  • The hunt for good pho in Toronto continues. I was really hoping that someone had finally come along and elevated pho beyond something more than just the late night chinatown stop or hangover cure. Something along the lines of what Bahn Mi Boys did for the Vietnamese sub. Unfortunately this isn't it. Its the same old pho presented in the same way you'll find in any Vietnamese pho joint. Although a bit more expensive and window dressed with cool music and an attempt at creating a more hip environment, this is King Street after all. Pho Hung and Pho Pasteur is still as notch above, albeit possibly laced with MSG, of which I did not detect at Bac Ky. A cleaner but less flavourful broth and with slightly thinner noodles. The rare beef was hardly rare by the time it arrived to the table which like any other rare beef pho you end up having to peel its layers away in order not to consume half your beef in one bite. Bac Ky does seem to be positioning itself as a healthier version of a pho restaurant with its Vega health smoothies. An odd, but interesting choice. Also long legged people beware. If you hate Nana's recreation of the street food alley with its tiny plastic stools you'll find a similar experience here. Short, although more comfortable, stools than Nana still leave my legs wanting a good stretch afterwards. Bac Ky is still in its infancy and I'm hoping they can still find a way to raise the bar for pho. Even a bit of creativity and ingenuity would be all it needs to raise itself above Toronto's sea of pho mediocrity.
