| - We live right around the corner from the Mekong Plaza, so this is our go-to place for Pho and good Vietnamese. The portions are more than generous, my partner and I can usually share a bowl and still leave more than satisfied. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. Both the beef and chicken based broths are flavourful, the cuts of meat are excellent. Neither of us have ever ended up with a fatty or chewy piece of meat, be it beef or chicken. Even my partner's 10 year old inhaled the Pho, and he's a picky little guy!
Try the Vietnamese version of diamond ice for dessert, if you like trying new things. Made with coconut milk instead of condensed milk, it's a refreshing way to cool off once the weather gets hot.
Whether you get Pho or one of the rice or vermicelli dishes, you'd be hard-pressed to find a dish that was really good. Add that to the super friendly and attentive staff, and you've got one very highly recommended Vietnamese restaurant!
The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the price. Bowls of Pho are $8-$9, which is a little high comparatively. If they could drop the price a couple bucks, they'd easily be a 5 star!
