| - I think I've found my new go-to place for viet food! To think it's been there the whole time, and it took a new sign and reno for me to forgo xue lua and try this place instead.
What we had - pho, spring rolls, and rice with pork chop, shredded pork, quiche and fried egg, and an avocado shake.
The spring rolls were deliciously crispy and had something different in the filling - I think it was either bean or nuts. In any case, I loved it.
The pho was also pretty good. I only tasted the broth and it was not as strong tasting as other places, but I liked the subtle flavour that didn't reek of MSG.
Finally the rice with pork chop was very good. They used the traditional sticky rice flavoured with garlic, and the pork was so juicy and perfectly cooked. With parents that grew up in Vietnam, I can say that this was a very authentic experience. Not to mention all the Vietnamese spoken all around me.
I also liked the decor. Unlike the other pho restaurants round it, they didn't try to make it sleek and trendy, which is invariably ruined by some flourescent blinking light. It was just very homey with paintings of traditional Vietnamese scenes.
Try it out and enjoy!
