| - I've lived in the Parkdale area for a while now, and I have to say that I was a little skeptical of the King Dufferin intersection for a while. I mean, Subway, QuizNOs, Burger Thing, and McYucks are all around there.
I did find a gem tucked away. I did look at reviews before going down to check it out, and I have to say that I didn't find very many good ones.
So after checking out their recent Toronto Health Dine Safe program statuses (passing all of them in the last year), I decided to go for it.
I now visit this place twice a week. The servers (only one speaks English) must be so tired of me by now. I mean, yesterday, I went in TWICE. Both times for food and beverages. It really sucks that they only take cash, but with there being TWO banks on the corners of King Dufferin and a TD in Liberty Village, it's not really a problem.
I know there are cleanliness issues being posted about this place, but I have never had a problem. Being a chef, I tend to look for hot spots, and I haven't seen any yet. As for the gentleman posting about the cockroaches, you have to realize that this isn't the most clean area in the city. They very well could have come in from outside or dragged in on your shoes. There are apartment buildings that are CRAWLING with them just down the street.
I usually get 113 (Beef broth with rare beef and chicken), but they've recently changed the broth and chicken. It used to be boiled chicken pieces that gets put in, now it's a whole chicken that gets boiled and sliced and those slices (that also have fat and grit on them) get put in. I don't enjoy it as much. Large bowl $6.99
Their viet coffee with condensed milk over ice is always something to look forward to. I do believe that it's 906 on the menu at around $3.25. The roommate (A) and I call it, "JESUS COFFEE"...so strong (and amazing) that you will see Jesus!
The Bubble tea is also great. Tapioca is $0.50 extra, but isn't always cooked through.
This place gets crazy for the lunch rush with tables to accommodate anywhere from one person to fifteen. You will manually have to split the bill however, with the one bill ordering system. Also, make sure to put everything that you want on that bill...including if you want a glass of water.
The cubic beef lunch special is especially tasty!
The Vegetarian rice option is their downfall. With A being a vegetarian, she usually orders a plate of Veggies with Veggie fried rice. The last three times, it has tasted burnt. So instead it's Veggie Burnt Rice. ;)
So, load up your wallet with a $20 bill and visit Pho Asia 21! This place is quite awesome and worth every penny.
