Been hearing about this place from many friends and finally had a chance to give it a try.
First impressions:
+ The decor is way different than all those Vietnamese restaurants I've been to and it makes you feel warm and welcome
+Clean and spacious
+Servers were fast, attentive and always welcome you with a smile :)
For appetizer, we ordered mango salad. It come with shrimp crackers on the side and it was, honestly, amazing!
I ordered Bun Bo Hue (my favorite) and it tastes not surprisingly amazing but way better than those places I've been to, very close to authentic Bun Bo Hue had in Vietnam. Flavourful, strong lemongrass taste with a good kick of spice is what you need for this weather so highly recommend to give this a try. Also, generous portions of meat :p
My sister order Bun Goi Gia, which is slightly sour tamarind broth with vermicelli, Vietnamese sausages, pork belly and shrimps. Her bowl looked packed with all the veggies. I tried the broth and it was light and tasty. The fried onions and peanuts added a bit of taste into its flavour.
My mom ordered Hu Tieu My Tho (dry) and it came with a small bowl of broth on the side. My brother in law ordered Mi Xao Gion (crispy noodle). Didn't try it but they looked good to me!
The food came out pretty quick and the size was pretty decent.
Definitely come back if I'm somewhere nearby and definitely recommend to everyone. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem in Mississauga.
