  • Thanks Yelpers, for helping me find a new favourite pho joint! I am such a fan of this place. Its on the southeast corner of Lawrence and Warden, with a small parking lot in front. I showed up around 1pm on a Sunday and they were super busy with a small line. They are well run though - the friendly lady behind the counter noticed me right away and since I was on my own, I was able to be seated immediately. They have menus sitting on the table for you to peruse, and the waiter came by pretty quickly with a menu sheet and pen for me to write down what I wanted (as well as some complimentary Chinese tea). They do more than just pho (think vermicelli bowls and grilled food too) but I knew I wanted the bun bo hue. I wasn't sure on the size since they have S, M and L (a lot of places I've been to only have S and L), and he pointed at another table's bowls to show me the difference between a M and L - I went with a M, which looked like the regular 'large' size I would normally get in Edmonton or Montreal. My bun bo hue came out pretty much about 5 minutes after placing my order. It was really, really fast! I've never been to Hue but I've tried bun bo hue from many different restaurants, and this is one of the better ones. The broth has a great flavour, aromatic with the lemongrass, and subtly spicy all the way to the end with the chili shrimp paste. It had an excellent ratio of meat to noodle to soup - there was lots of meat, enough noodles for me to have a bite with every bite of meat, and broth left until the end (I'm a heavy broth consumer - at some places I run out of broth before I'm done eating the meat and noodles). The meat is a few slices of the Vietnamese sausage (kind of like deli meat) and beef shank-type pieces that have this awesome crunchy cartilage-like bits in them. It's totally up my alley but if you don't like that texture, then you probably won't like this. The restaurant stayed busy right up until I left. As with other pho joints, this one is child/family friendly. Unlike other pho joints, this one is not sketchy and dirty (much appreciated). I did find the price a bit higher than expected (it ended up being over $10 for my bowl) but I feel that it is worth it. They also accept payment via debit and credit if your bill is over $20. I'll definitely be back to try the regular pho and other dishes!
