| - Wintertime-falltime is the best time for hot liquids with floating meat bits. I bring you WonderPho! Hot soup with a side of bad pun. The best kind.
We were hungry. The DVP was a mass of tail lights. Comforting food required. We declined sushi (the healthy choice) and went for comfort. Mmm mmm meaty noodley comfort.
ATMOSPHERE
Clean and modern, with bright yet inoffensive lighting and a professional approach to your dining experience ie not a craphole where they wiped the table two days ago with a dirty cloth and the staff are juggling 15 tables and just want you to snorkle in your bowl, leave exact change and GTFU. Anyway, modern decor with lots of squares and flat colour and soothing bamboo.
Good for:
Our group of four lovely ladies, possibly 6

Eating, natch
FOOD
I love me my noodles, especially intestines. I ordered my favourite seafood dish (no glass noodles arg) and was pleasantly surprised at the presence of tasty mussels, whitefish and plump shrimp as opposed to fake crab and a few rubbery nuggets of Ursula. It was pleasantly spicy as well, which was nice but saltier than I prefer (sneaky hot sauce!). Since the soup didn't come with tripe, I ordered some thrown in as well, which they did for no extra charge. The seafood was a reasonable price too, which was great, at just over $11.
Another pleasant surprise was my pal's vegetarian bitter melon broth soup. Because what is pho without meaty bits? Crap that's what, all the flavour comes from the meat. Sorry vegetarians. But the broth was very good, and not too salty either. She said it didn't fill her up much, and it had two lonely pieces of tofu, which is a poor show, but still, they deserve some kudos on the broth alone.
SERVICE
Unlike Go For Tea, where people hang out under ridiculously crazy yet dim lamps and the server deigns to give you your hot sauce after a half hour, you are actually encouraged to have a meal here. The food was quick and the server was nice. Nothing else to say, it was good.
LOCATION
When I don't drive, I can't find anything on my own. It was in York Mills somewhere, so not that far, Markhamites. The plaza was rather pleasant. The Fox and the Fiddle looked good too, if you felt the need to chase your tripe with a shot of banana liqueur or a pint of M. Yeah ew.
OVERALL
Good pho, nice enough to bring your mother for a chill family date, good service. If you're in the area and noodling for some noodles, make a stop!
