YANY Express

If you cook it... they will come. Even if it's in the biggest dump of a strip mall. This rundown strip mall has seen better days... it looked like it was hit by napalm. A sweaty construction crew was repaving the lot though... I love the smell of tar in the midday sun! But something that trivial never stops them from having a impressive display of carnival rides by way of Tijuana.

Located across from Bento Cafe... this joint is more than just Pho. They have an extensive list of beef stew, broken rice, fried rice, assorted noodle soups, bun, stir fried dishes, wacky dwinks and desserts. It would take the stamina of Rambo to try all 119 dishes on the menu.

I order the garbage plate of pho... the Pho Dac Biet, which means "Fuk Dat Bet you fiddy dollar you can't eat it all!"

This pho was most impressive... the broth was incredibly flavorful, rich and delicate. The combo of rare slices of steak, well done brisket, flank tender, fat brisket and tripe was plentiful and better quality than most poo poo pho shacks. Along with the noodles, bean sprouts, jalapenos, limes and other garnishes... it was a feat to smack down this bowl. And it was a SMALL!!! C'mon Gastro, don't die on me!

The pho won out in the end and Gastro ended up doing the Asian squat on the front curb and paying fiddy dollar to the house.

Next time it's double down or you go home now fat boy!

No more food for you! You eat everyting!
