After a night of drinking, nothing hits the spot like a good bowl of pho the next day (or the night of haha). Unfortunately, there are not too many options by my neighborhood. So I am always on the hunt to find one relatively close by.
Drove over by the Thorncliffe area as I remembered seeing a Vietnamese restaurant there. Hidden amongst the bustle of people out enjoying the nice weather is Pho Thien Phat.
The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating compared to other Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. We were greeted by friendly staff. The seating area was clean and looked renovated.
We ordered fresh shrimp rolls to start. They were tightly wrapped and had the right amount of each ingredient. One bite into it and it didn't fall apart as I've experienced at some restaurants. Then we ordered a large bowl of rare and flank beef pho as well as a pho bo kho. Both were satisfying. The pho broth was flavourful and not too salty. The pho bo kho definitely hit the spot. It had mild flavouring and again not overly salty. The three dishes came out to be just under $30 before tip.
We were quite satisfied and will be back to try some other dishes.
