Tomorrow’s Secret Dot Com Pho Location - Cuu Long Restaurant

After a WonderPho Experience at Cambie (Vancouver) Vietnamese Restaurant, the Dot Com Crew moves on to a new location in Vancouver. If you missed out on the drama, much controversy has swirled around the mass exodus to Vancouver from Richmond. John Chow calls this a Dot Com Split after the failure of the Richmond meet, which attracted an inflated seven people versus the true five that attended the WonderPho Edition. There was no video to prove the numbers, but we have it on good authority that John counted immediate family members in this total, which puts the real numbers at three. Since John often goads me about getting my Dot Com Pho videos up faster, the fact that there was no Richmond Dot Com Pho video is a telling tale of what really happened.

We hope John reconsiders his stubborn protest over a fifteen minute drive to Vancouver (vs a five minute drive within Richmond). Sources do say that there are members of the Chow clan that are equally sick of going to Pho Lan every week. I wonder if the change from Pho Lan to Pho Hoa this week in Richmond was in response to this. However, it was John himself that bitched at us for being disloyal and leaving Pho Lan so we are confused by his own move to Pho Hoa, a chain restaurant in Richmond. Even we won’t venture to another Pho Restaurant in Richmond for fear of retribution from Mr. Lan.

Moving forward, this week’s location has been chosen. Located at the corner of Knight and Kingsway, this restaurant called “Cuu Long” is not far from our first superior Pho experience in Vancouver at Pho Thai Hoa. It is also a B-Line directly from Richmond across the Knight Street bridge so we hope to see John this week so we can put an end to this drama. This location meets our criteria with a central location that is easily accessible by transit and parking should be somewhat improved due to the lack of the next door Dim Sum that Pho Thai Hoa parkers had to contend with and the trendier neighbourhood that Cambie (Vancouver) Vietnamese Restaurant is located.

If you want to come out this week, all we ask is that you either leave a comment here or Twitter Me so that we can hold down enough seats to take care of everyone. Despite all the drama, John is still a friend and a dot com brother and we’ll always have a seat saved for him.

See you all tomorrow! :D

See you all tomorrow. Cuu Long comes at the recommendation of BCMblog, so let’s see how it holds up against Pho Thai Hoa.

Wait wait.. B-Line doesn’t go over the Knight st bridge..it goes over the Arthur Lang and up Granville…

If you want to take it from Richmond, you need to get off at King Ed and walk over and hop on the 25 until you get to Knight, then walk down about a block.

It’s more of a B-Line from Richmond for a car, but it is a very transit friendly area. I think there are stops very close to all four corners of that intersection.

Okay, that makes sense. And yea, there are stops all around, it’s on the south-west corner though I believe.

Once again Gdog won’t be able to make it. No, not because it’s not at Pho Lan (number FIF-TEEN!), but because I’m heading to Victoria for the weekend. Have fun guys! Don’t worry I will be back. :)

The reason I never posted a video is because Dot Com Pho is dead. Even if you guys venture back out to Richmond for Pho, you’ll get no video taking or post from me.

Stop trying to make this seem bigger than it is. There is no drama here. Some people didn’t come to Pho in Richmond because it was out of their way. You said you moved it to Vancouver because it’s closer to everybody and that will get more people out. I don’t see you setting any record numbers. And you never will because your blog doesn’t have the reach to do it.

Have fun at Cuulong. I won’t be there.

What the hell are you talking about? I’ve only seen you once at Pho. How do you know this isn’t the real me?

BTW - I told the real Fatal1ty about you. He said he’s going to kick your ass if you keep using his name.

Pssh. The real Fatal1ty is lame. And I think all that Rick Astley is getting to your head.

It was done yesterday. I was just waiting for Tyler to send me the Gadget of the Week segment. The Flip ran out of time. I just finished downloading it, now the video is uploading.

I’m not sure if I could stand watching minutes of people wandering for no apparent reason, but if you quit doing that, then maybe! LOL!
