Take Dot Com Pho Out of Richmond? Yes We Shall!
Posted by Stephen on

Two weeks ago, when we moved Dot Com Pho out of Richmond and brought it to Vancouver, we had no clue what we had started. We only wanted Pho to be more accessible to people by bringing it to a more central location in the lower mainland. As it would appear, we have somehow set in motion, the wheels of a Dot Com Pho Revolution.
This past weekend, we had another out of Richmond experience but came back to our Pho roots and tried a restaurant known as Pho Thai Hoa. This also marked the return of John Chow from his long hiatus at the boring Top Affiliate Challenge where he was kicked out for mischief. Based on the glowing posts from attendees like Michael Kwan, Leo Chiang, Tyler Ingram and myself, it would appear that Pho Thai Hoa is now our favourite Pho place. This was not only motivated by the far superior service and pho, but because of the central location to all Dot Com Pho attendees.
He says that we “peons” won’t be going anywhere and that we should pay him to be in his presence. Well I think the people have already spoken. Take Dot Com Pho out of Richmond? In the words of Cobra Commander, I say “Yes We Shall!”…
Although Pho Thai Hoa is an excellent location, we would still like to audition more places to see if we can make this regular gathering even more accessible. If you know of an excellent Pho establishment that can handle 10 - 20 rowdies every Saturday at around 12:30PM, that is easily accessible by transit, car and even scooter, please let me know either by posting a comment here or by twittering me.
I would also like to invite any restaurants or eateries that meet our criteria, and think that they can deal with us to contact me so that we can come check you out one of these Saturdays. All you have to do is put up with us for an afternoon, maybe give us some great food discounts (I’m Chinese. Have to ask.), and you might end up with a bunch of publicity from grateful local bloggers.
It’s time to “Give You Up” and “Let You Down” Richmond. Dot Com Pho in Vancouver? Yes we shall folks. Yes…we…shall! 
Why isn’t my name in there???
Because you didn’t blog about it?
Back on topic, I think it’s a great idea that you are calling out any local eateries that would like to take us on. It could prove to be the cheapest publicity that they would be able to get, as all of us blog about our lunches on a weekly basis. Imagine how many paid reviews they’d have to order to get the same exposure!

Hey! Saw the vid on JC’s post, thanks for the shout out. iPhone 3G is pretty sweet with the 6gb data plan, hehe.
I am all about having DCP in Vancouver! So much closer for me too! Viva la revolution!
Awesome, finally would be able to plan to go to one. The other Vancouver times have never worked out.

You guys can go for Dot Com Pho anywhere you want. I’ll be doing it in Richmond this Saturday. I’m not saying we can’t go somewhere else in the future. It’s been a while since I saw Lan and I want to see him again. Lan is a friend and you don’t just abandon friends.
You can pal it up with your buddy Lan Sunday through Friday, Saturday we go to Vancouver for pho.
Just cause Lan supplies you for weed doesn’t mean you have to eat there too.

I have other restaurants to hit Sunday through Friday. It’s the curse of eating out everyday.
I don’t mind driving a bit. Everyone else has driven half an hour for the better part of a year or two so it should be my turn eventually to give up my 5 minute drive.
I like round tables too but are they big enough to fit everyone if lots of people show up?

If it gets to that point then we’ll get two round tables side by side, each with a camera
It’ll still be better that one long table.
