| - Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants in the city that not many people other than the Vietnamese community know about. Unfortunately it's located in an obscure part of the city. It's best known for it's 7 beef course combo ($25 for 2 people tax included).
I was in the area and decided to drop by for lunch. My friend and I ordered spring rolls, a large bowl of Pho and Bun Bo Hue.
Spring Rolls ($3.75 tax included): The spring rolls were okay, the skin was nicely cooked, crispy but not too crispy but the inside was a little bit disappointing because of the lack of filling. The fish sauce was great, nice and flavourful and not too salty or sweet.
Pho Dac Biet ($6.25 for a large, tax included): The bowl was a fair size, equivalent to an X-Large in comparison to many of it's other counterparts in the city. They didn't skimp on the meat and other items like tendon either. The broth was nicely done, the meat was nicely sliced, minimal fat and a little bit red that allowed it to be cooked in the broth. The noodles were done nicely, not overcooked or undercooked.
Bun Bo Hue ($6.75 tax included, only one size available): I didn't get a chance to try their Bun Bo Hue but my friend said it was pretty good, not oily and it was spicy but not too spicy but very flavourful.
If your looking for a good authentic Vietnamese restaurant that offers all the traditional Vietnamese dishes and that's really cheap, all the prices on their menu include tax or your looking for a great 7 beef course combo since Kim Bo at Dundas and Bathurst closed down, then Pho Cuu Long Mien Tay is the place you should try out.
