| - My parents introduced me to this place just over a year ago and I find myself coming back here whenever I have a pho craving. I came with my girlfriend and we ordered Vietnamese ice coffee, pho Dac biet (medium) and Hue style noodles.
First off, for the price you pay, you get mounds food. Last time I made the mistake of getting a large (there is an extra large but I'm not that dumb.....anymore) so this time I got the medium Pho Dac Biet which is the "house special," which just means with everything in it. That's rare beef, tripe, tendons, beef balls plus the noodles and broth for $6.50. It's delicious and besides my dads pho and this place in Newmarket that I've yet to make a review for, this is the best I've had and I think it's because they give you tons and tons of meat.
My girlfriend had the Hue style noodles ($6.25) which only comes in the one size. I feel like they could have added more lemongrass to the broth and maybe could have skimmed the broth of the fat a bit but regardless, my girl demolished it all. She said she loved it. I had a spoonful and I didn't hate it but didn't really take the time to savor it as I wanted to get back to my pho.
The coffee ($1.90) was delicious as Vietnamese coffee always is. For those that haven't tried it, it is served with condensed milk and ice so it gets a bit thicker and is sweet. Yummy!
As always, I will most likely be here again... My only complaint is that it's a cash only establishment.
