Sometimes, you find yourself having to make a choice between a totally random foreign film and a movie starring Will Ferrell & co. The WIll Ferrell movie will probably hit the spot (for you, I'm not a fan myself), and you pretty much know exactly what you will get.
For anyone who has been here, Pho Hung is Will Ferrell. He will probably get some giggles out of you, but he is pretty predictable in a good way. Service is very fast and straightforward, and the food is almost always fresh and delicious. You may not be wowed as much as that hole in the wall Vietnamese joint you found in Parkdale, but you'll be happy with what you got.
During my most recent visit I tried the XL Pho Tai and an order of special spring rolls. The spring rolls were nice and crunchy as expected, and are provided with any rice bowl you would order anyways. The pho broth is pretty balanced at Hung and lacks any real complexity, but has enough flavour to keep you happy. The side of basil and other herbs is rather underwhelming compared to most pho places, but at least what you get is obviously fresh.
Overall a positive Chinatown dining experience. I will be back.
