| - First time, I've ever heard of this place. Had no clue that this place even existed, in a very heavy industrial area, but I gotta say, it's....the 2nd best pho I've had in Mississauga (#1 still remains as Pho Dau Bo @ Creditview/Bristol)
Located on Kamato Road, just off Tomken Road, this place took over the former restaurant which I believe was called Ellen's or something like that. And truth be told, in the Dixie/Eglinton, with the exception Dixie Park (that Vietnamnese place), there aren't any Pho places in the area (at least to my knowledge there isn't), so seeing this place made me really happy. I was also sick that day.
When you go inside, it has the tiki-hut, woody furniture decor, which I like, it had a very chill laidback feel to it. I think on one point of the restaurant, there's karoake so I am wondering if they karoake events and what nots. When I was seated, I did find the chairs very low, it's not a huge deal but it was a bit of surprise (and I think I see other reviews stating the same as well lol).
Foodwise, so I ordered the seafood Hu Tieu Mi with egg noodles only. And the whole dish was absolutely delicious, the only thing I wasn't a fan of was the broth, it was a tad on the salty side but the overall dish was wonderful. Plus, the dish had liver in it, which I thought it was such an interesting choice of protein to put into it, since I'm used to BBQ pork being the "pork portion" of it. Even though I'm not a fan of liver, or its texture, just having it in my dish was a nice touch, since it's unique to have.
The vermicelli that my friend ordered was on a massive plate/bowl and it was beautifully displayed, also the portion of it was super huge. Pretty sure that's one of the largest portions of vermicelli I've seen, plus my friend said it was super tasty so I'll take his word for it.
I also order an order of salad rolls and they were so good. A combination of pork and shrimp with good ratios in the roll. Not an abundance of noodles, but sufficient amount of basil, with noodles, lettuce and the protein, plus the dipping sauce was so good (even got a 2nd dipping sauce).
Service was great too, they were quick, and brought all the food over together and were attentive for the most part. Can't complain, great job guys!
So all in all, great lil place for pho, definitely recommend!
