| - Maybe because this is based in Mississauga and a bulk of amazing Vietnamese options are in the North York area for a cheaper price, so I wasn't very impressed.
The restaurant is clean, lots of seating, and since it's in a plaza, lots of parking here too. However, with an expansive menu, most items are $8.50 and above, which is slightly more expensive than what you'd find if you travelled more east.
Most of my friends here got the pho, and upon seeing an actual small bowl when you ordered the small, I opted for the vermicelli instead. My expectations are that when you go to a Vietnamese restaurant and order a small, the bowl is still fairly large and filling, and the cost should hover around the $6-$7.50 range. For a whole dollar more and a smaller bowl, and a salty broth, those who frequent pho joints would be disappointed. However, if this is an occasional meal for you, then go right ahead.
As for my bowl of vermicelli, I ordered it with their fried fish and spring rolls ($8.50). I was surprised to see this place have a full page dedicated to fried fish dishes. The fried fish tasted great - like a Vietnamese fish fillet. Spring rolls were average. All in all, pretty okay deal.
Not sure about the pho scene in Mississauga but this place is quite alright. If you're a Vietnamese cuisine fanatic however, this would probably fly under your radar.
