| - This is my fave place.
I've pho'd it up at most of the places around the GTA, and I keep looking forward to coming back here. Probably gulped down 40 bowls of pho here over the years.
Parking never a problem.
Decor and smiles from the staff may be sub-standard, but who cares?! When I'm having vietnamese, that's on the bottom of my list.
Never waited for a seat, but there's always patrons here. And I've eaten here at 10am, 3pm, and 9pm. Always people here!
Food comes out blazingly quick. Last week, I ordered pho, and without a word of a lie, it was on my table with sprouts in 2 minutes!
Soup is spiced just right. Aromatic and flavorful, but not doused in salt.
Meat always seems good. And I ate here in the middle of this whole XL Beef Recall.
Portions are good, but I do always order an XL.
At other restaurants, it seems half the time the basil comes out wilted or half brown. Not usually a problem here.
My biggest pet peeve about other viet restaurants is when they water down their sriracha hot sauce. Trust me, I see this all over the place. I take this as a litmus test for the overall quality of the restaurant. However not a problem here. If they do do this, I can't tell.
I always pay up at the counter, so I can't speak for how quickly they bring the bill (though I know this is an issue at some other places).
I only ever order the pho (usually rare and well done beef, sometimes brisket), so I can't speak for any of the other dishes here.
Hope this helps someone out there!
