| - There's a lot of competition for Vietnamese food in this plaza in front of Vaughan Mills mall and I'm glad I came here. The interior is very modern, nice decor, and bright. There are plenty of tables, so we didn't have to wait. The menu isn't extensive like some other places, but that's okay because it made choosing what to order easier.
We ordered the fried rice cakes for a starter and I ordered the Phnom Penh noodle soup with the soup in the noodles. They can also prepare this with the soup separately, which one in our party ordered. When you order the soup separately, the soup comes with a huge beef bone for flavoring, and the noodles have some brown sauce. I really enjoyed the noodle soup with the soup combined with the noodles. I thought the broth was amazing! I drank the whole thing. The broth is not like at other pho restaurants, because there isn't as much star anise or salt. The noodle soup includes medium-sized pieces of minced pork, 2 shrimps, pork liver, and slices of pork. This is some of the best noodle soup I've ever tasted.
The fried rice cakes were also really tasty. The rice cakes were nice and crispy and covered in cooked egg. However, there was some egg that was uncooked that I had to remove.
Overall, amazing food. A must try if you're in the area.
