I went here with a ferocious hankering and quivering with desire for pho. The steamy treat seemed like just the thing I needed to warm myself up on a cold, snowy night. I was fortunate to be in the company of two Vietnamese friends/pho experts. My experience with pho has been somewhat of a hit and miss lately so I simply couldn't pass up the opportunity to have some Viet-approved pho.
The place is clean and spacious unlike some of my downtown haunts. The food comes out shortly after sprout, lime, and basil is put on the table. The garnish was reasonably fresh. The salt, richness, and flavour of the broth was well balanced. The noodles seemed just a tad overcooked and good condiment options were lacking if I had to be picky.
The portions are generous and prices are fair. Domestic beer cans start at $4.00. Coffee and interesting desserts are available as well.
