I'll need a final head count by Monday evening Feb 17th.
If we have a big enough crowd (18-20+) we should be able to have a private room.

Matt and I found a new Vietnamese place since our favorite closed

Pho Asia

Or what about Whole Hog in Cherry Hill? It?s a BBQ place?

There?s Alan?s Clam Bar in Forked River but that?s a haul.

I decided to check out Greg's suggestion for February's Dub-n-Dine and went to Pho Asia for lunch today. Wow, I was blown away!
Nice inviting clean place, friendly, helpful staff and food that was fresh with bright flavors and obviously prepared with care.

So, Dub-n-Diners, get your passports ready cause we're going to Viet Nam!!   idea\

BYOB

If you've never had Vietnamese food you're in for a treat. If you have, I think you will be pleased.
I'll need a head count by the Monday evening before.

Matt and I will be there!

For those with tame pallets, I?d Suggest the Vermicelli (rice noodles) with your choice of protein. It comes with a fish sauce, that is sweet but it?s always on the side. It doesn?t taste much like fish at all. I usually put a bunch of Siratcha on it which is an Asian Hot Sauce.

You can also do a similar thing with broken rice. Which are the small pieces of rice left over from the larger pieces. Same taste, fun texture.

Matt and I always get the BBQ Pork Summer rolls which are vermicelli noodle, bbq pork and a type of mint wrapped in a glutenous rice wrap... feels weird but it?s good. Served with peanut sauce. Add a little siratacha for for a bit of kick!

When I was there one of the things in my bowl was a BBQ pork or beef (I don't remember) spring roll. It was textured just like a regular Chinese egg roll with a traditional deep fried dough wrapper. It was great!

Ok Dub-n-Diners, our monthly sojourn in search of good food is scheduled for this Thursday evening at Pho Asia in Audubon.

I think this is one you shouldn't miss. The meal I had was great!

I need a final head count so I can let the restaurant know how to set us up.

So far I've got three who have confirmed, plus me, for a total of nine people.

If you plan on attending please let me ASAP. The owner would appreciate a count by tomorrow.

All pertinent information is in the first post above.
Thanks

   We forgot to take pictures I think we were so busy enjoying the outstanding food. =hungry
 
    The service was awesome.  We even had a private room.

   I think we had a total of 15  show up, actually, we had to add another table.

    Lots of food, for a very low price.  I would go back in a minute..

Yes, really nice time.  Good food, good friends, good service and prices. I'll be going back to this one.
I thought of taking a picture before everyone showed up and then forgot about it, too.

Picture this Kodacolor moment in your mind: Greg & Matt, Joe & Cathy, Gigi & Ralph, Anthony & Deena (sp) & Kyle, Robin & Dave, Karen, Carol & Richard all sitting around a big table eating, talking, smiling.... See, who needs pictures?

I'll be sure to get a picture next month.
