| - Pho Quinn is a restaurant that provides a wide selection of Vietnamese cuisine. Located near the intersection of Hwy 7 and McCowan, in the plaza behind Kitchen M.
Food: 3.5/5
Whenever I go to any pho restaurant, I'll almost always order the Pho Dac Biet (beef tendon, tripe, brisket, rare beef, meatballs, onions). The broth here is average compared to many other pho places, and doesn't have the deep flavour only achieved by simmering the broth for hours. However, the broth is clean and clear, which is a good thing. Usually not satisfied with the broth, I'll add a small amount of hoisin and sriracha to it to give it more flavour. Portions are generous, and I always get asked whether I want my bean sprouts or basil cooked/fresh. Overall, the pho does well in satisfying cravings, but doesn't leave any awestruck impressions.
Decor:
A very modern and casual setting, feels very welcome with ordinary noise levels. A great place to go with a small group of friends. The design of their menu is simple and clean.
Is it worth it?
Yes. The pho is decent in quality, matching well with the price you pay (totals around ~$11 for a large). Although not very impressive, it will satisfy your pho cravings and leave you full. I come here occasionally and I've never really had a bad experience with this place; the bad reviews of this place could happen to be unlucky timings. In general, just a very average place.
