One word to describe this place - Pho-licious.
I've tried many, I mean, many Vietnamese noodle houses in Toronto. It's the same typical and tiring bowl of beef noodle soup everytime I want to satisfy my pho craving.
As you enter in, you notice that at almost every table, everyone has an order of at least 1 bowl of Vietnamese beef noodle bowl. You can hear slurping; you can see people busy fishing through their almost empty bowl for the last remnants of their meal; you know you came to the right place.
It was packed, even though it was 2:00 in the afternoon. I like how you can pick n' choose the different toppings in your bowl. Or you can opt for their house special, which includes a bit of everything. One of the biggest factors in a good noodle bowl is the broth and the freshness of noodles.
The broth was tasty and enticing, with a distinct anise flavour. The beef slices remain tender and juicy, after being cooked in the soup base. The noodles are fresh!
Note: I dislike the raw taste of the bean sprouts, but the servers are willing to take it back to the kitchen to broil it for you if you request it.
