How does one say "thank you" and "You're welcome" in Vitenamese. I have a lot of Vietnamese customers and am curious?

you can get for 2.50 each and if you buy 5 banh mi they will give you 1 extra.

It is a ripoff. Banh Mi prices usually start at $2-$3.
$7 is highway robbery. It better have some fois gras or some shite in it for that price.

As someone on here who has actually seen both the Banh Mi from Tasty Caisan and the Banh Mi from Little Saigon, the Banh Mi from Tasty Caisan is DOUBLE the size. It is not the TRADITIONAL size.

Logic would thus dictate that it should cost more.

Egg,

He is beyond hope. Just look at last two pages where he used every approach possible to justify his opinion that banh mi in the $7-$8 range is fairly priced.

Everything at Tasty Casian is a bit higher than other places. FWIW, I got pho and a drink last week and it came out to almost $13. It was ok tasting but not worth the money IMO. Any banh mi that is $7-8 no matter the size better be the best I've ever tasted. It shouldn't cost more than $5.

What TC has that others do not is location. Their pho is good, and I don't have to drive 20 minutes out of my way.

They do have the best location. I live only 5 minutes away and eat pho 1-2 times a week, but it's always at Saigon or Pho Quynh.

The folks at Tasty Casian are incredibly nice, but I just don't think the food measures up to what else is out there, and it's the most expensive Vietnamese place I've ever been to.

Are you kidding? Pho at Kim Ahn is 5.99. With drink less than nine bucks.

I have had the pho at most of the places on the WB, but I think my favorites are Tan Dinh and the place in the HK market. I started going to Tan Dinh on a recommendation from my ex and a good friend of mine that are both Vietnamese. Come to think of it, I think I still need to try 9 Roses. I agree that I could eat it every day though. I just cant stop going even when I am full.

Nope I wish I was kidding. It was the most I've ever paid for pho. The pho was avg at best. It was a little sweet which is probably from a seasoning packet they used. It fulfilled my craving for the time being.

I agree their location is great since I live close. That being said, I will probably order from there again because it is close...just not as often as I would if I thought it was great.

I ordered this at the little place off of Florida in the shady looking shopping center (can't remember the name, but it's on the other side of Flroida from Pho Quynh). Anyway, I got the combination but didn't know what was in it because it was all Vietnamese. Next thing I know I had all types of beef, tendon, and random tentacles crawling out of my bowl.

That pho place has the best broth in BR, but I had to eat around all the stuff I didn't like or couldn't chew. It's cash only, and you have to sit next to the cook's kids while they do their homework.



ive been here...I loved it
