Dear Chopsticks On Pho




Happy First Birthday to you!



If you were a real person I would come on over and give you a big bear hug plus lots of sweet kisses! Unfortunately, you are a restaurant, so no real lovey stuff from me!

This is my virtual hug and thank you from me to you!
You gave this hard core curry wurst loving writer a taste of the tasty, crunchy, fresh, delicious Vietnamese life:


You are an  example to all of us:

You are here to show us that dreams and visions can come true
 (your owner Lynn imagined and wanted you for the longest time. For the longest time should read:  since she was a little girl watching her mom cooking in the kitchen).

You are proof  that it doesn't matter where we are coming from, what upbringing we had or what hardship we endured!

 (How many of us grew up in Communist North Vietnam, tried to flee the country several times only to be thrown back into prison? How many of us endured a refugee camp (Malaysia)? How many of us were at the mercy of a foreign country to offer us refugee status; to offer us a new chance in life (The Netherlands)? How many of us were send to yet another country (Canada) to live with a relative and to attend high school?)




You are testimony that husband and wife can work together:



(Lynn's amazing husband Steven gave up his job, his career (aka steady income) to join his wife in creating her dream).

Chopsticks on Pho,
you are showing parents with small children it is possible to start a business from the ground up with your two toddlers in tow (and no immediate family to fall back on to help with the occasional babysitting job). 

Your vegetable rolls are so fresh and so crispy it is actually embarrassing to bite into them 'cause they make so much noise when you chew ém (even if you chew with your mouth closed).


I love your well designed space, your long tables with the fresh flowers.


Your washrooms are so refreshingly clean, it is a joy to spend time in them
(my father taught me to always check out the toilets in a restaurant. His simple logic is, if the bathrooms are clean so is the kitchen).

Your kitchen is spic 'n span,  (I knew it)



your hostess is caring and your host with his cool spiky hair welcomes everybody with a handshake!



I need to rub in in again, we all have the same chances and opportunities in life!



 The only difference is: Some of us are willing to make the personal sacrifices necessary to keep our dream alive, to make it our reality!

Thank you Lynn and Steven for your creation, Chopsticks on Pho!
Your restaurant is a tasty, healthy, clean, fresh, warm addition to anything Surrey has to offer!

 May the star of prosperity shine bright and high above you for many, many happy returns!
