Pho Dau Bo self proclaimed "The Most Famous Vietnamese Noodle Soup" does sounded a little cheesy... But being "Famous" not necessary being "Best'?
There are apparently 7 others location most of them in the west Hamilton, Kitchener, Brampton, Mississauga and North York. This location is the only one that in the East end of Toronto...
The decoration is simple and a little run down.. But the place is spacious and you will not have to wait for a table ever.. I really doubt that!
Raw Beef with Tripes Medium ($5.95)
- Quite a good size for medium
- Broth is hot and steamy.. perfect for the cold weather. taste wise it is A-OK
- Noodles is the dried package type... not too badly cook.. does not have that funny taste
- Raw Beef is really not raw... like really cook and tough, chewy and dry
Spring Rolls ($3.75)
- I almost want to laugh when they said their spring rolls are "The Most Famous Spring Rolls!"
- The oil they were deep fried in were stale that's why they turns out to be brownish instead of golden in colour
- The wrapping they use for the spring rolls are the Vietnamese type but the Chinese type... hmmmm
Most of the waitstaffs here are Mandarin speaking Chinese... Efficient, Fast and Get the Job Done... Standard in most of the Chinese restaurant.
The menu here is not totally Vietnamese food, there are quite a bit of Cantonese fare too...
I probably won't be back as there are a lot others Pho joint that serve up much better Pho and spring rolls!
