Sat Jun 13 05:08:18 -0700 2009 154727 shabbystorm 1 4769172 that must have been during the past few days, as it was open last week? Sat Jun 13 06:20:44 -0700 2009 4769064 224238 Caralien 2 4777593 Wow, that was quick. It wasn't there too long! Tue Jun 16 08:58:27 -0700 2009 4769172 190369 lauren75 3 4777707 It was a good concept, but not quite the right formula for Princeton I guess. Sometimes this town is tough to figure out. Over-priced juice had a chance, and I bet if it had been an actual Jamba Juice, it would have done better because of the brand. Someone needs ot open an inexpensive gourmet street-Mexican restaurant. Perhaps a Hoagie Haven clone, but Mexican. You could sure find the ingredients and plenty of locals who are familiar with the food. Could even be a hole-in-the-wall to save money on rent, but I'll put my money on the table, that would do great in Princeton. Tue Jun 16 09:24:46 -0700 2009 4777593 21348 frackit 4 4777750 so would a great Vietnamese joint. Same idea as your hole-in-the-wall-Mexican. Maybe not as many locals with the background, but boy, it would probably be popular. I did hear a rumor that there was a vietnamese joint possibly opening, but now can't recall if it was going to be a branch of Vietnam from Philly, or Pho An Dao, just up 27... Any truth to that rumor? Tue Jun 16 09:34:18 -0700 2009 4777707 16421 brownie 5 4782496 there are no good Vietnamese restaurants in the Northeast - period, end of story. Not sure why as there could be, but all great Asian food is the West - KaliforNia! to my regret. Wed Jun 17 15:41:20 -0700 2009 4777750 158698 eatinman 5 4783787 Pho anh dao gave me a terrible headache; I won't go back. Pho 99 is better (same mall as Great Wall Supermarket). Pho in Philadelphia is supposed to be good, but that's 50 miles away. We plan to stop at one en route to another concert. Thu Jun 18 06:18:45 -0700 2009 4777750 224238 Caralien 6 5162499 I ate at Pho 99 it so so. Can anyone recomment cook by vietnamese chef not Maxican cooking Fri Nov 06 18:46:36 -0800 2009 4783787 114970 Fanthai 4 4777807 I would be happy with a taco truck, a middle eastern cart, or fried chicken (Chuck's only serves wings). Chapin is the closest I've found to relatively inexpensive but good Mexican/Guatamalan, and is certainly a hole-in-the wall. I shouldn't be surprised that the trend towards Chinese+Mexican hasn't caught on here yet (the Mexican+Indian place, on the other hand, is very greasy) Ice cream seems to work very well here. Bent Spoon, Thomas Sweet (2 locations), Halo, and the newest entry, Twist (underneath the yoga studio). Ricky's might also sell ice cream, but the music is awful. Tue Jun 16 09:46:01 -0700 2009 4777707 224238 Caralien 5 4778279 I like the idea of Vietnamese or Middle Eastern too! Seems to me any would do well, as long as they stay inexpensive. Chapin is great, but a little too far out to walk to from town. Plus the last 2 times I've been in, I was told they were "out of chicken". Since I don't eat pork or beef, that's a show stopper. It's not like running out of banana's or something..chicken is sort of your base ingredient for a large percentage of the menu. So I don't even try Chapin anymore. Tue Jun 16 11:30:40 -0700 2009 4777807 21348 frackit 6 4778421 Local pho? I would be there, regularly. Cha gio. Goi cuon? That too. Or a decent Indian place. The current ones have their fans (who, for the most part, seem to place quantity over quality IMHO), but we drive to Abhiruchi for that fix. I simply can not allow myself a bad meal here, at any price. If I do break one rule (getting a fryer), a few places will lose us as customers. The only problem is that I would need a fryer large enough to hold a flounder. Unless, of course, I revert back to eating only locally sourced and sustainable food, which would prevent the flounder from being on our menu. :( Tue Jun 16 12:17:11 -0700 2009 4778279 224238 Caralien 7 4782004 A Vietnamese place in Princeton would be a VERY welcome addition. Bahn Mi and Pho would be heaven and I think would do very well. Wed Jun 17 13:22:45 -0700 2009 4778421 156373 Bossa_Nova 8 4782395 add bun, shakes (with or without bubbles)... Wed Jun 17 15:03:34 -0700 2009 4782004 224238 Caralien 3 4779086 Just to confirm, did ring them up on the tele the other day and the number listed on the Internet was in fact disconnected. Tue Jun 16 15:04:51 -0700 2009 4777593 154727 shabbystorm 4 4782113 I've heard it's still papered up. None of the signage has come down yet. Wed Jun 17 13:48:05 -0700 2009 4779086 277393 websterwoman 1 4904158 Good news: place will reopen Bad news: will reopen as yet another frozen yogurt place. As though Thomas Sweet 1 & 2, Bent Spoon, Halo, Twist (opened in Spring 2009), Ricky's, and Booster Juice--which it will replace in the same location--haven't supplied Princeton Borough with enough frozen yogurt.
