| - Surprisingly... unbad.
Like come on, you put a nicely appointed 'pan Asian' joint named 'Asian Bowl' across the street from Eaton Centre? It pretty much sound and looks like a Westernized (read: 'weakened') noodle joint for round-eye tourists and college freshmen.
However, I was really fiending for pho (which happens often) in an area devoid of good Vietnamese food. There's Ginger (shudder) up the street and there's Pho Orchid on Dundas and University -- which is pretty good, but was too far for me to walk to in sub-zero temperature.
So, we acquiesced and settled for Asian Bowl. Unlike Ginger, they actually do it proper-like - we got bean sprouts, mint leaves and lime for our pho. Price was pretty similar to Viet joints in less expensive areas as well.
As I said, not bad - but nothing special. However, this is a good reprieve from all the hamburgers, fried chicken, burritos, etc. mega-chains in the area.
