I'm so surprised I haven't written a review for Bong Lua yet when this has been my go-to pho place for the longest time. Literally just came here today to grab a quick cheap bite! This place is honestly the fucking best, I really do not know how to explain my love for it.
The best thing for this place is the price and the quality. It is a cute small restaurant that seems to be run by a very lovely family. They are always so kind and assure you that you will love their food! The Viet food here always tastes like home, kinda like a secret recipe that only our grandmas would know. The food here is always fresh and never lets me down. Also, the prices is probably the cheapest I've seen for any Viet cuisine in the Scarborough area. It's amazing because their quality of the food is right on.
One thing I have noticed is that the wait times are usually a bit longer compared to other fast Viet restaurants. Honestly, the wait isn't much of a bother for me because the food never disappoints but if you're someone who is in a hurry, I would suggest going to Bong Lua a bit earlier during busy times such as lunch and dinner hours!
This is really a hidden gem! It is located in the plaza at the intersection of Birchmount and Huntingwood! Definitely check out this place, best Viet food ever, you will not regret it! Reminder: they are CLOSED Tuesday's
