| - There's more to Vietnamese food than just pho, pho, pho, and the occasional banh mi. However it's hard to find a place in Toronto with an expansive menu. My sister came across this Scarborough strip plaza place via an Instagram post, featuring bun rieu, the crab noodle soup we grew up on. Not too often you see that in town, sadly.
The food itself was decent. The bun rieu she craves was made with a chunk of real crab, legit. I picked some sort of curry noodle bowl that had quite a spicy kick.
But man the service, slower than a 56k modem. We walked in and it didn't seem like we were noticed for a good minute, and took then just as long to serve your table. Busy and pho of diners as the place was, it took them forever to clean a table and get the next batch of diners in. From what I've read, maybe it's time this humble restaurant grease their bearings with extra staff, otherwise the next time I crave bun rieu, it'd be at my mom's dining room.
