  • you forgot to put the sauce hoisin and spicy sauce in your pho (I`m not good at english ^^)

  • PHO GAH lol

  • yOu RoCk BrO!

  • Pho in Vietnam only 1 $ ^_^. I eat everyday

  • i really like your videos, you have a good sense of humor and willing to try different things, that's awesome!

  • so many haters here lol what is wrong with these people. I really enjoyed this video!! Now I really want to eat Vietnamese food! Specially PHO.!

  • @KingDcome11 Yeah, I don't fully understand all the haters to be honest. (Although I address this in an earlier comment, like two or three below this one.) One theory: Asian folks just want to be left alone. Chinese, Vietnamese, whatever, they just don't want any white folks checking out their stuff. Which seems somewhat COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE to owning a business, you know? Wouldn't you make more MONEY if white folks AND Asian folks ate at your restaurant? Just a theory.

  • @FoodDudeSF Like I said, the important thing is that the people who own Them Ky are very happy with the exposure this video has brought them, and the additional business. And, for what it's worth, I'm all for cultures mixing together, especially when it comes to FOOD! In NYC there is a whole category of restaurant called CHINO-LATINO, run by Chinese folks with ties to CUBA!! Damn fine eating!

  • @FoodDudeSF I think it's the opposite. These people insulting you are not Asian ( at least not Vietnamese ) . They don't like asian food and probably think you should stick to your own food. I know Vietnamese would be proud to hear you speaking wonders of their food!!

  • @FoodDudeSF I don't think its that asians dont want white people in their restaurants, it's that they get offended with backhanded compliments such as it looks funky, sounds bad but taste good, as an american I suggest this, ect and close mindedness such as not giving a dish a try (tripe).

    I understand youre not a cross cultural expert but agree some hating is uncalled for.

  • @FadedFromWinter Ladies! Ladies! please no! no! you girls are getting too work up but thanks for correcting me you are a fruit cake muahahaha... dumbass!

  • You can't related pho to a roast beef sandwich. Cmon. Really..?

  • This guy needs to quit.

  • Stop dissing the guy! He's trying to find you a good restaurant, and all you guys do is moan and bitch about him not being Vietnamese. Lay off.

  • @YoutuJ3eJ3lows Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I knew the risk when I put these videos up. Inevitably, if you put yourself out there to the public, there's going to be some people who will attack for no apparent reason. Here's the good news: the people who run this restaurant? They love me. They won't let me pay for my meals anymore. This video has, categorically, undeniably increased their business substantially. So, let the haters say what they will, I don't mind. Cheers!

  • @FoodDudeSF Awesome! Free food FTW!

  • @FoodDudeSF By the way my mom grows "Gai Lan" in her vegetable garden in the summer, and she stir-fry it really good. It's called "菜花" ("Tsai Hwa") in China, and it grows out of bok choy as flowers :O

  • @FoodDudeSF but you called it funky?

  • @GirlFlower529 Yes, in the sense that it's not a "fine dining" restaurant. If you were meeting a guy there for a blind date, it's not exactly what you would call impressive looking. Also, the neighborhood it's in is one where you don't have to walk far to buy drugs or find prostitutes. This has NO BEARING on the food, mind you, but some people might find the setting a bit, yes, "funky."

  • @FoodDudeSF oh wow. I guess that's kinda of a bad place to put a restaurant

  • This stuff looks amazing. I think I'd go with the rare steak and brisket. Though I've always been curious about tripe.

  • hey food dude you suck

  • @plowthor lol dude this guy is trying to help promote restaurants in s.f, why u hatin?

  • Everyone on here are critics or something? He's doing a fine review, nobody really cares if he mispronounces a little, he's not Vietnamese. Stop being a bunch of hypocrites, I'd like to see you guys do a food review this detailed.

  • a idiot promoting asian food how awesome!

  • @Xiong0501 it's actual "AN" idiot, not "A" idiot, but other than that your comment was spot on. thanks!

  • @Xiong0501 "a idiot?" you're the idiot.

  • if you visit vietnam , you can eat " pho " at " Phở Lý Quốc Sư " it's good

  • @SuperVNMan Thanks for the tip! I definitely look forward to visiting Vietnam. I'll let you know when I do, maybe you can offer some more suggestions.

  • A dumb ass who is picky and is affraid of food, wow....

  • There's nothing better than Home Cook Pho, But I would much rather drive down to San Jose than going to SF to have Pho..

  • This guy is a wannabe Anthony Bourdain

  • he drinking bubble tai tea!! MY FAV.!!!

