| - Wow, only a 3/5 for this place?!?! You've got to be kidding me. This is the best place for Viet in Scarborough, let alone all of the GTA!
I always opt for the Pho Ga. As a non-beef eater, this is always an excellent option for me. The soup base tastes like it's made from real chicken bones (as it should be), and is accentuated by the additions of fried crispy onions, and green onions.
The Bun is to die for. I usually get the Lemongrass Chicken which is grilled over charcoal, and their super crispy fried Spring Rolls. Super nom! The Nuoc Cham is the perfect balance between salty, sweet, and sour. A little goes a long way.
Honestly, this is better than any of the food I had when I was in Hanoi. Funnily enough, when I was in Vietnam, I kept craving Kim Po, because somehow they bring such balance of flavours to every one of their dishes.
If you live on the west end and rave about Rua Vang (Golden Turtle), forget about it. That place can't even hold a light to Kim Po. This is comfort food at it's best. One taste, and you'll have every reason you need to make the trek to the east end!
