I'm not sure when Lucky's Pho started up, but it just hit the Pho Queue radar this week. It's right near the heart of Fremont and offered the fundamentals under a festive orange ceiling; 7 pho types (which you could probably customize), Vietnamese sandwiches, Lucky Spring Rolls with shrimp and peanut sauce, frozen yogurt, and a resplendant selection of smoothies. But, if you're looking for bubble tea, cafe sua, or little pastries, you'll just have to get your fix in some other way. Everything tasted pretty good. There were copious noodles. And if you go Sunday, you can walk down to the market just a block or two away (recommended).

The table that seated twelve was only beset with eight brave souls; Jonathan B., Kevin, Eli, Matthew, Tim, Les, Jonathan C., and the infamous Ross. That's four times more than last time!

Jon and Eli - the last great white hope(s)...EPIC PHO QUEUE PHAIL! Jon decided there would be six people showing up, so he sat there with the largest table in the restaurant and played an array of six plastic cups of water... I showed up...late as usual - we talked about dirt, and I sculpted a sand castle out of the dense air that wafted from the kitchen. Then, suddenly I disappeared in a puff of smoke. Short lunch - not much to say - headed over to Joe's to help finish building his computer afterwards.

Although...I did hang out at Emerald City ComiCon on Saturday with my nephew, Zac - Frank Cho was at the convention and I was happy to get an autographed artbook. We ended up at Than Bros. on Capitol Hill (where Gloria joined us) - so I got pho'd two days in a row.

This week the pho place was closed. I may have panicked a little. But I recovered when somebody told me there was a chinese restaurant open in Totem Square on Sunday.
