| - Located at the end unit in the same plaza and on the same side as Yoga Tree, Mr. Pho is a small, homey restaurant serving up some delicious Vietnamese food packed with huge (spicy) flavours, and it is the Home of the 50-minute Pho Challenge of 6 lbs House Special Pho! When you are here, get ready for a pho chow down!
Note: There are plenty of parking spots at the back when you drive past the restaurant. The front can get a bit chaotic at times lol.
This local spot first attracted me NOT because of the Pho Challenge but for the recommendation of the Bun Bo Hue aka Vietnamese Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, and the hubby REALLY wants to come try. I'm not exactly a fan of spicy food, but the picky hubby seemed to have really enjoyed it, so it is definitely a pass :) The Vietnamese style cold coffee was also very, very good... but it certainly does takes time to make. WARNING: You may expect the coffee to come after your meal.
The food IMO are delicious and very satisfying. Other than pho and vermicelli, I also love all rice dishes at a pho restaurant lol. My favourite dish at Mr. Pho is the Hainanese Chicken Rice! The flavoured rice is delicious and not oily, and the chicken is tender and juicy. I would order this again!
The service from the owner is always warm, friendly and welcoming :) Definitely points right there! The owner must also be an anime/manga fanatic because of all the beautiful collector figurines displayed in the restaurant! They are not for sale (We asked lol) There are even some creative DIYs, and they look really awesome... I especially love the Goku holding up the bowl of pho lol.
Overall, a good local spot to grab some pho! Challenge to finish the 6 lbs. House Special pho under 50 minutes by yourself, and it is on the house (value $50)! You will also receive a $100 Mr. Pho restaurant gift voucher for completion! Who is up for the challenge?
