| - I don't know how they were brave enough to put "best noodle soup in Toronto" on their front sign, since is really ridiculously not true.
Went there for lunch, wanting to try the reincarnation of Saigon Sister since I've had Ginger before, but was a bit disappointed. The decor is so modern, and so is there menu content, but something about this place just doesn't work.
Their menu reflects an attempt to encompass and infuse South East Asian food, and serve sorta fusion things like lemongrass chicken rotis and traditional things like pho and pad thai, which is a cool concept (sorta like spring rolls) but you seem to get very mixed and conflicted msgs about what they are trying to deliver.
- The name of the restaurant and its sign tells me it's a vietnamese restaurant that predominantly serves pho
- It's decorated in a very modernistic and clean style, causing you to second guess that it's your typical viet restaurant
- Despite the modern decor, the service is completely Asian--brisk and to the point--and gave us our bill as soon as we finished eating without us asking for it
- There's with an Asian guy taking order, an old guy behind vietnamese sweet bar but it's oddly filled with liquor
- Their menu is nicely fusion and their food smells great, though my pho is mediocre.
I think I prefer Ginger
