| - I think this restaurant used to be a Pho 88 that re-branded or was purchased and converted, so the interior is a little dated. The food is genuinely Vietnamese, and the broth for the noodles is very delicious. The restaurant is stereotypical in that the menu selection is HUGE. There are probably over 100 items to choose from.
3.5/5 - Food
3.5/5 - Overall Experience
I visited this restaurant with my family, and we tried a bit of everything. The classic beef pho, deep fried spring rolls, vermicelli, curry noodles and rice and pork chops. The pho was probably the best, as it should be. The broth was clear and light, but very fragrant and full-bodied. The deep fried spring rolls were good, but slightly mushy from the vegetables inside. The curry noodles were most disappointing as they had just chopped up a chicken leg into there. Not much seasoning on the chicken, it seemed like it was just tossed into the soup.
The restaurant has your typical booth seating and a few open tables. The washrooms and floor areas were slightly dirty, partially due to the snow from outside. Service is typical of an Asian restaurant, you may need to flag someone down to get your order, and with the high backs of the booths, they may not see you, nor stop by to check up.
Overall, the food is good, but nothing to go out of your way for if you know what good pho is.
