| - This place recently had a "makeover" of their servings. Meaning? Everything was scaled down. The bf and I have been pretty regular customers, I always get a small "special" pho soup with everything, and he always gets the same large vermicelli bowl. The last time I went there, for the first time ever, the small soup was not filling enough. I guess I should have ordered a large, but the large would have for sure been too large... bahhh. Oh and the "large" vermicelli bowl would definitely not feed an average sized adult who is hungry. This did not used to be the case.
Service is ok. They're usually pretty fast. There's an interesting lady manning the cash, who seems to be the owner. One time we got takeout from there, and instead of asking us to wait outside, she asked something like "where are you going to be in 10 minutes", when we replied "we are going to wait here (signalling at an empty table), she gave us the BITCHIEST SNIDE EYE I have seen, THEN proceeded to roll her eyes, and looked away, mumbling something I didn't quite understand. I guess our response was really offensive to her, but if she didn't want us to wait, why couldn't she have said "there's not enough room, please come back in 10 minutes"? Was the cut eye really necessary? Nope. We decided to leave, as our presence clearly offended her, and when we came back and paid for the meal, she actually squeezed out a fake smile and said "thank you, come again"... Bizarre!
Anyway, long story short, pretty authentic food, good prices. I just wish they didn't cheap out the serving sizes. For exactly the same thing but larger serving portions, go to Xe Lua down the street (1 block south of Dundas).
oh and like the reviewer before me, I totally noticed the stolen logo from La Vache qui rit (did i spell that right? I meant to write "the laughing cow" in French). I wonder if the cheesemakers will slap pho hung with a suit?
