Shrimp fresh rolls: 3.5/5
I find the quality for these to be inconsistent. Sometimes, they are rolled well (nice and tight), while other times they're hard to eat. The dipping sauce also seems to vary - sometimes very spicy, other times not. I wish they would bring you extra side plates to eat these on because they can get very messy and the dish it comes on isn't good when sharing between a party of 2.
Beef pho: 3/5
I wouldn't say the pho is particularly good, but it fills the pho craving if you're having one. The small is definitely kind of small though, so order up if you're hungry!
Bun with pork slice: 4/5
Tastier than the pho. The pork is flavourful and the spring roll is good too. Comes with traditional sides of pickled radish and carrot. The fish sauce is pretty watered down though. I sometimes need to ask for a refill. However, I did grow up with parents who make a very potent nuoc mam so perhaps it's just preference.
Vietnamese coffee: 4/5
If you like Vietnamese coffee, this place does not disappoint. I've had some that were amazing here, and then others that were okay. Maybe it depends on who makes it for you?
Service: 3/5
You order at the cash register and pay first. You take a number to your seat and they bring the food out to you. Nothing fancy and nothing very friendly. Water is self serve. A couple times I find the self-serve water is low/cups are few.
Overall, I find Bac Ky to be an acceptable option if you're craving Viet food in the King West area and don't want to trek to Chinatown. Good for a quick meal that doesn't cost an arm & a leg.
P.S. - I do enjoy the old school hip hop and rap they play in the restaurant. :)
