UYE PHO-tastic Times in the East Side

Betty knows how to throw a UYE!
Good phở and fresh spring rolls.
Entertaining people.
Teacup grey goose shots.
What more can you ask for?!
If you haven’t been to Betty’s UYE, you definitely should go!

This was probably one of the best and most well attended events in a long time for a UYE! It was definitely PHO-​tastic times in the east side! Not only did she manage to get a great UYE together with lots of people, drinks on the cheap and great food, but she helped me discover a local gem of a Phở place I didn’t even know existed as I was thinking of the other Phở Y this entire time.
The people at Phở Y that Betty spoke to were extremely accommodating to us on top of it all and Betty livened things up the entire time, as usual!
Great organization, great job, awesome event. Looking forward to the next one!

First official UYE of the 2010 year + 1
Great Job Betty N + 1
I came through with another large bottle of Grey Goose. I wasn’t sure if there was going to be enough. + 1
Meeting excited new Unilocalers + 1
John Michael getting tackled by Ali + 1
And its only the first month … MORE TO COME!

Came here for Betty’s record setting UYE — and was not disappointed. I walked in a 7:20 and the restaurant was packed to the rafters with loud Unilocalers… always a good thing!
I ordered a #15 (Phở Tai) in small size and it hit the spot. Broth was flavorful, beefy and yummy. Noodles were chewy and oh so good. Beef was sliced really thin which is always a plus for me.
Everything was solid and the service was attentive and quick. Of course having Betty host this event made this UYE awesome!

This PHO-​tastic UYE was super PHO-​n! I can’t believe it’s taken so long to attend one of Betty’s famous UYEs (better late than never, right?) Seriously, this didn’t disappoint! Oh Mylanta, 100 Unilocalers (mainly from the SBC, but SF and East Bay did represent — Holla!) Wowie! Only Miss B could orchestrate such a digalicious UYE! Seriously, this was absolutely PHO-​nomenal, with wonderful people and delicious food.
I was running a bit late, and special thanks to Flor D and Monica L for saving me a spot at their table. At the same time that I arrived, the Grey Goose shots in tea cups had commenced, and the craziness ensued. Even though my girl, Flor, couldn’t finish her GG shot, I helped a sistah out, and downed it for her. Ah, so refreshing PHO sure!
As for the food, within (what seemed like 2 minutes after ordering), my grilled chicken rice plate arrived. Decided against the PHO, as I wanted something with meat and rice! Anywho, my chicken was tasty and flavorful, and cheap! It was $ 7.95, and even cheaper with a 15% discount! Awesomeness!
Service was efficient, helpful, and incredibly patient. I was amazed at how they were able to deal with the wild and PHO-​n bunch that is the SBC, but somehow they managed to do so with flying colors.
It was so lovely to see old Unilocal friends and meet some new ones. Bummed I didn’t get a chance to gab more with everyone, but will catch up with you at the next one. Thanks again, Miss Betty, and Connie for a memorable and most PHOtabulous UYE! Cheers!

First 2010 UYE for me and was only there after half-​time, but it was still an epic win ftw!
Must give BettyN reps for organizing and for being a good host (first time meeting Betty, yes, believe it). Must thank the owner and staff for being quite responsive, and for speaking only English — even to me, yeah. Too bad we couldn’t stay longer, but once the GG ran out, it was bound to end. lol.
Of course, will now rsvp to any of Betty’s future UYEs. :D

Good times!
Good times? Who am I kidding, it’s a Betty UYE. Great times yo!

