Really? This is the best Vietnamese place in town?? The pho was good, but everything else seemed... meh.
I ordered pho tai and it was great. They don't pull tight with the meat, and it is delish. And I loved that they autoserve you a pot of hot jasmine tea when you come in.
However, the cha giò was... weird. I have been known to eat these spring rolls like a wood chipper going through logs. This is the first time I took a bite of cha giò and didn't want any more. I'm not sure, but my (Vietnamese) consort theorizes that they use wonton wrappers instead of rice paper. I dunno, but something makes the texture really strange and not crispy. Do not want.
And what's up with using cubes of ice instead of crushed ice in 3 bean dessert drinks?? Argghhhh.
All in all, it wasn't horrible, but it was the least tasty meal I had in Toronto. And I had 2 meals at Tim Horton's, so that's saying something.
