"Good pho place to satisfy that pho craving in North Ajax. Very similar to the one in Markham. "
I frequent the one in Markham (Kennedy road/bur oak) and this place has the same menu do its consistent with what you'd expect from a pho place. Food under $10 with lots of options on pho and other items.
Atmosphere
I'd say it resembles a typical AYCE place in terms of seating. Fairly large dining room and waiting area which I hope means they get busy during key times. All of the key stuff on the table, including vinegars, sriracha, chili paste, soy and hoisin sauce as well as napkins, chop sticks and spoons. The older design has a "greasy spoon" vibe in a good way similar to other pho places on the west end and down town.
Food
I'd you're craving it, it's good. It's typical of a pho place. I of course got the house special pho and was impressed with the combination of beef, and still rare steak. Nice touch.
A mis step if I had to say there was one was that the noodles were the dry kind and were smushed in a small bowl then added to the pho. It was a little tough to mix and get at. But given a few minutes they softened and loosened up.
Kinda wish they had the option for flat noodles or fresh noodles too.
All in all a good place to satisfy the pho craving, especially in the area.
