have you guys ate at that vietnamese restaurant? the pho there is pretty good, i used to go there and then get boba at the street a few times a week after school.. i love the street's boba though, the strawberry boba there is awesome
Pho over there blows man. I eat pho 4 nights a week. goto the one on Apache or the one on 51stave and peoria.the two best places IMO for pho tai, or spring rolls.
or if you want the chinese restaurant over there is the most authentic Hong Kong style chinese food in the valley besides the new place Golden Buddha(chinese cultural center) yes we have one.

i think its on 51st ave. So far that I've spent my money on frivolously for boba is the Street, on Southern/Dobson. nice sized parking lot to meet up and as well as good easy location to find.
for Pho, I randomly goto where I see one and I'm hungry. I like the one in glendale just like 2 miles south of ASU west. they just changed owners and its pretty good. Lemon-grass chicken, the best chicken/rice plate you can get is the one on apache/mcclintok. The one on warner/dobson (next to lee lees) is okay cleaner IMHO than most but nothing to rave about taste wise. the food is still good but not worth going out of the way for it. Saigon is another place on knox and alma school, small owned by a friend of mine, same as the one next to lee lee's quality wise. Here's how I tell if the Viet restaurant is worth going to again in the future. When I order the Pho tai, I look at the quality/freshness of the Bean Sprouts when they serve the food. BS's are extremely cheap and can be hazardous if not cleaned; if they can't get that portion right then I wonder where the meat comes from
j/k
when writing critiques I'm pretty picky just b/c I've been a japanese chef going on 4 years now Teppan/Sushi, and I go with my sister(consumer marketing specialist for the asian restaurant/bar accounts for Southern Wine & Spirits) and we go all around the valley, basically giving gifts to the clients the asian way,(eating at the restaurant, ordering at least two drinks each, make the restaurant look busy, and tip big.)
That was just to give you guys a background on my opinions, b/c they seem to seem harsh at some times.
Woah ok... that was...long... ok back to boba night.... I vote yes

yeah i drive the S everyday.. i hate putting on miles, but i mean i have to get around.. when im in tempe its usually because of ASU and just hanging out down there and eating. and peoria and glendale i'm always there because la fitness with my friends and most of them live around there, and there's nothign to do in goodyear except come home and sleep =) but i definitely think meeting up for boba would be awesome, i love boba, although it gets expensive getting it all time. but definitely we should choose the street, they have the best boba imo.
