although in my opinion, the pho tour should start at New Mandarin in Coon Rapids. And every single month, should be at New Mandarin in Coon Rapids.

    Simply the best pho I have ever had ever. Evar.

    Thanks to the folks who made it out!

    It was a smaller group tonight, but better pho. I liked the broth here a lot more. Doesn't hurt that they garlic bombed it either.
