Good Pho in Williamsburg: Chez Trinh


One of my favorite foods in the world: a hot bowl of Pho.  Yum.  I haven't been partaking in this deliciousness very long, having first tried it at a place called "Just Pho" in Athens, GA less than a year ago.  I would pretty much drag Haley or co-workers to Just Pho once or twice a week.  

Since moving to Virginia, I have tried a couple of Vietnamese restaurants, tying to replace one of my favorite places to eat.  Unfortunately, after 3 attempts (2 in Richmond and one in Charlottesville), I was left thinking that maybe I was doomed to give-up one of my favorite foods.  I cannot confirm it, but I am fairly certain that the place in Charlottesville served me slices of Oprah's ass cheeks floating in toilet water.

Finally, all of my searching has been rewarded.  Being a "holiday Friday" as well as pay-day, Haley and I decided go out to eat tonight, which of course means leaving West Point (unless we want Hardee's or the local Scottish restaurant McDonald's).  I used the information superhighway to find that nearby Williamsburg had a decently reviewed Vietnamese place called Chez Trinh.

I am not a "foodie," I'll leave that to my better half, so I will let the pictures tell the story.  It's a good story, one that I call "Happy Belly."  I liked it so much, that I was overheard proclaiming "pho would have been the one good thing about being in the Vietnam War."  Nice.

  1. William Forsythe. Isn't that the same picture Robert used for his Mustache of the Week?

    I have to agree that everything was really good, except the pork rolls. I think they got "sawdust" mixed up with "garlic."

  3. Pho was not the only good thing about the 'Nam. The ear necklaces were sweet as well.

  4. Yes. That same picture was in the Men's room upstairs for about 7 months.
