Minh and Yen are so grateful for all the support of the community during the decade of running Pho Sate. “I am sad that it will be different here, but I am happy for them to retire and I think most of Vernon would feel the same way.” They are just the most welcoming folks so it was never a tough choice of where to get lunch downtown.” “When we have time for a quick lunch, we always know it was going to be solid and delicious. “They have been just awesome neighbours,” he said. Nick Matovich is one such loyal customer, stopping in for lunch nearly every day, as he operates Five Fathoms Tattoo down the street. We never missed a day, so something with a little bit less work now will be a lot better.” We worked six or seven days a week for 10 years. “It’ll be sad to retire, but it is needed. We have a lot of customers supporting us and it has been super nice, a lot of regulars,” said Minh. “The business was really good and successful.
Through the years of serving delectable Vietnamese food, including Pho and dishes with the namesake sate, a type of sauce that is a speciality at the restaurant, loyal customers are seen coming back to eat weekly. “Especially for her (Yen) as she is turning 68 this year.” “We are looking forward to it,” said Minh. The husband and wife duo will stick around with the new owners for at least a year to help them transition, but the impending retirement has been a long time coming. Owners Minh and Yen Nguyen have officially sold the building (located at 2904 33 St.), with the new owners set to take over on April 1. After 11 years, Pho Sate, the beloved ‘hole in the wall’ Vietnamese restaurant in Vernon, will be changing hands.
