New Vietnamese Place at U of C

[thesith]

Well over this spring a new Vietnamese place opened in Mac Hall at the Uni. I must say that Oriental Wak (the store next door) isn't too pleased. Instead on huge lines at their store this new Viet store has taken all of their customers at lunch. The food is great and the people are awesome (load up the lunch boxes and sometimes even give u extra just cause ure a regular). Try the store out I think its awesome.

i would rather have vienna deli in there.. now there is chinese food, kobe beef, viet food... with vienna there was another choice hahah

[D'z Nutz]

Yeah, I think the place has been open about a month. Those guys are going to make a KILLING once the regular semester starts. Not necessarily because it's great food (it's pretty average, actually), but because it's new and all the other places are so played out.

[toyboy88]

is this like pho noodles or viet subs? :rolleyes: lol

[Team_Mclaren]

well this thing is, the place is still fairlly new... we'll see its full potential once fall hits

[logix]

it's pho noodles haha, and spring rolls, etc
never actually had the their beef noodle soup tho..

[soupey]

i hear that theres supposed to be some normal stores poppin up in uni, like chain stores...is there any truth to that?

[thesith]

i dunno bout the chain stores but that would be kinda nice and whas up wit the no interact at like any of the places....kiinda sucks

but the viet place is definietly something new soo i dunno just curious to see how it hits wit the population....

[lastskpirate]

well the vietnamese baguettes from vienna are hard to beat...aint that right jonny:thumbsup:

[Despair*]

Thats pretty sweet. Kinda still makes me wish I went to U of C. Mac Hall + Pho, how can you go wrong? :drool:

[A_3]

Pho, Pho, Pho, Pho... :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: , now it will be a toss up everytime i'm feeling some form of Oriental Noodle Dish, Udon or Pho...

I love this place!!

I used to be a regular at Kobe beef, now I go to the vietnamese place all the time. The lady at kobe beef gave me the sad puppy look as I walked by the other day :rofl:

Lol most places tend to give the sad puppy look as you walk by. For the summer classes, whenever I'm there, Orange Julius and that new PHo place have huge lineups and everything else is empty.

Yeah I would've liked Vienna Deli to stay... It was owned by my friend and I got free food every day hahaha... but yeah he had to sell as he recieved an offer he just couldn't refuse...

that new vietnamese (a.k.a. greasy western chinese food) place sucks. bring back vienna deli, at least we had a bit of a choice then. one greasy chinese food place (oriental wok) is MORE than enough. now we have two places both slangin' the same crap. plus, the so-called daily special has been the same thing since they opened - lemon grass chicken. honestly i hope that both of those places go out of business and they put in an indian place or better yet a pizza place, or at least bring vienna deeli back :guns:

The student newspaper mentioned that a Tim Hortons may open up where Primo's/Smash Hit Subs is currently located. It's all a part of Chartwells taking over the Students' Union-operated food joints, which I for one am extremely excited about.

[5hift]

Yeah I hope to god they make some changes because this food court sucks ass. If they did put a timmys in though, it would be like the one at Mt Royal im guessing where they dont serve meals and just offer premade foods and coffee.

I couldn't agree more. Both those are NASTY, overpriced ($6+ for old rice, meat full of veins and fat and skin, and sprouts). You're lucky to score a piece of broccoli or carrot. Not to mention the workers are all disorganized and trip over each other when trying to take orders.

[nambis]

yea privatizing UofC food services is a great move. it will reduce prices, increase quality, and make everyone happy. except those old grannies who made a career out of sitting on their asses working the register at first cup, and who are now complaining about their jobs being downsized.

cheers for chartwells

A few years ago they had a Timmy's in Murray Fraser Hall, where Souplink currently is. They had pretty much all the soups and sandwiches that a regular Tim's would have. The service sucked, tho.

[thesith]

I know what you all mean with the food court sucking...i sometimes cant stand the food that i drive over to market mall and just eat there. Who knows maybe we'll even get a quizno's YUMMM!!!!

[hampstor]

the lineups at that timmy's in MFH was always crazy...

anyone remember the Dehli Deli in MacHall? Did anyone actually eat there?:rofl:

[Official Hoser]

I was talking to a prof who said Delhi Deli was mega-overpriced, which he thought was weird since the ingredients to make that stuff are so cheap (potatoes, peas, carrots, flour).

I never ate there, since there were rumors going around about the food not being too fresh. Also, back then Kobe Beef was waaaay better quality, so I usu opted for that.

Yes, and fuck no. Place was dirtier than kobe beef and the food would stay there for days...

[Mo Squared]

Ahahah ye that place was dirt man....and that viet place is just awesome the pho is great and service is awesome....if you're a regular they give u huge portions just cause they like you, but dont take my word on it try it in fall i think this place is going to do well.

[eb0i]

I will definitely try it out, its about time they have a viet place up in there!

That would be so weak. Like others have said, the Tims in MFH was nationalized by the SU a few years back, and now they're bringing it back? Don't socialists have to have a five-year-plan or something?

Gah. I sure as fuck don't miss all the SU bullshit.

[DarkDream]

Oh man if mac hall ever opens a timmys and if its anything like the timmys at moount royal its going to make tons of money.....

They always run out of donuts and there is a line up there all the time all the way till like 1 or 2....

[2.4l]

hows the beef in the pho? do they jam pack it so you can barley finish the entire soup with some salad shrimp rolls or fried rolls?
if its beef packed im a regular PHO SHO come fall!!! :thumbsup:

[no_joke]

Vienna Deli is gone? Well, there goes any chance of me ever eating at Mac Hall again... Well, outside of Taco Tuesdays. See ya, Vienna. I'll miss the fish and chips, lasagna, freshly made fries, and the Korean guy who never looked like he wanted to be there.

And, yay. The block of crappy Asian eateries is nearly compete. Now, all we need is a Thai place.