  • Whatevar Hahaha....

  • Gai Lan: Celery (I forgot my mom forgot to so l just said it)

    Imperial Rolls:Spring Rolls,Leaf mint,Cabbage,Cumber,white thin noodles,and white and orange corrts with fiah sause

    Pho Ga:Noodle chciken

  • Im,vietnemese and I <3 to eat pot spicy noodles,wonton soup and also pho!!!!

  • @1910tammy Well, I'm NOT Vietnamese, and I LOVE <3 to eat it, too! So it just goes to show you that

    good food transcends borders, race, and national identity. If it's tasty, everyone can enjoy it: black/white/brown/yellow or anything in between! Thanks for the comments.

  • I cannot wait to visit VN and have some genuine Pho. $2 sounds like a righteous price. Until then, I'll just have to keep going to Them Ky. Thanks!

  • It costs you only $2 for a large bow of Pho in VN. You should add sauces to your bowl it's better ^^

  • i love pho very much :D but this kind of pho is not the original kind :D if u want to taste the original Pho, come to Vietnam :D

  • Yes! The Gai Lan is awesome, and not listed on the menu anywhere, you have to ask for it, but it's totally worth it. They usually do it with Oyster Sauce, but I prefer mine with garlic. This place is great - seriously. If you're in The Bay Area / San Francisco you should definitely check them out. Enjoy!!

  • :-) Gai Lan LOOKS GOOD& I WANT SOME PHO ! (-:

  • You have the BEST job ever! 

  • @SueJungle

    True. Now, if I could just figure out how to get someone to PAY ME FOR IT, it would be ideal!

  • how could you call yourself a foodie, if you can't even bear tripe? c'mon man!

  • @aprilswo

    You are right. I stand before you, ashamed, humiliated. Organ meats, head cheese, offal, etc., have never been my strong suit. Pigs knuckles either, for that matter. But, I'll try to be a little more open-minded in future episodes, I promise.

  • jewish people knows good food :D

  • you suck dick.

  • This guys a fucken moron

  • wow, im vietnamese but i dont know pho is THAT complicated:|

  • I'm Vietnamese and i loveeeeeeeee pho

  • this video is too much shine bad for the eye.. those new model flat TV.. Flat tv are not normal.

  • Very informative, thank you

  • bowl

  • and the way we eat nem - spring roll in Viet Nam, we do not include bun-vermicelli but only herbs when wrapping like you. We do eat with vermicelli, very popular, in that case, we won't wrap and roll but use a bow

  • dude thank you this channel is exactly what ive been looking for

  • This looks so freaken good. I use to eat this all the time. And I still do occasionally till this day. And I"m NEVER sick of it! Vietnamese food is gold in my book!

  • I love viet food. There is 500 recipes of Viet food. I eat so much but I am always slim. It's great for a woman

  • if you eat pho you need to add in all the sause and vegetable in the bowl is the right way to taste... .

  • This seems to be a very nice place serving good food :) M hungry!

  • pho is good, try banh mi viet sanwich is very very delicous!

  • GUYS AN ASSHOLE! THESE ARE HARD WORKING FAMILIES THAT PUT EVERYTHING INTO THERE BUSINESS AND HE DISRESPECTS THEM.

  • one word. DOUCHE

  • @saigontoiyeu he looks like he eats too much...fat hairy honkey

  • I want to give him a Banh Mi knuckle sandwich!

  • wow oh deliciuez

  • DUDE! learn how to say "Vietnamese"

  • those asian ppl should just kick u out but they proably wont becuz us asians are nice unlike u douche bag

  • @204cutiepie speak for yourself....id dunk his fat ugly jew head in the pho ....now you know why asian girls who date whites are dirty scum bags

  • @tednguyen lol........

  • I wonder what would the "food dude" think if I say that Jewish foods suck-balls (because they really do).

  • Hehehe, It's not tendon man. It's cow stomach! hahaha.

  • I'm unsubscribing

  • I like the review, but i dont think you should insult the resturands looks, it looks pretty fine to me.

  • damn.. 6.45 for that.. i pay almost the same and i get a bowl that is half that size :( damn...

  • Phở Việt Nam thật tuyệt :))

    "P" "H" "Ở"

  • whats the wrong with eating vietnamese food huh its a free country hello this is america no duh they call it a free dom dumb a ss that are saying stuff un like this and that and shit about other country then go back where you come from and iam from america so deal with it bichs any ways i agree with ducbitoi82

  • you actually have tripe & tendon mixed up.

