The Battle Pho/Faux Kingsway & Fraser

POSTED December 6, 2009 BY Boon Kondo
Tweet

Went down (on a couple occasions) like:
“You know that restaurant on Kingsway & Fraser, les Faux something?”
“Hell yeah, Pho Van!”
“No, no, not ‘pho.’ ‘Faux.’”
“Oooooh!”
pho-van
faux
PHO VAN
3370 Fraser Street (off 18th), Vancouver

    Have u ever gone to a Pho place any tried to pronounce it the right way, ‘fa’, and they have no idea what your saying so you say it the wrong way and they get it??

  • http://shootyouintheface.com Trevor Broad

    makes me feel so white

  • Boon Kondo

    Trevor, let my man Phuc Dat Bich on youtube tell you how to pronounce it.

    Btw, speaking of feeling (Molson style) white, seems like the staff at les Faux are France French and not Quebecois? Anyone confirm?

  • m!

    Anyone remeber Pho Bich Nga? On Kingsway and Victoria.
    Best ever.
    I never ate there, but I laughed everytime I drove by.

  • Boon

    Of course, PBN is simply a Vancouver legend. I think it even may have made something like Leno’s funny signs thing or something like that.

    I actually drove by the old spot before takin the pic of les Faux and thought that do we ever need a post on it.

  • Jef Choy

    Funny how the ‘fook yu’ never really made it big….
