I had walked by this place a few times before noticing that King West now had a Vietnamese place, and was excited to check it out!
It was pleasing to see Bun Rieu (one of my faves) on the menu - ordered that and some shrimp rolls. One touch I really like is the self-serve water cooler - with both lemons and limes!
The rolls and soup came out quickly, presentation was nice, and portions were generous.
I was really surprised by the rolls - the veggies/herbs in them were super-fresh and crunchy, but what put them over the top for me were the bean sprouts inside, the added texture was very enjoyable!
The savory flavor of the soup was bolstered by super-fresh tomatoes and herbs, and was surprisingly (and enjoyably) light compared to other places I've tried it.
Had a nice chat with one of the staff before departing - she recommended the 'Homestyle' roll, which I'll definitely be returning to sample!
A welcome addition to the restaurants in the area, pop in and check it out!
