| - Hue's is like the newer, slightly prettier sister of Ginger, although just not as good.
Hue's is basically across the road from Ginger on Yonge and shares a very similar menu. (Same owners). The food is decent, and reasonably priced. I have eaten here a number of times, but primarily for the back patio. The patio is an oasis and a welcome addition to the Y&B corridor.
Just like Ginger, the food is not really Vietnamese, although here it is even less. A fusion of Vietnamese, Thai, Western and Indian appears on the menu, which is broad, granted, and slightly disorganized.
Best are the terrifically inexpensive fresh rolls with a myriad of choices. Worst are any of the Overly-saucy-sweet Tofu + choose side dishes. The Bánh mì (Sandwiches) are particularly poor value.. even for the low price.
For Lunch you can get in and out pretty quick, if you are not basking in the sun on the patio. It is not as quick as Ginger, not nearly as organized, and the bus people here are much crankier despite the more elegant surroundings.
After work forget it altogether. I came here for "spring rolls and a beer" with a girlfriend that had some time to kill between appointments and the service was unbelievably awful. We would order a bottle of beer each, she'd bring ONE. The other would take 20 min. We'd ask for more, she'd forget.. Two beers and spring rolls took 1.5 hours, even though we ordered at the cash on the way in.
Good Patio, Good "Fusion" Food if you have a very western palate. One star is for the Patio.
