I am a vietnamese food junkie. I know viet food. Trust me when i say this is the ONLY hardcore vietnamese restaurant in Ajax. Everything here tastes homemade and authentic. You know why? Because the owners and cook are vietnamese - not chinese like most gta vietnamese locations. And they are vietnamese who can cook!! The pho broth is clean and void of msg overload. I can drink the broth no problem.
I work in toronto. In toronto i only go to 2 places for good pho and rice dishes. For pho its pho tien thanh; for rice dishes its pho linh.
This place has both good pho and rice dishes! Moving to Ajax comes with its ups and downs. But this place is the hidden gem in ajax - where the restaurant scene is crowded by south asian, Caribbean and Afghanistan oriented cuisine.
We love it here and its our only choice for vietnamese food even though we live next door to pho metro (crap).
