| - Let me begin by saying that I have been a patron of this establishment for more than 10 years, firstly because it was just where my parent took me when I was younger but now it is my favourite choice in the Richmond Hill area for good vietnamese food.
Kim Po continues to be a favourite of mine first and foremost because the Pho never disappoints. The soup broth is substantial in flavour, savoury and well balanced. The rice noodles in the pho are more so a thin, long square cut which doesn't break or become soggy in the soup. I usually order the rare beef and tripe pho and I can guarantee you that even with a small, the portions of noodles/meat/broth are generous.
The cold rolls are fairly standard and what you would expect cold rolls to be, crunchy lettuce, pork, and noodles wrapped in rice paper. Very refreshing way to start a meal. I would recommend ordering the spring rolls which are fried. The fried wrapper is crispy and exudes flavour with the first bite. Not greasy tasting at all.
The service is acceptable. Do not expect a waiter or waitress to be coming back to your table to ask how your food was, it just isn't that kind of a restaurant. They will however, take your order, bring you your food, and go to your table if cued fairly quickly. To be honest I enjoy restaurants such as this for this reason, so I would recommend this establishment if you want to enjoy a quick lunch or dinner without being interrupted too much.
Usually costs about $14 (tax and tip included) for a bowl of pho and an appetizer course.
