| - I seem to crave Pho on a daily basis... is this weird? I just cannot get enough of it and I figure, it is a brothy soup - it has to be healthy enough right? So, I had an hour to kill between appointments and fighting traffic to go get my husband from work downtown. I love dining alone at times at an informal place to just say AHHHH and relax with a magazine and my thoughts as I eat. I am the type of person that once I get my meal, I kind of need 5 minutes of silence to breathe everything in, to see and taste. Too intense? Maybe but that makes me foodie-ish for sure. So anyways, I wanted to be on or near Centre St NW and I quickly asked my hubby via phone about this place once I pulled into the parking lot. (was so glad there was parking and it was easy to find on the street, I totally picked a place at random) Hubby gave it a thumbs up from what he saw on-line so in I went. It was deadsville as it was an odd time of the day - 300pm or so. This was good as I got to talk to the owner's son and learned they had been in biz 12 years. I asked what the most popular soup was and he responded, "Curry Soup". Me, Janna who goes against the grain on most things ordered something else - the spicy seafood soup (had a chile printed next to it so right up my alley) and ordered no calamari but extra shrimp instead. No problems with that, so crabstick and shrimp it was. As I pondered my surroundings I thought, "Yep, this is a hole in the wall as the others said it was on-line and the floor could use a good sweep but these places serve the best food, right?" Hot Jasmine tea came out straight away and I was so thankful - 1 - because I love it and 2 - it was a billion degrees below zero. Brr. The server was relaxed but aimed to please and I never felt in a rush. My food came out piping hot and I took it all in at my leisure. YUM. I was told that the Mom here makes the soup and wow, I wish my mom lived close by and could cook soup like that! The rice noodles in the soup (my fave) were the perfect texture, fresh onions floated about, the seafood was plump, delectable and the broth, perfect, Just like Pho should be. It was the Large bowl, I cannot imagine what the other choice would look like, the Extra Large bowl! The meal came with lime and bean sprouts and basil. Yum! It was a good experience and a cheap one at that! Under $10 including the free tea!
I am coming back here for sure and darn it, I am going to go for that curry soup next time!! I love supporting family restaurants and this place being open 6 days a week sure earned a good review.
