| - The staff here are so much nicer than at the Steeles location, and I personally prefer the desserts here to the Steeles location as well.
Of course Nguyen Huong is famous for its Banh Mi, as they should be because their Banh Mi are delicious. However, they have lots of Vietnamese desserts and other pre-made snacks and meals. Their pandan honeycomb cake is amazing, as is their tri-coloured dessert (che ba mau) - if you're going to eat the che ba mau right away, let them know, they will pour it into a larger cup and add crushed ice to it. It is $0.50 extra but much yummier this way. But if you're going to take it home to eat later, obviously don't get the ice otherwise it will melt and water down your dessert. I recommend you crush your own ice and add it at home, and then mix everything up. It cuts down on the sweetness and tastes like Halo-Halo or Ais Kacang.
They also sell Asian-style beef jerky, which I really like, but who am I kidding I like all types of beef jerky, lol.
I've never had any of the pre-packaged meals here but they look appetizing and freshly made. I've had various snacks and desserts and they are all good.
The plaza in which it is located is not the most aesthetically pleasing and going from one end to the other you will likely encounter at least 3 different panhandlers. The parking lot is pretty chaotic. In terms of location, I definitely prefer their other sites (they have 4 stores across the GTA), but for service and quality, I like this one better.
