So it's New Year's Day evening and we we felt like something soupy. Koreans like soup for hangovers. My favorite place in Sauga (Pho Hung) was closed so we decided to chance it on a random place near Kipling Station.
We pull up and it's completely empty. Not even a car in the lot. Another bad omen: the sign touts them as "asian fusion." I would normally turn around immediately but we are hungry and out of options. The interior is nicer than most Vietnamese places.
The menu has your typical Viet items as well as a Thai menu.
- Mango Chicken Salad
Julienned mango, red onion, cilantro, carrots and small chunks of chicken.
A little too sweet for me but overall will def order it again. Maybe ask for less of the dressing next time. Big enough for the 3 of us to have plenty each.
- Spring Rolls.
My brother said he liked them more than usual.
- Vietnamese Pancake
I highly recommend this item. It's an egg crepe filled with mostly cooked bean sprouts. It's served with pickled daikon and carrots, basil and mint. you wrap it all up in green leaf lettuce and dip it in tangy sweet (but a little more syrupy than I like) sauce. Another great dish to share.
- Pho
Better than many places. Fresh. The broth was very clean and not too oily.
Super happy to discover good Vietnamese food in Etobicoke!