  • I love Vietnamese ppl but good ppl in general. This guy overall is complimenting Vietnamese food. Anyone who doesn't get it is a fucking disgrace to society for your ignorance and lack of attention. That's how your mom gave birth to you in the first place. There is a traditional way to eat pho unless you don't know. Eating it wrong is like eating a burger bun first before starting on the pattie, veggies, etc... it really doesn't matter cuz you will just eat your crap that you'll shit out anywz

  • EAT LIKE A DUMBASS BITCH! LMFAO.

  • @CherMakesItRain You're suppose to slurp, it's disrespectful is you don't in Asia, or genuine Asian restaurants.

  • @YoutuJ3eJ3lows That's not true but sure.

  • @CherMakesItRain Actually, it is, especially in Japan. If you don't slurp, you're disrespecting the chef. It's like in other places, if you don't praise good food, the chef will think you don't like it.

  • @YoutuJ3eJ3lows Uhm no, it's not. I've been to lots of Asian restaurants and they do not expect others to slurp to enjoy the food. You do whatever the hell you want with the food you pay for. And yes, I am Asian myself. Does that makes us disrespectful or non-genuine? No.

  • @CherMakesItRain I'm Asian too, and I don't really care what you do, as long as you don't diss the place for the food publicly. Of course the chef will think you do not like it if you are not eating the food like you're enjoying it. You don't have to bitch about the guy eating his food like he's enjoying it, I'd slurp the shit out of that noodle. And when you said "us", are you referring to Asians? Because I am Asian, but I do not agree with you.

  • @YoutuJ3eJ3lows Us as in Asians people that don't have to slurp to enjoy it or whatever meaning behind "slurp" that we so called HAVE to do. Me bitching about it? As you are now? Oh. Okay. And you don't have to agree with me as I don't with you. Upload something, expect comments. Bad and good but sure...I'm probably not going to sit here and go back in forth about your opinion and my opinion. So good day.

  • @CherMakesItRain And your opinion was this guy being a "dumbass bitch"? Please. If you're going to complain about the guy enjoying his food, then at least point out what he is doing wrong, and no, slurping is NOT the problem. I don't care if people slurp or not, but it is disrespectful in Japan and various Asian countries, not my problem if they get caught up with the chef.

  • dude I aint Vietnamese but I am pretty sure they could care less how you eat it as long as you paid

  • All you Vietnamese bashing this guy are making a disgrace for Viets. You guys are so hostile about everything from your country. So what do you want him to say ? That this place is so beautiful, even the Obama must love it ?? Give me a break, there are better Pho restaurants around US. Open your mind, don't be an asshole. Can't you be anymore respectful ?

  • there is no traditional way to eat pho

  • @nguyensongminh239 you are right there is no traditional way to eat pho

  • ill pass on eating in the tenderloin 

  • Man, all this food is making me so hungry!!!

  • btw, this guy is recomending this food to other westerners not frigen fobs and full blooded viets, so stfu

  • give this westerner a frigen break, im vietnamese, i dont give a shit if he called this place lower class or anything, hes praising it for how great the food taste and how much is cost at the same time, apreciate his open mind asshole

  • Food Dude is an idiot!!

  • hey food dude! go PHO-CK yourself!

  • o the way my family eats pho is tht we squirt hoisin sauce into our pho soup then we mix it around with our noodles and soup.

  • Thats totally not the traditional of eating PHO, and there arent any traditional way aswell...

  • Vietnamese food is the best in the world i think, especially is Pho.

  • i go to college in Pittsburgh and no vietnamese restaurants and i am hungry right now so bad i could eat the whole restaurant.

  • I cant wait to visit Vietnam., I love the food and the people are so nice. FoodDude you eat like a pig..lol

  • i'm viet and he said it fine x D who cares

  • sorry dude da vang in phx kicks ass all ova that place, p s vietnamese food is great and cheap DO NOT BLOW IT BY EXPOSING  THATS FACT

  • Chinese food suck. only white people like it. Chinese food make me puke, but Vietnamese is very good

  • uh huh.. where u dink vietnam got most its food from? they even use a chinese name

  • @wassupmanG what food that is Vietnam that come from China???

  • egg roll, rice cakes, PHO. nd i know pho is like the shit in vietname so yea think about the influence the chinese had on many other countries too

  • yeah thats right

    some dishes come from china such as for Pho. but Pho has an its own flavor, its vietnamese!!! you cant say that its chinese food, its just the same kind of noodle soup.

    and yes, in Vietnam we call some chinese food in chinese too. why not??? why dont people in europe or in america translate the word Sushi in their languages??

