I don't really get why many claim this is the best Viet/best pho place in downtown Toronto. It certainly is not a favourite of mine!
Yes, the pho is HUGE. But you pay more. So it's same-same!
Both times I've been here there have been gross fruit flies all over the damn restaurant. I know, Viet places aren't especially known for extreme cleanliness to begin with, but this is the only place I can remember there being swarms of fruit flies on repeat visits.
I prefer Ahn Dao on Spadina or Pho Canh Buom at College/Dufferin. Not that either specifically have better PHO, but overall service and menu variety is better.
