Dot Com Pho - The Insult [Ed] Edition…
Posted by Stephen on
July 13, 2008
The move out of Richmond has been a great success, attracting people who might otherwise not come to Dot Com Pho at all. For example, even the elusive Jeff Kee came out this week and we’ve had interest from “The Buzz” himself to attend, thanks to the more convenient locations that we’ve started choosing. Hopefully he’ll be done building his deck in time for the next one. Richmond is a scary place to drive and there’s really no good reason to go there anymore when Dot Com Pho can be had in a much safer, and more convenient, location. Not to mention, nobody lives there anymore…except John Chow.
Highlights of this weeks’ episode include a look at the spread at Pho Thai Hoa, a generous ribbing of Ed Lau, and we even get to see one of the first MSI Wind’s in Canada. Oh, and something about John Chow doing another giveaway with Market Leverage. Enjoy the Video!
See you all next week for another exciting episode of Dot Com [fill in the blank]. We don’t know where we’ll be, but it won’t be in Richmond that’s for sure! Stay tuned to this blog for our SECRET LOCATION or just follow me on Twitter.
Comment originally posted on John Chow dot Com, regarding what he calls a “disaster” of a Dot Com Pho. John complains of small tables.
I don’t think we were expecting you to bring your whole family with you, because for the last couple of weeks before you went to Nebraska, you came to pho alone. After getting that sorted out, the numbers actually worked out just fine for the table. It was a little cramped, but no more cramped that Pho Lan.
I prefer the roundtable format, because it’s more conducive to everyone being involved in the conversation with everyone. I also like that it only takes me 5 minutes to get there compared to the half hour it takes to get to Pho Lan.
It’s the battle of the dot com moguls. Will John Chow or Stephen Fung succeed in determining the location of next week’s pho? Could we be seeing TWO “official” locations?
Not to mention that the food was way better.
Agreed! The food was pretty awesome at Pho Thai Hoa.

And you doubted my recommendation. *rollsyes* Believe me when I say that I know my pho.

Okay there Mr. Get There Early. Good thing I didn’t decide to wander in too. Then we’d have nowhere to sit. While I was squatting that table waiting they made a lot of people wait. Some people left. That place is busy…for a reason: Good food and not in Richmond!

Pfft. I still got there before most other people. On time is better than late. Gimme some credit.
Okay, props for getting there on time. No props for being early like you said. Is being on time the new early?

That table was perfect…until I got a call from him saying he was bringing FIVE. This is right when I got there. Even with a couple dropins, we made that table work, though it was unfortunate that his family had to grab a table on the outer ring.
I think John needs to give people more credit. They aren’t stupid enough to drive out to Richmond when Dot Com Pho can be had at a location that is convenient and close to where they live. Even if John drove out, it would only take him 15 minutes, compared to the hour to half hour that everyone else had to endure to come to Richmond.
It’s a done deal: Dot Com Pho in Vancouver is here to stay!

You can do Dot Com Pho anywhere you want. I’m doing it at Pho Lan next Saturday.
I read John’s post on this first so it is interesting to hear the other side of the story as well:)
How about Dot Com Tandoori ?
Saffron Indian Cuisine in Burnaby - Great Lunch Buffet.
That’s a really good suggestion Tej. We haven’t done Tandori in a while. We’d probably want to avoid a buffet because we wouldn’t really be able to eat together as people keep leaving to get more food.
Do they do just regular dining? If they could accommodate like 10+ people, I think that would work. Then we can have you out there too.
