Hello everyone!

Don't worry. No closure announcement today ;) but we wanted to let you know that our dining room will be closed (so actually it is a closure announcement but the positive kind) for a private event on Saturday February 11th 2023 starting at 3:00 pm. Carry out service will be available but wait times will be extensive.

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we hope to see you all the next day or in the near future!

Take Care-Stay Safe-Stay Creative!

Regards,
Andrew

Hello everyone.

We hope you are doing well and we wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Chinese New Year!

We unfortunately have to close down our restaurant for a week in order to take care of a few kitchen related problems discovered through an inspection by the fire marshal. The issues are being corrected but because of supply and service issues we are unable to address one of the problems until next week.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience and we will provide an update once we have resolved the deficiencies.

Thank you always for your continual support!

Sincerely,
Andrew

Hello everyone.

We are very sorry but due to delays with county inspections and construction staff shortages our restaurant will not be able to re-open this week. We hope that this process will be completed soon but as of now it is in the hands of the county so we do not have a firm date as to when we can re-open.

As soon as everything is completed, we will post a message on our page and website.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience and thank you very much for your patience and support!

Sincerely,

Andrew

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since we posted and we hope all of you are doing well, staying safe, and enjoying the warm weather.

Due to some unexpected issues Cam Ranh Bay Pho & Grill will be closed from June 20th 2022 to July 6th 2022 in order to perform a series of kitchen renovations.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience and thank you very much for your patience as we take care of these maintenance items.

Please check back periodically for updates.

Thank you again and we hope you have a fun and relaxing summer. See you all soon!

Sincerely,

Andrew

Hello everybody!

We hope everyone is doing well, staying safe, and getting ready to change your clocks back 1 hour this weekend 🙂

It's been really great seeing so many of you come and dine in during the weekends, and we thank you so much for your continual encouragement and support! I'm especially grateful because I know of the financial sacrifice you make when you come out to eat or get carry out, and I appreciate you all so much for helping us stay in business.

For those of you who are familiar with my posts, you know that when I send out a message it's because a change is happening at our restaurant, and unfortunately this time it is to share with you that we have to raise our prices again. You would be correct and justified in saying that this is unreasonable, and I do not fault anyone who is getting tired and frustrated with these adjustments.

I really wish that we could maintain the status quo when it comes to our menu. Every month we see costs steadily climbing in all our expense categories and our suppliers keep telling us that things will eventually plateau or even drop, but they never do. We hold off on changing the menu as long as we can until the situation becomes untenable, and we've now reached this inflection point where we have to alter our prices to try and catch up to our costs.

As a result, our price change will become effective this Saturday November 6th. I sound like a broken record but I am very sorry that we are raising our prices. This is a situation where there are no good options because if we don't raise prices it becomes very difficult to maintain our business but if we do raise our prices then we risk alienating and losing some (hopefully not all) of you, which can also hurt our business. I think the proverbial adage of being caught between a rock and a hard place applies here, but in the end it is our customers that pay the price, and I am sorry that we do not have a better alternative to offer.

What I can say is that I will always work to make sure your experience with us is a good one, and if it is not I will work and do my best to make it right. All of you have helped us each and every day to stay open and I sincerely hope that you will continue to support us because we have survived because of your generosity and kindness.

I have provided a link to our Grub Hub menu which will have our updated prices on it this Saturday, so if you would like to place an order before the changes go into effect please do so.

Thank you for all of your support and we hope to see you sometime soon. Please take care of yourself and I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,
Andrew

Hi :)

Thank you for the amazing support on our first day of reopening!! We were so happy to see everyone again, and we really appreciated your patience as we navigated through the carry out / curbside pick up / social distancing guidelines. We had some bumps and bruises throughout the day, but seeing you guys made the healing process much easier.

Our carry out and delivery services should be operational. We are using Grub Hub for carry out and Door Dash for delivery.

We really appreciate the effort everyone is making to avoid ordering from Grub Hub in order to help us out, but until we have our online and mobile platform established it might be good to place your order online so you can prepay and get going. We don't want you guys to have to wait too long in a public space. We don't have an in-house delivery person so we have to use a third party, so not much we can do there :P

In the interim we are working on setting up a virtual payment center through Venmo so when that is ready I will let you know.

I promised no more novel size posts, so that's all the updates I have for today. Can't express enough how grateful we are for you guys! Please email ([email protected]) or call us if you run into any issues or have questions about what's going on with our restaurant.

Stay safe and stay creative!

Hello again everybody!

I am sorry for the late post. It is a bit lengthy so please bear with me. Just wanted to give you guys a few updates.

1) Grub Hub is available for pre-paid carry out orders. We are working with a third party to develop online and mobile ordering, but in the meantime I am working on setting up Venmo so you can pay over the phone with your credit card.

2) To try and make pick up a little more efficient, we used some orange traffic cones and rope to create a small section in the parking area in front of our restaurant for you guys. You will enter through the doors that are underneath the "Cam Ranh Bay Pho" sign and exit through the doors underneath the "Gourmet Inspirations" sign. If necessary, please form a line on the sidewalk where the row of parking meters are located.

3) Please give us a call if you have paid for your meal and would like for us to bring it out to your vehicle. Unfortunately our parking situation is not good, so if you are parked in the public metered lot that is next to Ledo's pizza, please be patient because we are short staff and it might take a few minutes to bring the food to you.

Speaking of which, some of our staff who were coming back to work let us know this afternoon that they are not yet comfortable returning to the restaurant. We support their decision and let them know when they are ready we will welcome them back. This means that our skeleton crew is now half a skeleton, with one chef and one part time assistant working in the kitchen, and 2-3 part time front end staff.

I don't know what will happen tomorrow and in the coming days and weeks. We could be very slow, very busy, or somewhere in between. It will take a little time for us to figure out the flow of our sales, and I promise that we will work as hard as we can to make your carry out experience a pleasant one. If we mess up, please let me know and I will do my best to make it right. Call us if you have any questions (301-933-1886) , and please do not hesitate to e-mail me at [email protected] so I can help resolve any issues/problems that you encountered. You can also send us a private message via Facebook.

Lastly, because we are so short staffed your order may sometimes take longer than normal, so it may be good to call ahead to see how things are.

I really appreciate your patience and support as we get ready for tomorrow, and I promise to not post any more novels on our page :) But I will be posting updates so please follow us so you can stay informed. Oh, and in case you didn't know, we also own Gourmet Inspirations Chinese restaurant, which is why the posts between our two businesses are similar :)

Stay safe and stay creative!

Hello everyone!

1) We will be open every day except for Tuesdays from 11:30 am to 8:00 pm

2) Carry out (Phone In and Grub-Hub) and Delivery Only (Door Dash)

3) We will be offering our full menu

4) For online carry out orders we are currently using Grub Hub, which allows you to pre-pay for your items. We are working on getting our own personal online and mobile ordering service in place as soon as possible. This will allow us to bypass the high fees that Grub Hub charges. Unfortunately our partnership with a developer fell through this morning and we have to start from scratch with another company.

5) Due to Covid 19 I recommend that everyone use the Grub Hub platform for your orders.

I will post a few more notes tomorrow. Thank you always for supporting us and for your patience as we navigate through this process.

Talk to you guys tomorrow!

Stay safe and stay creative :)
