I had to re-visit this place 3 times just to get an understanding of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Twice on my own by choice and a third because my friend raved about this place. After 3 visits I am still a very perplexed by the reviews.
Let's get the important stuff over with so let's get right into the Pho. The soup tasted great! You can tell this broth is as fresh as it gets. The portions are very good and the cuts of meat are pretty standard Vietnamese fare. Nothing really wows here but certainly does no disappoint.
The other soups such as the highly recommend soup with the duck leg in it was hard to describe. It was flavourful but really lacked depth and it was very salty. The flavour of the duck was very overpowering and the meat did not taste fresh. It tasted like leftover duck legs from last night's stew thrown into a pho broth.
The springs rolls are negligible at best. With a sub-par filling wrapped in a traditional Chinese spring roll wrapper (not the Vietnamese ones). The fresh hands rolls are just as uninspiring as well.
All in all, if you're in the area and you are desperate for pho then this may just be the best you can get. If pho is not what you are craving then there are plenty of good cheap eats in this part of town.