  • @monkeyboiz1 It's because Vietnamese food in America are authentic food whilst Chinese food in America are fake shit.

    I'm Chinese and trust me Chinese food in China taste really good. In fact Northern Vietnamese cuisine are very similar to Chinese food

  • @monkeyboiz1 Maybe that's because you've been eating Americanized Chinese food. Genuine Chinese food could be just as good as genuine Vietnamese food.

  • I just ate, and I am already starving just watching this.

  • If you don't PHO, you're crazyyyy! Because its sooo fucken good!

  • i think you don't like to eat Pho...

  • cool video! come by and check out my page...i am new to youtube!

  • How does the restaurant look bad?

    this guy is such a jewish douche bag.

  • I love cai lan, I love pho, I love Vietnamese food.. and of course, I am Vietnamese \d/ Miss VN :(

  • Vietnamese food taste great! Cos im vietnamese!

  • It's NOT mint...it's Chinese Basil....

  • he dont know how to eat Pho. because he didn't add black sause or Li kum Kee, into bowl.

  • yea black sauce makes it good

  • try tripe. it's good

  • anyone who doesn't at leat try vietnamese food once in their life is sure a big loss in experiencing a delicious cuisine. just the fact vietnamese food gotta be one of the most delicious food in the world.

  • Hmmm i am vietnames

  • pretty  good video

  • Now I want to eat Pho Bo.

    The dude annoys me though. The restaurant looks perfectly fine.

    I'm not Viet, actually I am caucasian, so I also have a bit trouble with the pronouncation of VN language. They have so many tones, it's a bit difficult for me to learn :)

  • it looks good but he's eating it wrong lol. put all em stuff in it 1st not dip it when with just lil sauce hahaha funny shit but it looks good tho even better when the juice is red with all em sauce n greens n dont forget pepper too yummy!

  • mmmm i want some banh xeo and banh hoi..yummy!

  • yummy~!<3 :]

  • and if you wanna get any pho anywhere look for a store called PHO DO BO

  • i love the vietnamese food like the fried rice with meat dont buy that uncle ben crap waste of money i got the fried rice for $5.00

  • pho rock !!!!

  • haha Mcdonald oil

  • dude the restaurant looks fine inside and out. wtf are you complaining about?

  • Comment removed

  • wow..this food guy is a douche bagg

  • he looks like a street homie

  • THIS GUY DOESNT KNOW SHIT

  • I love pho

  • Its so Cheap!!!!!!

    And good!!!

  • This "food dude" seems pretty disrespectful. Calling the place a dive seems unfair...The place looks very clean and organized. The staff seems courteous and acomodating.

    I hate these annoying psuedo foodie hosts with an unknown culinary background trying to be "down with the people".

    Seriously, go fuck yourself.

  • Also, that sauce he dipped the imperial roll in is not JUST fish sauce. It's actually a traditional vietnamese sauce with white vinegar, garlic chili sauce, sugar and a small amount of fish sauce with a little bit of carrot and daikon floatingon top.

    If you dipped that roll in a bowl a fish sauce it would probably be indedible to most people. I'm surprised a self proclaimed "food dude" would know that.

    Asshole.

  • next time tell us what the name of that fishy sauce!!!

  • @plowthor your kind of an idiot

    when he used the word dive, he meant the poor neighborhood, and even said that the food in the restaurant was delicious..

    so you go fuck your self, you prejudice fuck, when you try to criticize other people for being racist, you only make your self look like an asshole being racist about their own culture saying shit like fat burger, kind of disrespectful

  • @plowthor hes talking about his ugly jew mom...they call them dives...hitler knew how to take care of those loud mouth jews....

  • i'm in Vietnam so i don't know if Them Ky has Hue noodles(Bun Bo Hue) because it's like pho, but more delicous. It might be a bit spicy

  • @hoasnow1997 it's totally different Pho.

  • acutally i don't think it's traditional to take the noodle, broth, veggies and all that and put it on the soup spoon like that.. it takes too long. vietnmaese people take a bite of their noodle, grab a piece of meat and mint and then dip it and eat it, then slurp some broth from the spoon. :)

  • pho has to be my favorite food of all time...even after a hang over...hahaha...

  • ahh,i love pho (:

  • good show u got going...

  • OMG!!!! That food looks sssssoooo GOOD!!!!
