  • I'm a bit confused but also amused. I've seen the chinese and koreans run japanese restaurants. I've also seen the chinese run vietnamese restaurants. But I have never seen koreans run vietnamese restaurants. Being located on Spring Garden, just north of Sheppard by Yonge Street and a well known japanese and korean area, you would not expect to see a random Pho restaurant to be in this place. There's always a first for everything and I thought i'd give it a try. Stepping into the restaurant it was clean, modern and comfortable. The staff was friendly and offered assistance right away. If i did not know about this area I would have thought it was a typical modern vietnamese pho restaurant. As I open the menu I was caught off guard with the choices. You have appetizers which consisted of spring rolls, rice wraps and salad. The next page was a selection of Pho.... so far so good. Then you turn the page and you have a large list of korean dishes ranging from Soon Tofu to Jap Chae to Korean Pancakes. Add to the mix, a choice of Thai dishes. Once you order you will be served with a few side dishes like any typical korean joint. At this point i'm more confused. I ordered a large bowl of Special Spring Garden Pho, which was pretty much equivalent to Pho Dac Biet at a normal pho spot. A large is a perfect size for an average hungry man otherwise medium will do. It was fairly priced at $7.95. The soup came out very hot, not lacking noodles or meat toppings. One thing I always judge in pho is the amount of fat and MSG accumulated. Surprisingly it really was not that bad. I was not running for water due to thirst and i did not feel like i was guzzling a mug of fat. I always order an Iced Vietnamese Coffee no matter what viet restaurant i go to. This place sells it for $4 which i find quite pricey. It was however tasty and did have that nutty viet coffee taste that it should have. One big problem restaurants have with the coffee is they always over do it with the condense milk. Not this place. Overall 3 out of 5 for me. I'd definitely come back since it covers my two favourite food types... korean and viet. A few notes that may help you... Spring Garden is not parking friendly. Yes there's Green-P street parking but it usually is full and it cost an arm and a leg. 50 metres away on the east side of Doris there is a residential area. Park there as it's free. There is also one unobvious spot literally on the north east corner of Doris and Spring Garden but on Doris itself.
