Bosa 1

Bosa 1
3400 S Jones Blvd, Ste 2A
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 418-1931

With such a wonderfully fobby name, I just had to try it. We were first disappointed by the slightly higher price point as compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area, but most of the time, as long as it tastes extra good, price [...]

Pho Saigon 8

Pho Saigon 8
5650 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 248-6663

After the flavor and texture fail of Pho Village, my fat girl senses sent me searching for a better Pho fix at Pho Saigon 8.

1. Pho Tai – Definitely much better quality of Pho broth. Beefy and satisfying
2. Goi Cuon – [...]

I also stopped in here Saturday after everyone seemed to be liking this place so much. They were raving about the cleanliness of the place. Agreed. They are also commenting on the great service, nice staff, and 10% off the check. Check, [...]

I'm a sucker for Product Branding

Lee’s Sandwiches

8779 Valley Boulevard, Rosemead
(626) 291-2688

As much as I like to say I “hate” chains and their chain food. I’m a big fat hippo. I’m really a sucker for a lot of chain stuff like Olive Garden bread sticks and salad, McDonald’s Filet O’ Fish/ROUND Chicken McNuggets, Papa Johns thin crust pizza and [...]

So, I’m going to skip on my own writing on this because LA Times Food section is more than sufficient for drool worthy imagery. Just read it and drool.

Here’s what we enjoyed:

Yum for me with Banh Mi

SF Las Vegas Supermarket
4801 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas NV
(702) 221-8788

On a quick trip to the Asian supermarket, there was a rumbly in my tummy, so good thing I remembered that SF actually offers one of my favorite snacks/lunch time meals, banh mi (vietnamese sandwiches)! Today, I chose to go “healthy” and ordered the grilled [...]

So, Hue Thai is a Vietnamese based restaurant with a wide variety of not only Vietnamese dishes, but also thrown in are a few Thai and other asian dishes here and there. There is a good variety of drinks. Service is fast and efficient. [...]

MMmmmm… beefy

Pho So 1
4745 Spring Mountain Rd
Las Vegas, NV 89102
(702) 252-3934

It is one of the older Vietnamese restaurants and in my opinion, one of the more tasty and consistent Vietnamese restaurants in Las Vegas. (Of course, let’s not compare to Westminster, please). I decided to not have my usuals of either pho tai or [...]

Pho Kim Long and... hahahahahha

So, after an approximately 6-7 yrs hiatus from Pho Kim Long because it wasn’t anything spectacular back then, I went back to this restaurant for lunch today. Enter into Pho Kim Long: completely remodeled with trendy asian decor. wow. it’s huge! and it’s come a long way since high school [...]
