| - I totally forgot to post a review for Pho Anise. Whoops! Silly me! I've been to this place three times, as of yesterday.
My coworkers had introduced me to this place, and so I thought I'll try it out. I have been to other pho places in the GTA - mainly in Markham/Scarborough, and they don't even come close to this place. I am surprised that this place only has 10 reviews. Come on Yelpers! Don't be shy to write a review of this place.
After glancing through the menu, I noticed they only had one vegetarian pho option (# 31 on their menu) which could be good and bad. As for the other vegetarian options, you have Padthai, fried or steamed rice. Who comes to a pho place to have fried/steamed rice or even Pad Thai? Maybe you do fellow Yelper/reader? Don't worry, I won't judge you ;)
The nice thing about this pho place is that, they actually use vegetarian broth, instead of the traditional chicken or fish broth/stock. The served asked me all the three times, and I was happy that they did. Normally, the other pho places I've been to, they never ask, or have the option with the vegetarian stock/broth.
It didn't take long to get the food, and it smelt great. I added the usual basil and bean sprouts to it. The temperature, texture, taste, vegetables were just perfect. The rice noodles were cooked properly, and all the three times I was this close to finishing the entire bowl. It sure is filling, and definitely puts a smile on my face every time. There's no regret in coming back to this place, but if they could have slightly one or two extra vegetarian dishes for the pho, that will be great. Otherwise, its definitely worth the visit.
