| - My husband picked this place. He wanted to eat 'healthy' and try something new. He checked out menu and saw the salad rolls. And the subs. So off we went thinking salad rolls and subs but we got there and the aromas on this humid, rainy overcast cool summer day were so enticing, he had us opting for Pho instead. He had the regular seafood pho and I had the spicy one. I was impressed that the Fresh Basil, lime and bean sprouts came on a side plate to add to our soup. The chunks of shrimp, scallop and squid were generous and there were faux-pho crab sea legs, but hey, it's still seafood!
I loved the cilantro/lime/basil tastes in my Pho and it was spicy. Nose runny spicy in some spoonfuls, but it was so good, I just kept eating.
The portion was large enough I brought some home for my daughter to try. Hah, once she gets a mouthful of that lovely broth, guess who else will be a Basil-fan!
Those salad rolls are the best I've had, ever! I will go there again for those alone, because it's so rare you find a salad roll with such flavour combinations and fresh, fresh wraps! Seriously they were so fresh they were still sticky. Some people might find that annoying, I find that an indicator the wraps didn't come out of the fridge to sit on a counter for hours!
I can hardly wait to try what those other people were having! Vermicelli with some other types of accompaniment.
Oh, and the service? Excellent. From the quick seating and table clean up and service and promptness of the food service, I love this place for service. Even though it was pretty busy we had our choice of tables in one area.
My yelp is a yelp of joy today. I found Pho in my neighbourhood that is equally as fresh as the first Pho I had that was made by a friend's mother back in Vancouver before Pho was a found food!
