| - Let me take you down memory lane, back to the Spring of 2007. Steve Jobs was blabbing about something called an IPhone, Blockbuster Video was excited about expanding due to the success of the Bluray, and Amy Winehouse was in perfect health.
Back then, I got into an argument with my girlfriend about moving in with her while strolling through the Canadian Tire on the corner of Keele & Dundas. My point of view was that I'd be doing the women of Toronto a diservice by being monogamous.
We decided to hit the PHO restaurant by the No Frills for some make-up Bun Bowls. At the time, it wasn't called Pho Huong. It was called something else and it was horrible. There were a couple of teens running the joint and when I complained that my girlfriends food was cold they replied, "No it isn't."
That day I declared to the heavens that this establishment will never have my shadow cast upon it again!
Well, things change. In the year 2012 Steve Jobs, Blockbuster Video and Amy Winehouse are all dead. That girlfriend is now my wife and I live in the condo where the Canadian Tire once stood.
More importantly, that horrible PHO restaurant turned into Pho Huong, perhaps my favourite Pho restaurant in the city.
It's got a lot of things going for it. First, it's cheap. My wife and I eat two full meals with appetizers and an Avocado milkshake and it costs us less than $25! What a bonus for a cheapskate like myself! Second, it's good food! The fresh rolls are awesome and they are not light on the cilantro. If cilantro is not your thing, then fuck off.
This review has gone long enough. Just go and eat you snob!
