I don’t get why there has to be booze. Try some of the Vietnamese coffee or some tea.

oh, and I ate at Pho Viet once and thought it was ok. I think Pho 14 is significantly better.

I tried Pho DC last week — it was ok, not as good as Pho 14. Too expensive for Pho. HUGE servings with lots of meat (too much imo), but still too much $$ for Pho.

Because Asian spots are often the only restaurants open on Christmas day. And, until relatively recently, Chinese restaurants were the ONLY Asian restaurants.

I’ve often wondered, where did the Jewish tradition of going out to dinner at a Chinese or otherwise Asian restaurant on Christmas originate? Just about everyone I know who is Jewish does this with their families!

sorry I came to this post late, but they don’t have tripe. What’s with that.

Maybe they don’t want to deal with people drinking in their tiny restaurant. I’ve never understood the desire to drink with Pho. There’s enough liquid sloshing around in my belly by the end of the bowl.

Sorry, not fan. I once called and ordered something for delivery; this was BEFORE they implemented the rule of 1 mile delivery radius. I am 1.2 miles from their location according to popular online map/directions sites. It took them 2.5 hours to deliver the food.

So thought it was a fluke, everyone has a bad day, so let’s give them another try. They refused and gave that 1 mile delivery radius BS. “Fine,” I told them, “I’ll take my business elsewhere.” So Pho-k them. From that moment on, my pho business goes to Pho 14.

“Do you need a special BYOB license in DC?”

No, you just need a liquor license. No license, no booze on premises.
