Are you talking about the fried or not fried spring rolls? The fried ones are good and I can eat them anytime. The not fried ones I cant eat. It feels like I'm holding a dick in my hand so I sure as hell cant put it in my mouth. It just has a skin like texture.
First off: Pole, that was awesome. Pho King should definitely be a name for these restaurants. Second: Where is a good Pho place around the Galleria/Post Oak? I've never tried Pho, and today seems as good as any.

Pho is good stuff.... I miss Vietnamese food. (we don't have any out here ) I also like the dry noodle bowls (yes, I know they're "Americanized") and the sandwiches... though some of those sandwiches have weird stuff in them. I used to eat this kind of stuff all the time in north Austin. One time I got a sandwich with these translucent rubbery stringy things in them and to this day I don't know what they were.
Pho Binh Trailer is good, but so is Pho Binh on Wilcrest/Beechnut. For Banh Xeo - Bodard on Bellaire and Ranchester makes a great one.
All joking aside, I crave Pho now almost as much as I crave Tom Kha Gai at Kanomwan. And that's saying a lot for me. It really is good stuff. Don't be afraid of the blood cake.
Well, y'all were no help for lunch, so I went with Taco's. Somewhere on this web, there is a discussion from some country titled "what is a taco?"
I like Vietnamese food...i hate pho. hate it. Refman took me to eat it one day. I haven't forgiven him.
Darn it. I would go pick me up some Vietnamese food for dinner right now... except there isn't any in this entire town. It's probably all an hour away. Enjoy it if you have it. When I lived in north Austin, I used to go to places like (Pho Hoang? - at Metric and Rutland) and just order whatever looked good and take it home...