Sugar Betty is the hostess with the mostess. And thankfully, she knows all the awesome spots for Phở.
A simple regular Tai for me and a meatball for the hub… both were delivered up hot and fast by the hustling staff. Iced Jasmine Tea hit the spot… but I noticed a ton of others had fun colorful bubble tea concoctions that unfortunately did not fit into my 37 week PG belly. But I like to LOOK.
The Phở was yummy, the meat sliced thinly just the way I like it. A ton of chives and cilantro, YES. Hub loved his balls. 15% off our bill and designated seating just for the Unilocal clan, gotta love it. The owner told my hub that she wished business was like this all the time, GO TO PHO Y, peeps. They are accommodating.
The company at our table and catching up with Unilocalers was the best part about this UYE. This might be the last time I see most of ya’lls before I pop out the next super child for 2010. Ahhh, North SJ phở memories. Thanks darling Betty. Me luv you long time.

The Mother of all UYEs. That’s all there is to say =)
Thank you Betty, for organizing and choreographing this fantastic event. Not only was the food delicious, filling and cheap, the company was amazing and it was awesome to spend an evening with old friends and make several new ones.
Breaking the large group into small tables of six or under was genius. Made it so much easier to manage the bill unlike so many UYEs where some unfortunate few get stuck with it. Well conceived and executed!
Did we really kill 3 Costco bottles of Grey Goose? Wow, this group does not mess around.
Too many people to do shout-​outs — if you were there, I hope I got the chance to say Hi to you — if not, next time for sure!!!
I flew back from the CES show in Las Vegas and cut my time at CES just to come back for this. And it was completely worth it!!!
~ 5 stars for an awesome event with the most gracious hosts (Betty and Connie)
# 157

I strolled in around 7:15 thinking we’d be kicking off on SBC time (30 – 45 min late: P). Our section was already 80% full! You guys don’t mess around. So I sat down and ordered (#16 rice noodles with meatballs yum).
This was such a great turn out. New faces, newish faces, transplants etc. Oh and of course it’s always great to see the usual suspects.
Grey Goose shots in tea cups? I’d expect nothing less from a Betty hosted event. It’s always the next level of fun and craziness. Another success, thanks for setting this up.

Betty Rocks! Thank you so much for your hard work getting this thing organized and for being such an awesome hostess!
I like Phở but I am never sure what to try so I asked Betty and she told me I couldn’t go wrong with #1 or #2. So I went out of my comfort zone and tried to be daring and had #1. It was sooooo good! I am not a fan of tripe… so I ate around that part but the broth was delicious and made my cold tummy happy! I also had the Thai iced tea with tapioca balls and that hit the spot with the salty and sweet craving I was having!
And how can you beat $ 8 for phở, tea drink and tip??? Great deal!
And I ordered 3 shots of GG! (not all for me! Are you crazy???) My new friend Adam and I tried to get Flor to do the shot with us… but she was being a wussy so the lovely Gill C. finished it off for her ;)
So happy to make new friends at this event! What a great turnout and not at all hectic and crazy like I imagined! Unilocalers were courteous and paid like they were suppose to at the register and it was no hassle!
Way to go Betty! You have a permanent Betty UYE Fan right here! xoxo

This was my first Unilocal event and it was pretty good! =p
I finally got to meet Connie and Betty in person! =)
Betty was an AWESOME hostess for this event!!!
The event was great and crazy too… I did get to meet some of the SBC Unilocalers last night!
The food was good and the staff was very helpful with accommodating our needs!
My friend and I ordered the Thai ice teas and they were pretty good!
I ordered the Phở’ with tendon meat only. My girlfriend ordered the combo plate with rice, beef, and shrimps. As for my bf he ordered the Shaking Beef with rice.
It was a wonderful experience here and can’t wait to attend more of the Unilocal events! =)

I have NEVER eaten phở in such noise and mayhem. Ron, Bobby and I got there early in anticipation. it was peaceful. almost zen like. we could hear each other talk… all 30 tables around us were empty… then by 7:15…
I mean. Tea cup shots?
Grey Goose? Some of the craziest people I know?
A very well put together event and a kick arse hostess!
This event was like a family gathering. wherever you turned folks were chopping it up, catching up and having a phở-​tastic time.
Staff was super accommodating (some of their facial expressions were priceless)
I will definitely be back! Thank you Betty N for such a super fab find!

