I was told by a Vietnamese friend that this is the Viet restaurant in Toronto - Pho Hung paled in comparison. So I knew that I had to try it.
Upon first stepping inside, I had my doubts. The place had a mysterious and unpleasant smell when I walked in. The menu was limited, but the server was really nice and accommodating, so I kept my judgments at bay. I ordered a curry beef satay vermicelli - OK and imperial rolls - not even close to my top 5 Viet spring rolls. My dining partner had the pho special with tripe, beef balls, etc. - whatever. Not a memorable pho.
I went for dinner last night at 7 pm. Right now at 3:45 pm the next day, I'm still in an MSG haze. I don't know what they put in which sauce, but I didn't pay for this type of high.
Needless to say, I wouldn't go back.
