| - I didn't have the pho here. However, with items like banh cuon and banh beo on the menu, who needs that same same crap that you can get everywhere else?
The lowdown:
1. The banh cuon is fantastic. I recommend the one that includes banh cong tom, a delicious deep fried tapioca "muffin" topped with shrimp! It made my heart stop twice, once because I fell in love, the second when it clogged my arteries.
2. The banh beo was ok, not fantastic. However, this isn't a dish that is often found at Viet restaurants, so I had to order it. It's worth trying in my opinion, and for $4, why not?
3. Though I didn't have the pho, I can say that they do use the thicker fresh noodles, which I love. Plus if you order the raw beef, the beef actually comes raw on a side plate. Also a nice touch.
4. Prices are good, if not cheap.
5. You can order individual rolls like spring rolls or goi cuon (cold rolls) for $1.50. No more commitments to a full order costing you $4-5! Amazing!
6. Free street parking in the evenings!
I am beginning to think that the Dufferin/College oasis of Vietnamese joints is becoming the new Ossington. I am loving both Pho Linh and Pho Canh Buom so far. Next up to try in the area? Pho Phoenix. Could this be the start of the Holy Pho Trinity? Time will tell.
PS - If I come here next time for pho and it's on the money, this will be a 5-star place!
