I just happened to be working nearby this place one day so being the noodle soup lover that I am, I decided to pop in and check it out.
The restaurant is situated in a sleepy strip mall consisting of office/retail units and this restaurant was rather large. It felt more like a night club/Asian karaoke bar than a Vietnamese restaurant. As my visit was on a Friday afternoon, most of the tables sat empty.
I ordered my safe brisket beef noodle soup (s) and my hubby ordered ginger beef (s) Pho. The bowls arrived without much warmth to the soup which was a deal breaker right off the bat. To add insult to injury, the waiter came by a few minutes after our noodle soups arrived, only to take away our Sriracha and hoisin sauce bottles to another table.
Broth was the usual msg + stock blend and there wasn't much to be said about other flavours in the soup. But my hubby really disliked his ginger beef pho as the meat was very chewy and tough on top of being wayyyyyy too gingery. It was hard to taste anything other than ginger in his soup.
Next time I'm in the area, I'll just skip this place and head down south on Dufferin to grab myself a good ol' California sandwich instead.
