| - Out of all of the Viet places I've tried in Vaughan so far, this is the best one.
I've had their Pho, Bun Bo Hue, and Bun Rieu. All of them are pretty good- not just compared to Vaughan quality Viet food.
The noodle portions are a tiny bit smaller than some of the other places nearby, but they definitely have better quality dishes, fresher vegetables, and overall tastier food-- I always end up full after eating here anyways. The quality of toppings also makes up for the noodles. PLUS, the tables are NOT sticky. Whaaat?!
Pho ($9.50): nice light but flavourful broth. Would eat again. I got an extra large and that was just enough to fill me up during a very hungry lunch day.
Bun Bo Hue($9.50): very flavourful, does not have the pork foot you get sometimes get in Bun Bo Hue, but still pretty good, really hearty and savory. Very lemongrass-y. A good, very moderate, level of spice.
Bun Rieu($10.50): similar base broth to the Bun Bo Hue, but instead of super hearty savoriness from pork and beef, it has a lot of crab and tomato flavour, and even more fish sauce flavour. It is topped with a cut up, partially cooked Roma tomato, fried tofu, pork blood curd, and a huge chunk of crab/egg cake. The vegetables they give you are the same as the Bun Bo Hue, except for the sliced red cabbage. This time, I had to put the red chili in to the soup because I forgot this dish is not originally spicy.
The only thing about this place is the wait during lunch is insanely long. If you have a half hour and want to grab a quick pho, this is not your place. Satisfy your craving after work when it's completely dead.
