| - Lucky me! Today, one of my best friends (who now resides in the wonderful city of Chicago) dropped into Toronto for a surprise visit. He had some business to take care of in mid-town, so we Yelp'd for some Vietnamese in the area (Keele and Sheppard -- errr...??).
Pho Mi King came up (it's actually called Pho Huong Trang now). Amongst a world of Kelsey's and East Side Mario's, anything ethnical was a sight for sore eyes. We strolled over.
For me, most Viet places get a standard 3 or 4 stars. I mean, it's pretty difficult to mess up Pho and Vermicelli, no?
Pho Huong Trang makes some pretty lame cold rolls (they didn't hit you with that refreshing feeling you generally get), there was no coriander in ANY of the dishes we ordered, and to add insult to injury, the green tea was barely lukewarm -- that's just offside!
Now, I had prepared myself for the perils of Viet food outside of the downtown core, but this was overly disappointing. I'm still happy we chose Pho Huong Trang vs. the Pizza Pizza next door, but still. It's hard not to be critical.
Ah so it go! Still had a great time catching up with my homie :)
