| - I was told by my parents that there are only a handful of dishes that are actually good here - the pho and the spring rolls.
Having tried so many Viet places in the area, I gotta say, the pho is pretty good. The broth is the good kind. It's meaty and flavorful and has a clean taste that doesn't leave you thirsty afterwards. The beef balls have a nice bouncy texture to it, and the noodles are thin and slurp-worthy. The spring rolls were also pretty good. Deep fried to a light crisp on the outside but packed with meat and taro on the inside.
We also ordered the dry vermicelli noodle dish, which had a generous portion of pork on top, but it was only mediocre. The pork was a little on the dry side and the flavours were fairly bland. It would've been nice to have pickled daikon or something to go with it.
Overall, this place is good for a quick, cheap, and healthy meal.
HOWEVER, I gotta point out that I was extremely unsatisfied with the service. The employees loiter around, are inattentive, and even after acknowledging you when you have your hand up, they leisurely take their time to get back to you. Some of the employees seemed clueless about the menu, and when we asked for the bill, they told us to get up and pay at the counter.. They get a fair bit of business even on a weekday night but it's clear that they're understaffed.
