| - This restaurant is located in a large plaza near Dufferin St & Lawrence Ave W. If you've been in this area before, driving during the day is usually a nightmare because narrow lanes and usually construction makes a bad driving experience. However, once you get to the plaza, there are tons of parking spaces. The restaurant itself is very spacious and looks nice and clean. My companion and I were immediately greeted at the door and seated quickly. Unlike other Pho restaurants, I noticed there weren't the typical oyster and Srichacha sauce and tons of utensils at each table. The server actually brings out your utensils with your meals!
We ordered a large size spring rolls, Assorted meat Regular size pho, and Vermicelli with lemongrass chicken and marinated pork. The spring rolls tasted fresh to order, the roll itself was light and fried well, and the inside was tasty. The pho broth was decent, albeit not much depth of beef flavour but not as bad as some other places where it's either too salty or you can definitely taste the msg flavour. The vermicelli was also decent, with thinner and shorter noodles (which I'm okay with but my companion didn't like) and well cooked meat. I could have used more pickled vegetables and fresh bean sprouts and cucumber but overall it was good. Portion size, both the pho and vermicelli dishes were huge for the price. I think the regular size pho was $6.39 and the vermicelli was $7.39 with two choices of meats.
Great value for Vietnamese food with big portions and good service! I'd definitely come back to taste some other dishes or for my 2nd go-to pho place.
