I enjoy good Vietnamese food, although no restaurant has matched the dishes cooked by my Vietnamese friend's Mom. It kinda proves that home cooking is often the best.
Anyway, I met some friends for lunch at this place in North Scarborough. The parking lot was deserted since T&T Supermarket closed down, so parking was not an issue. I arrived before my friends and was greeted and seated promptly in a friendly manner.
My friends had eaten here before so I ordered the Spring Roll with Grilled Pork and Vermicelli as they recommended. They also recommended we pay a little more ($2) to get extra pork. Hmmm, okay. Well, I guess they really love that dish because they both ordered the exact same thing!
It didn't take long for the food to arrive and the presentation was very attractive. The portion size looked good but I don't know how much "extra" pork we got. I may just have to order it that way whenever I come back.
The flavour was good, maybe not fantastic, but very good. The spring roll was crispy, and hot on the inside. The pork was well seasoned and cooked properly, with a little carmelization. Crushed peanuts added a little texture and a mix of sriracha and hoisin sauce made the perfect complement.
I'll be back...
