  • What you'll get at Bac Ky is friendly service and a good vibe. There is usually one person on the floor and they function as both a server and clerk. You may have to wait a little to be served/have your order taken, but they are highly efficient and thus quick to get to you. They won't check up on you like other sit down restaurants, but they will be prompt with helping you while mixing in a little small talk. Decor-wise, they use slightly worn down furniture with black, red and bronze making up the main colour palette throughout the small sit-down space. The fact that the furniture has been worn down may make the room seem unsanitary, but it is actually very clean inside and the weathered look gives the place some extra character. With retro music playing in the background that isn't overpoweringly and set at just the right volume to allow conversations to be heard, Bac Ky creates a funky atmosphere for diners. The food, however, will rub you the wrong way. I decided to try pho here for lunch. They serve various types of basic pho and even a vegan version for a more environmentally friendly appetite. With beef as their most popular choice, I placed my bets on that and ordered it in size Large. However, what I got was Small at best. Sure, they use a large ceramic bowl that is similar in size to what you would find at pho vendors in Scarborough/North York that also serve size Large. Unfortunately, unlike other vendors, the pho here was mainly composed of broth with little noodle and meat. I would have gotten the same amount of noodles if I ordered a size Small at one of my regular vendors in Scarborough. To pay more for a portion size that left me hungry was a bit absurd. Also, adding fuel to the fire was the meat. You get flank, red meat, and beef balls when you order the beef pho, but all three were sub-par when I visited. The flank was like chewing rubber, the red meat slices were thin and small in size, and the beef balls were not thoroughly cooked through. Lastly, the broth, which is the heart of pho, lacked depth and a rich flavour, tasting much like water mixed with a light broth. I would not recommend the pho by a long shot and will most likely not return to Bac Ky.
