I stopped in the other day to say hi and to see how construction was going. The potato peelers are heavy-duty, as advertised Friendly guys, too, and it randomly so happened that I ran into an old family friend as well. Good times--highly looking forward to opening day (Jan. 16, 10AM).

Posting to register my interest. I, too, am holding off on RSVPing until I figure some things out, but it sounds like a fantastic time. What to bring, what to bring.

The new Little Saigon has been open for a few months now, and I lament that the service hasn't improved in that time. The food is delicious, of course, but I'd only eat there at lunch, or early in the evening--when the dining room is sparsely populated, it's much easier to grab your waiter. Oddly, LS is one of the few restaurants I've found nonverbal communication with the waitstaff (my "waiter fu" ) to fail.

I just came back from Binh Duong with my parents. Delicious pho. I had the 'special' (assorted beef bits); next time I'll order the extra-large. I ordered the vaunted shrimp-pork salad, which was damn tasty though not as *incredible as past posters might have you believe. Would order again however. The service was a tad sketchy--dishes were delivered in short order, but I didn't get my Vietnamese coffee. Still, a bowl of pho has to be the most delicious five-dollar meal you can get in the US. I'll be going back to Binh, and often.
