Golden Turtle is definitely my first choice for Viet food and I try to make it out to the west end whenever I have the luxury.
1) Their quick and efficient. Even when there's a line out the door, which they often do, they work through the line quickly. The food comes out as quickly as 10 minutes!
2) The pho broth is tasty. I have been there for over 8 years and it has always been good. My boyfriend and I often find ourselves craving the broth but the restaurant is a little far from where we live.
3) Clean. Those who know me, know I don't like public washrooms but I do not cringing here.
This place has the best pho in Toronto and I have been to many in my lifetime.
