UYE Event at Pho Garden

Thanks to Charlton L for planning the event! And to Brandon for being a great host!
We ate as if it was our last meal on earth. Seriously… the food kept coming and we kept on eating (see Janice C. and David B.‘s reviews for the food). Like David said, we thought we’d be getting phở, but nope… Charlton wanted to stuff us till we popped! Nobody wanted to try the Phở Challenge, but I think Janice could do it… that girl can eat!
The food was delicious and the service was great. They have a few large tables, so it was great for our party of 10.
I think we ate for 2 hours straight and we only ended up paying $ 15 a person!!! Thanks again Brandon and Charlton!

That Charlton L!
He really knows how to find the best place where we can trim our costs, but not the fun, for our UYE.
Brandon, the owner, was such a hospitable host and got us great deals for our party. I won’t go into details but he was more than generous and our bill roughly came to about $ 15 a person! I was shocked!
You’d be shocked as I was because the dishes we had were:
1. Fresh spring rolls filled with shrimp, noodles, lettuce with a thick peanut sauce.
2. 7 courses of beef. Right. Seven!!! dishes ranging from beef carpaccio, beef hot pot style or grilled then wrapped into rice paper with lots of veggies and dipping sauces.
3. Grilled 5 spice chicken and porkchop
4. Porridge which I loved!
5. Che — three bean colored drink for dessert
6. Fried banana with ice cream — I think I’m gonna have to come back and do this dessert challenge instead of the phở challenge! LOL!
7. Bun rieu (sp?) — this wasn’t on the menu, but is similar to phở made with crab broth, rice noodles, fried tofu, bean sprouts and shrimp. That broth was super tasty!
Everything was wonderful and I couldn’t have been more thankful to share a feast with the Unilocal crew! Man, you guys can eat!
Some people weren’t able to make it, but I’m sure there’s another one coming up soon. Hope to see you next time!
