The nice thing about Aurora/Newmarket is the great coverage of Pho restaurants. However, the southeast corner of Aurora was a little thin. But with Pho An in the 'hood, all is good.
My usual test case is a nice bowl of Rare Beef Pho. Good quality beef, good noodles, and a nicely balanced broth made for a nice warm meal on a cold night. The place also had the local "Asian Seal of Approval" by the good showing of Asian diners.
Unlike some other Vietnamese restaurants around, Pho An is more stylish inside. The walls are fabricated out of stacked 2x4 and 2x6 planks right up to the ceiling, giving a very cool texture. No plain walls here. As a result, I would consider this one of the more "upscale" Pho restaurants.
I'm at Home Depot enough to make Pho An a regular stop since they are right next to each other. Sure, it's an excuse,...
