Vietnam Noodle Star has ruined Pho for me forever.... but it's in a good way.
I never thought I would need to drive to Scarborough just for Pho. I was skeptic about how good this bowl would be as the drive out made it even more unattractive and I wasn't feelin' the good vibes.
I step inside to a odd looking color scheme. Green chairs, sticky wood tables, and Chinese television blaring. I wasn't expecting much but the atmosphere wasn't exactly leaning to great eats.
The servers weren't rude but they don't speak English so it's straight to business and order up.
I order my Pho and started to regret my decision for driving all the way out here for what seemed would be a typical bowl of Pho.
Pho-uck was I wrong. This Pho is the best bowl of Pho I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Once I had my fist bit of noodle with flank steak and beef tendon my day brightened and I looked back at my unenthusiastic self from 5mins ago in pity. Sooo tasty. I ordered the extra large and it is pho-ucking huuuge. You can easily feed 3-4 people with this size bowl but it was just so good I finished the entire bowl and craved for more even though I was ridiculously full.
Overall, best bowl of Pho ever. Definitely worth the drive up if you like your Pho and definitely worth the price. The soup is fantastically seasoned without traces of MSG and not overly salty. Noodles are fresh and perfectly tender. The cuts of meat are of great quality and perfectly cooked (or perfectly raw if your ordered it). Make your way out to this joint. Do it!
