^Damn, you rockin the VNkey!?!? I use the term vừa mostly when speaking about fit (ex: ao vua = shirt fits), or to say vua dung = right on, spot on.

Not convinced. Probably has a penis.
Medium means "vừa" in Vietnamese. In Vietnam, though, there's usually only 2 sizes, small (nhỏ) and large (lớn). Some restaurants carry "dac biet" (special) which is usually a large bowl with an extra of everything. This is probably the equivalence of the "xe lua" version of Pho places in the States.
a lot of Viet Kieu say that, basically I think that kinda comes down to the availability of a higher grade of beef there, which impacts both meat and broth, and is also a matter of what you grow up with.Pho in Vietnam actually has a different taste than Pho in the States. I prefer the Americanized Pho.
ya, I nearly got into the dac biet thing but didnt want to confuse the query.
Xe Lua = extra large, but not necessarily with all the extras
Oh man, I want some banh uot and com w/ thit kho chung like right now.
If you don't mind venturing out to Flushing, Phobang is pretty good.
Slanted Door is fusion, but the chef/owner is Vietnamese and Vietnamese food is the foundation, as it were. It's a concept restaurant, and Phan is something of a celebrity chef, and celebrity chefs these days scoff at doing traditional cuisine from any country. They have to add their own twist.
Mmmm....pho with extra beef balls please. My ex's parents used to cook this for lunch all the time. Those were the days...