Say Yes to the BEST, Betty N.
I am still waiting on the «I love BETTY, and yes I am a fan» shirts.
3^rd time in the history of my life that I had PHO.
I can’t tell you what I ordered, but it was PHO with out the broth.
$ 7.95 for a pork free meal. Noodle, beef, shrimp, egg roll, and lots of fish sauce. I loved it. I have found my dish PHO-​life. The staff was LIGHTING QUICK, and the food tasty. Phở-​Y accommodated the Unilocal crowd superbly, complete with signs and easy checkout.
Vodka shots, PHO, Unilocal UYE virgins and experienced, yeah… that’s how we ROLL in 2010.

Phở me!
This is taking forever to write… thank you spell checker!
I expected nothing but the best from Betty! You know, toward the end of the night… rather the early morning I’m trying to think about this event despite my head splitting headache and come up blank… more or less. I see one of walt’s pictures of me and it’s still a touch hazy.
Apparently there was more GG than I had anticipated and well… but i’m told that things could be worse, that instead of splitting, i could have a body numbing and soul throbbing headache… and it’s thanks to food that I’m told I ate. One things for sure, that I’m phở’d up. Actually phở would taste really good right about now. What time does that place open? Thanks Betty for mind phở’in me!
;D

Phở-​king great UYE at Phở-​Y Betty! Great to meet all the Unilocal Friends, peeps and SBCs! Betty, you out did yourself, and Connie too!
Thanks to the gracious Phở-​Y staff, they made the event great, too! Thanks Dan Tuy and crew! (See pics)!

This was my first UYE event and it was lots of fun! Major props to Betty N. for arranging this UYE and having the most in attendance. Awesome!
I ordered #15 phở tai (can never go wrong with just steak) and it was good! There were 3 Grey Goose bottles which were all finished at the end. This was the first time I’ve had vodka shots in a tea cup. It should be named the «Betty shot» or something. =P
The Phở Y staff did a good job and I kept asking two of them for more water since I was as red as the Unilocal logo. O_​O
It was nice meeting everybody! =D

Betty is a phở-​nomenal UYE planner. I don’t think there’s been a better attended UYE in the history of SBC, or even in the history of Unilocal.100 phở hungry Unilocalers? Yeah, I think in the history of Unilocal.
The food was delicious — $ 4.95 #4 phở and the $ 8.50 shaking beef plate (yes, my eyes were bigger than my belly). They don’t have rice plates at the other Phở Y #1 on Capitol!
Three Costco-​sized GG bottles completely polished off? That’s my SBC’ers.
The chilly weather was perfect for phở, and the staff couldn’t be more accommodating to our rowdy group. To top it all off? 15% off the already cheap eats! PHO-​tastic times, phở sho.

What a PHO-​bulous UYE event!
Congrats to BETTY for having the biggest turn out for a UYE!!! You rock! Thanks for putting the event together! =)
There were lots of yummy food, Unilocalers and Grey Goose shots! =P You haven’t had a real shot until you had them in a tea cup.
The phở was great as usual, but the company was even better!
It was awsome watching JM at the next table. Oh man, I can’t believe what he did!
I can’t wait for another night of PHO-​un! ^_​~ Start planning the next UYE already!!! =P

Yes, what a PHO-​bulous event!
This UYE is down in the history books. .. as the most attended UYE ever! Thanks to you, you, and YOU! Muah to all!
The phở was phở-​tastical (ordered #1 with meatballs). Nothing beats delicious phở and vodka shots. Yes, together. Mmmm.
The Phở Y staff was superb. They accommodated us with event signs, ice for the vodka, tea cups for the shots, and made paying the bill a real cinch. Kudos to them!
It was awesome meeting the newbies and the oldies. I love you guys. I really do.
What a way to start out 2010!
THANK YOU!
